“Fast-paced from the gate with unexpected twists that will keep you guessing.” —Margie Miklas, author of Absolute Revenge "A smart, creative mystery—I was hooked from page one." —Joan Long, Agatha-nominated author of The Finalist After a roller-coaster ride of a honeymoon in Venice, Sibeal “Beth” Getty and her husband, Shane, are eager to settle into the comforts of married life. Beth is resuming her modeling career, and Shane has landed a new job as an art theft detective. But their domesticity is short-lived when Beth learns that her actress friend is accused of murdering a Hollywood director, and she races to the movie location. Buried in work, Shane pursues the theft of several masterpieces belonging to an A-list actor. Desperate to clear her friend of murder, Beth relies on her fey, her sixth sense, for guidance. Details surrounding the mysterious death curiously parallel the unsolved murder of a 1922 movie director. Beth soon realizes that the unquenchable appetite for sex, drugs, and blind ambition, a mainstay of old Tinseltown, is alive and well on the current movie set. Faced with a dizzying array of suspects, Beth must ferret out who has the most to gain from the director’s death. In one last bid to link the clues, she speculates that the stolen art and the murder are connected. To find the truth, Beth must uncover the shadowy forces at play before she becomes the killer’s next victim.

In Beijing in 1904, multiple murderer Wang Weiqin became one of the last to suffer the extreme punishment known as lingchi, called by Western observers “death by a thousand cuts.” This is the first book to explore the history, iconography, and legal contexts of Chinese tortures and executions from the 10th century until lingchi’s abolition in 1905.

Set in a world of government censure and ruthless stifling of anyone who questions their ways, CUT is a posthumous look at the personal and professional life of a visionary theatre artist. Would he be considered an 'urban naxal' today or remembered as a fearless agent who fought for social change? Did he and those close to him have to pay the price for their voices to be heard? Told in disparate voices, CUT explores commitment to artistic integrity and art as a platform for social reform against all odds, even when it becomes a question of survival.

Putting the current crisis of democracy into historical perspective, Death by a Thousand Cuts chronicles how would-be despots, dictators, and outright tyrants have finessed the techniques of killing democracies earlier in history, in the 20th Century, and how today’s autocrats increasingly continue to do so in the 21st. It shows how autocratic government becomes a kleptocracy, sustained only to enrich the ruler and his immediate family. But the book also addresses the problems of being a dictator and considers if dictatorships are successful in delivering public policies, and finally, how autocracies break down. We tend to think of democratic breakdowns as dramatic events, such as General Pinochet’s violent coup in Chile, or Generalissimo Franco’s overthrow of the Spanish Republic. But this is not how democracies tend to die – only five percent of democracies end like this. Most often, popular government is brought down gradually; almost imperceptibly. Based in part on Professor Qvortrup’s BBC Programme Death by a Thousand Cuts (Radio-4, 2019), the book shows how complacency is the greatest danger for the survival of government by the people. Recently democratically elected politicians have used crises as a pretext for dismantling democracy. They follow a pattern we have seen in all democracies since the dawn of civilisation. The methods used by Octavian in the dying days of the Roman Republic were almost identical to those used by Hungarian strongman Viktor Orbán in 2020. And, sadly, there are no signs that the current malaise will go away. Death by a Thousand Cuts adds substance to a much-discussed topic: the threat to democracy. It provides evidence and historical context like no other book on the market. Written in an accessible style with vignettes as well as new empirical data, the books promises to be the defining book on the topic. This book will help readers who are concerned about the longevity of democracy understand when and why democracy is in danger of collapsing, and alert them to the warning signs of its demise.

If you feel frustrated because all you do is work, yet do not seem to reap the rewards of your hard work while others live the life of absolute luxury, wealth and power without working, this book will show you why. It covers many different subjects, and will build you the mind's eye of the complex structure of the system, which is designed to strip you of your wealth, and give it to those in power. This book has been written to be read from start to finish first, and then used as reference, because there is way too much detail to rely on memory alone to remember. Such topics are as follows: Money, The Banking System, Tax, GDP, Debating Techniques, Gas-lighting, Free speech, Propaganda, Politics, Religion, Multiculturalism, Racism, Welfare, Rights, Law, Fractional Reserve Banking, Debt as money, National Debt, Quantitative Easing, Derivatives, World Reserve Currency, War, Wage Compression, Education, Bitcoin and many more. Do not worry if these topics seem daunting or intimidating to you, academia has designed them to be this way so you will fear trying to learn them, but each topic has been distilled down to a very short chapter, and detailed in a way to make it very clear and easy to understand. Do not fear knowledge, as knowledge will make you fearless.

Meditation on death, though it seems depressing to many, is essential for our Salvation! Death is the one journey every man must go through alone. It is the one thing that sobers us all and can set us on a more resolute path to Holiness. But this path only begins after facing the reality of death, for to avoid it only increases our fear. In this popular abridgment of his monumental Preparation for Death, St Alphonsus teaches us the proper attitude toward death, which is one of readiness, of always having our debts cleared. Each chapter is a short consideration with three points, easily understood by laity in all states of life. Each point is followed by meditations and prayers for perseverance in our efforts to lead good lives. To aid busy priests in their sermons, St Alphonsus purposely included texts from Scripture and passages from the Holy Fathers, personally selected by the Saint himself to touch the heart of every reader and listener. St Alphonsus shows us how death is, on the natural level, a great sorrow but, on the supernatural level, a great gift. Understanding it as a gift and implementing this knowledge in our lives is the lesson of each powerful meditation. This book is a wonderful way to enhance your Lenten devotions and gain a more profound gratitude for Christ's victory over Death and Hell through His crucifixion and Resurrection!
