From the team that delivered the smash-hit God Country and critically acclaimed Buzzkill, comes a repo squad composed of bankrupt former heroes here to foreclose on everybody's secret lairs! This superhero parody explores the idea that heroism doesn't come cheap, so when superheroes borrow money to finance their genetic enhancements or crime-fighting supercomputers, their debts make student loans look like I.O.U.'s!

Book Description
Fines are the most common sentence imposed by Magistrates' courts in England and Wales, covering a range of crimes including motoring offences, drug offences, criminal damage and TV licence evasion. In the year 2004-05, penalties totalling £352 million were imposed, with £75 million cancelled and £222 million collected. Following on from an earlier report (HCP 672, session 2001-02, ISBN 0102914508) published in 2002, the NAO has examined whether the changes made in practices and procedures have resulted in improvements to the enforcement and collections of fines. It is estimated that a 25 per cent reduction in the number of legally cancelled fines would result in potential savings of £6.9 million per year and prompter payment of fines would yield further annual savings of almost one million pounds. Although a series of measures have been introduced by the Department for Constitutional Affairs to improve the system, over two thirds of the cases examined required enforcement action before the offender made any payments. A number of recommendations for further improvements are made, including in relation to developing performance indicators; prompter collection of fines, including making payment facilities (including cash) available at each court; focusing staff resource allocation on the early stages of enforcement; and addressing IT problems caused by the delay of the Libra system

Book Description
the breathing difficulty continued, and he couldn't get up. It seemed as if he was being held down. He felt a sense of panic. But at the same time he felt as if he was drifting into a deeper state of sleep. For a short time he fought these conflicting sensations, but eventually he surrendered to the latter feeling. One by one, prominent staff physicians, who also are members of the Medical Executive Committee of Illinois General Hospital in Chicago, are dying under mysterious circumstances. When Dr. Harrison is found dead in his home, it appears to be a tragic heart attack. Then Dr. Spann dies from a serious case of meningitis. When Dr. Alberts is found dead in his garage from an apparent suicide, the hospital employees only have slight suspicions about the real cause of death. But by the time Dr. Gottlieb expires from a venous air embolism, it becomes apparent that a serial killer is on the loose-and Dr. Jason Pollard knows what he has to do to stop it. Pollard, along with Detective Richard Galinski and his daughter, Dr. Amanda Galinski, collaborate in an effort to solve the case. Will they be able to catch the killer before any more doctors die?
