Adenomatous Polyps of the Colon: Pathobiological and Clinical
Features consolidates the vast body of basic science and clinical
data associated with adenomatous polyps of the colon, much of it
inspired by the realization that most colorectal carcinomas seem to
arise in such polyps. This book strives to evaluate these data,
with particular emphasis on their implications for management of
polyp-bearing subjects. Topics comprehensively explored include
anatomy and histology of the normal colon; pathologic
characteristics of adenomatous polyps, differential diagnosis, and
grading schemes for degree of dysplasia and villosity; adenomatous
polyposes; histologic and epidemiologic evidence for the malignant
potential of adenomatous polyps; and detection and management, with
special attention to endoscopy, endoscopic polypectomy, the
malignant polyp, and post-polypectomy surveillance schedules.
In Deal with the Devil, five-time Emmy Award-winning investigative
reporter Peter Lance draws on three decades of once-secret FBI
files to tell the definitive story of Greg Scarpa Sr., a Mafia capo
who "stopped counting" after fifty murders, while secretly
betraying the Colombo crime family as a Top Echelon FBI informant.
Lance traces Scarpa's shadowy relationship with the FBI all the way
back to 1960, when his debriefings went straight to J. Edgar
Hoover. In forty-two years of murder and racketeering, Scarpa
served only thirty days in jail thanks to his secret relationship
with the Feds. This is the untold story that will rewrite Mafia
history as we know it -a page-turning work of journalism that reads
like a Scorsese film. Deal with the Devil includes more than 130
illustrations, crime scene photos, and never-before-seen FBI
documents.
FIRST DEGREE BURN: It happens every day in the City. Gas is poured.
A match is lit. Building, bodies and dreams go up in flames. FDNY
Fire Marshal Eddie Burke walks among the wreckage. A different kind
of detective for a different kind of crime. When a fire rages in
SoHo a priceless mural from the 1930s is destroyed and a young
woman lies dead in the ashes. When the victim's abusive
ex-boyfriend is killed resisting arrest the NYPD closes the case.
But Eddie Burke, son of the former Chief of Detectives for the PD
can't let it go. He knows the arsonist was a pro, not a jealous
lover and that the torch is still out there. CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR
FIRST DEGREE BURN: "Eddie Burke is a fascinating new hero. He
blisters the pages. Smell the smoke. Feel the heat. First Degree
Burn is a winner." -Edna Buchanan "First Degree Burn should catch
fire at bookstores everywhere." -Wall Street Journal "Eddie Burke
comes at you like Popeye Doyle in 'The French Connection.'" - Sonny
Grosso, NYPD Detective (retired). "First Degree Burn is a
superlative, fast-paced roller-coaster, off-beat mystery featuring
Fire Marshal Eddie Burke who is called upon to find an arsonist in
a big, impersonal city populated with the good, the bad, and the
deadly " -Midwest Book Review "Eddie Burke leads a dangerous life.
Rough around the edges, trying to keep himself going after his wife
has divorced him, he lives in the shadow of his father, Big Eddie,
a decorated hero retired from the NYPD. In his family FDNY is only
second best. When a young art restorer dies in a suspicious fire in
her loft, Eddie is drawn into a series of fatalities involving a
WPA mural, a web of secrets and an aristocratic blonde from Sutton
Place who may hold the answers. "Lance, a former Emmy-winning ABC
journalist, paints a picture of the city that is rich in detail and
variety. The colliding worlds of rich and poor, parents and
children, cops and criminals, all come crashing together as he
closes in for the finish of this smashing debut. There's no
question -- Eddie Burke is here to stay." -Publisher's Weekly -

STRANGER 456 is ticking-clock thriller documenting of the hunt for
a serial killer named Axel who is harvesting bodies across all
victim classes in defiance of any profile the FBI has ever

is being pursued by Maddy Bergstrom a tenacious young Sheriff's
Deputy and Dr. T.C. Forbes, a veteran of the FBI's Behavioral
Analysis Unit at Quantico. In a page-turning thriller that begins
on an icy mountain road in Washington State and climaxes in Axel's
Midwestern lair, STRANGER 456 is unlike any take on the serial
killer genre you've ever read. By five-time Emmy-winning former ABC
News correspondent Peter Lance, the best-selling author of three
non-fiction investigative books on the FBI, STRANGER 456 will
shatter all the myths you've encountered about these bizarre
hunters of humans. Read more about the book and author at

"A chilling account of a killer who slipped through the hands of a
daft justice system....Triple Cross chronicles one of the most
vicious spies of our time."--Toronto SunIn the years prior to 2001,
no single agent of al Qaeda was more successful in compromising the
U.S. intelligence community than Ali Mohamed. For almost two
decades the former Egyptian army commando succeeded in living a
double life--marrying an American woman, becoming a naturalized
citizen, and infiltrating the CIA in Europe, the Green Berets at
Fort Bragg, and the FBI in California--even as he helped
orchestrate the campaign of terror that culminated in the 9/11
attacks. Triple Cross is award-winning investigative reporter Peter
Lance's chilling true account of the career of the master spy known
to his al Qaeda brothers as "Ali the American"--an explosive
narrative revealing the gaping holes in our nation's security net.
Finally, coming off his previous FBI expose, Cover Up, Lance also
chronicles the collapse of the Brooklyn murder trial of former FBI
agent Lin DeVecchio, a case that could well have revolutionized
public understanding of the background of 9/11.
