Frank Collins, an ambitious Senator, is pushing legislation towards accepting and passing his proposed 'Swift Justice' bill. Senator Collins' solution to the problems inside the penal system would abolish the sentence of life behind bars and mandate the death penalty for any capital crime. The bill outrages many and talks of ruling it as unconstitutional flow through Capitol Hill. Sure to be vetoed by Congress, fate deals a wild card. Swift Justice miraculously survives and the bill soon becomes law.With the fall of the nation's crime rate comes the rise of Frank's popularity and a potential bid for the Presidency. However, Frank falls prey to the very system he reformed. Now, his political career and even his life hang in the balance of his own 'Swift Justice.'

The Supermarine Swift was rushed into service with the RAF during 1954 to become Britain's first second-generation jet fighter. In this role it was not deemed a success and has been burdened with a bad reputation since that time. It was eventually replaced by the famous Hawker Hunter that had been extensively delayed because of teething troubles. This book covers the development and operational history of a vital aircraft that is a part of aviation legend.

Swift Justice is a Lefty Award finalist for best humorous mystery. Charlotte "Charlie" Swift prefers working alone. That's why after eight years as an Air Force investigator she became a PI rather than a cop. She lives alone, she works alone, and aside for the occasional flirtation with sexy cop Connor Montgomery or her hunky neighbor Father Dan, she likes it that way. Then her silent partner flees the country, leaving his wife, Gigi, with nothing but the house, the Hummer, and a half interest in Swift Investigations. Charlie ends up with a heap of debt and Gigi, who has decided to be a not-so-silent partner. This change comes about while Charlie is trying to find the mother of a baby abandoned on a client's doorstep. While following leads, she sends Gigi out on crazy assignments, hoping that the pampered socialite will be driven to quit. However, when the baby's mother turns up dead, there's a murderer on the loose, and Charlie will need all the help she can get.

Following his homecoming from serving in the Vietnam War, Kevin Thomas becomes a police officer patrolling the metropolitan streets of the North West City of Portland, Oregon. He is living the kind of life every man dreams of as he enjoys the job as a police officer, as well as a husband to his loving wife, Linn. Things are going great for Sergeant Thomas until he becomes a prime target by two North East side gangs who make their money selling illegal drugs and providing Portland with prostitutes. The members of the Strife organization team up with their street rivals, called Strangle Hold, to rid themselves of the hotshot cop they refer to as Blue Hawk, so he can no longer arrest them or shoot them in self-defense. What the neighborhood thugs don't know is how very skilled and dangerous Kevin can be when he is pushed to the limit! This is the sequel to the book Dangerous Affair.

Justice Performed: Courtroom TV Shows and the Theaters of Popular Law is the first study of the reality TV genre to trace its theatrical legacy, connecting the phenomenon of the daytime TV shows to a long history of theatrical trials staged to educate audiences in pedagogies of citizenship. It examines how judge TV fulfills part of law's performative function: that of providing a participatory spectacle the public can recognize as justice. Since it debuted in 1981 with The People's Court, which made famous its star jurist, Judge Joseph A. Wapner, dozens of judges have made the move to television. Unlike the demographics in actual courts, most TV judges are non-white men and women hailing from diverse cultural and racial backgrounds. These judges charge their decisions with personal preferences and cultural innuendos, painting a very different picture of what justice looks like. Drawing on interviews with TV judges, producers and production staff, as well as the author's experience as a studio audience member, the book scrutinizes the performativity of the genre, the needs it meets and the inherent ideological biases about race, gender and civic instruction.

Murder has a long and distinguished history in San Francisco. The city and its Bay Area can stand proudly with Paris, London, and New York in the splendour of its misdeeds -- murders that have suspense, horror, audacity, and flair. The homicides chronicled in Murder by the Bay have been selected because a convergence of personality, circumstance, character, and geography makes them peculiarly San Franciscan. Each of these crimes illustrates an historic importance, each has impacted its times -- either in the course or application of the law or in the manner in which the affair revealed a shortcoming in society. They range from the Montgomery Street killing of James King of William, editor of the Daily Evening Bulletin, in 1856 to the sensational trial of early movie comedian Fatty Arbuckle who was accused of killing a showgirl at a party in the St. Francis Hotel to the shocking "City Hall Murders" in which former city supervisor Dan White killed Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk. Most were solved, some were not. They are murders that fascinated the city and frequently the country, sometimes for weeks, often for years and even decades.
