Book Description
Mutilated bodies of young women are being deposited about the city. The police are top heavy, understaffed and indifferent. Something should be done, however. People are encountering corpses in strange places. And complaining about it. So private security firm CORE is asked to step in. Investigate. If possible, dispatch the perpetrators. Who better to follow up the assignment than rugged contractor Mitch Milligan? Ex-hockey enforcer and partyboy thug. Just about anyone, actually. Because Milligan's true forte is terrorgating those citizens CORE has determined need their heads screwed on tighter. That includes Islamic fanatics, government dickheads, loudmouth women and bad engineers. It's a great job, he loves doing it, and he's good at it. Too good. He gets promoted. So, with the aid of new partner Yaz Maeda, acting detective Magnet Milligan sets out in half-assed fashion to find the killer or killers. Despite failing to follow up several promising leads, the team learn a shadowy organization known as The Ovarians may be responsible. After that, it's a full-on ride of madness and mayhem. Obvious clues are finally acted on, villains turn tummy up, and an evil rat takes the long bath in Florida. Mitch Milligan and the CORE crew. They get things done, undercover or under the covers.

Book Description
Twenty-nine-year-old Rayann Germaine, betrayed by her lover, flees in grief and rage. She meets book store owner Louisa Thatcher, a woman many years her senior, who offers shelter and work... and soon, passion, and a loving place in her life. But Rayann encounters challenges to this new love—from friends who question its wisdom, from her mother who disapproves of this liaison with a woman her own contemporary, from Louisa's son who learns for the first time his mother's true sexuality. And there are profound differences between Rayann and Louisa themselves, two women who come from dramatically different places in the spectrum of age and life experience. Their only common ground seems to be the searing attraction that they both try to deny...

Book Description
Jeffrey S. Rosenthal, author of the bestseller Struck by Lightning: The Curious World of Probabilities, was born on Friday the thirteenth, a fact that he discovered long after he had become one of the world’s pre-eminent statisticians. Had he been living ignorantly and innocently under an unlucky cloud for all those years? Or is thirteen just another number? As a scientist and a man of reason, Rosenthal has long considered the value of luck, good and bad, seeking to measure chance and hope in formulas scratched out on chalkboards. In Knock on Wood, with great humour and irreverence, Rosenthal divines the world of luck, fate and chance, putting his considerable scientific acumen to the test in deducing whether luck is real or the mere stuff of superstition.
