Murder in Antigua
No one is worried when flight attendant Betty McNair disappears while on a layover in Antigua. Known for her laziness and less-than-exemplary "sleeping" habits, her fellow crewmembers are merely annoyed and decide to fly on to Baltimore without her. But the next day, Mercury, a member of the flight crew, spies a body floating in Baltimore's Inner Harbor while walking her friend's dog. The corpse is Betty, and Mercury's life is about to get a lot more complicated. Helped by her best friends, Roxie and Rex, and her psychic mother, Madame Zinski, Mercury soon discovers that Betty was embroiled in a dangerous game of smuggling, money laundering, and blackmail. Things take an unexpected personal turn, however, when her hunt for the killer leads her to question a winsome pirate named Rick. In spite of her recent skepticism toward romance, sparks fly between the two and Mercury is drawn to a man for the first time since her husband's death. But will solving Betty's murder also uncover intolerable truths about Rick? In Murder in Antigua, you never know what lurks behind the next page. But, whether it's danger, humor, or romance, one thing is certain-you'll enjoy every word.

Profit
Profit — getting more out of something than you put into it — is the original genius of homo sapiens, who learned how to unleash the energy stored in wood, exploit the land, and refashion ecosystems. As civilization developed, we found more and more ways of extracting surplus value from the earth, often deploying brutally effective methods to discipline people to do the work needed. Historian Mark Stoll explains how capitalism supercharged this process and traces its many environmental consequences. The financial innovations of medieval Italy created trade networks that, with the European discovery of the Americas, made possible vast profits and sweeping cultural changes, to the detrimen...
