Book excerpt: A CrimeReads "Best Noir Novel of 2021" "A sucker punch noir that is also a powerful and haunting allegory of work, debt, and power." —Richard Price "An unreliable narrator makes this thriller all the more gripping." — WBUR A down and dirty gem of a tale—a twisty and twisted crime novel that evokes the worlds of George V. Higgins, Patricia Highsmith, and David Mamet, destined to be a Neo-noir classic. Rick and Frank are recovering addicts and accomplished house thieves. They do not steal randomly - - they steal according to order, hired by a mysterious handler. The jobs run routinely until they’re tasked with taking a seemingly worthless trophy: an object that generates interest and obsession out of proportion to its apparent value. Just as the robbery is completed, the two are involved in a freak car accident that sets off a chain of events and Frank disappears with the trophy. As Rick tries to find Frank, he is forced to confront his past, upending both his livelihood and his sense of reality. The narrative builds steadily into a powerful and shocking climax. Reveling in its con-artistry and double-crosses, Just Thieves is a nail-biting, noirish exploration of the working lives of two unforgettable crooks and the hidden forces that rule and ruin their lives.

Download or read book Cold Case Christianity written by J. Warner Wallace and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Young World Drawn to the Gun is about America’s youngest problem: young people engaging in gun violence. America is losing its future as our children are losing their lives on the streets, in our homes, and in schools across America. America has an obligation to protect the lives of all its citizens, including our children, teens, and young adults. Young America is vastly becoming the perpetrators, the victims, and the suspects in gun-violence cases and are in a sense killing one another over issues that could easily be resolved without the use of a gun. There are certain trigger mechanisms that can spark gun violence, and unfortunately, young America finds itself trying to solve its issues and perceived problems with the use of guns. Guns don’t solve problems; they only make the problems worse. A Young World Drawn to the Gun gives an in-depth look at how and why young people are being drawn to guns and how and why gun violence is progressing in this country. This book also gives direct insight as to the consequences of committing gun violence and offers resolutions to help keep our young people from continuing to become the victims and/or suspects of gun violence. This book can be used to teach and educate our children in our homes, in our schools, and even in juvenile detention centers and jails all across America. America may not be able to totally eliminate gun violence, but as a nation working together, we can help to drastically reduce it. Together we can help save the lives and futures of our children, and this book can help us to do just that.
