Assassins are born, never die from natural causes, and there is no such thing as an ex-CIA agent. He was a husband and father, and a man who'd made assassination an art form. The Central Intelligence Agency let him think that he had retired, and he believed them. He promised his wife that he was retired, and she believed him. His daughter wanted to learn the business. In an attempt to keep his family together and protect the country that he loves, Richard Edward Johnson desperately clings to what is left of his sanity as he stalks a man who is his mirror image, and finds that the people who need him most are the same people who want him dead.

Originally published as parts I and II of Lea's major historical work Superstition and Force, this volume discusses the limitations in the Middle Ages of what modern jurists would term private law, or civil cases, and the concept of imminent justice through divine intervention in determining the verdict.

Prescriptive law writings rarely mirror the ways a society practices law, a fact that raises special problems for the social and legal historian. Through close analysis of the laws of bailment (i.e., temporary safekeeping) in Exodus 22, Yael Landman probes the relationship of law in the biblical law collections and law-in-practice in ancient Israel and exposes a vision of divine justice at the heart of pentateuchal law. Landman further demonstrates that ancient Near Eastern bailment laws continue to influence postbiblical Jewish law. This book advances an approach to the study of biblical law that connects pentateuchal and ancient Near Eastern law collections, biblical narrative and prophecy, and Mesopotamian legal documents and joins philological and comparative analysis with humanistic legal approaches, in order to access how people thought about and practiced law in ancient Israel.

A lady out for vengeance collides with the one man that can stand in her way. The lady bent on vengeance. Lady Canton has a list. A list of men she is ruining, one by one. The work is satisfying—as each and every one of the despicable men deserves it—and if Livia has to bend the rules of propriety for success—so be it. What she doesn’t anticipate is a past love barging into her life, determined to stop her. The man that will stand in her way. Lady Canton threw him over years ago to marry a lecherous old fool for his title, so the last thing Lord Reggard wants is to entangle himself with her again. But when Livia threatens to ruin one of his best friends, Tieran is forced to take matters into his own hands to stop her. A second chance at first love. Livia never stopped loving him, and Tieran is intent on using that fact to his advantage. Never mind the callousness of his actions—his loyalty to Livia died years ago and he has no desire to revisit the past with her. Yet the past may be the one thing Tieran cannot escape, and he may very well discover he never stopped loving her as well. Join the adventure today!
