Book Description
The kindness of strangers comes under suspicion in the enjoyable new Ellie Quicke mystery. Ellie’s husband Thomas, a retired minister, is suspicious when he receives not one but five letters advising him that he has been bequeathed money by five different people in their wills. He barely knew three of his benefactors, and what could possibly connect him to the other two strangers? Sensing something isn’t right, and with Thomas’s reputation at stake, Ellie investigates but is soon distracted, not only by the problem of trying to ease Hetty, a difficult woman who’s recently taken refuge with them, out of their house, but also by her daughter, Diana, who’s in trouble again. As Ellie finally starts to make progress with her enquiries, she is about to uncover some disturbing truths – and in doing so, find herself in great danger . . .

Book Description
What would you kill for? Is killing ever justified? Would you kill to protect someone you love? Is killing for your country an act of patriotism or murder? Is the death penalty justified or simply vengeance? Is one human life ever worth more than another? In 'Good Reasons to Kill', former soldier Chris Rhyss Edwards shares stories of people from all walks of life who have chosen or been forced by circumstance to kill. Over a five year timespan he investigated controversial subjects spanning domestic homicide, war, euthanasia, abortion, child soldiers, infanticide, state execution, terrorism and honor killings to try and understand why we kill. 'Good Reasons to Kill', the first book of its kind, shares the stories of people who have confronted the biggest moral dilemma possible. At the core of each story are two questions; what would you do in the same situation, and do we ever have a good reason to kill?

Book Description
On January 6, 2004 in Detroit, Kym Loren Worthy was sworn in as the Chief Law Enforcement Officer for Wayne County, Michigan. She was the first African American and the first woman, to become the county prosecutor. How did a little girl of modest means, raised on army bases much of her life, overcome family tragedy and personal loss to become one of America's top prosecutors? In her provocative memoir, Ms. Worthy describes the events leading to her rise in one of the nation's most dangerous cities. The daughter of a devout mother and military officer, Kym came of age in a time of great transition, and charged into the legal profession and changed it with her flamboyant style. She rose through the ranks, prosecuting the Malice Green case, where the defendants were police officers and most famously the Toni Cato-Riggs murder case where she convicted one the most notorious killers in Detroit. While making legal history, Kym also struggled with a personal life that mirrored the millions of newly professional women in American as they juggled family and profession, love and duty. In the process, Kym endured the loss of her mother, a harrowing sexual assault and survived the ultimate loss: the death of her newborn child. Writing in the first person, Ms. Worthy lets us bear witness to the suspense, heartbreak and triumph of a life lived within the strong currents of love, history, fate and faith. With novelist and screenwriter Gary Hardwick, Kym Worthy brings her compelling, true-life tale to readers with power, wit and a healthy dose of heart. As you take the journey that is Worthy Causes, you will be riveted and captivated, as it becomes just what its subtitle promises: a true-life legal thriller.

Book Description
Thirty-six-year-old Sabbath Dyme is a convicted child killer. But after eighteen years behind the bars of an Arkansas death row cell, he is suddenly released. With his wife by his side, he finds shelter in the home of prominent restaurant owner Connie Horton, located on Little Rock's Delphi Pond. But after Dyme's wife makes a shocking accusation against him, his comfortable new situation turns into a nightmare. The incident draws the attention of local detective Bill Brass, who must work to uncover some unusual circumstances and potentially place the ex-con back behind bars. Brass is not the only one searching for answers-teen amateur sleuth Anna Blue and former special forces soldier Ron Cole are just a couple of the nosy neighbors who keep a watchful eye on the prosperous Little Rock neighborhood. As deceptions are uncovered and the truth comes to light, it seems that everyone involved has secrets of his or her own, some more surprising than others. At its heart, "The Worthy Cause" is about the clues all around us, the power of social media, and what intuition can tell us about the strangers we let into our lives.

Book Description
Mike Royko: The Chicago Tribune Collection 1984–1997 is an expansive new volume of the longtime Chicago news legend’s work. Encompassing thousands of his columns, all of which originally appeared in the Chicago Tribune, this is the first collection of Royko work to solely cover his time at the Tribune. Covering politics, culture, sports, and more, Royko brings his trademark sarcasm and cantankerous wit to a complete compendium of his last 14 years as a newspaper man. Organized chronologically, these columns display Royko's talent for crafting fictional conversations that reveal the truth of the small-minded in our society. From cagey political points to hysterical take-downs of "meatball" sports fans, Royko's writing was beloved and anticipated anxiously by his fans. In plain language, he "tells it like it is" on subjects relevant to modern society. In addition to his columns, the book features Royko's obituary and articles written about him after his death, telling the tale of his life and success. This ultimate collection is a must-read for Royko fans, longtime Chicago Tribune readers, and Chicagoans who love the city's rich history of dedicated and insightful journalism.

Book Description
Lets assume that science, through genetic and social engineering, will allow us to live a hundred or more years in reasonably good health, but with the burden of minor chronic disease. If life goes on for that long, however, will nature, God, or some faction of ourselves, bolster death to restore balance to the world? Will the super-elderly want to live that long? Because of the potential burdens, will only the elites enjoy the opportunity to super-ageand if so, will democracy and freedom suffer? Will the population weaken physically, mentally, and spiritually as it ages? Will the young, pushed out by a flood of geezers, revolt? We cant help but view our existence through the many frameworks of life and death, regardless of whether we call them aging, science, naturalism, religion, spiritualism, or super-naturalism. Where does human life begin and end? At the level of the gene, the cell, the individual human, or societyor the unknown? If we super-ageas it appears we willwhat will happen to the balances we strike?
