Book Description
He’s a cop trying to stop a serial bomber. And she’ll stop at nothing to clear her own name. When a deadly bomb goes off during a climate change debate, librarian and event coordinator Jackie Santoro becomes the prime suspect. Her motive, according to Detective Avery Wick: to avenge the suicide of her prominent father, who was accused of crimes by a city councilman attending the event. Though Avery has doubts about Jackie’s guilt, he can’t exonerate her even after an extremist group takes responsibility for the bombing and continues to attack San Antonio’s treasured public spaces. As Jackie tries to hold her shattered family together, she has no choice but to proceed with plans for the Caterina Ball, the library system’s biggest annual fundraiser. But she also fears the event provides the perfect opportunity for the bomber to strike again.

Book Description
A New York State investigator matches wits with a devious serial killer in the New York Times bestselling author’s true crime thriller. Gary C. Evans was master of disguise and career criminal who had once befriended David "Son of Sam" Berkowitz. In 1989, he started weaving a web of deadly lies in Upstate New York, telling a female friend that the father of her child had deserted her. In fact, Evans had killed the man—just before striking up a ten-year romance with the woman. Evans first met Investigator James Horton in 1985 when Evans snitched on a childhood friend and crime partner—failing to mention that he'd murdered him. Then, two local jewelry dealers were killed. In 1997, another old friend of Evans, went missing. Was Evans responsible? Horton launched a nationwide manhunt to uncover the truth. For more than a decade, Evans and Horton maintained an odd relationship—part friendship, part manipulation—with Evans serving as a snitch while the tenacious investigator searched for the answers that would put him away. After Horton used Evans to obtain a confession from a local killer, Evans led Horton in a final game of cat-and-mouse that would culminate in the most shocking death of all . . .

Book Description
We've long known that changing mental or emotional focus can help change physical state. Think of doctors prescribing stress management to patients at risk for heart attack, or consider athletes who visualize performances in order to make it happen. It's mind over matter, and it's something we readily accept. Less well explored is the fact that the bodymind link is reciprocal: Change your physical state, and you can change your mental or emotional focus. Change the way you move in deliberate, carefully prescribed ways--repattern your body--and you can repattern your mind, emotions, and spirit in ways that let you live the life you know you can live, the life you've always wanted to live. Every Move You Make gives readers the practical tools for making these changes. Each chapter addresses a different aspect of life that may need modification: self-image, relationships, sexuality, career, creativity, stress, and anxieties and compulsions. The chapter then presents the author's proprietary four-action process for repatterning body movements to "fix" the problem. The process includes a specific sequence of movement exercises--based on Taiji, Qigong, and Shintaido and illustrated in photographs--plus complementary practices for intention, visualization, and vocal affirmation.
