When mother-daughter scam artists set out on their final heist, the job
gets dangerously personal and deadly. . .
For all of Kat’s life, it’s been her and her mother, Jamie - except for
12 years ago, when Jamie was married for two days and Kat had a
stepbrother, Liam. But all that ended in a swift divorce.
Now Jamie is a jewel thief trying to go straight, but she has one last
job, at a billionaire's 80th birthday party. Neither Kat nor her mother
know about two surprise guests: Liam and his father, a serial scammer
with his own sights set on Ross Sutherland’s family.
Kat and Liam are on a collision course to disaster, and when someone
dies, the two teens realize they might be in the killer’s crosshairs.
They can’t trust anyone except each other.
Or can they? If there’s one thing both of them know, it’s how to be
such charming liars. . .
The world cries out for ethical leaders. We expect the best, but we
are often left profoundly disappointed. While leadership programs
may feature ethics as part of their curriculum, the approach
is often either simplistic or overly esoteric. This second
edition addresses this scarcity of resources for training
ethical leaders, providing a primer of several ethical
frameworks accompanied by extended examples to help inform
decision-making. It also addresses several leadership models
that claim an ethical component. The new edition
also includes new chapters on the ethics of care and toxic
leadership, and new case studies for all chapters. By
providing a consistent case analysis based on the Five Components
of Leadership Model, readers benefit from a comprehensive approach
to understanding ethical leadership. By using the Five Components
of Leadership Model as a consistent point of reference, McManus,
Ward, and Perry offer readers a variety of insights on ethical
leadership. Conclusions include the importance of drawing from
multiple ethical and leadership perspectives, moving away from
exclusively leader-centric approaches to ethical leadership, the
importance of asking questions to maximize self-awareness, and
considering multiple points of view whenever addressing an ethical
conundrum. To connect ‘ethical thinking’ and ‘ethical
doing,’ the text uses classroom-friendly framing questions,
timelines, visual models, summary tables, case studies, discussion
questions, and recommended resources for additional study. After
reading the book, students will bene?t from a foundational
understanding of theories and models of both ethics and leadership,
as well as a concrete view of what these theories and models look
like in practice. Professors will bene?t by having all of these
resources in one text, viewed through the lens of the Five
Components of Leadership Model. Striving to be both comprehensive
and approachable, this book is an excellent resource for
upper-level students studying leadership, especially those who are
new to philosophy or ethics. It is inclusive enough to serve as a
primary text or as a supplement for a well-rounded ethics or
leadership course.

Like Twain -- or more contemporary humorists Dave Barry and Garrison Keillor -- Patrick McManus shares the belief that life's eternal verities exist primarily to be overturned. In McManus's world, all steaks should be chicken-fried, strong coffee is drunk by the light of a campfire, and fishing trips consist of men acting like boys and boys behaving like the small animals we've always assumed they were. In this, the tenth hilarious collection of his adventures, wry observations, and curmudgeonly calls for bigger and bigger fish stories, McManus takes on everything from an Idaho crime wave to his friend Dolph's atomic-powered huckleberry picker to the uncertain joys of standing waist-deep in icy water, watching the fish go by.
Five students go to detention. Only four leave alive. For fans of
Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars, this is the perfect high
school thriller.Yale hopeful Bronwyn has never publicly broken a
rule.Sports star Cooper only knows what he's doing in the baseball
diamond.Bad body Nate is one misstep away from a life of crime.Prom
queen Addy is holding together the cracks in her perfect life.And
outsider Simon, creator of the notorious gossip app at Bayview
High, won't ever talk about any of them again.He dies 24 hours
before he could post their deepest secrets online. Investigators
conclude it's no accident. All of them are suspects.Everyone has
secrets, right?What really matters is how far you'll go to protect
them.
From bestselling author Patrick McManus comes the first mystery
starring Blight County sheriff, Bo Tully which Kirkus Reviews
called "one of the most entertaining debuts in years."Bo Tully,
sheriff of Blight County, Idaho--and a fellow who dropped twenty
pounds on Atkins--had been thinking about asking out Jan Whittle,
his grade-school sweetheart. Problem is, he's already promised to
celebrate his dad's seventy-fifth birthday with him. Thwarted
romance proves to be the least of Bo's problems, however, when a
dead body turns up on Batim Scragg's ranch. Forced to put on his
sleuthing hat, Bo finds himself faced with a whole slew of possible
suspects. And what quickly becomes apparent is that, while the
sheriff's investigative methods may not exactly be legal, they are,
for better or worse, The Blight Way. A bestselling author with more
than two million books in print, the curmudgeonly wit Patrick F.
McManus delivers a page-turning mystery filled with mirth and
misadventure set in hook-and-bullet territory.

From international bestseller, Karen McManus, comes the explosive
third and final thrilling instalment in the acclaimed One of Us...
series. Life hasn't been easy for the Bayview Crew. First they had
to prove they weren't killers. Then a new generation had to outwit
a vengeful copycat. Now, it's beginning again. At first the
mysterious billboard seems like a bad joke: Time for a new game,
Bayview. But when a member of the crew disappears, it's clear this
'game' just got serious - and no-one understands the rules.
Everyone's a target. And now that someone unexpected has returned
to Bayview, things are starting to get deadly. Simon was right
about secrets - they all come out in the end. Praise for One of Us
is Next: 'Given that her high-school-based murder mysteries read
like bingeworthy Netflix dramas, it's easy to see why queen of teen
crime Karen McManus is a bestseller on both sides of the Atlantic.'
- THE OBSERVER 'McManus keeps the juicy subplots ticking over and
drip-feeds reveals as clinically as an IV tube.' - THE GUARDIAN
Praise for One of Us is Lying: 'Tightly plotted and brilliantly
written, with sharp, believable characters, this whodunit is
utterly irresistible' - HEAT 'A fantastic murder mystery, packed
with cryptic clues and countless plot twists. I could not put this
book down' - THE SUN
