Book Description
Gifted psychic Norrie Benedict knows she must stop a serial killer wreaking havoc in Rocklynne, Oregon. Dubbed “The Preacher”, he says he kills in the name of Satan yet considers himself the Son of God. Norrie considers him just plain mad. She knows he’s a threat to the women of the night in her city and vows to stop him but no matter what they do, he is always one step ahead of the police. She accepts the invitation of Lt. Dylan Jones and Det. Brandon Hawke to assist in capturing this murdering maniac. She uses her psychic edge to read murder scenes for the police and attempts to make contact with the killer. She wants to stop him, or figure out who he is, before he kills again. Her psychic abilities help her make contact, but she can’t see the man in any of her mental connections. Is that due to her medical condition? She lost her sight in a car accident but gained the ability to connect to people’s minds through touch. What Norrie finds odd is the murderer seems to know he must never show his face when she makes contact. Is he someone she knows? She doesn’t learn nearly enough before she realizes she will be his next victim. Occasional swear words where appropriate, no full-out sex scenes – just Norrie’s daydreams. And no satanic blatherings by a tetched writer. Some gruesome descriptions, but not over-done. BLIND JUSTICE was an RWA Golden Heart finalist in 2003 and 2004 Previously published as Blind Justice in 2004 and as A Man of the Cloth in 2019. This book has been extensively revised to bring it into the present.

Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER For a generation, Anne Perry’s New York Times bestselling novels have invited readers to explore the brilliantly seductive heart of Victorian London, where great wealth and great evil live side by side, and great men sometimes make unfortunate choices. In Blind Justice, Hester Monk, the wife of William Monk, commander of the Thames River Police, questions the finances of a London church whose members’ hard-earned charitable gifts appear to have ended up in the pocket of charismatic preacher Abel Taft, paying for his fine home and the stylish outfits of his wife and daughters. Taft is accused of extortion, and brilliant barrister Oliver Rathbone, newly appointed a judge, is chosen to preside over his trial. It seems clear that Taft is indeed guilty. However, at the last second, the defense produces a witness who completely undermines the charges. Then Rathbone makes a well-meaning but reckless move that could ruin his career, his reputation, and his life. Blind Justice presents a rich and lively panorama of London life, from the teeming Thames docks to the wealthy West End, while unfolding a magnificent courtroom drama. And while justice, law, and morality hang in the balance, Hester and Monk race to save their distinguished friend Rathbone from disgrace. The incomparable art of Anne Perry grips us fast until the final, unforgettable scene. BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Anne Perry's Blood on the Water. Praise for Blind Justice “A staggering achievement . . . Perry’s command of plot and prose shines.”—Bookreporter “Ranks among the best [Anne] Perry has written. Her courtroom scenes have the realism of Scott Turow.”—Huntington News “Gripping . . . Those who love Victorian England will relish Ms. Perry’s presentation of period details. Her mastery of this time and place gives credence to the characters’ moral and legal struggles.”—New York Journal of Books Praise for Anne Perry and her Wiliam Monk novels A Sunless Sea “Anne Perry’s Victorian mysteries are marvels.”—The New York Times Book Review Acceptable Loss “Masterful storytelling and moving dialogue.”—The Star-Ledger Execution Dock “[An] engrossing page-turner . . . There’s no one better at using words to paint a scene and then fill it with sounds and smells than Anne Perry.”—The Boston Globe Dark Assassin “Brilliant . . . a page-turning thriller . . . blending compelling plotting with superbly realized human emotion and exquisite period detail.”—Jeffery Deaver, author of Edge The Shifting Tide “The mysterious and dangerous waterfront world of London’s ‘longest street,’ the Thames, comes to life.”—South Florida Sun-Sentinel

Book Description
From “a first-rate storyteller”: An ex-corporate lawyer in Oklahoma starts a new career defending the innocent (Tulsa World). Ben Kincaid is too honest for corporate law. When his refusal to compromise his ideals gets him tossed out of Tulsa’s largest, most corrupt firm, he hangs out his shingle on the rough side of town. He works for peanuts—and occasionally chickens—but is safe in the knowledge that he is helping people who have nowhere else to turn. His newest client is also one of his oldest friends: Christina McCall, a onetime colleague in the world of corporate law. Christina is beautiful, daringly dressed, and on trial for a murder she didn’t commit. The last thing Christina remembers is the smell of her mother’s perfume. When she comes out of her stupor, her client is dead, the gun is in her hand, and the police are cuffing her wrists. Proving her innocence may be an impossible, but the impossible is becoming Kincaid’s specialty.

Book Description
"Миддлмарч: Изучение жизни в провинции" – это роман английской писательницы Джордж Элиот (псевдоним Мэри Энн Эванс), впервые опубликованный в 1871-1872 годах. Это одно из самых значимых произведений викторианской литературы, отличающееся широтой охвата и глубиной психологического анализа.Действие романа разворачивается в вымышленном английском городе Миддлмарч в начале 1830-х годов, на фоне социальных и политических перемен, вызванных реформами и индустриализацией. В центре повествования – несколько сюжетных линий, переплетающихся вокруг жизни различных персонажей, среди которых выделяются Доротея Брук и Тертлиус Лидгейт.Доротея – молодая, идеалистически настроенная женщина, которая стремится к духовному и интеллектуальному развитию, но оказывается связана браком с педантичным и жестоким ученым Касобоном. Тертлиус Лидгейт – амбициозный врач, стремящийся внести вклад в медицину, но сталкивающийся с трудностями из-за своего неудачного брака и финансовых проблем. Через их истории, а также истории других жителей Миддлмарча, Элиот исследует темы брака, амбиций, общественных реформ, моральных дилемм и личных разочарований."Миддлмарч" выделяется глубоким проникновением в психологию своих героев и детальным описанием социального контекста.
