Cityblock

In the great Windy City, prominent businessmen are being found murdered. This leads Chicago's finest on the trail of a murderer who leaves a unique calling card behind. Private Investigator Sherman Brothers finds himself dragged into the string of murders when his own brother, a lawyer, turns to him in fear of having a bull's eye on his back. Sherman's investigation reveals skeletons in the closets of some of the most unlikely characters in his own life. During his down time he tries to unravel the mystery of the women in his world. When all fails, he finds himself at his home away from home, the City Block Cocktail Bar.

Cityblock explores city life in an exciting and unique way, from up in a high-rise building to down in the subway. Divided into three sections--things that go, things to see, and things to eat--it features 24 different aspects of city living. As with the other acclaimed books in the series, die-cut icons hint at the larger context on the next spread. Each section opens with a full city scene but gradually focuses in on the small, unique neighborhoods that make the city large and grand. This clever book will attract young readers living in a metropolis as well as those in the countryside with urban life that pops off each page.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Mobile, Secure and Programmable Networking, held in Mohammedia, Morocco, in April 2019. The 23 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 48 submissions. They discuss new trends in networking infrastructures, security, services and applications while focusing on virtualization and cloud computing for networks, network programming, software defined networks (SDN) and their security.
