<p>The Saluki, the greyhound of the desert, is one of the oldest breeds of domesticated dogs. The Arabs believed they were a sacred reward from Allah and called the Saluki El Hor, the noble one. Salukis were used for hunting and they were so highly prized that they were kept separate from the ordinary unclean dogs and were allowed to share their masters tents. The beautiful Gazelle Hound has remained remarkably true to its original type, and in this highly comprehensive book of the breed, Diana and Ken Allan trace its history from its desert origins to the show ring and the coursing field. They highlight all aspects of this versatile breed, and give invaluable information on breeding, choosing a puppy and general care. It is a must for the pet owner, the show goer, and the sportsman.</p>

<p>Readers first encountered the Pemberton Bridge Club, along with the 'Jay's Nest' bridge columns, in Ken Allan's first novel, Deadly Endplay. This time there is no mysterious death involved, but perhaps worse than that, for the bridge players, is the growing suspicion that someone in their midst is systematically cheating. As some of them begin to look for evidence, they confront the issues: When does dubious ethics become cheating? Can you prove cheating from hand records? And if you can, what should the consequences be? Finally, why do people cheat at duplicate bridge, a game that offers no monetary rewards? There are no easy answers, and the reader will appreciate the aptness of the book's title.</p>
