Book excerpt: Cody McCall woke up in a hospital with no immediate memory of how he got there. He did remember being on vacation in Florida and getting epically drunk, but after that things were pretty much a blur. When he realizes on suicide watch and that Jake Rogers, his best friend and his partner on the police force back home, is sitting by his bedside, things become even more confusing. And then it all comes back to him—how he’d had too much to drink and decided to try something he’d seen on the internet involving ropes. A passing maid saved his life, but now he’s strapped to a bed and his best friend is more angry with him than he’s ever been. Jake manages to get Cody sprung from the hospital, but Cody’s not out of the woods, by any means. Jake has something planned for Cody that will not only keep him safe, but also keep him firmly under Jake’s control.

Download or read book Contracts written by Phoenix Maverick and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2022-12-28 with total page 902 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contracts By: Phoenix Maverick No longer a Master Chief Navy Seal, Alex Jenson is approached by a man named Xavier who offers Alex the opportunity to make money working as a mercenary with five contracts needing fulfillment. These five contracts require Alex to assassinate several individuals who have wronged Xavier and his employer, Mr. X, in some manner. With his girlfriend, Alicia, at his side, he accepts the offer and the two begin their work with Xavier. Alex and Alicia soon realize what the contracts are truly intended to accomplish, causing the pair to rethink their actions when it is revealed that Alex’s former fiancé is added into the mix. With only the knowledge of a single contract at any one time, Alex is forced into making a difficult decision: does Xavier find out that he knows about his former fiancé and break the contracts, or does he continue to work with Xavier and give him the impression that he knows not about her? Inspired by true events, including dreams, that occurred in his life, Phoenix Maverick has carefully taken an interesting approach and placed those events (with changed names, of course) within the world of Contracts to create an intriguing and powerful backstory-heavy driven work.
Download or read book The Wrong Man written by Dick Kirby and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2016-02-03 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Ralph Martin was a cross-dressing criminal who carried out a string of sophisticated offences in the 1970s and '80s. A prolific burglar, car thief, fraudster and gunman, he possessed a deep loathing of anyone in authority. In addition, he was a master of disguise and a veritable Houdini when it came to escaping from prison. After shooting a policeman during a botched burglary, he escaped from court on Christmas Eve, 1982. When police believed him to be in a yellow Mini in the Earls Court area with his girlfriend, they opened fire, only to discover they had shot an entirely innocent man – a 26-year-old film editor named Steven Waldorf. The investigation became a cause célèbre at the time, and was subsequently taken over by Scotland Yard's Flying Squad, of which the author was a member. One of the biggest manhunts in the history of the Metropolitan Police ensued, before Martin was finally arrested after dramatically fleeing down the tracks between two Underground stations. Author Dick Kirby reveals for the first time the inside story of the hunt for 'the most dangerous man in London', whose eventual arrest brought to an end one of the most contentious investigations in Met history.

Felipe Perrone, Department of Computer Science, Bucknell University Whether you're a security practitioner, developer, manager, or administrator, this book will give you the deep understanding necessary to meet today's security challenges--and anticipate tomorrow's.

After quickly reviewing the history of computer security, the authors move on to discuss the modern landscape, showing how security challenges and responses have evolved, and offering a coherent framework for understanding today's systems and vulnerabilities. Next, they systematically introduce the basic building blocks for securing contemporary systems, apply those building blocks to today's applications, and consider important emerging trends such as hardware-based security.

Download or read book The Last Four Things written by Paul Hoffman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-08-04 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The epic story of Thomas Cale—introduced so memorably in The Left Hand of God—continues as the Redeemers use his prodigious gifts to further their sacred goal: the extinction of humankind and the end of the world... To the warrior-monks known as the Redeemers, “the last four things” represent the culmination of a faithful life. Death. Judgment. Heaven. Hell. The last four things represent eternal bliss—or endless destruction, permanent chaos, and infinite pain. Perhaps nowhere are the competing ideas of heaven and hell exhibited more clearly than in the dark and tormented soul of Thomas Cale. Betrayed by the girl he loves but still marked by a child’s innocence, possessed of a remarkable aptitude for violence but capable of extreme tenderness, Cale will lead the Redeemers into a battle for nothing less than the fate of the human race. And though his broken heart foretells the bloody trail he will leave in pursuit of a personal peace he can never achieve, a glimmer of hope remains—the question even Cale can’t answer: When it comes time to decide the fate of the world, to ensure the extermination of humankind or spare it, what will he choose? To express God’s will on the edge of his sword, or to forgive his fellow man—and himself?
