Enemy of the People
When terrorists kidnap the president, a reporter uncovers a shocking conspiracy in this thriller by the award-winning journalist and author of Borderland. The US president has called a summit with top congressional representatives in a swank resort retreat in northern New Mexico. But the confab quickly morphs into a national crisis when the president is kidnapped by Islamic terrorists who have secreted into the country across the US-Mexico border. Reporter Kyle Dawson of the Washington Herald covers this delicate political performance with a jaundiced eye. Using his contacts in the region, he starts investigating how the abduction happened. Along with him is his cousin Raoul Garcia, an ex-Special Forces commando who’s highly capable of the measures required to free the president. But when they learn that the terrorists have secured a tactical nuclear weapon from Los Alamos, Dawson and Garcia realize they’re up against a conspiracy of terrifying proportions.
Head Count
When fifteen- year-old Carly Elliot parts company with an Alp, David Benedict, the teacher in charge of the ski-party is suspended from his job pending charges of negligence and possibly even manslaughter. His only ally is journalist Rebecca Daley and even she's trying to connect him to two teenage suicides. Polizeikommissar Kurz thinks David may be a murderer, D.S. Sands thinks he's an idiot and the others down the nick reckon he's a paedophile but it won't be until he finds himself tied to a chair in a run-down church, an automatic pistol in his face and trying desperately, through broken teeth, to speak German with a Swiss accent that he'll begin to suspect he may be in over his head. Could things get any worse? Of course they can; this is David Benedict we're talking about. Daley wants a story, Benedict wants his old life back; if either gets what they want, the other will be seriously disappointed. In the event, each of them is going to get a bloody sight more than they bargained for.
The European Union, Emerging Global Business and Human Rights
Emerging and developing states are home to powerful corporations capable of deploying economic activities on a global scale through the rapid pace of technological change and globalisation. But such corporations have to date been largely overlooked in the field of business and human rights. Treatment of such corporations has typically been in the context of supply chain studies, as subsidiaries of corporations from economically developed Western states. This book takes a radically different approach. It aims to investigate the conditions under which the European Union and its Member States regulate and remedy human rights violations by corporations from emerging and developing states. Stemming from the hypothesis that the EU intends to play a central role, Aleydis Nissen explores how the EU and its Member States attempt to ensure that EU-based businesses are not undercut by emerging competition, drawing on global examples to illustrate this developing phenomenon.
