Praying with One Eye Open
In 1878, Elder Joseph Standing traveled into the Appalachian mountains of North Georgia, seeking converts for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Sixteen months later, he was dead, murdered by a group of twelve men. The church refused to bury the missionary in Georgia soil; instead, he was laid to rest in Salt Lake City beneath a monument that declared, "There is no law in Georgia for the Mormons." Most accounts of this event have linked Standing's murder to the virulent nineteenth-century anti-Mormonism that also took the life of prophet Joseph Smith and to an enduring southern tradition of extralegal violence. In these writings, the stories of the men who took Standing's life ...
Cometh Evil
The year is 1942. America has, finally, entered the war on the side of beleaguered Britain, bringing to bear its manpower and resources. Winston Churchill has long fought for American involvement, and his dream has been fulfilled. But now comes something to imperil that dream, something with the potential to turn British public opinion against the friendly invaders. American crime, American justice would seem to be straightforward, but the jurisdictional boundaries are crossed, reversed, lost in the maze of murder. An American MP, a Scotland Yard detective and a British officer with close ties to the world of spies and military intelligence together try to unravel the threads, bring murderers to justice. Nothing is straightforward. Neither justice nor retribution. Neither innocence or guilt. The quest takes the three investigators all the way from the British Prime Minister and the American commander, General Eisenhower, to the lowest rungs of the British underworld.

Agricultural hub and industrial powerhouse, the town flourished along the railroad and gained prominence as a bustling trading post. Greer has braved market manipulation, commercial competition, and agricultural decimation, but strives even today to preserve the continuity of its community identity.
Carnivorous Plants
Carnivorous plants have fascinated botanists, evolutionary biologists, ecologists, physiologists, developmental biologists, anatomists, horticulturalists, and the general public for centuries. Charles Darwin was the first scientist to demonstrate experimentally that some plants could actually attract, kill, digest, and absorb nutrients from insect prey; his book Insectivorous Plants (1875) remains a widely-cited classic. Since then, many movies and plays, short stories, novels, coffee-table picture books, and popular books on the cultivation of carnivorous plants have been produced. However, all of these widely read products depend on accurate scientific information, and most of them have re...
