Download or read book Death of a Bad Neighbour Revenge is Criminal written by Jack Calverley and published by Logic of Dreams. This book was released on 2022-04 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fratricide is funny-in the hands of STEVE HOCKENSMITH-but, mostly, bad neighbours (related or not) are bad news and endlessly infuriating, as in HILARY DAVIDSON's "King of the Castle," or endlessly preying on your goodwill, as in EVE MORTON's "Vengeance Takes a Holiday." (Yet what relief!-be honest now-when that neighbour hits the dance floor for their final dance: the great Mortal Coil Shuffle!) Sometimes, naturally, the hatred is mutual and one against one, as in EVE ELLIOT's "One Spye After Another," or one against many, as in KEVIN QUIGLEY's "The Woman Who Cried Cat." And a bad neighbour should never underestimate their victim, as WARREN MOORE's "One of Us Is Dying" venomously suggests or F. D. TRENTON's "I Found Me a Bigger Flea" tells us in a disagreeable escalation of, er, disagreeableness. (And what's not to like-come, search your soul and tell me I'm wrong-with a little bit of biting back?) In a traditional vein, a little investigation can go a long way, as we find in WENDY HARRISON's "A Little Power," or the wrong way in DAVE ZELTSERMAN's "Woops!" Happily, a bad neighbour might turn out to be the worst possible neighbour to themself, as in L. C. TYLER's "Fifty Something," or ROBERT LOPRESTI's "Lambs and Wolves." While KAY HANIFEN portrays a dedicated handmaiden to bitter non-regret, and MARILYN TODD bangs the rock into rock star, and NICK MANZOLILLO challenges us to take a trip next door. But only SHINY NYQUIST can tell us what "Sir Fergus Allison's Bench" is for. Themed these stories may be; same-ish they are not. This crime and mystery anthology is edited by JACK CALVERLEY.

Book excerpt: Explore worlds, meet people and share their futures in 10 original science fiction short stories—sometimes true to life, sometimes metaphoric, always absorbing. From time travel to telepathy, from AI to aliens, from the conscious mind to what comes after, science fiction is nothing if not the literature of ideas, and it's all here: - In a world where the future is entirely determined, everything known in advance, Gary’s diary unexpectedly goes blank... - One unfortunate must negotiate peace before the missile nose cone that imprisons him delivers its payload... - All civilisations end, but what ends the Age of AI? - And why is Terri only too grateful that telepathy is a one-way street? Aside from which: Is honesty the best policy when everyone else lies? How do you make sense of memories when your ultra-smart implant is removed? Would a uniform, gelatinous mass of happy conscious substance make for a perfect world? And what does UITSU mean? Journey from the satirically dark to the fizzy and light while the future comes at you non-stop—the time to read is now!

Download or read book Law and Crime in the Roman World written by Jill Harries and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-11-15 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What was crime in ancient Rome? Was it defined by law or social attitudes? How did damage to the individual differ from offences against the community as a whole? This book explores competing legal and extra-legal discourses in a number of areas, including theft, official malpractice, treason, sexual misconduct, crimes of violence, homicide, magic and perceptions of deviance. It argues that court practice was responsive to social change, despite the ingrained conservatism of the legal tradition, and that judges and litigants were in part responsible for the harsher operation of justice in Late Antiquity. Consideration is also given to how attitudes to crime were shaped not only by legal experts but also by the rhetorical education and practices of advocates, and by popular and even elite indifference to the finer points of law.

Download or read book Dark Voyage written by Alan Furst and published by Random House. This book was released on 2004-08-03 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In the first nineteen months of European war, from September 1939 to March of 1941, the island nation of Britain and her allies lost, to U-boat, air, and sea attack, to mines and maritime disaster, one thousand five hundred and ninety-six merchant vessels. It was the job of the Intelligence Division of the Royal Navy to stop it, and so, on the last day of April 1941 . . .” May 1941. At four in the morning, a rust-streaked tramp freighter steams up the Tagus River to dock at the port of Lisbon. She is the Santa Rosa, she flies the flag of neutral Spain and is in Lisbon to load cork oak, tinned sardines, and drums of cooking oil bound for the Baltic port of Malmö. But she is not the Santa Rosa. She is the Noordendam, a Dutch freighter. Under the command of Captain Eric DeHaan, she sails for the Intelligence Division of the British Royal Navy, and she will load detection equipment for a clandestine operation on the Swedish coast–a secret mission, a dark voyage. A desperate voyage. One more battle in the spy wars that rage through the back alleys of the ports, from elegant hotels to abandoned piers, in lonely desert outposts, and in the souks and cafés of North Africa. A battle for survival, as the merchant ships die at sea and Britain–the last opposition to Nazi German–slowly begins to starve. A voyage of flight, a voyage of fugitives–for every soul aboard the Noordendam. The Polish engineer, the Greek stowaway, the Jewish medical officer, the British spy, the Spaniards who fought Franco, the Germans who fought Hitler, the Dutch crew itself. There is no place for them in occupied France; they cannot go home. From Alan Furst–whom The New York Times calls America’s preeminent spy novelist–here is an epic tale of war and espionage, of spies and fugitives, of love in secret hotel rooms, of courage in the face of impossible odds. Dark Voyage is taut with suspense and pounding with battle scenes; it is authentic, powerful, and brilliant.
