Finding someone in the Witness Protection Program is excruciatingly difficult, precisely because the Marshals Service goes to great lengths to change a witness’s identity and to move the witness, plus spouse and children, far away. Yet Private Detective Rocky Stonebrook accepts an assignment to do precisely that. Astonishingly, Stonebrook and his two sidekicks manage, with a great deal of luck, to locate the hidden woman. But in doing so, they encounter hostile federal marshals and unknowingly elicit the attention of three separate hitmen dispatched by the National Hitpersons Society. One hitman wants to murder the witness, one seeks to kill the witness’ daughter, and the third killer tries to terminate Stonebrook with extreme prejudice. Behind the Curtain: Piercing the Witness Protection Veil is a taut mystery/thriller chock full of adventure, sharp turns, assassins, surprises, and several near-misses. In other words, it’s a must-read.
It is now more than twenty-five years since object-oriented programming was “inve- ed” (actually, more than thirty years since work on Simula started), but, by all accounts, it would appear as if object-oriented technology has only been “discovered” in the past ten years! When the first European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming was held in Paris in 1987, I think it was generally assumed that Object-Oriented Progr- ming, like Structured Programming, would quickly enter the vernacular, and that a c- ference on the subject would rapidly become superfluous. On the contrary, the range and impact of object-oriented approaches and methods continues to expand, and, - spite the inevi...
Examining seventeenth-century crises of evidence and genres of evidence on which both literary critics and historians now depend, True Relations explores the notion that we apprehend truth through other people's relations of it and that those relations, and our own relation to them, are a function of social relationships in conflict.

The tumultuous climate of early modern England had a profound effect on its Catholic population's domestic life, social customs, literary inventions, and political arguments. Redrawing the Map of Early Modern English Catholicism explores the broad spectrum of the early modern English Catholic experience, presenting fresh and often startling assessments of the most problematic topics in post-Reformation English Catholicism. The contributors to this volume – all leading or rising scholars of early modern studies – conceptualize English Catholicism as a hazardous series of contested territories divided by shifting boundaries, requiring Catholics to navigate with vigilance and diplomacy their status as 'insiders' or 'outsiders.' This collection also presents new ways to understand the connections between reformist and Catholic inflections in the emerging canon of English poetry, despite the eventual marginalization of Catholic poets in English literary history. Redrawing the Map of Early Modern English Catholicism ably demonstrates the profoundly experimental as well as recuperative character of early modern English Catholicism.

John Simpson and his eventual wife, Melody, are people who have been helped to discover many of those dimensions and have been given the power to fight the evil in this world and others.
