Roy Mitchell is an Assistant District Attorney in Dallas, Texas, assigned to the trial division. By a consensus of the local criminal defense attorneys, Mitchell is one of the best prosecutors in the office. Mitchell decides to handle a case in prosecuting Ulysses Carillo for attempting to murder Tony Medina. Medina has been left paralyzed as a result of this attempted murder. And it is this paralysis that becomes the motivating factor in Mitchell taking the case. This ulterior reason can be traced directly to Linden, Texas, a small town in the piney woods of east Texas where Roy Mitchell was raised.Carillo, one of the largest cocaine dealers in Dallas, exerts pressure and threats upon Tony Medina, which results in Medina dropping the charges against Carillo. Obviously, to the true prosecutor, this infuriates Mitchell, but nothing can be done to prevent it. Carillo, of course, is relieved, and this allows him to continue his thriving narcotic dealings. All this time, Tony Medina, confined to his wheelchair, watches as Carillo destroys with drugs the lives of people.From his first encounter with Tony Medina, Roy Mitchell establishes a personal friendship with Medina that continues to grow long after criminal charges have been dropped. All this time, the paralyzed victim's anger and disgust grow toward Carillo. It reaches its zenith when Tony convinces Mitchell to drive him by Carillo's house. Unbeknownst to Mitchell, when Tony is driven in front of Carillo's house--with Carillo and friends in the front yard--Tony pulls out a shotgun previously hidden from Mitchell and shoots and kills Ulysses Carillo.The shooting is investigated by Frank Barnes a homicide detective in the Dallas Police Department. Barnes knew that Medina could not drive a vehicle because of his injuries. He is looking for the other person involved in the murder of Ulysses Carillo. When he discovers that this other person is his close personal and professional friend, Mitchell, he realizes that Roy overstepped his professional judgment and became personally involved. And it's this involvement that leads to Mitchell's arrest for murder. Because of Mitchell's involvement in the murders--however innocent it might be--he is charged with murder. The golden boy among all of the prosecutors in the State of Texas is charged with killing--or helping to kill--the sorriest, meanest, and most dangerous individual the City of Dallas has seen in many years.The trial draws immense nationwide publicity. It also brings into service one of the nation's premier criminal defense attorneys, Travis Payne from Gunnison, Colorado. How can Roy prove his innocence in the face of such strong circumstantial evidence that exists against him? The key rests with a surprise and secret defense witness known only to Travis Payne and no one else--not even Roy Mitchell. For unknown reasons, this witness, a good, honest, and credible individual testifies in his effort to save Roy Mitchell. Normally, it is the good guys who are prosecuting the bad guys. But the tables are turned somewhat, when here, it is the good guys being prosecuted for ridding society of the bad guys.

Weirton was originally settled as the village of Holliday's Cove, a strategic fortification along the Ohio River in northwestern Virginia. In 1909, a tinplate mill was established in northern Holliday's Cove, and Weirton was born. Thousands of immigrants of many nationalities came here to work and live, while Ernest T. Weir created his life's dream of a fully integrated steel plant. Weirton became the Largest Unincorporated Town in the Country and remained unincorporated for 38 years. In 1947, Weirton combined with Holliday's Cove, Weirton Heights, and Marland Heights to become the official City of Weirton. Thomas E. Millsop, president of Weirton Steel Co., became the first mayor, and the mill became a major factor in the city's success. Many historic moments, including the record snowfall of Thanksgiving weekend 1950, were highlighted in the Weirton Steel Employees' Bulletin. Weirton captures this event and tells the story of the New City, which thrived in the 1950s and 1960s.

From international bestselling author Dennis Jones comes a prolific cold war espionage story of a Soviet conspiracy to cripple the western democracies. It is the final decade of the 20th Century, the dawn of a new era of repression and political murder in the U.S.S.R.. But the Soviet leadership has made a startling pronouncement: Russia's Jews-two million men, women, and children-will be permitted to leave the country...immediately And immigrate to the western democracy countries that shall have them. However the expulsion of the Russian Jews is merely a smokescreen masking a hideous Soviet conspiracy to destabilize the west from within. And CIA agent Sam Cole has in his position the terrible secret of Operation Winter Palace and its true nature-a nightmare of genocidal horror unseen since the dark days of Nazi Germany. And only he can prevent the unthinkable-if he can get out of the Soviet Union alive. But it may already be too late...a secondary plot to engulf the Middle East in a bathe of nuclear fire has been put into motion by a rogue terror cell that could bring the entire world toward Armageddon. From the bestselling author of BARBAROSSA RED comes a frighteningly plausible tale of the day after tomorrow. A monumental masterwork of suspense and intrigue that races from the heart of the Soviet empire to the underworld of Ankara and Damascus with the velocity of a speeding bullet and the devastating power of an atomic bomb.

Performance of Bio-based Building Materials provides guidance on the use of bio-based building materials (BBBM) with respect to their performance. The book focuses on BBBM currently present on the European market. The state-of-the-art is presented regarding material properties, recommended uses, performance expectancies, testing methodology, and related standards. Chapters cover both ‘old and traditional’ BBBM since quite a few of them are experiencing a comeback on the market. Promising developments that could become commercial in the near future are presented as well. The book will be a valuable reference resource for those working in the bio-based materials research community, architects and agencies dealing with sustainable construction, and graduate students in civil engineering.

The market for durable products using modified wood has increased substantially during the last few years. This is partly because of the restriction on the use of toxic preservatives due to environmental concerns, and to lower maintenance cost and time. Furthermore, as sustainability becomes a greater concern, the environmental impact of construction and interior materials is factored in planning by considering the whole life cycle and embodied energy of the materials used.Wood is modified to improve its intrinsic properties, enhance the range of applications of timber, and to acquire the form and functionality desired by engineers without calling the environmental friendliness into question. Wood modification processes are at various stages of development, and the challenges faced in scaling up to industrial applications differ. The aim of this book is to put together the key elements of the changes of wood constituents and the related changes in wood properties of modified wood. Further, a selection of the principal technologies implemented in wood modification are presented. This work is intended for researchers, professionals of timber construction, as well as students studying the science of materials, civil engineering and architecture. This work is not exhaustive, but intends to deliver an outline of the scientific disciplines necessary to apprehend the technologies of wood modification and its behavior during treatment, as well as during its use.
