Boy-genius Cadel Piggot has a new name (Cadel Greenaius), a new family, and a new life. No more illegal hacking, no more false identities, and most of all, no more Prosper English.

Before he knows it, Cadel is crossing oceans and continents, barrelling back into the depths of the criminal activity he thought he'd left behind, and coming face to face with Prosper English once again. Can Cadel track down Prosper before it's too late? And what rules will he have to break in the process?

Southern Cross Crime by Craig Sisterson Pdf

Australian and New Zealand crime and thriller writing - collectively referred to as Southern Cross Crime - is booming globally, with antipodean authors regularly featuring on awards and bestseller lists, such as Eleanor Catton's Booker Prize winning The Luminaries and Jane Harper's big commercial hit, The Dry, winner of the CWA Gold Dagger Award. Hailing from two sparsely populated nations on the far edge of the former Empire - neighbours that are siblings in spirit, vastly different in landscape - Australian and New Zealand crime writers offer readers a blend of exotic and familiar, seasoned by distinctive senses of place, outlook, and humour, and roots that trace to the earliest days of our genre. Southern Cross Crime is the first comprehensive guide to modern crime writing from "Down Under". From coastal cities to the outback, leading critic Craig Sisterson showcases key titles from over 250 storytellers, plus screen dramas ranging from Mystery Road to Top of the Lake. Fascinating insights are added through in-depth interviews with some of the prime suspects who paved the way or instigated the global boom, including Michael Robotham, Paul Cleave, Emma Viskic, Paul Thomas, Candice Fox, and Garry Disher. 'Southern Cross Crime is informative, knowledgeable, wide ranging. If you have any ideas about writing a crime novel you need to read it, if you enjoy reading crime novels, you need to read it, if you simply love reading, you need to read it. This is not a dry as dust tome - the writer's encyclopaedic knowledge is carried lightly... a box of the finest literary chocolates' - Renée Taylor, 2018 recipient of the Prime Minister's Award for Literary Achievement in Fiction 'A valuable and illuminative resource for crime fiction fans everywhere' - Book'd Out

The Big Karma Law Firm by Bob Waterstripe Pdf

Savage satire that reads like binge-watching a hilarious dark dystopian action series. The Big Karma Law Firm files $18 billion of Texas vigilante abortion lawsuits, funded by millions of vengeful donors to non-profit Punish Baby-Killers. In other news, Big Karma battles fossil fuels, banks, insurance companies, the Pharma Cartel, and other malefactors. Native American news anchor Diana Dakota helps the new owners of MAXNEWS enact a $10 Million Truth Guarantee and achieve #1 ratings. The guaranteed truth is more outrageous than any conspiracy theory. One example: how “donors” to Members of Congress and Senators earn 60,000% annual returns on their bribes. Another: how a New York Times article in 1970 led to the top 1% of Americans sucking over $50 trillion in wealth from the bottom 90%, about $167,000 for every American in the 90% today, including little babies. All of this is just part of 33-year-old Fort Sumter’s Plan to Save the World. Now he and his team have the billions they need for the next step, using money in politics — to end money in politics. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court continues to consign human rights to the mercy of state legislatures. Thousands of women and girls die from routine complications of pregnancy while saving them would put doctors in prison. 10-year-old girls are forced to carry rape babies or die trying. Red states enforce travel bans for pregnant people and protective custody for fetuses. Non-profit No Rights No Nookie (NRNN) helps millions of women to legally ban sex in their relationships and advises on humane lethal enforcement techniques that keep blood off your nice duvet. Suicide by rape is now a thing. Men are left to take matters into their own hands. With no restrictions on firearms, mass shootings outpace gun sales. Red states scramble to copy Texas’ Good Kids With Guns Act, arming kids in classrooms. First-person mass shooter videos in slow motion set to music get over 5 billion views per day on Bullet Ballet. Drought, floods, fires, hurricanes, and heat domes create millions of American climate refugees, adding to the rush of economic and political refugees from Red states. Then, just months before an election, 170 million American women find out that the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was never ratified. What else could go wrong? Turns out, plenty.
