One day a man arrives in town. Unassuming. Quiet. The assassin known as Victor is hiding out in a small motel in Canada after a job across the border. A few days laying low and he'll be gone and leave no trace behind.
He doesn't count on getting to know a mother and her boy who reminds him of his own troubled childhood. When both vanish, only Victor seems to notice. Once he starts looking for them, he finds himself at odds with the criminals who own the town.
They want him gone. Only Victor's going nowhere until he discovers the truth and to them he's just a quiet man asking the wrong questions.
But that quiet man is a dangerous man.
Now in its third edition, Woods and West's The Psychology of Work and Organizations provides students with a complete introduction to how psychology can help us to better understand the world of work and to change it for the better.
Work psychology has the potential to help people be more productive and prosperous in their jobs, to derive joy from work, flourish rather than languish as a result of their work lives, and to ensure the effectiveness and adaptability of work organizations. Ensuring organizations support environmental concerns, enable positive approaches to equality, diversity and inclusion, and achieve the benefits of new technologies are key themes of this new edition.
The authors address these issues with an engaging, optimistic and very accessible approach.

Perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and From Blood and
Ash. Book two in the Of Flesh & Bone series! Once, I fell in
love with a man who deceived me. For weeks, he stood by my side,
twisting his words into pretty half-truths. He enraptured me with
his smooth temptation, leaving no corner of my being untouched. He
consumed my mind and my body, then finally claimed my heart for
himself. But Caelum's true identity is terrifying enough to bring
me to my knees. Then, I discovered the truth of who he is. Caldris
is whispered in the Nothrek wind. The legend we only speak of with
hushed words, in shuttered rooms, for fear of drawing his wrath
once again. His intentions are a mystery, his desires impure, and
he seeks to shackle me to his side for all eternity. With the Wild
Hunt as our guard, he points us back to where it all began: the
village of Mistfell and the boundary where the Veil once shimmered
in the wind. Now, another secret crouches, poised to change
everything. The Mist Guard have been sworn to keep us from crossing
into Alfheimr, and from treading Faerie soil, even if innocents
must pay with their lives. They have orders to resurrect Mistfell's
shimmering barrier, but, once again, there's a greater cost than
what has been revealed. Once, the people of Northrek blamed me when
the Veil fell. Soon, they'll want me to pay the price the magic
requires.

An acclaimed, bestselling novel - a stunning work of political
fiction that reads like a thriller, about the rise to power of
Putin's notorious spin doctor He was known as the Wizard of the
Kremlin. The enigmatic Vadim Baranov was a TV producer before
becoming political advisor to Putin. After his resignation from
this position, legends about him multiply, without anyone being
able to distinguish truth from fiction. Until one night, he tells
his story to the narrator of this book... This story immerses the
reader at the heart of Russian power, where sycophants and
oligarchs have been engaging in open warfare, and where Vadim, now
the regime's main spin doctor, turns an entire country into an
avant-garde political stage. Yet Vadim is not as ambitious as the
others. Entangled in the increasingly dark secret workings of the
regime he has contributed to build, he will do anything to get out,
guided by the memory of his grandfather, an eccentric aristocrat
who survived the Revolution, and the mesmerizing, merciless Ksenia,
whom he has fallen in love with. From the war in Chechnya to the
invasion of Ukraine, The Wizard of the Kremlin is a great novel on
contemporary Russia, and a sobering meditation on power, which
takes the reader behind the scenes of the Putin era.
An original book offering a unique theoretical approach,
Re-examining Insolvency Law and Theory analyses the important role

insolvency, who consider the key conceptual influences that have
impacted insolvency law since the beginning of the 21st century.

overall philosophical considerations, theoretical criticisms of the

paradigms could be used to shift perspectives on insolvency
frameworks. Presenting a distinctive and conceptually holistic
approach, this erudite book provides an essential contribution to
an ever evolving area of legal research and practice. Re-examining
Insolvency Law and Theory is a crucial read for academics and
students interested in insolvency law both in the UK and

Perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and From Blood and
Ash. Once, we'd worshipped them as Gods. For nearly 400 years, the
Veil has protected us from the Fae of Alfheimr. In their absence,
our lives have shifted from decadence and sin to survival and
virtue under the guidance of the New Gods. I've spent my entire
life tending to the gardens next to the boundary between our
worlds, drawn to the shimmering magic like a moth to the flame.
Then, we died on their swords. All of that changes the day the Veil
shatters, unleashing the fae upon our world once again. The magic
of faerie marks those of us they mean to take, but the Mist Guard
protecting Nothrek will kill us all before they let the fae have
us. There's no choice but to flee everything I've ever known, not
if I want to live to see my twenty-first birthday as a free woman.
Now, they'll claim what's theirs. But before they capture me,
Caelum saves me from the Wild Hunt. Fae-marked and on the run, he
is able to fight back in ways I only dream of. From tentative
alliance to all-consuming passion, our bond strengthens as the fae
close in and evil lurks ever nearer. With my life on the line, he
is everything I shouldn't dare to want and a distraction I can't
afford. I can't seem to stay away, not even with something greater
on the line. My heart.

A lush fantasy retelling of Hansel and Gretel set in
seventeenth-century Germany, perfect for fans of Brigid Kemmerer,
Naomi Novik and Marissa Meyer. Almost twenty years have passed
since Greta and her brother Hans escaped the old woman's cottage in
the Black Forest, but there was no living happily ever after for
them. The war has taken its toll on these lands, husbands and sons
lost, a country impoverished. When the local Baron dies, his cruel,
young and beautiful wife raises taxes and a Blood Tithe, ensuring
that those who can't pay off their debts, pay through servitude.
Wolves are gathering around the village and a group of mercenaries
stalk the streets. A black bear has been sighted in the forest, but
an encounter with it leaves Greta puzzled by its gentle and
peaceful demeanour. Then there are the deaths; bodies have been
found in the woods, their blood taken, their hearts removed. As the
villagers become more desperate, whispers of witchcraft abound.
With Hans' gambling debts forcing him to take the Blood Tithe, only
the addictively-delicious gingerbread Greta makes - created with
the help of a book stolen when they escaped their childhood captor
- can offer a way out. But there's a price to pay for using this
blood skill, Tattermagic...and it could cost Greta everything,
unless she can find another way to beat the horrors from her past
and find a new path through the darkness... Set in the Black Forest
of Wurttemberg during the mid-17th Century, After the Forest is a
stunning meld of love-story, fairy-tale, magic and history which is
sure to appeal to fans of Naomi Novik, Rena Rossner and Kate
Forsyth.
