Book Description
Excited guests at Haversham House count down the final minutes of 1812 while the Earl of Edgewood, a confirmed bachelor, can hardly wait to trade the festivities for a hot bath and a snifter of cognac. He’s the only person to notice when a young lady slips out into the frigid night—and when she fails to return, it’s up to him to save her from the deadly cold. Henrianna Barbour, escaping from an abusive stepfather, finds Edgewood, then loses him to Napoleon's machinations. As a spy for the British Crown, she becomes Madame Rose du Bois, mistress to a top French general, scandalizing and titillating Paris society…until love demands a different kind of truth.

A History of Private Policing in the United States
Author: Wilbur R. Miller
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1472527402
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
Private law enforcement and order maintenance have usually been seen as working against or outside of state authority. A History of Private Policing in the United States surveys private policing since the 1850s to the present, arguing that private agencies have often served as a major component of authority in America as an auxiliary of the state. Wilbur R. Miller defines private policing broadly to include self-defense, stand your ground laws, and vigilantism, as well as private detectives, security guards and patrols from gated community security to the Guardian Angels. He also covers the role of detective agencies in controlling labor organizing through spies, guards and strikebreakers. A History of Private Policing in the United States is an overview integrating various components of private policing to place its history in the context of the development of the American state.
