Has Dr Felix Culpepper, freelance assassin to the British Establishment, finally met his match? Few other Cambridge Fellows have quite Felix's experience of life, or of death. Now he takes a break from his unofficial role as assassin of choice to the British Establishment to right some wrongs and eliminate some rival killers on his own account. From New York to Venice, he cheerfully takes on the international aristocracy of murder. But then, amid the fragrant mellowness of England's heartwoods, he faces a more disturbing - and violent - moral dilemma than ever before.

The second part of the misdemeanours of Dr Felix Culpepper. When there are high crimes to be covered up, mysteries to be wrapped up in enigmas, or a murderer to be liquidated - literally - there is only one man in England who can be trusted with the task: Felix Culpepper, tutor in Classics at St Wygfortis College, Cambridge, and assassin-at-large for the British Establishment. From the eerie deserts of New Mexico to the high-rolling hotels of the Adriatic, Culpepper moves with consummate ease and an unexpected penchant for guns, drugs and esoteric methods of murder - all to save himself from the drudgery of cramming Latin into the privileged yet empty skulls of the dregs of Britain's aristocracy. With an intellectual vanity that rivals Holmes, more self-esteem than Bond and a blood-steeped amorality that out-Ripleys Hannibal Lector, Culpepper is the ideal hero for our debased days. And only in his student, side-kick (and pending Nemesis) Margot ffontaines, does he meet his match. Parricide follows Quintember.

One of the greatest challenges military commanders face in the planning and execution of warfare is minimizing the fog of war. That gray area in which there is a knowledge gap of what the adversary is going to do at a given time or place, or how ones#65533; own forces will react to a given scenario during a campaign. The great military strategist Carl Von Clausewitz, in his work On War, described this phenomenon as an uncertainty that is present in three quarters of the factors on which action in war is based, and as such results in war being a realm of chances. In an effort to mitigate this uncertainty, commanders have historically relied on intelligence collection as one of the primary means for establishing better battlefield situation awareness.

Behind the mask of "cool"--a clear-eyed look at how African American inner-city youths defend themselves against the indignities, inequities, and injuries of ghetto life--a pose that leads to the real alienation of these young men from both the white world and their own communities.
