Book Description
"Great suspense and action, and wonderful world-building. Such a thrilling read." Books 4-6 in the addictive Hoskins & Fletcher crime series are now available as a 3-Book Collection, starting with the gripping cold case thriller, Missing Piece: Sometimes to defeat the monster… You have to become the monster In the summer of 1985 an eight-year-old boy vanishes near his home and is never seen again. Five years later, in the fall of 1990, a nine-year-old missing girl reappears after six months. She is enlightened, she says, and has been with Jehovah in the Garden of Eden. She changes her name to Eve. And thirty years later, she still stands by her story. The two cases couldn’t be more different – the children were from different districts, different schools, different ages and social status, one child returned, the other never did. Only their shared religion offers the faintest of connections. But that doesn’t stop private investigator Cass Fletcher. She knows that for her and her partner to find out what happened to the missing boy before his mother loses her fight with a terminal illness, they’re going to have to look in the places no one else has. They’re going to have to take a leap of faith. Though while her partner’s concerns about the thirty-five-year-old case grow with every passing minute, and the boy’s mother deteriorates, Fletcher refuses to back down. She knows what it's like to live with injustice, she’s been doing just that for the last nineteen years. And with the reappearance in her life of an old adversary, she’s more determined than ever to settle the scores of past hurts, no matter what it takes. But at what cost? Because facing your enemies is deadly. More so when the greatest enemy of all is yourself. "If you are looking for a series to keep you totally absorbed and wanting more, this is it."

Pages : 392
Book Description
How do you get the truth heard... When those who'd rather keep it silent fear nothing? Detective Lawrence Hoskins hasn't been back to work yet; not since the incident that almost cost him his career, his pride, his dignity and his life. He tells everyone he's doing fine. Sometimes he believes it. But when a former work acquaintance opens up about her missing twin he welcomes the chance to busy his mind with something else. In more ways than one. Attractive medical examiner's assistant Catherine Marshall describes her brother Simon as a good man with a kind heart who simply vanished without trace in the summer of 2014. But it's not long before Hoskins learns not everyone remembers the nightclub DJ in the same way. The more questions he asks, the more the picture distorts. With no other means of getting to the truth, Hoskins retraces Simon's steps to the exclusive nightclubs of the east coast where - five years on - danger still lurks beneath the bright lights and under-the-table exchanges. And when he's singled out as an unwelcome tourist the walls close in around him fast. His every instinct screams at him to run. But finding Simon is about more than impressing Catherine, it's a test of nerve... One he's not at all sure he can pass any more. NEVER HEARD is the second book in the Hoskins & Fletcher crime series

Never Seen: A gripping serial killer thriller
Author: TL Dyer
Publisher: Edge of the Roof Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
A man isn’t born a killer. Something happens to make him become one… "Brilliant thriller for fans of Michael Connelly and Harlan Coben." The victims are young men. Their killer drugs them and slashes their wrists. Then he cleans their bodies, combs their hair, and wraps them in protective sheeting before leaving them where they’ll be easily found. Is it a compulsion? A game? Or a brutally delivered message? These are the questions Homicide Detective Lawrence Hoskins must answer as he takes on the lead role in his first serial murder investigation. But as the bodies keep coming, he feels like he’s the one holding the blade, the one standing between life and death. Under mounting pressure he turns to former colleague Cass Fletcher for help. She knows how a serial killer thinks and why they can’t stop. If she can tell him why, perhaps it will lead him to who. Except Hoskins has already made one mistake he’s not aware of. Involving Fletcher is another. And as the killer continues to elude him the case takes its toll in ways he never expects. More so when the signs start pointing in a new direction… “Five beautiful boys lined up in a row, No longer unnoticed but seen by all The officers who killed them soon everyone will know Because the tougher they act, the harder they fall.” Never Seen is a gripping and chilling serial killer thriller, and the first book in the Hoskins & Fletcher crime series "Unlike anything I have ever read before. Amazing, original and most highly recommended." "The twists and turns kept me reading for hours, and I cried at the end. Can't wait to read the next two books!" "I raced through this book. Loved the seriousness, the humor, the sadness." "Couldn't put it down."

Devil in the Grove
Author: Gilbert King
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0062097717
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize “A must-read, cannot-put-down history.” — Thomas Friedman, New York Times Arguably the most important American lawyer of the twentieth century, Thurgood Marshall was on the verge of bringing the landmark suit Brown v. Board of Education before the U.S. Supreme Court when he became embroiled in a case that threatened to change the course of the civil rights movement and cost him his life. In 1949, Florida's orange industry was booming, and citrus barons got rich on the backs of cheap Jim Crow labor with the help of Sheriff Willis V. McCall, who ruled Lake County with murderous resolve. When a white seventeen-year-old girl cried rape, McCall pursued four young black men who dared envision a future for themselves beyond the groves. The Ku Klux Klan joined the hunt, hell-bent on lynching the men who came to be known as "the Groveland Boys." Associates thought it was suicidal for Marshall to wade into the "Florida Terror," but the young lawyer would not shrink from the fight despite continuous death threats against him. Drawing on a wealth of never-before-published material, including the FBI's unredacted Groveland case files, as well as unprecedented access to the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund files, Gilbert King shines new light on this remarkable civil rights crusader.

Criminalization
Author: R A Duff
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191043362
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 349
Book Description
The Criminalization series arose from an interdisciplinary investigation into criminalization, focussing on the principles that might guide decisions about what kinds of conduct should be criminalized, and the forms that criminalization should take. Developing a normative theory of criminalization, the series tackles the key questions at the heart of the issue: what principles and goals should guide legislators in deciding what to criminalize? How should criminal wrongs be classified and differentiated? How should law enforcement officials apply the law's specifications of offences? The fourth book in the series examines the political morality of the criminal law, exploring general principles and theories of criminalization. Chapters provide accounts of the criminal law in the light of ambitious theories about moral and political philosophy - republicanism and contractarianism, or reflect upon on the success of important theories of criminalization by viewing them in a novel light. Ideas that are fundamental to any complete theory of the criminal law - liberty, harm, and the effect on victims - are investigated in depth. Sociological investigation of the criminal law grounds a critical investigation into the principles of criminalization, both as a legislative matter, and with respect to criminalization practices, in contemporary and historical contexts. The volume broadens our conceptions of the theory of criminalization, and clarifies the role of the series in the development of this theory. It is essential reading for all interested in legal, political, and social theories of criminalization.
