Until a chance assignment takes GBI investigator Will Trent to the state penitentiary, and to a prisoner who says he recognizes the MO. The attack looks identical to the one he was accused of eight years earlier. The prisoner's always insisted that he was innocent, and now he's sure he has proof. The killer is still out there. As Will digs into both crimes it becomes clear that he must solve the original case in order to reach the truth. Yet nearly a decade has passed - time for memories to fade, witnesses to vanish, evidence to disappear. And now he needs medical examiner Sara Linton to help him hunt down a ruthless murderer.

Blood of the Breed
By Olsen, T. V.
Ike Banner had suffered a great deal of pain in his life and had always come through it. But nothing could match the pain his three sons caused him. Just as he had in life, Ike was determined to curb his sons' wrong-headedness after his death. He was sure he had been fair in his will and had done right by his claimed -- and unclaimed -- sons. What Ike Banner couldn't control was the fury of thwarted dreams and the violence born of hate and jealousy. For the land that had bred a rough, frontier morality in Ike had destroyed the same morality in his sons. In its place festered a need to possess -- if not by right of sweat, then by right of blood. And they would defend what was theirs by any means that came to hand -- be it a bullwhip, a torch, or a shotgun.

Infectious Generosity
By Anderson, Chris
Perhaps the simplest, most powerful moral question you can ask of your life is: 'Am I a net giver, or a net taker?'As head of TED for the past 20 years, Chris Anderson has had a ringside view of the world's most significant thinkers sharing their boldest ideas across every imaginable discipline. Yet there's a single theme that stands out in his mind as the essential connecting thread: generosity. It may seem simple, but generosity has played a key role in building the tools, knowledge, and institutions that have allowed civilisation to flourish. Now, in our unsettled modern world, beset by disruption and division, Anderson believes our collective future depends on reconnecting to this vital human trait. In this profound and inspiring book, Anderson shows how the same technologies that have been a catalyst for negativity can be turned into an exponential force for good - to create chain reactions of generous behaviour.
