In 1934, a backyard auto mechanic, his dullard brother, and an M. I. T. graduate fleece the Massachusetts State Police at a Boston auto show when the trio steals a Thompson submachine gun from an exhibit. Days later, the bandits turn the weapon on hostages used as human shields, while killing two police officers during a bank heist in the sleepy suburb town of Needham. For the first time in Massachusetts history a machine gun has been used in a crime. It is yet another job during a ruthless deluge of bloodshed which leaves two more citizens dead and a pair of taxi cab drivers caged in a courtroom surrounded by a legion of vengeful witnesses on the verge of convincing a jury to sentence the friends to death by electrocution. Mired by political motivation and turmoil within an unorganized police force, tenacious detectives, known as "The Four Aces", find themselves clashing with more than just gangsters. Now, two rival crime reporters must combine wits to piece together the truth under the weight of competition between the city's mightiest newspapers. Against them are the tick of time, deficient evidence, and the indifference of cold blooded killers.

Robert Wallace's theological thesis 'The Doctrines of Predestination, Reprobation, and Election' examines these contentious ideas in Christian belief. The book examines the different interpretations and conflicts that have surrounded these beliefs over the years as it digs into the historical backdrop of those teachings. Wallace offers a thorough examination of each theory, looking at its biblical foundations and theological ramifications. The book also examines how these ideas might be interpreted philosophically and ethically, particularly in regard to issues of divine sovereignty, justice, and free choice. The author invites readers to engage with these difficult theological concepts on a deeper level by offering a thoughtful and nuanced exploration of them.

My hands were crossed and tied at the front. I moved awkwardly, unnaturally, with them like that. I knew the Italian would have me in the crossed hairs of his sights. And every muscle in my body was waiting for the crack, the thump of the first bullet finding its target. Essington Holt is out for revenge. The Australian millionaire and sometime art forger has been kidnapped, humiliated, mutilated and exchanged for three million dollars and a valuable painting. Now he wants to bring the criminals to justice - privately. Praise for Essington Holt novels: 'The Aussie equivalent of Jonathon Gash's Lovejoy ... I personally prefer the more polished Essington ... I hope he sticks around.' - St. Louis Post-Dispatch'...the real cachet of these novels is their thrusting style, at once rawly droll and painfully perceptive.' - Stephen Knight, Sydney Morning Herald'...bouyant and humorous, which makes the violence Essington seems to attract all the more vicious. A marvellous thriller.' - Liverpool Daily Post

I dragged my captive up against the wall and set about choking him. I was just that much bigger than he was, it was easy. Particularly with the gun turned around now, and sticking into his stomach... Robert Carbentus's exotic past and claims to own a van Gogh had always fascinated Essington Holt and the chance to meet him was opportune. Curious as to why Robert had broken a thirty-year silence, Essington visits the Carbentus home in Amsterdam, and straight into danger. Is there a priceless van Gogh hidden amongst Robert's possessions? The third tale of Holt - art forger and detective, an Australian in France. Essington Holt... a brilliant, bitter creation. - Time OutThe settings... are charming. So is the writing... I'm looking forward keenly to Essington's next outing. - The Australian
