Book Description
Missing maids, suspicious teachers and a snow storm to die for... For a fearless girl called Justice Jones, super-smart super-sleuth, it's just the start of a spine-tingling first term at Highbury House Boarding School for the Daughters of Gentlefolk. For fans of Robin Stevens, Katherine Woodfine and Enid Blyton. When Justice's mother dies, her father packs her off to Highbury House Boarding School for the Daughters of Gentlefolk. He's a barrister - specialising in murder trials - and he's just too busy to look after her alone. Having previously been home-schooled, the transition is a shock. Can it really be the case that blondes rule the corridors? Are all uniforms such a charming shade of brown? And do schools normally hide dangerous secrets about the murder of a chamber maid? Justice takes it upon herself to uncover the truth. (Mainly about the murder, but perhaps she can figure out her new nemesis - the angelic Rose - at the same time.) But when a storm cuts the school off from the real world, the body count starts to rise and Justice realises she'll need help from her new friends if she's going to find the killer before it's too late ...

"I Am a Man"
Author: Joe Starita
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1429953306
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
The harrowing story of a Native American man’s tragic loss of land and family, and his heroic journey to reclaim his humanity. In 1877, Chief Standing Bear’s Ponca Indian tribe was forcibly removed from their Nebraska homeland and marched to what was then known as Indian Territory (now Oklahoma), in what became the tribe’s own Trail of Tears. A third of the tribe died on the grueling march, including Standing Bear’s only son. “I Am a Man” chronicles what happened when Standing Bear set off on a six-hundred-mile walk to return the body of his son’s body to the Ponca’s traditional burial ground. It chronicles his efforts to reclaim his land and rights, culminating in his successful use of habeas corpus to gain access to the courts and secure his freedoms. This is a story of survival that explores fundamental issues of citizenship, constitutional protection, and the nature of democracy. Joe Starita’s well-researched and insightful account bring this vital piece of American history brilliantly to life.

From the bestselling author of Earnest and An Unexpected Grace comes a novel about a woman, a dog, and the hope and love that can emerge from tragedy . . .

But as she finds kind allies in her Puget Sound island community, the road back becomes a journey of healing for both Andie and her canine companion. And Andie learns important lessons about justice—and about Justice—as she struggles to find the courage to forgive herself and reclaim the gift of her life . . . Praise for the novels of Kristin von Kreisler “Kristin von Kreisler deftly spins a tale of human failings and canine devotion.” —Susan Wilson “In this terrific and uplifting novel, von Kreisler shows how the love between a dog and a person can prove transformative.” —Modern Dog Magazine

Called to Justice
Author: Warren K. Urbom
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 0803244576
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 383
Book Description
Early in his judicial career, U.S. District Judge Warren K. Urbom was assigned a yearlong string of criminal trials arising from a seventy-one-day armed standoff between the American Indian Movement and federal law enforcement at Wounded Knee, South Dakota. In Called to Justice Urbom provides the first behind-the-scenes look at what quickly became one of the most significant series of federal trials of the twentieth century. Yet Wounded Knee was only one set of monumental cases Urbom presided over during his years on the bench, a set that in turn forms but one chapter in a remarkable life story. Urbom’s memoir begins on a small farm in Nebraska during the dustbowl 1930s. From making it through the Great Depression and drought to serving in World War II, working summers for his father’s dirt-moving business, and going to school on the G.I. Bill, Urbom’s experiences constitute a classic American story of making the most of opportunity, inspiration, and a little luck. Urbom gives a candid account of his time as a trial lawyer and his early plans to become a minister—and of the effect both had on his judicial career. His story offers a rare inside view of what it means to be a federal judge—the nuts and bolts of conducting trials, weighing evidence, and making decisions—but also considers the questions of law and morality, all within the framework of a life well lived and richly recounted.

In a world that's blacker than a demon's soul, only darkness can drive out darkness... Name's Ethan Drake: cop, vigilante, and bearer of more darkness than any single soul should possess. My partner's a demon, which ain't exactly the easiest thing to work with, if you know what I mean. But beggars can't be choosers, and when you're knee-deep in occult cases, you take what you can get. And we just caught a whiff of something rotten - real rotten. Seems some creepazoid's snatching bodies to bring forth something so nasty, it could make Satan himself retch. Not like I care about humanity's fate, but somebody's gotta stop this thing, right? Of course, it doesn't help that a demon has decided it wants to ride shotgun in my body, while the brass is breathing down my neck over some punk who deserved what he got. Oh, and I'm trying to solve the murders of my ex-wife and kid, too. And did I mention the Hellicorn with the sassiest mouth this side of Hell? Let's just say, that thing threatening humanity's future? I might just give it a helping hand... If Harry Bosch and John Constantine had a love child, it'd be this pulse-pounding, urban fantasy noir. Immerse yourself in a world of noir-ish mystery, urban fantasy, and action with the first book in the ETHAN DRAKE SERIES. Don't miss out on the thrills - get your copy now!
