""Of the two genders, women have a greater ability to experience sexual pleasure. But as the bookies will tell you, without the right jockey, even a Triple Crown winner is nothing but a nice-looking horse."" "That was the clincher that persuaded sassy Catherine Calabretta, San Francisco internet privacy firm CEO, to engage in a secret fling - sex ed 301 with Stephen Forsster, a self-described sexual connoisseur. But when Stephen is found with bullet holes in his torso and a homemade sex film in the trunk of his car, Catherine finds herself the solo suspect in a high visibility murder case." "Faster than the dot-com era went bust, Catherine goes from "America's Guardian of Privacy" to tabloid headlines. An SFPD Homicide Inspector plows through her private life like a roto-tiller through a fertile field. An unidentified informant drip-feeds incriminating phony evidence to the cops. Videos of Catherine's most intimate moments are selectively distributed to the people she least wants to see them. And Catherine realizes it's up to her to find Stephen's killer before the law rolls her up and puts her away." "With the help of a computer hacker and a bitter, paraplegic ex-cop with a death wish, Catherine navigates a web of suspense and plays hardball with a killer who's determined to destroy her life."--BOOK JACKET.

Soldiering On
Author: Adam Powell
Publisher: The History Press
ISBN: 0750992727
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
A month after the Armistice, Prime Minister David Lloyd George promised to make Britain a 'land fi t for heroes'. At the time, it was widely believed. Returning soldiers expected decent treatment and recognition for what they had done, yet the fi ne words of 1918 were not matched by actions. The following years saw little change, as a lack of political will watered down any reform. Beggars in trench coats became a common sight in British cities. Soldiering On examines how the Lost Generation adjusted to civilian life; how they coped with physical and mental disabilities and struggled to find jobs or even communicate with their family. This is the story of men who survived the trenches only to be ignored when they came home. Using first-hand accounts, Adam Powell traces the lives of veterans from the first day of peace to the start of the Second World War, looking at the many injustices ex-servicemen bore, while celebrating the heroism they showed in the face of a world too quick to forget.
