Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At fifteen I fell in love. His name was Jake Stephens and he took the abandoned, lonely girl I had been and made me whole. His love was a pure and unconditional love that made every day better than the last...a fairy tale of my very own. But this story isn't about Jake. It's about Abel Madden; the man I meet after the fairy tale goes to hell. A cocky, arrogant man who says what he wants, does as he pleases, and makes no excuses for it. He irritates me-downright pisses me off at times-but he also brings me back to life. My name is Sidney Ellis and this is my story of finding love twice-the first when I needed it most and the second when I never saw it coming. Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

Download or read book Picking Up The Pieces written by Paul Britton and published by Random House. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forensic psychologist Paul Britton can 'walk through the minds' of those who murder, rape, torture, extort and kidnap. He can see the world through their eyes and know what they're thinking. That's why the police have called him into so many high-profile criminal investigations and help them catch who is responsible. From top-security prisons and mental hospitals to ordinary outpatients' clinics, he has interviewed, assessed and treated people who were damaged or broken. Some were responsible for terrible crimes; others were stopped before it was too late. But the answers weren't always hidden at bloody crime scenes or in post-mortem photographs. Instead, they are mostly buried within someone's mind or deep in their past. How does he find the truth? In Picking Up the Pieces, Britton reveals the psychological and forensic foundations on which he has based his expertise. It is a remarkable, enlightening and, at times terrifying, journey into the dark recesses of that complex organism we call the human mind. ________________ Praise for The Jigsaw Man 'Britton has done important work that saves lives. He is fascinating. His book is compelling' Sunday Times 'Precise, considered, methodical. His skill is to go beyond the guise, to understand and inhabit the psychopathic mind' Independent
