Grand Central Publishing Suspect
Book SynopsisThe #1 New York Times bestselling author of Presumed Innocent and The Last Trial returns with a riveting legal thriller in which a reckless private detective is embroiled in a fraught police scandal.For as long as Lucia Gomez has been the police chief in the city of Highland Isle, near Kindle County, she has known that any woman in law enforcement must walk a precarious line between authority and camaraderie to gain respect. She has maintained a spotless reputation—until now. Three male police officers have accused her of soliciting sex in exchange for promotions to higher ranks. With few people left who she can trust, Chief Gomez turns to an old friend, Rik Dudek, to act as her attorney in the federal grand jury investigation, insisting to Rik that the accusations against her are part of an ugly smear campaign designed to destroy her career and empower her enemies—both outside the police force and within.. Clarice “Pinky” Granum spent most of her youth experimenting with an impressive array of drugs and failing out of various professions, including the police academy. Pinky knows that in the eyes of most people, she's nothing but a screwup—but she doesn't trust most people's opinions anyway. Moreover, she finally has a respectable-enough job as a licensed P.I. working for Rik on his roster of mostly minor cases, like workman's comp, DUIs and bar fights. Rik's shabby office and even shabbier cases are a far cry from the kinds of high-profile criminal matters Pinky became familiar with in the law office of her grandfather, Sandy Stern. But Rik and Pinky feel that Chief Gomez’s case, which has attracted national attention, is their chance to break into the legal big leagues. Guided by her gut instinct and razor-sharp investigative skills, Pinky dives headfirst into a twisted scandal that will draw her into the deepest recesses of the city’s criminal networks, as well as the human mind. But she will need every scrap of tenacity and courage to unravel the dark secrets those closest to her are determined to keep hidden.

Hodder & Stoughton The Suspect: A contributing source for the film
Book Synopsis**A contributing source for the film Richard Jewell, directed by Clint Eastwood**On July 27, 1996, a hapless former cop turned hypervigilant security guard named Richard Jewell spotted a suspicious bag in Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park, the town square of the 1996 Summer Games. Inside was a bomb, the largest of its kind in FBI and ATF history. Minutes later, the bomb detonated amid a crowd of fifty thousand people. But thanks to Richard Jewell, it only wounded 111 and killed two, not the untold scores who would have otherwise died. With the eyes of the world on Atlanta, the Games continued. But the pressure to find the bomber was intense. Within seventy-two hours, Richard went from the hero to the FBI's main suspect. The news leaked and the intense focus on the guard forever changed his life. The worst part: It let, Eric Rudolph, the true bomber roam free to strike again. What really happened that evening during the Olympic Games? The attack left a mark on American history, but most of what we remember is wrong. In a triumph of reporting and access in the tradition of the best investigative journalism, former U.S. Attorney Kent Alexander and former Wall Street Journal reporter Kevin Salwen reconstruct all the events leading up to, during, and after the Olympic bombing from mountains of law enforcement evidence and the extensive personal records of key players, including Jewell himself. The Suspect, the culmination of more than five years of reporting, is a gripping story of the rise of domestic terrorism in America, the advent of the 24/7 news cycle, and an innocent man's fight to clear his name.Trade ReviewThe Suspect is a fascinating reconstruction of the Neo-Gothic tale of Richard Jewell, the security guard who was memorably and unjustly implicated in the 1996 bombing at the Atlanta Olympic games. Meticulously reported, bracingly written, full of memorable and bizarre characters, the book casts a wary eye on the worlds of law enforcement and journalism, and their multiple failures in this tale. It's a story with no winners - except for readers of this terrific book. -- Jeffrey Toobin * bestselling author, staff writer at the New Yorker, and senior legal analyst at CNN *From questionable FBI tactics to the role of the press, The Suspect lays bare how Jewell became their unwitting victim in the rush to solve the biggest and most public crime of the era. It is a cautionary tale that reminds us that criminal investigations are often lengthy and painstaking, ill-suited for today's media frenzy. The Suspect is an important, highly relevant book. -- Janet Napolitano * President of the University of California and Former United States Secretary of Homeland Security *Domestic terror, white nationalism, FBI profilers, a trial by punchline in the infancy of twenty-four-hour news cycle-what happened in Atlanta's Centennial Park during the 1996 Olympics still echoes like a bomb blast today in this engrossing and meticulously researched ticktock about the railroading of Richard Jewell and the killer who almost got away. -- Charles Graeber * New York Times bestselling author of The Good Nurse and The Breakthrough *

Network 3000 Publishing The Secret Behind the Secret Law of Attraction
Book SynopsisWARNING: To Open This Book Is To Expose The Secret For What It Is "You get more of what you think about." On the surface the idea sounds true and has real sex appeal. It's easy to "think" and if that's all it takes to get a new car, we're in! The movie The Secret has spread the Law of Attraction to the masses in a way no "New Age" idea has ever been spread before. Purported to be a physical law "like gravity," the Law of Attraction purveyors say that your thoughts cause "vibrations" that entrain with "like things," in the universe and bring them to you and it works every time. Two of the world's most recognizable experts on persuasion, influence and cults, Dr. Kevin Hogan and Dave Lakhani combine forces with television producer Blair Warren and Minister and Psychotherapist, Bob Beverly to expose what may be the biggest mass manipulation of the public in recent history. Based on pseudo-science and hype, the Law of Attraction says that you are responsible for everything in your life. If you have cancer, you attracted it and if you change your thoughts, it can go away. The genocide in Rwanda - They attracted that too. The rape and murder of young children across the United States ...it's their fault, they attracted it, subconsciously.Sound insane? Those statements were all made by the producers and teachers of "The Law of Attraction" "The Law" also says that wealth, homes, jewelry and the perfect relationship are right around the corner if you just "Ask, Believe, Receive." And their source of the truth? A 100 year old book written by a kind but broke man who died an early death and a psychic who channels a spirit being(s) "Abraham." No one would believe it if it were fiction. Even Harry Potter has limitations. But those who use The Law have learned The Secret. And because of this, children will not get medical help, relationships will be destroyed, jobs will be left and masses of people will go bankrupt. Around the world people are spending millions to hear the message to learn to save themselves from their thoughts. The Secret Behind The Secret Law of Attraction explains how and why people worldwide are sucked in by this seemingly benign message of quick money and easy fixes and how to avoid being a victim yourself.

LoganSuch a vivid sense of place, a gripping plot, elegantly told, and a twist that left me reeling - brilliant! -- Sarah PearsePsychological suspense has a new adjective - pure Candlish -- Cara HunterI'm blown away by how good it is. A gripping tale of love, secrets and deception - it's the best psychological thriller I've read in a long time -- Mark EdwardsI loved The Only Suspect: a heady dose of mid Nineties nostalgia, with trademark whiplash twists and satire. Louise Candlish has surpassed her own, always high standards. Quite possibly her best yet -- Sarah VaughanThe Only Suspect is a suspenseful, thrilling and breath-taking mystery about the dark secrets that live in the past, and the paralysing fear that they'll be uncovered. If you thought you misbehaved in the nineties you've got nothing on the devious, duplicitous cast of this book. Gripping, unpredictable and tense, it'll keep you guessing all the way through -- C. L. TaylorI was completely pulled in by the story and the layers of clever plotting; the twists and turns - though well set up, took me completely by surprise and I found myself staying up late to finish it, utterly absorbed by the excellent story telling -- Jane ShemiltThe Only Suspect kept me guessing all the way through. It’s the book version of a Rubik's Cube with so many unexpected twists and turns. An adrenaline burner for sure! -- Liz NugentAs good as I hoped it would be. Messy relationships, deception and some big surprises. Loved it! -- Jane FallonWOW. As always Louise Candlish has written a taut, unsettling, compulsive and ingenious novel with gasp-out-loud twists and fatally flawed characters forced into tragedy by circumstances. I LOVED it! -- Isabelle BroomI was sucked in from the beginning, hooked and hoodwinked. A masterclass in psychological thriller writing -- Diane JeffreyI couldn't put it down -- Shari LapenaI couldn't put it down! Fantastic characters, a trip down memory lane into '90s London and I honestly didn't see that ending coming AT ALL. Deliciously dark and devastating -- Nikki SmithTense, taut and twisty. Candlish is a master of her craft -- Adele ParksA nerve-shredding plot that kept me guessing to the finish. Another triumph! -- Fiona BartonI absolutely adored The Only Suspect. Tightly plotted and brilliantly written with twists so perfect they made me gasp out loud on more than one occasion. The story was so tense I couldn’t stop turning the pages, desperate to know the outcome. My favourite Louise Candlish book so far. Highly recommended -- Claire DouglasAn incredible page-turner…An absolute must-read. Get this on your 2023 wish list -- BA ParisThe Only Suspect is a heady pleasure from the very first page. It's both a page-tearing mystery and a pitch-perfect 90s period piece. Shimmers with mystery, tension, and dirty glamour -- Abigail DeanThis book should come with a warning: you won't speak to anyone until the last page -- Celia Walden

The book is student-friendly, bringing research to life with real-life examples, and it features a great mix of classic studies and recently published research. It is refreshing to see all these topics covered in one textbook.' - Claire Hart, Lecturer in Psychology, University of Southampton, UK 'Not since Rubin's classic 1973 Liking and Loving do we have a book that intelligently reviews a broad range of social science research on interpersonal attraction. The authors are masterfully able to discuss abstract scientific concepts in a way that is illuminating as well as engaging. They are able to blend the scientific literature, personal anecdotes, and popular media to cook such a delicious meal that gives all of us plenty to chew on for some time.' - David A.

Readers will find each chapter to be both interesting and accessible." - Norman Li, Associate Professor of Psychology, Singapore Management University, Singapore 'Fugere, Leszczynski, and Cousins provide an accessible and engaging overview of a topic that should be of particular interest to traditional age undergraduates. The book's summaries and analyses of a range of research are interspersed with illustrative and entertaining examples from the authors' lives and from popular culture. As readers are guided through some of the implications for their own relationships, they may be startled to learn how wrong some of their beliefs about dating are.' - Susan Rakowitz, Assistant Professor of Psychology, Fairfield University, USATable of ContentsPART I: ATTRACTION 1.

Liverpool University Press Studying The Usual Suspects: Instructor's Edition
Book SynopsisThe story of The Usual Suspects has the kind of "rags to riches" back story that makes not only the film itself, but the tale of its creation a tale worth telling. Inspired by a magazine headline, it was a poster before it was a screenplay, yet it stands in opposition to the High Concept Hollywood movie. Studying The Usual Suspects is an analysis of a film that is both a ripping yarn and an exercise in virtuoso technique. Author Judith Gunn offers: a thorough introduction to semiotics as a way of approaching the multiple meanings of the film; a consideration of the film's noir antecedents and influences; a discussion of the film's playful approach to narrative; an overview of John Ottman's unique role as both composer and editor and how this affects the finished article, including a shot-by-shot analysis of the dramatic and mysterious opening sequence; and a definitive account of the film's genesis from idea to film festival acclaim.

Michael O'Mara Books Ltd Kiss of Death: True Cases of Fatal Attraction
Book SynopsisObsession, jealousy, lust, revenge ...There is nothing more dangerous than a passion that curdles into murderous intent. Love, when it goes wrong and spirals into violence, can lead to the most tragically chilling consequences; death at the hands of a partner or ex-partner is the most common way for a woman to be murdered, far outnumbering her risk of murder by stranger.Sexual obsession is the theme that ties all of these tragic stories together. There is the tale of talented landscape artist Jill Cahill, whose husband was not content with battering his wife to a pulp and so went back to finish the job while she lay in her hospital bed. There is the wife whose body was found in the boot of her own car, and whose husband had framed his girlfriend for the crime, hoping to get rid of two women from his life. But men don’t have a monopoly on murder; there is also the case of Martha Freeman, who hid her lover in her wardrobe, and teamed up with him to murder her husband. John Tanner served a twelve-year sentence for the murder of his girlfriend, and is now back behind bars for another attack on another partner. British soldier Emile Cilliers attempted to murder his wife by cutting the cords of her parachute; however, while he may not have succeeded, Belgian teacher and amateur skydiver Els Clotterman did when she cut her love rival’s cords five years earlier.These, and many others, are the stories of fatal attraction you will find in the pages of this book.

MW - Rutgers University Press Forever Suspect Racialized Surveillance of
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Well researched and to provide a rich account of the experiences of two communities of Muslim Americans after September 11 without being too generalizing or overreaching." — American Journal of Sociology "Saher Selod makes a major contribution to conversations around anti-Muslim sentiment by focusing on the way gender impacts not only how Muslims are profiled and policed, but also how Muslims’ response to surveillance is gendered. She provides a clear, well-organized, and nuanced account of Arab and South Asian Muslims’ unstable relationship with power, privilege, and citizenship in the United States post-9/11. Selod’s work forces scholars and activists to move past a one-size-fits-all approach to dismantling anti-Muslim racism, instead recognizing the importance of intersectionality."— American Religion "Selod skillfully blends decades of survey data with recent ethnographic research, drawing on personal interviews she conducted with family members and interview subjects in the metropolitan areas of Chicago and Dallas/Fort Worth. Selod carefully lays out the political and economic context of the US 'war on terror' and provides useful historical perspective on the status and experience of Arab and South Asian immigrants within the US, prior to and after September 2001. Selod does a particularly astute job of illuminating the rhetorical processes by which Muslim men and women have been constructed as threatening and/or threatened bodies."— TDR "Chronicle of Higher Education weekly book list," by Nina C. Ayoub— Chronicle of Higher Education "This is the book we’ve been waiting for. Scholars of Muslim Americans have long needed a rigorous study of how Muslims get racialized during the War on Terror. Saher Selod has not only provided us with the answers we were seeking but importantly shows how this racialization is both profoundly gendered and deeply institutionalized into today’s surveillance state. A necessary book for our time."— Moustafa Bayoumi, author of This Muslim American Life: Dispatches from the War on Terror "There is a deep-seated stigmatization of Muslims in the U.S. today. Forever Suspect offers a portrait of this stigmatization and also offers a framework for understanding its character. Selod's work is a fine addition to the sociology of race and ethnicity, immigration, and the Muslim American experience."— Nazli Kibria, author of Muslims in Motion: Islam and National Identity in the Bangladeshi DiasporaTable of ContentsIntroduction 1 Moving from South Asian and Arab Identity to a Muslim Identity 2 Flying While Muslim: State Surveillance of Muslim Americans in US Airports 3 Citizen Surveillance 4 Self-Discipline or Resistance?: Muslim American Men and Women’s Responses to their Hyper Surveillance 5 Shifting Racial Terrain for Muslim Americans: The Impact of Racialized Surveillance Conclusion: The Future for Muslims in America Appendix A Acknowledgments References Index
