Ireland has been gripped by the story of a housewife from County Clare who, when her millionaire partner refused to marry her, googled a hitman and arranged to have him killed. Over the course of almost two months, the story of Lyingeyes and Hire_hitman unfolded in a flurry of emails. The website, hitmanforhire.net might have looked amateurish and carried a disclaimer but it attracted serious interest. One person who was interested was Sharon Collins, the ‘devil in the red dress’. Desperate to get her hands on a share of her partner's fortune, she took drastic action. She turned to Google to solve her problem. A Mexican marriage certificate was obtained but wasn’t enough.

This book will prove to its readers that truth is, indeed, stranger than fiction.

Palawan is an adventure novel that has it all. There is an exotic tropical location. There are Muslim terrorists, missionary hostages, a millionaire's daughter, mercenaries, Borneo pirates and a struggle for survival. It's a story of friendship, courage, life, death and love played out under extreme conditions. The story begins half a world away in the Philippine jungle, continues in Las Vegas and has its unexpected climax on a remote ranch in the Arizonza high desert.
Letters from five continents intersect in this powerful story that explores the deeper meanings of patriotism, heroism, love of liberty and courage under fire.

A young army nurse under bombardment on the Philippine Island of Corregidor during World War II corresponds with her mother, her teacher, and her best friend. Because of the war, friendships change, courtships go amiss and family bonds stress or strengthen.
This book brings together key essays that seek to make visible and expand our understanding of the role of government (policies, programs, and investments) in shaping cities and metropolitan regions; the costs and consequences of uneven urban and regional growth patterns; suburban sprawl and public health, transportation, and economic development; and the enduring connection of place, space, and race in the era of increased globalization.
