This book contains a wealth of information providing essential reading for all those interested in crime prevention, the motivation of different types of offenders and the effectiveness of various security measures. There has been little consideration of the extent, impact and patterns of crimes in the workplace. This important text suggests that such an omission is no longer justified and reflects the growing realization that effective responses to crime are based on the need to collect and share information.

A collection of the first three novels in the Vital Secrets series. Book of Secrets - How far will an FBI agent go to keep his fiancée safe? List of Secrets - Can a jaded cop prove 'accidental' deaths aren't accidental before others die? Web of Secrets - Someone's killing one co-ed a month in North Texas... The Vital Secrets is a suspenseful crime thriller series chronicling FBI profiler Nathan Thomas and his team’s cases, who capture serial killers while also juggling their personal and professional lives. While each suspenseful, riveting title in this series can be read as a standalone, readers will find maximum enjoyment if these full-length books are read in order - because while there are no cliffhangers, there is character growth over the series. If you enjoy the works of Elle Gray, Mary Burton, Lucinda Berry, Melinda Leigh and Pete Zacharias, the Vital Secrets series should make for a very enjoyable read! Vital Secrets 1-3 is perfect for readers who enjoy fast-paced, action-filled crime thriller novels that are brimming with unexpected twists and turns and feature FBI profilers.

I first encountered Ruth Chessman's work when browsing back issues of Manhunt magazine--and I was immediately intrigued. Manhunt was a noir/hardboiled digest-sized mystery magazine, and female bylines were uncommon. A quick check showed that she also published stories in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine as well as a 1965 middle-grade novel called "Bound for Freedom," which was adapted as a movie. She must have instilled her love of crime writing in her family, since her daughter turns out to be none other than mystery writer Jane K. Cleland -- who was kind enough to grant us permission to reprint her late mother's work. (Jane also supplied us with copies of hard-to-find stories.) Ruth Chessman was a very good, if far too infrequent writer. This collection assembles most of her published short fiction. Included are: ACCUSED THE SEARCH FOR A DEAD MAN'S BODY MURDER -- EARLY AMERICAN POOR SHERM THE HARRINGTON FARTHING IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE? THE PERFECT HUSBAND SILENTLY, SILENTLY THE CRIME THAT DID NOT FOLLOW If you enjoy this ebook, don't forget to search your favorite ebook store for "Wildside Press Megapack" to see more of the 260+ volumes in this series, covering adventure, historical fiction, mysteries, westerns, ghost stories, science fiction -- and much, much more!
