When I Kill You

In Trying . . . For 55 Years, Michael D. Schottland reflects on his distinguished five-decade career as a lawyer, offering an unparalleled look into the life of a legal professional who has seen it all.

From his first million-dollar verdict to landmark personal injury cases, and even controversial legal battles during the Vietnam era, Schottland's storytelling brings the raw and transformative experiences of the courtroom to life. This memoir blends legal insight with personal reflection, recounting how each case, whether a triumph or a setback, influenced his understanding of justice, ethics, and responsibility. Schottland's stories not only highlight the evolution of his own legal philosophy but also explore broader issues in the American legal system. For law enthusiasts, aspiring attorneys, or anyone interested in the human side of the law, Trying . . . For 55 Years is a compelling journey through one lawyer's quest for justice._

Clown in a Cornfield Movie Tie-in Edition

"The advancement of Black and other people of color in the workplace is collapsing as companies turn away from their promises of "racial reconciliation" made in 2020. This period saw a sharp rise in Black talent, from DEI managers to CEOs to junior-level hires. Now, in 2024, American employers are hemorrhaging these same employees, the direct result of an alarming retreat from the active creation of workplaces and leadership that reflect the nation's diversity. That retreat is characterized by underemployment, cracked glass cliffs, toxic work environments, and claims of "empty pipelines." More concerning, Black and other professionals of color often face greater scrutiny than their peers regarding job applications, work experience, and qualifications, forcing them to repeatedly prove their worth, intelligence, and even their right to be in the workplace. And that scrutiny has a name: competency checking. When in comes to hiring Black talent, the pipeline isn't broken; rather, it is the assumptions we make about who we consider employable. In Qualified, award-winning executive and journalist Shari Dunn combines deep research with enlightening interviews and anecdotes from across the broad spectrum of her career to uncover the history of competency checking, how it manifests in the workplace, and what can be done to change it. Competency checking, Dunn argues, continues to be practiced consciously and unconsciously and is the key reason why Black and other people of color are underrepresented in so many industries, and why there continues to be a revolving door of Black talent even after the hiring surges of 2020"--

Terrifying True Stories of the Most Notorious Men Throughout History

The World's Most Evil Men

Hank Idsinga, whose grandfather was murdered in the Holocaust, became the country’s leading homicide detective; he shares his insights into tracking down murderers and serial killers over his colourful and decorated thirty-year career. From the age of ten, Hank Idsinga knew he wanted to become a homicide detective, when he learned that his grandfather had been murdered by the Nazis in the Second World War. He prepared to be a police officer his entire youth and soon found himself in ill-fitting suits training for the job. More than competent—smart, incisive, caring, respectful—Idsinga won over his fellow officers and his superiors. He was as capable of tracking down a getaway man as he was informing a mother that her son, lost to crime, would never return home. Idsinga found himself at the center of some of the most notable crimes in recent Toronto history, from the Jane Creba shooting on Boxing Day to shootouts on Yonge Street to helping track down some of the most vicious serial criminals the city has ever seen. But it was in homicide that Hank Idsinga would prove such a vital asset to the Toronto Police Services. Idsinga teamed up with his partners, including future chief of police Mark Saunders, on many murder calls—some one-offs, others more nefarious—taking in the scene with his excellent recall, finding the motive and the method faster and more insightfully than most. Idsinga and his team of seasoned detectives participated in taking down some of the worst Toronto has to offer, perhaps none more so than serial killer Bruce McArthur, who had terrorized the gay village for years. Idsinga became the public face for that investigation, and despite the criticism of the police force’s handling of the murders, Idsinga always appeared strong and compassionate in front of the media’s camera flashes. The High Road breathes life into the true detective genre, with raw, accessible and punchy prose, as honest and compelling as the homicide detective himself. His grandfather would have been proud.

Don't miss the new laugh-out-loud thriller from L.M. Chilton, Everyone in the Group Chat Dies - a murder mystery that fuses the flatmate comedy of Friends with the serial-killer thrills of I Know What You Did Last Summer. Kirby Cornell needs a break from everything: - Her crumbling flat in the sleepy town of Crowhurst (famous for its award-winning sausage rolls and a second-rate serial killer from the 90s). - Her dead-end job. - Her sleazy landlord. - Her slobbish housemates. - And, most of all, the terrible thing they all did. Luckily, that hasn't caught up with her just yet. Until a new message on their old group chat pops up: Everyone in the group chat will die. It's the first text her ex-flatmate and social-media sleuth Esme has sent for ages, but that's not the really weird thing. The really weird thing is, Esme died twelve months ago... Praise for L.M.

INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * USA TODAY BESTSELLER"Brutal." —Huffington Post"Scathing." —New York Post"[D]epicts Biden's decline in vivid detail." —Politico“So many revelations.” —Joe Scarborough, co-host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe"Bombshell." —Jesse Watters, host of FOX’s Jesse Watters PrimetimeThe authors of the #1 New York Times bestseller Shattered provide a revelatory, inside look at the Biden, Harris, and Trump camps during the 2024 battle for the White House, arguably the most consequential contest in American history.The ride was so wild that it forced a sitting president to drop his re-election bid, a once and future president to survive felony convictions and a would-be assassin’s bullet, and a vice president, unexpectedly thrust into the arena, to mount an unprecedented 107-day campaign to lead the free world.&nbsp;Fight is the backstage story of the 2024 election and its bloodsport politics in their rawest form—the clawing, backstabbing, and rabble-rousing that drove Donald Trump into the White House and Democrats into the wilderness. At every turn, the combatants went for the jugular, whether they were facing down rivals in the other party or their own.&nbsp;Bestselling authors Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes give readers their first graphic view of the characters, their motivations, and their innermost thoughts as they battled to claim the ultimate prize in a defining moment for modern American politics. Based on real-time interviews with more than 150 insiders—from the Trump, Harris, and Biden inner circles, as well as party leaders and operatives—Fight delivers the vivid and stunning tale of an election unlike any other.In the end, Trump overcame voters’ concerns about his personal flaws by tapping into a deep vein of dissatisfaction with the direction of the country. At the same time, Democrats struggled to connect with an electorate that felt gaslit by Biden’s insistence that he had delivered economic prosperity—and his pledge to be a “bridge” president. He tore his party asunder, leaving destroyed personal relationships in his wake, as he clung to power. And when he gave it up, he kneecapped Harris by demanding unprecedented loyalty from her.As Allen and Parnes have done in the #1 New York Times bestseller Shattered and Lucky, they provide readers with a skeleton key to the rooms where this landmark political history happened, revealing a story more shocking than previously reported.<ul><li>Exclusive Access: Go behind the scenes with more than 150 insiders from the Trump, Harris, and Biden inner circles, revealing their private motivations and innermost thoughts.</li><li>A Historic Contest: Chronicles the unprecedented 107-day campaign that followed a sitting president dropping his re-election bid, a would-be assassin's bullet, and felony convictions.</li><li>Revelatory Reporting: Uncover the clawing, backstabbing, and secret deals that defined the battle for the White House, with details more shocking than previously reported.</li><li>Unfiltered Politics: Witness American bloodsport politics in its rawest form, as every combatant-in their own party and the opposition-goes for the jugular.</li></ul>

Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House

Using modernism as a lens, Stephen Brauer examines Americans’ understanding of criminality in the twentieth-century and how the powerful figure of the criminal is key to exploring cultures, social norms, and, ultimately, laws.

Contingency and Agency in Twentieth-Century America

Criminality and the Modern

A former public defender takes us behind the closed doors of America's criminal courts, revealing how the institutions that claim to protect us are doing the exact opposite—and offering a blueprint for finally fixing it. “A searing, compassionate, and utterly necessary book that pulls back the curtain with the clarity of a lawyer and the heart of someone who’s seen the criminal legal system’s devastating consequences up close.”—Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow As Americans, we are told a rose-tinted story about our criminal courts—that these are the hallowed halls of justice, that the purpose of our legal process is to find the truth, and that those who enforce the law are both equitable and heroic. But what if the reality is purposefully obscured to hide something rotten at the system’s core? In The Price of Mercy, attorney and former public defender Emily Galvin Almanza weaves hard data and unforgettable stories, dark humor and compelling evidence to tell us the truth about what’s really going on behind the closed doors of America’s criminal courts. She shows us how jails actually increase future crime, the dirty tricks police use to make millions in overtime pay, how a man could spend decades in prison because scientists mistook dog hair for his own, the perverse incentives that push prosecutors to seek convictions even when they themselves don’t want to, and how judges may decide cases differently after lunch. We’ll learn what’s working, too: how public defenders can improve public health and even economic mobility, and how planting more trees can reduce a neighborhood’s murder rates. But a lone defender winning a case won’t change the system. Galvin Almanza argues that we need an engaged public to confront the stark reality of our crime-generating, poverty-entrenching, health-destroying legal apparatus and rebuild it into something that can save our collective present and prevent our future from being torn apart. Provocative and eye-opening, The Price of Mercy lifts the curtain on the way our laws really operate and presents a path forward for true transformation of the American criminal court system. Justice, and the law itself, is not some static thing. It is something enacted together, decision by decision, in acts of inhumanity or mercy.
