After Chicago police detective, Patrick Bowman, is shot and wounded in a street dispute gone awry, he and his wife, Lee, head to Key West for the winter to allow him to recover. Their stay is interrupted by a series of murders that have all the attributes of a serial killer. As he reluctantly gets pulled into the investigation, he must confront Key West Police Chief Raul Jiminez who is up against a grand jury investigating him for embezzlement. The heat is on in the southernmost city.

Ex-football player, ex-cop, Harry Molina, is paid to keep people safe. In sunny Southern Florida, a lot of people need his help. Harry's friend, Bryce Marshall, a high-strung Miami financier with a slew of bad debts, has been forced into a disappearing act that may never end. Bryce's beautiful wife Maria, whose Sicilian good looks are attracting some dangerous strangers, needs protection too. Then, out of nowhere, eighteen-year-old Jane Unruh has come forward with stunning news: She claims to be Harry Molina's daughter-a daughter he never knew he had. And as a witness to a murder in Key West, Jane has crossed paths with a remorseless killer. In a land of randomness and sun, the heat is on. Key West after sunset will be deadly dark, and unless Harry takes fast action, no one will make it through the night alive.

The fat boy died in Montreal. The heat came down in Florida. He was the three hundred-pound son of a mobster caught in the beginning of a blood feud. For two days he'd been running women up to a killer named Brown-then he walked into the middle of a fatal shootout. Bounty hunter Craig Chappell had a personal score to settle with Brown-but the fat boy got in the way. Now the Mob is involved, Brown is on the loose and Chappell has the murdered boy's family to answer to. From the snows of Montreal to the swamps of south Florida, Chappell and Brown are hunters-and the hunted-in a deadly swirl of organized crime gone mad. A strong, beautiful, soul-scarred woman is the only that stands between them. Death is all that lies ahead.

Set in Texas and Afghanistan, Border Crossing is a big-spririted and full-throated coming of age story that blends the timeless themes of family, adolescent uncertainties, and budding sexuality with up-to-the minute issues of war, immigration, and the challenges of small-town life in a nation gone slick and urban. Del Ray Gunn, the protaganist, is someone well worth rooting for.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Delve into what it was like to live during the eighteenth century by reading the first-hand accounts of everyday people, including city dwellers and farmers, businessmen and bankers, artisans and merchants, artists and their patrons, politicians and their constituents. Original texts make the American, French, and Industrial revolutions vividly contemporary.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

A LAND OF BLOOD RED SUNSETS... A KILLER ON THE LOOSE...In the heat of paradise, Key West is primed for a savage struggle to the death. Warren Snow is an ex-con gone straight -- suddenly forced to use every tough move he knows. Maggie Haas is a beautiful woman swept into a vicious whirlpool of greed and corruption. And Charlie Swell is in town.Swell is a killer backed by a millionaire, a psycho on a binge of power, coke and money. He's killed before to keep ahead of the law. With a scheme worth millions hanging in the balance, he's playing rough again. But now Warren and Maggie know his most violent secret. They want revenge. And their world of deep-water dreams and heatwave passions is about to run with blood.

Dealing with criminals his way led Tony Harwood to a parting of the ways with the Miami cops. Now he's trying to make it as a private eye in the funky Florida Keys -- and gaining a reputation for getting results...his way. Ramon Marquesa has a reputation, too. As the scion of South Florida's most powerful family, and the untouchable brother of a political strongman, he's got a stranglehold on Key West that can't be broken. But now he's frantic to hide the only witness who can prove his guilt in a cold-blooded drive-by shooting. Prosecuting for the State Attorney's office, Kay Fulton needs the Marquesa conviction to keep her from abandoning her own convictions about the law, life and love. That's why she turns to Tony Harwood. But finding the key witness in Key West will mean penetrating the sun, surf and sub-machine gun subculture of the island's Cubano community -- where everyone, cops included, mambos to Ramon Marquesa's tune. That means Tony Harwood will have to play hardball...or die hard.

The Scottish mathematician and natural philosopher Sir John Leslie (1766–1832) had set out at the end of the eighteenth century to explore the nature of heat radiation, which he felt was a 'dubious and neglected' area of physics. Leslie's inquiry, published in 1804, details his many experiments, notably the use of two self-devised instruments: Leslie's cube and his differential thermometer. Establishing several basic laws of heat radiation and rejuvenating the debate about the physical composition of heat, Leslie's work gained him the Rumford medal of the Royal Society in 1805. Nevertheless, the same publication jeopardised his chances of obtaining an academic position at Edinburgh. A single, allegedly atheistic endnote, supporting David Hume's views on causation, prompted protests by the local clergymen when his candidature for the chair of mathematics was under consideration. Leslie secured the professorship, however, and remained with the university until his death.
