This thoroughly revised and updated text is about the circumstances in which people kill one another. Authored by renowned experts, WILL TO KILL, THE: MAKING SENSE OF SENSELESS MURDER, 4/e reviews homicide laws, introduces theories purporting to explain murder, and presents up-to-date statistical data identifying homicide patterns and trends. It covers topics ranging from domestic and workplace homicide to cult and hate killings; murder committed by juveniles to serial slayings. Finally, it examines criminal justice responses to homicide, including the strategies and tactics employed to apprehend, prosecute, and punish killers. Virtually every chapter in this edition has undergone significant revision. In particular, this edition reflects recent legislative changes and Supreme Court decisions, includes new case examples, and contains extensively expanded discussions of family and school homicide.

(A former angel, punished by God, chained in darkness, is ...)
A former angel, punished by God, chained in darkness, is rising from the dark depths below an old Victorian house. An ancient evil is whispering a dark curse into the shadows, bent on vengeance against God. The conversion of mankind into an army of shadow demons is the first step to its evil reckoning. It is now a commander of the whispering darkness. It is relentless. It is unstoppable. Patty Wilson turns the town eyesore into an orphanage, hoping to turn the house everyone thought haunted, into something good hearted and very positive. Nevertheless, evil is whispering amid the shadows, and it is growing stronger every moment. Turning humans into shadow demons to defy God is only the beginning to its evil plan. Now Patty, and an oddball group, just may be the only hope for stopping evil and saving the world from a shadowy Armageddon.

In the latest from the author of Murder, Served Simply, an Amish man checks out permanently, but quilt shop owner Angie Braddock’s got this mystery covered… With so much to do between running her shop and spending time with her new boyfriend, it’s amazing Angie is able to help organize the Rolling Brook library's annual book sale. Luckily she’s working alongside brash librarian Austina Shaker, a lady who isn’t afraid to make waves to get books to her patrons—even the Amish. Unfortunately, this draws the ire of cranky Bartholomew Belier, an Old Order Amish bishop, who publicly vows to ruin Austina. And she certainly might be ruined after Belier is found dead in her bookmobile. Now Angie must employ the help of her loyal quilting circle—as well as her beloved French bulldog, Oliver—if she hopes to prove Austina’s innocence before the real killer books it… INCLUDES QUILTING TIPS
