Runout
The First Annual Amateurs' Invitational Pool Tournament is about to begin in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The entry fee is a cool $5000 so this is not a game for the faint of heart. Twelve players enter and each has a compelling reason to win. As the games progress the players reveal their characters. At this level pool is a mental game in which the players compete more against themselves than against each other. And there are nasty undercurrents that infect the tournament. It all comes to a head when, on the night of the second round, John Bartlette, a wealthy magazine publisher, is brutally murdered. Lieutenant Rafe Silva and his aide, Sergeant Christine Ford, discover that almost everyone had a good reason to hate the victim. Bartlette was a cheat, a rapist, and a blackmailer. For the detectives, too many motives are as bad as too few. Not since The Huslter have we seen a novel that realistically describes the world of high roller pool. Billiards is a game of contrasts—the elegance of an exclusive men's club against the grit and grime of the corner pool hall. Everyone is a hustler on the green baize.
Mediation and Justice
This book asks why justice is important to both individuals and to society as a whole. A number of justice questions are raised to evaluate whether mediation can deliver social, distributive, procedural, or substantive justice and fairness. Focussing on a scrutiny of mediation in the context of justice, the book covers social justice and justice issues posed by confidentiality, bias, lack of fairness, and Online Dispute Resolution. Discussing whether mediation can truly deliver justice to all, this book identifies areas where this fails and provides solutions and suggestions for improvement.. The dangers of private justice, bias, mandatory mediation, and the side lining of the importance of fairness in the resolution of disputes are all considered. In contrast, the positive aspects of mediation are added to the balance. This book will be of interest to researchers in the field of conflict resolution, law, and social science. Readers will also be found among mediators and people interested in justice and the civil justice system.

The words of his will rang in her ears: "In the event of my granddaughter's death, everything will go to Vince Jeffers." Jeffers watched her with an evil look that made her shiver. Now, afraid of what might happen, she was obeying a note she had received saying she was in danger and must leave town immediately. After escaping to the community of Baxter, Christine begins to piece together a new life. The love she finds there, along with newfound faith, sustains her as she faces the threat of danger.
I Love Liking You A Lot
Teens Palomma Rossi and Doug Halecki are certain about two things: their interest in and their cluelessness about the opposite sex. Growing up in rural southern New Jersey in the late 1970s, Palomma’s dream of pure love found in her favorite romance novels is cruelly crushed by misogyny and betrayal in real life. The only thing Doug manages to attract are bullies and a local pedophile but certainly not his crush, Christine. The strangest of circumstances at school bring Palomma and Doug together where their laughter and trust in each other help them overcome a world that doesn’t seem to want them. A world where they eventually find a way to live, laugh and like.
