Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Billy “Two Bears” Simpson is a member of the St. Paul Police Force. He is of mixed race, half Dakota Sioux and half White. He has been raised in the White community, but still has ties with the Mdewakanton Dakota Reservation. Kelly Stewart is Billy’s partner on the force. Despite regulations against it, they have become involved. When a serial killer puts the city of St. Paul on edge, the two are assigned to the case. Jack Kinkaid, the serial killer, has Kelly in his sights. He has plans to abduct her, but in this case keep her alive, for reasons known only to him. This novel offers other unforgettable characters, including clinical psychologist Dr. Pam Stover, small town attorney Lynn Broadwater, Sheriff John Brown, Red Eagle and elders of the reservation who speak truths about the two cultures that Billy embodies. This gripping story weaves historical events including the massacre at Wounded Knee and the U.S.-Dakota Conflict with a modern-day crime and its subsequent trial. It explores the systems of justice found in multiple cultures, along with Billy’s struggle to reconcile the duality of his heritage. This unique novel will keep the reader thinking long after the final page. Please consider my novel, THE TRIALS OF BILLY TWO BEARS, a crime story and courtroom drama about a man who struggles with the duality of cultures within him. Expert in the skills of Native American tracking, hand-to-hand combat and horse-whispering, Detective Billy “Two Bears” Simpson, half Dakota and half White, wears a gold shield for the St. Paul Police Department. When his partner, the beautiful Kelly Stewart, is kidnapped, Billy uses Native American tracking skills to uncover clues that were overlooked by the investigating officers that lead to the arrest of a suspect. What they do not realize is that the kidnapper has set a plan in motion that if he is caught, he will manipulate the judicial system into setting him free. Then he will be able to re-visit Kelly at will. He will have a living victim to satisfy his desires. The missteps by the prosecution occur as planned, the indictment is dismissed “with prejudice” and the kidnapper is free to go after Kelly as she tries to recover. And there is nothing the White Man’s law can do. Will Billy abide by these unjust laws, as he has sworn to do, or will he protect Kelly? In a vision, “Two Bears” is transported back to December 1890, Wounded Knee Creek South Dakota, where he watches helplessly as the Sioux are massacred by the United States Army. His people slaughtered by his people. Billy seeks guidance in hours spent in the Dakota “sweat lodge” where he listens as Elders tell of simple truths. As Kelly’s torment intensifies, Billy decides to forgo the impotent laws and take matters into his own hands, When a body is found in a burned-out farmhouse, Billy is arrested and put on trial for his life. Attorney Lynn Broadwater, who has ties to the Dakota reservation, is hired to represent Billy. Will Billy pay for the crime of protecting Kelly when the law would not, or will Broadwater find a way to help the jury find justice, but stay within the framework of the law? In researching this novel, I have spent time at the Prairie Island Reservation, interviewing Elders of the Tribe.

This book was released on 2004-02 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these humor-filled stories, the fast-paced, action-packed police procedural genre is translated into a world inhabited exclusively by teddy bears. Inspector Blue Bearolli of the Grunion Beach P.D. Homicide Division and his two detectives, Bernard Bearstein and Billye Bare, combine their considerable talents to solve baffling murders committed by the ruthless and unscrupulous teddy bear criminal element. In The Trial of Emory Board, the inspector unravels the curiously entangled motivations that led to the shooting of a jumper from a high-rise apartment building as he plummeted to his death. Was this a suicide or a murder? In Hit Bear, Billye is befriended by a handsome cowbear who has been hired to eliminate the inspector and very nearly succeeds. In Billye, the beautiful young detective has difficulty maintaining her objectivity as she works on a case that chillingly recalls an episode in her youth when she was accused of murder.
Download or read book Trial of Billy Ranhalt written by Clifford D. Cope and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of Billy Ranhalt, who is struggling with one of the most difficult challenges one can face. He is in defense at a trial within himself as well as in society that came about in the prime of his life. He is being tried for an injury or as some would say illness that can be found in every society throughtout the world. He is guilty before his trial. His offence is almost invisible to himself as well as many others that may suffer from his offence. His injuries are almost invisible to those surrounding him, yet he sees them himself but does not want to see them. Billy Ranhalt tries to overlook the impossible but must face trial. The injury Billy suffered is one that has become more prominent to our society in the past few years with the growing number of war veterans. The character Billy Ranhalt; is a person most people have seen or may see some day within their job, their friends or among family and very well themselves. The intent of this story is to open the eyes and minds of people incurring awareness and respect to those suffering as Billy did from an incurable but not, untreatable suffering. The only cure Billy finds is not what he really wanted, which is carried out by those unwilling or failing to see his injury. The setting takes place in modern day United States, among a typical American family. It has a strong emphasis on a Gulf War veteran, yet similarites found throughout the world in various surrounding. The ending is not a good ending for Billy, his family or friends. However, an ending that foresight and forethought could have been prevented.

Book excerpt: "After her young husband's untimely death, Army veteran Cassie Gale decides to take a few days of solitude in the Alaska wilderness before she starts her new job. But when she fails to show up on her first day and her dog is discovered injured at her wrecked campsite, her father knows that this is much more than a camping trip gone awry. As it turns out, Cassie's not the first person to disappear without a trace in Alaska's northern interior. Bears. Wolves. Avalanches. Frostbite. Starvation. There are many ways to die in here. But not all disappearances can be explained. Cassie's is one of them, along with a number of other outdoor enthusiasts who have vanished in recent years. Regaining consciousness in a Russian prison, Cassie finds herself trapped in a system designed to ensure that no one ever escapes alive. It will require all her grit and skills to survive. Meanwhile, her father rushes to outrun the clock, scouring thousands of acres, only to realize she's been taken by a far more nefarious adversary-one with the power of the Eastern Bloc behind it. Ties to his past life, one full of secrets, threaten to surface. He knows there's a price to be paid, but he's determined it won't be his daughter"--

This book was released on 2023-04-18 with total page 864 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A definitive new volume of the retirement papers of Thomas Jefferson This volume’s 601 documents show Jefferson dealing with various challenges. He is injured in a fall at Monticello, and his arm is still in a sling months later when he narrowly escapes drowning during a solitary horseback ride. Jefferson obtains temporary financial relief by transferring a $20,000 debt from the Bank of the United States to the College of William and Mary. Aided by a review of expenditures by the University of Virginia that uncovers no serious discrepancies, Jefferson and the Board of Visitors obtain a further $60,000 loan that permits construction to begin on the Rotunda. Jefferson drafts but apparently does not send John Adams a revealing letter on religion. He exchanges long letters discussing the Supreme Court with Justice William Johnson, and he writes to friends about France’s 1823 invasion of Spain. Jefferson also helps prepare a list of recommended books for the Albemarle Library Society. In November 1822, Jefferson’s grandson Francis Eppes marries Mary Elizabeth Randolph. He gives the newlyweds his mansion at Poplar Forest and visits it for the last time the following May. In a letter to James Monroe, Jefferson writes and then cancels “my race is near it’s term, and not nearer, I assure you, than I wish.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The astonishing true story of Glasgow gangland confidant James McIntyre, aka Jimmy Two Guns James 'Jimmy Two Guns' McIntyre was Glasgow's go-to gangland lawyer and consigliere to one of Scotland's foremost crime families. His maverick approach to the law and a client list that included some of the most feared gangland figures of the time - including the McGoverns and Paul Ferris - ensured that he was always in demand but under the constant scrutiny of the authorities. Now Jimmy Two Guns recounts the cases he handled, the strokes he pulled, plus his arrests, a high-speed car chase with the drug squad, his time in 'the cooler' for allegedly attempting to murder a cop and much more. He tells how he bounced back after being the target of a near-fatal underworld hit, before being arrested by an armed response unit for possession of two pistols, and reveals with wit and a sharp pen what it's really like being a lawyer for the underdog. Whatever you thought you knew about crime and justice, think again - because for Jimmy Two Guns, the truth has always been stranger than fiction. 'Crooked judges, bent cops and hypocrites in high places - the most truthful legal memoir you'll ever read. Superb.' Matthew Hall, bestselling novelist and BAFTA-winning screenwriter of Keeping Faith 'James McIntyre was a legal barracuda swimming both sides of the line; this memoir is his modus operandi.' G.F. Newman, creator of Law & Order and Judge John Deed

Download or read book Trial by Fire written by P. T. Deutermann and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a true story—P. T. Deutermann's Trial by Fire is a dramatic WWII novel of attack, survival, and triumph on board an aircraft carrier in the Pacific. It's March 1945 and the war in the Pacific is approaching its apocalyptic climax. The largest wartime armada ever assembled, Task Force 58, is closing in on Okinawa; once taken, it will finally put American B-29 bombers in comfortable range of the home islands of Japan—and victory. At the heart of the fleet are 14 Essex-class aircraft carriers, including the USS Franklin, known as "Big Ben"—a 27,000-ton behemoth, home to 3,600 crewmen and 100 aircraft. Just after dawn, while crewmen prepare for battle, a single Japanese Yokosuka D4Y bomber breaks through the clouds and drops a 500-pound semi-armor piercing bomb on Big Ben. The bomb rips through the wooden flight deck before exploding on the hangar deck, amidst two dozen fully fueled and armed fighter-bombers. The resulting explosion engulfs both the hangar deck and all the planes spotted on the flight deck. Bombs cook off and rockets howl in all directions, both on the flight deck and down in the hangar bays. Hundreds of men are forced to leap into the sea to escape the rivers of burning aviation gasoline, leaving the captain with only one third of his crew, of whom there are more dead, wounded and trapped men left onboard than able-bodied sailors. Trial By Fire is the gripping novelization of how, against all odds, the sailors of the Franklin were able to save their ship, after 3 agonizing days of battling the flames that ultimately claimed the lives of 832 men and injured 300 more. Readers will be astounded and humbled by the heroic actions of a few extraordinarily brave sailors in the face of unending catastrophe.
