And for young Jeb Sweeny, who is about to cross over into the forbidden land of Fear County and the lair of the unknown, passage through the gates of Hell comes with a terrible price.

Adrenaline surged hot though his veins knowing the hunt would soon begin. A town is ripped apart after the gruesome discovery of a young woman’s body. Jennifer Wesson was an avid runner in her prime, taken down by a cold-blooded killer. After careful inspection, it is surmised that the killer is not human but instead animal. But contradictory evidence suggests something else—something of which urban myths are made… Suspicion is immediately drawn to Dexter, an awkward kid who just so happened to have a crush on her. After all, he was the last one seen with her. But after Dexter is cleared, only more questions surface. Four more victims later and still no answers. Could this be the work of a sadistic killer? Or something of which nightmares are made? And, more importantly, will they find the killer before this unknown beast kills again?

America's Congress
Author: David R. Mayhew
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 9780300093353
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
To understand American politics and government, we need to recognize not only that members of Congress are agents of societal interests and preferences but also that they act with a certain degree of autonomy and consequence in the country's public sphere. In this illuminating book, a distinguished political scientist examines actions performed by members of Congress throughout American history, assessing their patterns and importance and their role in the American system of separation of powers. David R. Mayhew examines standard history books on the United States and identifies more than two thousand actions by individual members of the House and Senate that are significant enough to be mentioned. Mayhew offers insights into a wide range of matters, from the nature of congressional opposition to presidents and the surprising frequency of foreign policy actions to the timing of notable activity within congressional careers (and the way that congressional term limits might affect these performances). His book sheds new light on the contributions to U.S. history made by members of Congress.

Book Description
The latest novel in the fast-paced romantic suspense series from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Zanetti is a perfect blend of sexy chemistry and Deep Ops intrigue, exploding “with action, spice and humor,” (Publishers Weekly). Will appeal to fans of J. D. Robb and Karen Robards. “Zanetti is a master of romantic suspense.” —Kirkus Reviews Enigmatic. With a wildly gifted mind, and an untamed head of hair to match, petite powerhouse Millicent Frost is brilliant when it comes to gadgets and electronics—less so with people. After an attempt to bust a bank scam goes awry, Millie is in hot water with Homeland Security and targeted by lethal enemies. In the midst of the trouble, she heads home to help out with the family hunting and fishing business. But when their rival competitor and Millie’s ex is murdered, she’s the number one suspect . . . Irresistible. Former Marine turned lawyer Scott Terentson devotes himself to getting his clients out of tricky binds. A loner, the last thing he wants is to belong to any team, yet the Deep Ops group considers him one of their own—and he pays the price by getting shot at by their enemies. Now Millie is seeking his help—just as he’s dealing with a brutal fail regarding a recent trial. Both are a headache, yet he’s drawn to Millie in spite of himself. They’re opposites, but maybe the old adage is true . . . Electric. Working together, Millie and Scott soon have more on their hands than they bargained for as the danger escalates—along with the sizzling heat between them. And when a disappearance is thrown into the mix, all bets are off . . .
