A century after the close of the Civil War, Yankees stage another foray into Dixie, this time the objective is control of a venerable beloved insurance company-The Southland. In terms reminiscent of Sherman's assault on Atlanta, Baltimore stockbrokers attempt to gain control of an institution as emblematic of southern culture and manners as Tara in Gone With the Wind. Fought this time with proxies and ballots instead of musket balls, this conflict puts to the test the hearts and minds of a generation who thought they had outgrown the biases and prejudices of the survivors of the War Between the States.
Building on the momentum of The Knights Dawning, The Knights Mourning watches the Dawnings continue to spin out of control as they face a full frontal assault from enemies on every side. Each brother will be forced to confront his demons as one by one each must choose between his own self-preservation and that of the family and realm.
"The Goddess Test" meets "Dexter" in an edgy, compelling debut about one teen's quest for revenge . . . no matter how far it takes her.
This volume contains a series of Jacobean newsletters written by members of one of the most important Catholic clerical factions of the period. They shed light primarily on matters which most immediately affected the English Catholic community: the strife between different Catholic factions, the conflict between Catholics and the State (especially over the Jacobean oath of allegiance), and the possibility, nevertheless, of obtaining some form of toleration. They also give us Catholic glosses on other news which could be taken to have a bearing on the prospects of English Catholics, such as Court politics, the conduct of Jacobean foreign policy towards European Catholic states, and controversies within the Church of England. This previously unpublished material, extensively annotated by Michael Questier, provides highly illuminating source material for the study of early modern ecclesiastical politics.
Justice is a great thing when someone has been wronged or violated. We want those guilty held accountable for the crime they have committed. In this book you will read true stories of real case files of Detective Ron Wallace. The stories are real but the names of the victim's and suspect have been changed to protect their identity. The street names have also been changed. Some of the cases in this book will touch your heart and then be filled with excitement. The book has been formatted into a case file format like a real case file. I have tried to bring my experiences as a Police Detective to book form and give the reader a feel of being a Detective. I hope this book may inspire readers to make sure that if someone they know or themselves become more diligent in keeping peace.
