Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tropical paradise turns deadly. Service dog trainer Marcia Banks had thought it was the perfect arrangement—stay on her client’s private Gulf-coast island and get the human phase of the training done more quickly, while enjoying a much-needed break from the chaos of house renovations back home. This certainly wasn't the tranquil getaway she’d envisioned, however. Two resident ghosts, a sour-puss housekeeper and bearing witness to her client’s shaky marriage are bad enough. But within days, she’s discovered even deeper and darker layers of dysfunction. Via emails and static-filled phone calls, fiancé Will Haines convinces her to get herself and her dog Buddy out of there, but before Marcia can accomplish this, a late-season hurricane abruptly changes course and strands them on the island... with a murderer.

Download or read book Entangled Empires written by Jorge Canizares-Esguerra and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2018-02-01 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to conventional wisdom, in the sixteenth century, Spain and Portugal served as a model to the English for how to go about establishing colonies in the New World and Africa. By the eighteenth century, however, it was Spain and Portugal that aspired to imitate the British. Editor Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra and the contributors to Entangled Empires challenge these long-standing assumptions, exploring how Spain, Britain, and Portugal shaped one another throughout the entire period, from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries. They argue that these empires were interconnected from the very outset in their production and sharing of knowledge as well as in their economic activities. Willingly or unwillingly, African slaves, Amerindians, converso traders, smugglers, missionaries, diplomats, settlers, soldiers, and pirates crossed geographical, linguistic, and political boundaries and cocreated not only local but also imperial histories. Contributors reveal that entanglement was not merely a process that influenced events in the colonies after their founding; it was constitutive of European empire from the beginning. The essays in Entangled Empires seek to clarify the processes that rendered the intertwined histories of these colonial worlds invisible, including practices of archival erasure as well as selective memorialization. Bringing together a large geography and chronology, Entangled Empires emphasizes the importance of understanding connections, both intellectual and practical, between the English and Iberian imperial projects. The colonial history of the United States ought to be considered part of the history of colonial Latino-America just as Latin-American history should be understood as fundamental to the formation of the United States.

Book excerpt: Another three-book bundle, and a bonus novella—follow Kate Huntington and her new PI husband as they deal with the paparazzi, an international assassin, and a 9/11 first responder accused of murder, plus a locked-room mystery on a Caribbean cruise. CELEBRITY STATUS: Kate’s PI husband, Skip Canfield, has his first celebrity client, a pop singer with a stalker who has a twisted concept of love. Soon, Skip and his family are being hounded by paparazzi and someone is planting evidence that Kate and their lawyer friend Rob are lovers. Struggling to deal with this unwanted attention and a stalker who will stop at nothing, Kate and Skip must face the reality that they can’t always keep those they love from harm. COLLATERAL CASUALTIES: A former psychotherapy client reaches out to Kate and reveals a foreign diplomat’s dark secret, then dies of “natural causes” days later. Was the man delusional or is she now privy to dangerous information? Soon she realizes he was quite sane…and he was murdered. Now, she and anyone she might have told are targets of a ruthless assassin bent on protecting the ambassador’s secret. ZERO HERO: On the 10th anniversary of 9/11, the media replays the videos again and again, and a national hero’s life unravels. When the first responder—already struggling with PTSD and addiction—is accused of murder, Kate finds herself going above and beyond to help him. She and her PI husband are thrust into a deadly world of drugs, prostitutes and hired killers, and end up questioning who they are…and what it means to be brave.

When Cora’s corpse is found in a cabin locked from the inside, the ship’s captain assumes it’s suicide. But Kate is skeptical; the evidence points more and more toward murder. But how did the killer get out of a locked room? (Note: The first two books in this collection were part of a previous 5-book bundle.)

Download or read book Cancer Entangled written by Rikke Sand Andersen and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2023-04-14 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer Entangled explores the shifts that took place in Denmark around the millennium, when health promoters set out to minimize delays in cancer diagnoses in hope of improving cancer survival. The authors suggest a temporal reframing of cancer control that emphasizes the importance of focusing on how people – potential patients as well as health care professionals – experience and anticipate cancer before a diagnosis or a prediction has been made. This argument compellingly challenges and augments anthropological work on cancer control that has privileged attention to the productive role of science and technology and to life with cancer or cancer risk. By offering rich ethnographic insights into the introduction of the first cancer vaccine, cancer signs and symptoms, public discourses on delays, social class and care seeking, cancer suspicion in the clinic, as well as the work on fast-track referral – the book convincingly situates cancer control in an ethical registrar involving attention to acceleration and time, showing how cancer waiting times become an index of the "state of the nation".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What could be more innocent than a country flea market? When service dog trainer Marcia Banks takes up temporary residence with her best friend in Williston, Florida, her goals are simple: spoil her toddler godchildren and train her newest dog’s veteran owner, a vendor at a local flea market. Ha, the universe has other plans. When the owner of the flea market is found dead and her client is a prime suspect, she discovers that nothing is as it seems—from the flea market owner himself, to the ornate dragonhead cane he gave to her client, to the beautiful but not very bright young woman whom her client has a crush on. The only true innocent in the bunch seems to be her guileless client. But when he shares a confidence that puts her in a double bind with local law enforcement, she’s not sure she can even trust him. Despite her promises to her new husband to not "poke around" in the investigation, the only way out of her no-win dilemma seems to be to find the real killer. The flea market, however, is hiding more secrets, and at least one of them could be deadly.

Judith Anderson’s no-nonsense attitude and confidence served her well in her climb to homicide lieutenant in the Baltimore County PD, but that confidence is shaken when she finds herself one step behind a serial killer—just eight days into her new job as Chief of Police in a small Florida city. The first victim, a female college student, may be a case of wrong place, wrong time.

Plus, evidence is stacking up that there’s a leak in her department. Who can she trust? If she makes the wrong assumption, the wrong decision, it may be her last. In a race to save lives, she’ll draw on every talent and instinct that made her a star in Baltimore. But will it be enough this time?
