CALIFORNIA RETRIAL by Pete Palamountain (345 Reviews)    Price verified 16 minutes ago

86,211 wds. ARC comments: "Terrific legal thriller... characters alive and real. Felt like I knew each one of them personally." "Great courtroom story. I was anxious to solve the mystery and get answers, but sad to leave Dr. Rice and his friends and enemies. Exciting from start to finish." Dr. Michael Rice, a sports medicine surgeon, is convicted of the brutal murder of a teenage girl, the daughter of his clinic partner. After spending ten years in prison in Tehachapi, California, he receives word he's been granted a new trial; and to his astonishment, he's been given bail and temporary freedom as well. His hometown reacts with hatred and violence at his release, and he realizes he might not survive until his trial date, since local authorities seem more concerned with protecting the community from him than with attempts on his life. He's desperate to use his time to prove he's not a killer, but he's blocked at every turn by those with hidden motives and agendas. His wife Karen believes fiercely in his innocence, but she is hospitalized and unable to assist in his effort to uncover new evidence; and since the rest of his family is certain of his guilt, and his lawyer is useless, he has resigned himself to operating alone. But to his shock, he's joined by two unlikely allies who are as determined as he is to keep him out of prison and to solve the mystery of what really happened ten years ago. The team comes up with some startling revelations, but Michael is not convinced he can use the new information in court; and as the trial date approaches, he senses his freedom will soon be taken from him and he'll be back behind bars in Tehachapi. At trial, the drama in the courtroom unveils a variety of surprises, both for the prosecution and the defense; and by the time the jury retires, no one is certain of the outcome. "Boy, did I like this one. What a fine suspense thriller... learned so much about the California legal system."

Fit With Healthy Fascia: How to reduce your pain and improve your well-being in just 7 minutes a day by Keven England (5 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

You also belong to the group of those who are plagued by pain more or less frequently? Headaches, back pain, pain in the shoulder, arm, hip or knee joints? Perhaps you have recently had surgery because the pain in your hip or knee joint has become too much, and you would like to regain your old mobility. Perhaps you don't have any of these enumerated pains (yet), but you are very interested in your own health and would like to take preventive measures to ensure that such problems do not arise in the first place. One possible cause for the listed pains is our sedentary leisure and work behavior. Many of us sit from morning to night either in the car, on the office chair or on the couch in front of the television. Various jobs can be quite movement-intensive, for example waitresses or assembly line workers, but these activities often lead to one-sided stress and muscular imbalances. This is also true if you play certain sports (e.g. tennis, golf) very intensively. We all know that more and targeted exercise can help restore and sustain our health and well-being. But in many cases, we are too sluggish to put into practice our good intention to start an exercise program and follow it for longer. The "inner pig" sends his greetings and often excuses our passivity with the pain or with the fact that there is no time for additional exercise. Another saying is: "I would like to do something, but I don't know what". The book aims to help readers get a handle on these problems. The book is structured so that you can start immediately. Simply open the chapter "Your 10 Fascia Programs" and follow the instructions to perform a 7-minute basic program. You will immediately feel how the exercises have a positive effect on your condition. Further programs specifically address everyday demands (e.g. sitting for long periods of time) or certain areas of pain (e.g. lower back). The following was particularly important for the compilation of the programs: simple exercises that can ...
