Book Description
They are old, cranky, and dangerous. Midlife witch Missy Mindle is also a home-health nurse for vampires. You see, not all vampires are young, sexy urbanites. What happens if you were a senior citizen when you’re turned? You move to Florida, of course, to an oceanfront condo tower in Jellyfish Beach. There’s even a bloodmobile that shows up each night like a food truck. But a disturbed ex-con hijacks the bloodmobile, leaving a community of vampires who aren’t just hungry, but freaking hangry. Missy’s magick is the only way to find the bloodmobile before the residents starve or feast upon their unsuspecting human neighbors. This novella is your ticket into the Freaky Florida humorous paranormal mystery series. It includes four sample chapters from Snowbirds of Prey, Book 1 of Freaky Florida.

Crime
Author: John Muncie
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134733623
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Crime: Local and Global and its sister text Criminal Justice: Local and Global are two new teaching texts that aim to equip the reader with a critical understanding of the globally contested nature of 'crime' and 'justice'. Through an examination of key concepts and criminological approaches, the books illuminate the different ways in which crime is constructed, conceived and controlled. International case studies are used to demonstrate how 'crime' and 'justice' are historically and geographically located in terms of the global/local context, and how processes of criminalisation and punishment are mediated in contemporary societies. Crime: Local and Global covers the way local events (such as prostitution) have wider aspects than previously thought. Links with people traffickers, international organised crime and violence cannot be ignored any longer. Each crime or area of activity selected within this text has a global reach, and is made ever more possible due to the way globalisation has opened up markets, both legitimate and illegitimate. The book's approach and scope emphasises that we can no longer view 'crime' as something which occurs within certain jurisdictions, at certain times and in particular places. For example, the chapter on cybercrime highlights the 'illegal' acts that can be perpetrated by second lifers, anywhere in the world, but are they a crime?

Book Description
In this riveting domestic suspense debut, a woman's life shatters when she meets a girl she believes is the daughter she lost years ago--and she finds that reclaiming the life she lost might cost her the life she has. Tell Me You're Mine is a story of guilt, grief, and the delicate balance between love and obsession. Where is the line between hope and madness? Three women: one who believes she has found her long lost daughter, one terrified she's about to lose her child, and one determined to understand who she truly is. Stella Widstrand is a psychotherapist, a happily married mother to a thirteen-year-old son. But when a young woman named Isabelle steps into her clinic to begin therapy, Stella's placid life begins to crumble. She is convinced that Isabelle is her daughter, Alice. The baby that tragically disappeared more than twenty years ago on a beach during a family vacation. Alice is believed to have drowned, but her body was never found. Stella has always believed that Alice is alive, somewhere--but everyone around her worries she's delusional. Could this be Alice? Stella will risk everything to answer that question, but in doing so she will set in motion a sequence of events beyond her control, endangering herself and everyone she loves.
