The Edge of Justice by Clinton McKinzie Pdf

Combining high-altitude climbing action with sizzling courtroom drama and raw tension, The Edge of Justice is a thriller like no other. Set amid the towering beauty of Wyoming’s mountains and the gritty underbelly of crime, here is a gut-wrenching debut novel that features one of recent fiction’s most original and complex heroes: Special Agent Antonio Burns--climber, cop, brother, son, risk-taker. A climber by nature, a cop by trade, Antonio has come to Laramie to investigate a young woman’s deadly plunge. But as he digs deeper into the case, Antonio is certain he has found a murder…and a stunning connection to the trial of two men about to be executed for a crime they did not commit. With a beautiful reporter sharing his investigation, he must make a harrowing ascent: up a forbidding mountainside--to bring a killer down from the deadliest kind of high.

An unexpected encounter puts Dathan Herulus into a dilemma. When he and his men corner a beautiful Lithian woman in her home, thinking they can have their way with her, they discover that she is far from helpless. Realizing that she's extending a moment of mercy to him, Dathan reconsiders his intentions and lets her escape. That brief encounter begins a gradual change in his patriotic belief that his nation's cause is honorable. This remarkable maiden is Brenna Velez. Later, she meets Garrick Ravenwood, a young Tamarian soldier. The way he treats her is unlike anything she's experienced among men outside her family, and she finds her heart overwhelmed with strong desire for his company, his considerate conversations, and his physical contact. Likewise, he is favorably impressed with her kindly attitude and intelligence. She is beautiful, but he would have loved her even if he'd been blind. These three characters reveal unique perspectives concerning ethical conduct as the story unfolds. Read about Dathan, Brenna and Garrick as their lives collide on The Edge of Justice.

The Justice Project by Michael Betcherman Pdf

High-school football star Matt Barnes was on the top of the world until a freak snowboarding accident ended his promising sports career and left him with a permanent limp. As he struggles to accept his changed body, Matt becomes depressed and isolated. Instead of college football camp, he faces a summer job at the local golf club. Then by chance Matt lands an internship at the Justice Project, an organization that defends the wrongly convicted. The other intern is his high-school nemesis, Sonya Livingstone, a quick-witted social activist with little time for jock culture. The two slowly develop a friendship as they investigate the case of Ray Richardson, who was convicted of murdering his parents twenty-one years ago. Matt and Sonya are soon convinced that Ray is innocent—but how will they prove it? Unraveling the cold case takes them on a journey filled with twists, turns, deception and danger. It will take dedication, perseverance and courage to unmask the real murderer. Can those same qualities help Matt move on to a life not defined by football?

Other Edge of Justice by Fletcher Douglas,Hushion House Publishing Pdf

One quiet weekend, a bad shipment of Ecstasy makes its way from California to the streets of the city. The major drug traffickers distribute the dangerous drugs through their usual channels to the lowly street dealers who let the poison loose on unsuspecting drug users all across the metropolitan area. Five high schools are devastated as many teenagers die and a number of students end up in extended care facilities with brain damage. Shortly after the students that died are buried, the local street dealers at each of the high schools are murdered, one after the other, and then their suppliers further up the drug hierarchy start losing their lives. Those traffickers at the higher echelons of the drug underworld are tracked down in Toronto, Ft. Lauderdale and Vail, Colorado and they are all killed in the same way. It's not long before the media and even the local police are calling the unsolved killings. The Oyster-Shucking Murders.

Forms of Justice by Daniel A. Bell,Avner de-Shalit Pdf

What is justice? Great political philosophers from Plato to Rawls have traditionally argued that there is a single, principled answer to this question. Challenging this conventional wisdom, David Miller theorized that justice can take many different forms. In Forms of Justice, a distinguished group of political philosophers takes Miller's theory as a starting point and debates whether justice takes one form or many. Drawing real world implications from theories of justice and examining in depth social justice, national justice, and global justice, this book falls on the cutting edge of the latest developments in political theory. Sure to generate debate among political theorists and social scientists, Forms of Justice is indispensable reading for anyone attentive to the intersection between philosophy and politics.

Queering Urban Justice by Jinthana Haritaworn,Ghaida Moussa,Syrus Marcus Ware,Gabriela (Rio) Rodriguez Pdf

Queering Urban Justice foregrounds visions of urban justice that are critical of racial and colonial capitalism, and asks: What would it mean to map space in ways that address very real histories of displacement and erasure? What would it mean to regard Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (QTBIPOC) as geographic subjects who model different ways of inhabiting and sharing space? The volume describes city spaces as sites where bodies are exhaustively documented while others barely register as subjects. The editors and contributors interrogate the forces that have allowed QTBIPOC to be imagined as absent from the very spaces they have long invested in. From the violent displacement of poor, disabled, racialized, and sexualized bodies from Toronto’s gay village, to the erasure of queer racialized bodies in the academy, Queering Urban Justice offers new directions to all who are interested in acting on the intersections of social, racial, economic, urban, migrant, and disability justice.

Charter Justice in Canadian Criminal Law by Don Stuart Pdf

"The fifth edition had to be substantially revised to reflect the impact of recent Supreme Court of Canada bellweather decisions in Grant and the companion decisions in Harrison and Suberu. These decisions require a new approach to the meaning of detention for Charter purposes and to the remedy of exclusion of evidence under section 24(2) of the Charter. Much of the voluminous prior jurisprudence on section 24(2) over the past 27 years relating to the meaning and consequences of conscripting the accused in violation of the Charter is now of little moment. New clarifications and new questions are identified."--Pub. desc.

Mirrors of Justice by Kamari Maxine Clarke,Mark Goodale Pdf

Mirrors of Justice is a groundbreaking study of the meanings of and possibilities for justice in the contemporary world. The book brings together a group of both prominent and emerging scholars to reconsider the relationships between justice, international law, culture, power, and history through case studies of a wide range of justice processes. The book's eighteen authors examine the ambiguities of justice in Europe, Africa, Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, and Melanesia through critical empirical and historical chapters. The introduction makes an important contribution to our understanding of the multiplicity of justice in the twenty-first century by providing an interdisciplinary theoretical framework that synthesizes the book's chapters with leading-edge literature on human rights, legal pluralism, and international law.

Simple Justice by John Morgan Wilson Pdf

It's 1994, an election year when violent crime is rampant, voters want action, and politicians smell blood. When a Latino teenager confesses to the murder of a pretty-boy cokehead outside a gay bar in L.A., the cops consider the case closed. But Benjamin Justice, a disgraced former reporter for the Los Angeles Times, sees something in the jailed boy others don't. His former editor, Harry Brofsky, now toiling at the rival Los Angeles Sun, pries Justice from his alcoholic seclusion to help neophyte reporter Alexandra Templeton dig deeper into the story. But why would a seemingly decent kid confess to a brutal gang initiation killing if he wasn't guilty? And how can Benjamin Justice possibly be trusted, given his central role in the Pulitzer scandal that destroyed his career? Snaking his way through shadowy neighborhoods and dubious suspects, he's increasingly haunted by memories of his lover Jacques, whose death from AIDS six years earlier precipitated his fall from grace. As he unravels emotionally, Templeton attempts to solve the riddle of his dark past and ward off another meltdown as they race against a critical deadline to uncover and publish the truth.
