Book Description
Tough guy Henry Fox is at it again, solving crimes with more luck than brains and a whole lot of brawn. When SCUBA diver Ray Malliff fails to surface after a dive near California’s Catalina Island, Chicago insurance investigator, Henry Fox, is assigned to investigate the claim. A few weeks prior the missing man had purchased a half-million dollar insurance policy so the disappearance doesn’t pass the insurance Company’s smell test. It takes four murders, an accidental death and a suicide before Henry and his giant side-kick Jesse can expose the truth. The bodies pile up as Henry stumbles his way through Vegas mobsters, a maniacal hit man and a seductive widow whose part in the drama is as murky as the sea in which the SCUBA diver disappeared. The fast-paced action doesn’t let up until Henry bashes his way to the stunning conclusion. The second book in the popular, Henry Fox series, In Murder’s Wake will leave you begging for book number three.

The Message is Murder
Author: Jonathan Beller
Publisher: Pluto Press (UK)
ISBN: 9780745337302
Category : Capitalism
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The Message is Murder analyses the violence bound up in the everyday functions of digital media. At its core is the concept of 'computational capital' - the idea that capitalism itself is a computer, turning qualities into quantities, and that the rise of digital culture and technologies under capitalism should be seen as an extension of capitalism's bloody logic. Engaging with Borges, Turing, Claude Shannon, Hitchcock and Marx, this book tracks computational capital to reveal the lineages of capitalised power as it has restructured representation, consciousness and survival in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Ultimately The Message is Murder makes the case for recognising media communications across all platforms - books, films, videos, photographs and even language itself - as technologies of political economy, entangled with the social contexts of a capitalism that is inherently racial, gendered and genocidal.

When She was Bad
Author: Patricia Pearson
Publisher: Penguin Group
ISBN:
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
While national crime rates have recently fallen, crimes committed by women have risen 200 percent, yet we continue to transform female violence into victimhood by citing PMS, battered wife syndrome, and postpartum depression as sources of women?s actions. When She Was Bad convincingly overturns these perceptions by telling the stories of such women as Karla Faye Tucker, who was recently executed for having killed two people with a pickax; Dorothea Puente, who murdered several elderly tenants in her boarding house; and Aileen Wuornos, a Florida woman who shot seven men. Patricia Pearson marshals a vast amount of research and statistical support from criminologists, anthropologists, psychiatrists, and sociologists, and includes many revealing interviews with dozens of men and women in the criminal justice system who have firsthand experience with violent women. When She Was Bad is a fearless and superbly written call to reframe our ideas about female violence and, by extension, female power.
