Instead, he's met with a twitching body, hanging high and left for vultures. But in this town, there's no vulture hungrier than Judge Krueger. The judge's specialty isn't imposing old-fashioned justice on wrongdoers, though. This is outright lynching, and only the latest in a string of strung-ups. What's more, the suckers that Krueger and his Four Horsemen railroad all the way to the noose are innocent. It's time the Gunsmith cuts the ropes on these goons and stops the power-mad judge. And he'd better do it fast—because there's some tight twine and a high branch just waiting to snap the interloper's neck...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the time he served on the bench in Indian Territory, Judge Isaac Parker's court was famous throughout the world. Known as "the hanging judge," Parker was not the stereotype of the rough, fire-breathing frontier judge. He was articulate and impassioned about the rule of law.But he served at a time that epitomized the lawless Old West. With non-tribal whites pouring into the territory, a vicious crime wave swept the region. For two decades, Judge Parker's mission was to establish law and order. He did that in part by hanging eighty-eight men who appeared before his bench.For over one hundred years, this book has stood as the best chronicle of the Parker Court. It is vast in scope and thrilling in execution, there is something here for everyone from the True Crime reader to a law professor.See how justice was dished out in the Old West as seen through the eyes of the court.Every memoir of the American West provides us with another view of the migration that changed the country forever.

Book excerpt: From the author of The One-Eyed Judge: A New York Times–bestselling novel about a federal death penalty trial from the perspective of the presiding judge. When a drive-by shooting in Holyoke, Massachusetts, claims the lives of a drug dealer and a hockey mom volunteering at an inner-city clinic, the police arrest a rival gang member. With no death penalty in Massachusetts, the US attorney shifts the double homicide out of state jurisdiction into federal court so he can seek a death sentence. The Honorable David S. Norcross, a federal judge with only two years on the bench, now presides over the first death penalty case in the state in decades. He must referee the clash between an ambitious female prosecutor and a brilliant veteran defense attorney in a high-stress environment of community outrage, media pressure, vengeful gang members, and a romantic entanglement that threatens to capsize his trial—not to mention the most dangerous force of all: the unexpected. Written by judge Michael Ponsor, who presided over Massachusetts’s first capital case in over fifty years, The Hanging Judge explores the controversial issue of capital punishment in a dramatic and thought-provoking way that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It is “a crackling court procedural” (Anita Shreve) and “gripping legal thriller” (Booklist) perfect for fans of Scott Turow.

Book excerpt: This book develops a conceptual approach to understanding the face of contemporary terrorism as manifested in the recent attacks in Mumbai and Paris. By analyzing the historical evolution of terrorism and by offering case studies on different forms of terrorism in South Asia and elsewhere, the authors shed new light on the political strategies behind terrorist attacks, as well as on the motivations of terrorists. The case studies explore the redefinition of terrorism by the Iranian Islamic revolution, the spread of terrorism in Sunni Islam, the national jihadism in Pakistan, anti-Semitism as a main factor behind fanatical terrorist ideologies, and the case of the Tamil Tigers. "Redefining terrorism is a dynamic story that provides readers with intrigue and clarity to the ever-evolving threats that we face as a nation and as a global community. The authors masterfully navigate through the intricate maze of global terrorism bringing an overwhelming dose of reality through his usage of real life, gripping experiences. Through this book military and intelligence analysts and policy makers alike will gain first-hand knowledge about not only what the world looks like today but a glimpse into the future."US Congressman Pete Sessions

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book interrogates the various manifestations of rival systems of justice in the plays and films of Martin McDonagh, in analysis informed by the critical writings of Michael J. Sandel, Steven Pinker, Julia Kristeva, and in particular Amartya Sen on violence, justice, equality and the law. In McDonagh’s works, failures to investigate adequately criminal actions are matched by multiple forced confessions and umpteen miscarriages of justice. The author explores McDonagh’s creative worlds as ones where distinctions between victim and perpetrator and guilt and innocence are precarious, where the burden of truth seldom reaches the threshold of beyond reasonable doubt and where the punishments and rewards of justice are applied randomly. This project considers the abject nature of justice in McDonagh’s writing, with the vast implications of justice being fragile, suspect, piecemeal, deviant, haphazard and random. Tentative forms of justice are tempered and then threatened by provocative, anarchic and abject humour. As the author argues, McDonagh’s writing cleverly circulates rival, incompatible and comparative systems of justice in order to substantiate the necessities and virtues of justice.
