Prosperity, North Carolina, used to be a red clay farming community populated mostly by the descendents of families that had settled the land over two centuries earlier. Then, developers from a huge city in the next county discovered its rolling hills and winding streams, and decided to turn it into a suburb. Former Atlanta cop and hometown high school football hero Judd Wheeler returned to Prosperity eight years ago to take a position as the Chief of the new Police Department. With one tragic exception, it's been a quiet, uneventful job. Now, the body of a young illegal immigrant Mexican girl has been found alongside the banks of Six Mile Creek. For the first time since his return to Prosperity, Wheeler finds himself with a murder on his hands. His investigation will place him in direct opposition with his closest childhood friend, ratchet up racial and class tensions in a community already stretched to the limit, and nearly tear his quiet little town to pieces as he searches for the murderer of Gypsy Camareno.

Winner of the 1991 Edgar Allan Poe Award for best novel and the FIRST mystery in the highly acclaimed Skip Langdon series, New Orleans Mourning falls deliciously between the psychological suspense of Laura Lippman and the delicate drama of Tennessee Williams.

It's Mardi Gras in New Orleans, and civic leader and socialite Chauncey St. Amant has been crowned Rex, King of Carnival. But his day of glory comes to an abrupt and bloody end when a parade-goer dressed as Dolly Parton guns him down. Is the killer his aimless, promiscuous daughter Marcelle?

Enter resourceful heroine Skip Langdon, a rookie police officer and former debutante turned cynic of the Uptown crowd.

"Smith finds secrets and potential in nearly all corners of New Orleans." -NPR "Julie Smith writes like jazz should sound -- cool, complex, and penetrating right to the heart." -Val McDermid, best-selling author of the Tony Hill series "Her plot careens with as many twists and turns as a car chase through the French Quarter.

The Ministry of the Apostle Paul by James Thomas Lee Jr (1 Review)    Price verified 5 hours ago

When this book was begun in late November 2013, the intent was to write a commentary on chapter five of Paul's letter to the church at Ephesus. But about fifty pages into that endeavor, it became clear that the book was not going in that direction. For one thing, his letter to that church had not even been mentioned in those pages. For another, the focus up to that point had been on Paul's missionary journeys. The reason for those problems was that the original intent had been to put his letter to the church into the context of his journeys. But there was so much to say about the journeys that his letter to the church had taken a back seat. So the title was changed to its current title, and the remaining efforts were applied in that direction. This book is a history of Paul's ministry. Great effort has been expended to try to date when and where Paul had gone. Then, at each stopping point, the more significant events of what had happened to him are shared. Most people would probably not think of him as taking five separate missionary journeys. But that is because the first one and the last one were not as carefully documented as the middle three. In the pages that follow, the reader will be able to clearly see those five journeys, plus his two separate imprisonments in Rome. Most people also have probably never attempted to put his writing of his thirteen letters to the churches and certain individuals into the context of what was going on in his life at the time. But this book has done that and has also dedicated space to trying to report what he was saying in those letters. For example, the person who reads this book will learn what Paul had meant when he wrote in Romans 1:20-32 that God turned certain individuals over to a reprobate mind. He or she will learn what Paul had meant in I Timothy 2:11-15 when he wrote about women being silent in the church. He or she will learn what Paul had meant in I Timothy 3:1-7 concerning men and women being involved in the ...

Lessons Learned from the Godly Kings of Israel by James Thomas Lee Jr (2 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

This text was not written to show how much better the godly kings were than the ungodly kings. It was not written to try to show that God had loved the children of Israel more than the people of all of the other nations. To the contrary, this text was written to show that, in some instances, the godly kings did some things that were just as bad as any of the ungodly kings of Israel. It was written to show that the Lord loved the people who opposed the children of Israel just like He loved the children of Israel. The notion that He had showed special favor to one type of people over another is not scriptural. God has always loved all of the people of His Creation even if He has not always loved everything that they have done. He has also always loved all of the people of His Creation even when they have not loved Him back. So it is hoped that those truths will be evident to those who reads this book. In the pages that follow, four truths will be emphasized. The first is that the Old Testament saints were not continually indwelled by the Holy Spirit in the same way as the New Testament saints. That means that they did not have the same advantages in trying to live for the Lord. The second is that the scriptures do not and were not intended to share exhaustive details about everything and everyone within their historical presentations. That means that they might share a very negative event about a godly king, without trying to offset it with a positive event. The scriptures were written to show the Lord's involvement with humanity and to show people how to find Him. They were not written to say that the godly kings really were godly. The third truth, that will be shared is that all people are sinners. So one should not expect too much from the godly kings of Israel. The fourth truth is that they did not lose their salvation even though some of them did some pretty bad things. So with those few thoughts, it is hoped that the readers of this text will find it ...

The Devil to Pay (Wicked Sons Book 1) by Emma V Leech (571 Reviews)    Price verified 25 minutes ago

From the highly acclaimed , award winning author of the Girls Who Dare and the Daring Daughters, Emma V Leech, comes the exciting new series about the sons of the Girls Who Dare, Wicked Sons. Their mothers dared all for love... Their sisters did the same. What will the sons do for the women they love... A Wicked Son... Tall, dark and handsome, ridiculously wealthy, and the heir to a title. With so many blessings in his life, for this Wicked Son there is very little point in being anything more than ornamental. Or at least... that is what everyone believes, but this man has a secret. For a man in his position, if anyone discovered he is the mysterious author of The Ghosts of Castle Madruzzo, it would make him a figure of ridicule. His first novel was a tremendous success, and though his sales are excellent, he is aware he has never quite recaptured the dynamism of that first book. His readers don't seem to care and clamour for more, yet a certain lady critic keeps plaguing him with bad reviews. Somehow, she has guessed he is a nobleman, and delights in finding fault with his less elevated characters. A little time undercover should do the trick, to prove to himself, and the lady, that he is nothing if not committed to his art. A lady to be reckoned with... As the eldest-and only sensible sibling-in an overburdened family, Selina Davenport is holding onto sanity by a thread. The absolute last thing she needs is the presence in her life of an over privileged nob pretending to be something he's not. Like she can't tell at a glance that he is not the lowly gardener he is purporting to be. The nincompoop. That's not to say she isn't prepared to have a little fun at his expense. A game that gets out of hand... But when an immovable object meets an irresistible challenge, sparks are bound to fly, but will they burn down everything around them? This is the first book in the new series, Wicked Sons.

Spartacus: The Myth and the Man by M. J. Trow (19 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

This is a revised version of M. J. Trow's classic biography of an ancient and unforgettable hero. 'I am Spartacus' ranks among the most famous lines in Hollywood, with its image of the man's comrades prepared to die in his place in the Kirk Douglas film. And die they did; not the actors but the real army of Spartacus, crucified in their thousands along the Appian Way that leads to Rome. Spartacus: The Myth and the Man is a revised version of M. J. Trow's original biography, the first to be written in English, of a legend who has become all things to all men. He has been the focus of a ballet and an opera. Karl Marx called him 'the finest fellow in ancient history' and a communist group in 1920s Germany tried to topple the Weimar government in his name. The humble slave from Thrace (today's Bulgaria) became a gladiator, led a revolt and took on the greatest military system in history - Rome. The Romans were understandably anxious to erase him from history, so key facts about the man are hard to come by. What we do know is that he fought not one, but six Roman armies and beat them all before his final defeat. Thoroughly researched and impressive in its breadth, Spartacus: The Myth and the Man will please readers with an interest in ancient history. Praise for Spartacus: The Myth and the Man: 'Puts the fascinating story of Spartacus and his rebellion into its historical context in great detail. I really enjoyed it' - Amazon review 'If you're interested in Ancient Rome, or really enjoyed the Kirk Douglas epic, this book is fascinating. It highlights how the Spartacus story has been used and misused down the centuries and attempts to put flesh on the bones of the story' - Amazon review M. J. Trowis a historian, biographer and crime novelist. His books include the well-known Lestrade and Maxwell series as well as non-fiction such as Who Killed Kit Marlowe? and Vlad the Impaler. Originally from Wales, he now lives on the Isle of Wight.

True Blue Tucker by Campbell Jefferys (7 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Two men go in search of the real Australia, and find it in a bar in Munich. But what will they do with it now they've found it? Australia. What comes to mind when you see or hear this word? Guys in khaki shorts jumping into crocodile infested waters. Long, white sand beaches. Shrimps on barbecues. Athletes and actors. "Really? Mel Gibson is Australian?" Surfer boys and pin-up girls. Cuddly koalas that aren't really bears. Come on. There has to be more to Australia than that. There is. Much more. True Blue Tucker is the story of Darius and Humphrey, two friends who go looking for the real Australia, a journey that takes them to Australia's north-west, Canada's ski hills, London's damp streets and Munich's bars. Along the way, they learn about themselves, about their country and about what the world thinks of Australians. Ambitiously and misguidedly, they set about changing the stereotype, by opening an Aussie bar in Munich that tells the real history of Australia. It's out with the inflatable crocodiles and in with information about stolen Aboriginal children; out with Paul Hogan and in with Pauline Hanson. And there's convict stew on the menu, and not kangaroo burgers. No other work of fiction tackles the topic of Australian identity, history and society quite like True Blue Tucker. What does it mean to be Australian? Read this book to find out.

Jordan I hated my scars. They were a symbol of everything that was wrong in my life. Everything changed when I met psychic Molly Welch. She claimed that I could have a do-over. I would get to change the story of my life. I didn't believe her at first, but then I found myself in downtown Omaha of 1958. Now that I was here, I was going to take it all back. I was going to find and end the man who destroyed my life before he had the chance to do it. I had no idea what was just around the corner. Molly said that once I'd fixed everything, my journey in the past would end and it would hurt. I didn't believe that either. I should have. James When I wasn't working, I was at the gym. No matter how big I bulked up, I couldn't shake the nagging feeling that it wasn't enough. I was damaged.

Commentary on Romans by Thomas Bear (2 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

On the cover of this book is a picture of the ancient Roman Colosseum that still stands today. In its early years, many Christians were killed in the Colosseum while thousands of Roman citizens watched from the stands. Most likely, some of these Christian martyrs had heard the book of Romans being read to them years before they laid down their lives for Jesus. Paul wrote the book of Romans to help establish them in the faith and to prepare them for the day of their death. He warned them that unless they held fast their confession firm to the end, they would not inherit eternal life. Their willingness to die for Jesus in the Colosseum proved that their faith was genuine. Jesus and His Apostles taught that to inherit heaven, a person must be willing to lose his life for Jesus. The Christians to whom Paul wrote were serious. They knew that if they confessed and continued to confess their allegiance to Jesus, it could cost them their lives. Paul's letter helped them to count the cost and to learn gospel truth that could propel them to their ultimate goal of eternal life with Jesus. In the twenty-first century, many Christians assume that as long as they keep going to church and continue to hold tightly to the Apostle's creed, they will inherit heaven. They lack the sense of urgency and seriousness that can prepare them for intense persecution. The book of Romans can reignite their faith if it is properly understood. This commentary was written to show what it means to live by faith with a greater sense of urgency, just as Jesus and His Apostles intended.

Carnivore Connoisseur: Discover the Science, Ethics and Culture Behind the Carnivorous Diet Beyond Steak (Raw and Unfiltered) by Camilo Cesarino Price verified 25 minutes ago

Welcome to the jungle If you are here, it is because you have heard the call of the flesh, the fat, and the fire. And no, we're not talking about one more diet to fill your Instagram feed with photos of wilted salads or bland smoothies. We're talking about something deeper, more visceral. We're talking about paying tribute to the meat gods, exploring the art and science of the carnivorous diet, and diving into a lifestyle that goes beyond steak. Whether you're a meat lover, a gourmet looking for bold flavors, or just curious to understand what the hell this diet is, you've come to the right place. This book is your guide, your map, and your instruction manual for an epic culinary journey. Let's explore the science, ethics, and culture behind the carnivorous diet, but don't expect a boring lecture. Here we are going to tell you things as they are, without added sugar (because sugar is poison, remember?). Let's talk about how this diet can transform your health, how you can enjoy food like never before, and how you can navigate a world full of myths and misunderstandings about meat consumption. Good food, good eating, is a matter of blood, viscera, and decomposition. It's the sodium curdled pork fat, the stinky triple cream cheeses, the tender gizzards, and the distended livers of young animals. Eating meat is risking the dark, bacterial forces of beef, chicken, cheese, or seafood. The first two hundred and seven Wellfleet clams may put you into a state of ecstasy, but the two hundred and eight may send you to bed with sweats, chills, and vomiting. But, oh, the glory in that risk! Gastronomy is the science of pain, and carnivores are its most devoted followers. Being a carnivorous connoisseur isn't just about eating meat. It's understanding the meat. It's knowing where it comes from, how it's cooked, what flavors it can offer, and how it can transform your health. It's knowing the science behind the diet, but it's also appreciating the ethics and sustainability of ...

The Label Maker by MacKenzie Stilton (4 Reviews)    Price verified 9 hours ago

Surrounded by people, constantly connected and instantly gratified, yet lost, unsatisfied and alone. Like so many people around him, Joe Solitus is drifting through life, a phone in his hand and a laptop under his arm. A pharmaceuticals salesman in Montreal, he's a normal guy in his late 20s living in the digital age. He works, dates, meets friends, swims, goes to yoga class, talks to his cat and surfs the internet. But a lot of what he does is time-wasting, a filling of a void. There is no search for higher meaning, to find his place in the world, or to come to terms with grief and loss. He's caught up in what he's doing and so is everyone else. There's no time to question anything. With the help of some real-world friends, Joe manages to get outside his comfort zone, first at a tech-free resort, then by going on a digital diet, and finally by starting a movement that goes viral online: Simplicity. He wants to reduce his dependence on technology and get control of his life. But he's not the only one who wants this. What starts as an underground movement quickly goes mainstream. The simplicity truisms, lifted from the statements Joe's father used to make, become the gospel for a disenchanted generation desperate for guidance and definition. Joe's quest to focus on what's important and get control of his life leads him to face truths he had always avoided and to become the person he never wanted to be. Is Joe Solitus the spokesman for the digital generation? Is simplicity the answer?
