Hardback. Zustand: Good. Patricia Cornwell has a sixth sense about the men and women in blue. In Hornet's Nest, her page-turning novel about crime and police in Charlotte, North Carolina, Cornwell moved behind the badges of these real-life heroes to uncover flesh-and-blood characters who strode through her pages to reveal vulnerable, passionate, brave, sometimes doubting, always fascinating figures. In Southern Cross, Cornwell takes us even closer to the personal and professional lives of big-city police, in a story of corruption, scandal, and robberies that escalate to murder. This time, her setting is Richmond, Virginia, where Charlotte Police Chief Judy Hammer has been brought by an NIJ grant to clean up the police force. Reeling from the recent death of her husband, and resented by the police force, city manager, and mayor of Richmond, Hammer is joined by her deputy chief Virginia West and rookie Andy Brazil on the most difficult assignment of her career.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell returns to the early years of the nineteenth century, capturing the bravery, battles, and bloodshed of Britain's peninsular wars with this epic tale of historical fiction featuring his iconic hero Richard Sharpe. Outsider. Hero. Rogue. If any man can do the impossible it's Richard Sharpe. And the impossible is exactly what the formidable Captain Sharpe is asked to do when he's sent on a dangerous mission of espionage to a small village in the Spanish countryside, far behind enemy lines. For the quiet, remote village, sitting high above the Almaraz bridge, is about to become the center of a battle for the future of Europe. Two French armies march towards the bridge, one from the North and one from the South. If they meet, the British are lost. Only Sharpe's small band of riflemen--with their cunning and courage to rely on--stand in their way. But they're rapidly outnumbered, enemies are hiding in plain sight, and as the French edge ever closer to the frontline, time is running out. …

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. I thought Think and Grow Rich was a classic and could never be improved. I was wrong. I am sure Dr. Hill would be greatly pleased to see how his work has been honored and enhanced by this outstanding new edition. -- Wally Amos, author and founder of Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookies Unlike most versions of Napoleon Hill's famous book, this edition restores his masterpiece to its original form and intent. It includes essential material on how to thrive in challenging economic times that was taken out of later versions but is incredibly relevant today. This is the only edition of Think and Grow Rich that is fully annotated and indexed, providing key details about Dr. Hill's life and times, his lifelong research, and the leaders of business and industry he studied to glean the invaluable principles of success you'll discover here. Think and Grow Rich : The Original Version, Restored and Revised(TM)-- * is the only fully annotated version of Hill's 1937 masterpiece * contains 52 pages of endnotes not found elsewhere, representing 10 years of research about Hill and his era, the Think and Grow Rich Philosophy, and the use of the Carnegie Secret to achieve success and accumulate wealth * faithfully restores sections of the original 1937 text that were cut out of the book in the 1960s * is revised only in correcting errors found in the original edition and to correct instances of inappropriate or obsolete (for today) language * offers one of the only and the most comprehensive index in any edition and the book's first appendix * contains never-before published photographs concerning Hill, including his family burial site WHY THIS EDITION OF Think and Grow Rich IS SPECIAL AND UNIQUE: If you search online or in a bookstore for Think and Grow Rich , the first thing you notice is there seem to be an awful lot of different versions - most for sale, some free. What's important to know is that there are three versions, or categories, of Napoleon Hill's book available. How to know which to get? 1. FIRST, there's the original text of the book, a public domain work that is published by numerous people in the U.S. and abroad. It is available online, in print, and in bookstores and libraries. This version is not copyright-protected. Most of these editions are simply verbatim renditions of the 1937 text. As such, they contain obsolete language and terminology (from the 1920s and 1930s). They contain typographical and grammatical errors and occasionally also language that today may be considered racist or sexist, but wasn't in 1937. Many of these so-called original editions are also a blend of material. They intermix or alternate Hill's original text with entirely new material that was not written by Hill nor ever intended by him to be included in his book. These various versions tend not to read well, as they jump around and back and forth, in confusing and distracting ways, between Hill's original words and other material that has been basically cut and pasted into his text. Some publishers have simply attached a public figure's name, photo, and a few paragraphs of comments to the book and then marketed it as a celebrity edition with nothing else added. With all these books, it pays to remember that you get what you pay for. 2. NEXT, there's an abridged version of the book (published by Hill in 1960) and also widely available today online and in bookstores. It is a copyrighted version of the book, but one from which Hill deleted substantial sections from his original that were thought at the time to date the book. It was for many years a popular and widespread version of the book, but its major shortcoming is that it is incomplete, and it contains many of the same flaws noted above. 3. THEN THERE IS the copyrighted Mindpower Press edition --Think and Grow Rich : The Original Version, Restored and Revised(TM). It restores Hill's book to its original form and content. (Some obsolete passages are included in the endnotes, rather than the main text, but all of Hill's original 1937 material is included.) This version is fully copyright-protected by the U. S. Copyright Office. Think and Grow Rich : The Original Version, Restored and Revised(TM) is THE ONLY FULLY ANNOTATED VERSION of Dr. Hill's masterpiece ever published (with more than 52 pages of endnotes representing 10 years of research), and has the book's first comprehensive appendix and index. It is not only true to the original 1937 Napoleon Hill manuscript, in tone, visual design, and readability, as well as content, but it also solves the problem of textual errors and language and terminology that are meaningless or offensive to today's readers. Very minor and unobtrusive changes such as these are what is meant by the word Revised in the book's subtitle. They are made for readability reasons, not for political correctness or abridgment in any way. Which version of Think and Grow Rich you choose really boils down to three choices. When you're deciding which one to purchase, think about which is not just special, but also unique.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 11:05 P.M. Convicted murderer Ronnie Joe Waddell is pronounced dead in the Commonwealth of Virginia's electric chair. In the morgue, Dr. Kay Scarpetta has been waiting for Waddell's body. It's a strange feeling, preparing for an autopsy before the subject is dead. But Scarpetta's been here before. As Virginia's chief medical examiner, she knows the tension of watching the clock as the execution hour draws near. Waddell's death isn't the only newsworthy event on this cold December night. Three hours after thirteen-year-old Eddie Heath goes out to a convenience store to buy a can of soup, his nude, grotesquely wounded body is found propped against a dumpster. Waddell's execution, the attack on Eddie - the two events seem unrelated until Scarpetta and Richmond police lieutenant Pete Marino remember that Waddell arranged his victim in a strikingly similar position to Eddie's. And then there's a new murder, the most puzzling of all. The crime scenes yield few clues: old bloodstains, fragments of feather, and - most baffling - a bloody fingerprint that points Scarpetta to the one suspect who could not possibly have committed this murder. And somewhere in Virginia's corridors of power, perhaps even in her own office, lurks an enemy who will destroy Scarpetta unless she can produce the proof that will clear her name. With some help from her seventeen-year-old niece, computer whiz Lucy, as well as from her loyal friend Lieutenant Marino and FBI agent Benton Wesley, Scarpetta musters all her forensic expertise and investigative skills to uncover shocking secrets that will have vast repercussions. Cruel and Unusual moves bestselling author Patricia D. Cornwell in dramatic new directions, confirming the extraordinary range and power of this gifted, prizewinning writer.…
