Tiger Price, a.k.a TP, takes on his first investigative case after retiring from the prison system. The doors of his new business have been open less than an hour when he receives a package from lifelong friend Paul Peck, with photographs depicting a gruesome murder scene. Paul's son is on trial for murder, and he hopes his old friend can help prove his son's innocence. Tiger is wedged within the confines of a courtroom as he desperately tries to present the court with proof that his best friend's son is innocent of murder. Tiger tangles with judges, district attorneys, court clerks, and a shrewd DA investigator before reaching the core of his case. As he takes his investigation to the streets of Los Angeles, he encounters bums, hookers, drug dealers, and street gangsters. This dark counter-culture is filled with danger and deceit. In the midst of his investigation, Tiger Price joins forces with an unlikely partner who is properly equipped to infiltrate the venomous streets of Los Angeles. Tiger Price is relentless in his investigation, hoping that an innocent verdict can be reached.

A wide range of new scholarship on Chaucer's poetry. This collection of essays makes available a wide range of new scholarship on Chaucer's poetry. Opening essays address the issues of "Chaucerian representation" and "Chaucerian poetics", arguing for the multiplicity and complexityof what Chaucer "represents" and for the importance of his dual Anglo-French background in enabling him to articulate that complexity. Chaucer's use of Ovidian and Ciceronian sources and ideas is examined, and his pursuit of simplicity and suspicion of "delicacy"; the potent issues of sexuality and spirituality, and money and death (with Chaucer's own ending and his thoughts on last things) complete the collection.

"Early Civilizations in the Americas: Biographies and Primary Sources" presents a collection of twenty-three biographies and primary sources---both text and photographs of artifacts---that provide detailed and focused views of the people of the early American civilizations, the artifacts they left behind, and the sources upon which the history of the early American civilizations are based. The volume is divided into three chapters: the Incas, the Mayas and their Ancestors, and the Aztec Empire. Each chapter is arranged loosely by topic and chronology. The biographies include Inca emperor Pachacutec, Maya king Pacal, and Aztec emperor Montezuma II. The primary sources feature artifacts such as the Inca quipu, or knotted counting cords, the Maya sacred calendar, and the Aztec Sun Stone. Also included are excerpts from the memoirs and histories compiled by indigenous writers and Spanish missionaries and conquerors in the decades following the conquest.

Each volume includes approximately 30 entries on long-term ethnic, religious, political, territorial and economic conflicts between nations today.
