Malifact
Evil has many faces, but for Detective Karen Murphy, the evil that she comes face to face with is beyond anything her rational mind could have conjured up. The sorcerer who slaughtered the family of the boy king Tutankhamun and murdered Cleopatra is at large in modern San Francisco. Karen's only hope is the mysterious Frenchman who seemingly defeated the sorcerer over 60 years before and now returns to make good on the prophetic words of an angry goddess from 35 centuries ago - that evil will die at the hands of a child unborn.

Suicide through a Peacebuilding Lens
This book, as the first exploration of suicide in Peace and Conflict Studies (PACS), illustrates the scarcity of suicide research in the discipline and argues that the leading cause of violent death worldwide is a multifaceted phenomenon that needs to be fully comprehended as a significant and often preventable form of world-wide violence. The author supplies a theoretical framework for assessing suicide as medical or instrumental, posits interdisciplinary complementarity and offers future lines of inquiry that challenge established notions of prevention. The book presents a PACS meta-theory termed ‘encounter theory’ and supplies a suicidal peacebuilding platform via relationship. This book questions why more PACS scholars aren’t turning their attention to suicide when more people die by suicide than ethnic, religious or ‘terroristic’ violence combined.
