The nightmare of 9/11 left New York City medical examiner Edward Jenner shattered and emotionally scarred. He thought he''d turned away from forensics—and life—for good, but the mutilation murder of a college student is pulling him back. The body of a young woman, nailed to the wall of her East Village apartment, has Jenner convinced that there''s a serial killer prowling the city—and a second horrific murder only confirms his most terrible fears. The desperate hunt for a psychopath—and Jenner''s troubling obsession with a beautiful, frightened woman who could be the maniac''s next victim—is pushing the forensic expert to the limits of his physical and mental endurance.But as the shadows deepen it gets harder to tell who is the hunter and who is the prey. And which one will live . . . and who will die.

Forensic pathologist Edward Jenner survived the horrific ordeal of the Inquisitor serial slayings in New York, but not the political fallout. With his state medical license suspended, he hopes to repair his shattered life while working as a medical examiner in Douglas County, Florida. But evil is not confined to big cities alone.Two corpses pulled from a sunken car—followed by the grisly discovery of four more bodies hanging in the Everglades—are evidence of an insidious rot infecting this quiet coastal resort community. Suddenly Jenner''s investigation is turning up grim traces of a nightmarish conspiracy—and with no one to trust and nowhere to turn, his only hope of survival is to walk away . . . something Jenner could never do.

Before the West was won, its frontier towns were shaped as much by saloons, gambling halls, and boomtown chaos as by the cold precision of men who lived by their guns. Lawless Echoes on Dusty Streets offers hobbyists a clear, well-organized reference guide to the real gunfighters who left their mark on the American frontier-stripping away myth to uncover documented history. This book catalogues the lives and reputations of notorious figures such as Wild Bill Hickok, Doc Holliday, Bill Doolin, and Clay Allison, while also spotlighting lesser-known pistoleros whose stories rarely reach mainstream histories. Entries detail the weapons they carried, the duels that forged their names, the town politics that fueled violence, and the shifting legal systems that blurred the line between lawman and outlaw. With structured sections, historical summaries, and evidence-based profiles, this reference volume allows readers to explore how frontier gunfighting actually worked: the unwritten rules, survival tactics, social dynamics, common misconceptions, and the cultural forces that turned ordinary men into legends. A practical, fact-driven resource, it's ideal for hobbyists who enjoy diving deep into the gritty realities of the Wild West.

The global financial system has enthusiastically embraced artificial intelligence, marketing it as an entirely objective, bias-free mechanism for evaluating creditworthiness. We are led to believe that cold mathematical logic has finally eradicated the human prejudice that plagued historical banking. However, beneath the polished corporate surface, these highly complex neural networks are actively learning and aggressively amplifying our darkest societal flaws. This investigation deconstructs the opaque, proprietary algorithms dictating modern economic mobility. By feeding historical lending data into machine learning models, financial institutions are covertly recreating the discriminatory zoning practices of the twentieth century. Because these automated systems rely on proxy variables like zip codes, digital purchasing habits, and social web connections, they ruthlessly deny capital to marginalized communities without ever explicitly referencing race or class. Dismantle the dangerous illusion of algorithmic neutrality. Uncover the terrifying legal loopholes protecting these predictive models from regulatory scrutiny, and understand the profound macroeconomic consequences of allowing unaccountable digital black boxes to unilaterally determine the financial destiny of millions.
