Nicholas Brandon - tall, powerful, handsome; he runs his elite
operatives with a master's touch. Cool and collected, his
steel-gray eyes give no hint of the wild emotions seething beneath
the elegant, enigmatic face he shows the world. Marsh Donovan -
rich, influential, powerful; his wealth and shrewd business ability
were not enough to keep his family safe from disaster. Lisa
Donovan- Marsh's beautiful, sunny-natured, vivacious daughter,
pampered and innocent, her life was a fairytale until she was
abducted, held captive, raped and tortured. Can she ever escape her
tormenters and return from the brink of madness to salvage any part
of her life and learn to live without her lost love? Trippy -
Nick's top operative; elusive, arrogant and mysterious. Despite his
ragingly beautiful, angelic looks, his lethal intelligence and
ruthless, brutal nature keeps anyone from getting too close and
discovering his terrible secret past. Fate brings them all together
in a headlong crash that will change their lives forever.

The expansion of degrees and postgraduate qualifications on
policing has come hand in hand with the need for a more scholarly
and research-based approach to the subject. Students are
increasingly encouraged to apply research to practice and this book

The expanding remit of policing as a fundamental part of the public
health continuum is increasingly acknowledged on the international
scene. Similarly the growing role of health professionals as
brokers of public safety means that the need for scholarly
resources for developing knowledge and broadening theoretical
positioning and questioning is becoming urgent and crucial. The
fields of law enforcement and public health are beginning to
understand the inextricable links between public safety and public
health and the need to shift policies and practices towards more
integrated practices. This book comes as a first, an utterly timely
scholarly collection that brings together the views of
multidisciplinary commentators on a wide range of issues and
disciplines within the law enforcement and public health (LEPH)
arena. The book addresses the more conceptual aspects of the
relationship as well as more applied fields of collaboration, and
the authors describe and analyze a range of service delivery
examples taken from real-life instances of partnerships in action.
Among the topics covered: Defund, Dismantle or Define Law
Enforcement, Public Health, and Vulnerability Law Enforcement and
Mental Health: The Missing Middle The Challenges of Sustaining
Partnerships and the Diversification of Cultures Using Public
Health Concepts and Metrics to Guide Policing Strategy and Practice
Policing Pandemics Law Enforcement and Public Health: Partners for
Community Safety and Wellbeing is essential reading for a wide
array of professions and areas of expertise in the intersectoral
field of LEPH. It is an indispensable resource for public health
and law enforcement specialists (practitioners, educators,
scholars, and researchers) and training programs across the world,
as well as individuals interested in developing their knowledge and
capacity to respond to complex LEPH issues in the field, including
public prosecutors, coroners, and the judiciary. The text also can
be used for undergraduate and postgraduate university policing,
criminology, sociology, psychology, social work, public health, and
medicine programs.
