Product Description
"The [arrays] exercises are quite sophisticated and interesting. Provides the best combination of conceptual discussion and implementation examples of dynamic binding that I have encountered in a text. Excellent overview of basic networking via Java. Provides the perfect breadth and depth for generics in an entry-level Java class. Provides a good segue into a data structures course -- the exercises are excellent." -- Ric Heishman, George Mason University "Beautiful collections of exercises--a nice illustration of how to use Java libraries to generate impressive and stimulating graphics with minimal code and effort. I found the "Making a Difference" exercises to be very nice and tactfully presented." -- Amr Sabry, Indiana University"A comprehensive introduction to programming in Java that covers all major areas of the platform. To me, the best way to understand programming is by example, and this book contains copious, well-described sample code." -- Simon Ritter, Sun Microsystems "Great example of polymorphism and interfaces. Great comparison of recursion and iteration. I found the [Searching and Sorting] chapter to be just right.A very understandable, simplified explanation of Big O--the best I have ever read! A great synthesis of details to help someone create generic data structures. I appreciate the addition of the GUI-based threading issues. Great approach to Java web technologies." -- Sue McFarland Metzger, Villanova University "I'm sure this [ATM] case study will be of immense value to practitioners and students of the object-oriented approach. Demystifies inheritance and polymorphism, and illustrates their use in getting elegant, simple and maintainable code." -- Vinod Varma, Astra Infotech Private Limited ... Read more

Product Description
On September 17, 1998, police found Las Vegas gambling magnate Ted Binion lying dead on the floor of his palatial home, an empty bos of Xanax beside him. The police had been called by Binion's live-in lover, Sandra Murphy, 23, a California girl who had been working in a Vegas strip club when Binion had first met her. At first it seemed it was a fatal drug overdose that killed the handsome multi-millionaire. But was it?

A few days later, Binion's "friend" Rick Tabish was arrested for trying to break into a vault where the eccentric millionaire had stored seven million dollars' worth of silver bars and coins. Family members hired ex-homicide detective-turned-private investigator Tom Dillar to start digging into the case. Dillard turned over the evidence he collected to Las Vegas police. What they found led to Binion's death being ruled a homicide and Murphy and Tabish's arrest for murder.

The state said they were greedy lovers who'd conspired to kill Binion before they could strike Murphy out of his will, while the defense claimed that his vengeful family was trying to railroad Murphy to keep her from inheriting her fair share of the estate. The two sides collided in court, amid lurid charges and countercharges of physical abuse, drug use and illicit passion, in what became the Southwest's Murder Trial of the Century!

An Early Grave
I have a hard time with the condition portion of the description of the used books that I have bought. Although they (the sellers) consider their books in good condition, in my opinion, they are not in that good of condition. Or, there is a large range for good condition. I find that it costs me as much as a brand new book when shipping is included. I have bought books that have a .99 cent price tag from from the Goodwill store still attached to them and I pay an average of $10.00 (book + shipping) for the book. Considering this, all my used books that have been read once, are all in excellent condition and I would sell them for the same price as the used ones I have bought. Maybe it's just my personal critiquing that is the problem, but unless I really want to read a book that is no longer being printed, I will first try to locate it at the Goodwill store.

Best Book on the Subject
Why do I give a damn about these people who have absolutely nothing to do with me? My sis lives in Vegas, and years ago when I was visiting, we were standing downtown when she pointed out that it was no longer "Binion's Horseshoe". She said it was due to the shady death of a family member.
Well, this story has it all, sex, boobjobs, topless dancers, heroin, drive by shootings, and the most screwy attempted murder cover up ever. These people were the kind that typically do not make good criminals, genetically smiled upon individuals, whose brains should stay in their crotch.
I have read "Quicksilver, and two other books on the subject, and this is the best. Following the viewpoint of the head investigator, (who is a composite of law enforcement), watching the show as it unfolds,this book is easier to follow than the others yet does not sacrifice chronolology.

A Real Page Turner!
I beg to differ with the reader from Scottsdale, AZ.I found King's book to be a real page-turner, as are all of King's books, from beginning to end.I particularly liked the historical aspects of the book, from background about Las Vegas and Nevada to background on the Binion family history.King doesn't pad his books with filler--instead he tells a story the way a story should be told.If you like romance and/or Gone With the Wind type stuff, or descriptions of city streets that take up eight pages or so every time a descriptive passage presents itself, then you should stick with the so-called and self-proclaimed "Queen of True Crime."If you're after hard-hitting true crime that really moves, page after page, then you'll like this book and just about anything else this guy has written.

Pure Sleaze!
Don't waste your time on this one. It lacks the forensic psychological profiling necessary for an interesting true crime book. If you're looking for more than just sleaze, read any of Ann Rule's books.

An Early Grave
