The touts’ varied methods of buying and selling tickets, the hierarchical structu...

Breaking Ties
With the Moretti family dissolved and no longer a threat to the Caponelli mafia dynasty, Nick Caponelli has found his place at the top as Don and for the last five years he and his wife Ava have been living a charmed life with their three beautiful children. All that changes when Nick finds a police officer at his door. But it’s not Nick the officer is after, instead it’s the man behind a sex trafficking operation that’s found its way into a local New York port and therefore on Nick’s turf. Ava urges Nick to take on the case in order to save as many women and children as possible, a cause felt deeply by her own past experiences. But as Nick and Ava both get roped in deeper to the inner workings of the evil king pin Barella, things spiral quickly out of control. Soon they don’t even feel safe in their own home. With Ava struggling to digest everything that has been going on and Nick hell bent on finding Barella at any cost, the Caponelli bond is threatening to break, and the only thing that can save them is the unrelenting love Nick and Ava have for each other.

In this illuminating book, Rena M. Hoisington traces how the aquatint technique flourished as a cross-cultural and cosmopolitan phenomenon that contributed to the rise of art publishin...

Every day the Director-General of DG XIV requires more and more information to prepare decisions which will affect the future of all those in the Community who are dependent on fishing and aquaculture.
