In the Line of Duty
In a career spanning three decades, Ranger Lewis Rigler witnessed an era of great political and social turbulence and change in the state as well as within the Ranger force he had sworn to serve. He investigated kidnappings, murders, strike violence, burglary rings--all manner of cases. Some he solved; others remained elusive. Along the way, he saved a life or two; others, he could not.
Psychosocial Treatment for Medical Conditions
Mental Health and Physical Health are undeniably connected. One cannot recover physically, if there is still mental suffering, and vice versa. The essays collected here examine the relationship between mental and physical health, and how that relationship flourishes or suffers in a managed care environment. Understanding more about how the psychological aftereffects of an illness, and the best ways to respond to them, will ultimately enhance the care offered to patients. The contributors offer a wide range of examples of linked physical and mental illnesses, with advice on how best to responsibly address and treat both. Clinicians and practitioners will welcome this guide to navigating a managed care system and working with patients to heal both their mental and physical maladies equally.

In Twilight's Hush
Detective Gabriel McRay investigates a 30 year old cold case involving a missing teenager named Nancy Lewicki. A television celebrity psychic, Carmen Jenette, wants to help him, but Gabriel doesn't believe in "hocus-pocus" nor does he want Carmen to use his case to hike her show ratings. Strange dreams of water and skeletons haunt Gabriel's sleep and unnerve him as he plans his wedding to LA County Medical Examiner, Dr. Ming Li. When Carmen's life is threatened, she begs Gabriel's help. She insists there are connections between the cold case and the attacks on her person. Carmon also tells Gabriel that "Nancy is not reaching out to me, but to you." Although skeptical, Gabriel allows himself to consider messages from his dreams. This leads both the psychic and the hard-headed detective to a sexual predator already imprisoned and to a prominent Los Angeles figure who will stop at nothing to silence the Nancy Lewicki case once and for all.
