Synopsis Court of Lies by : Gerry Spence

From Gerry Spence, one of America’s greatest trial attorneys and the New York Times bestselling author of How to Argue and Win Every Time, comes an explosive courtroom thriller of murder, passion, and the twists and treachery of law and justice. Gerry Spence is one of the greatest trial lawyers of our time. He has not lost a jury trial in fifty years and has never lost a criminal or a capital case. He has also represented many celebrated defendants and appeared on countless national TV talk shows. Spence now presents us with beautiful Lillian Adams, who is going on trial for the murder of her wealthy husband before Judge John Murray. The prosecutor, Haskins Sewell, however, is consumed by political ambition. He plans to advance his own career by framing Lillian for murder one and by railroading the judge into prison. A fast-paced, up-all-night courtroom thriller, Court of Lies is also a harsh indictment of today’s legal system. The country has 2.3 million people behind bars and 7.5 million more on parole or probation. A major reason for so much mass incarceration is the dominance of politically motivated prosecutors, who over-sentence defendants for the sake of winning votes in their own elections and advancing their careers.

Synopsis Court of Lies by : Gerry Spence

From Gerry Spence, one of America’s greatest trial attorneys and the New York Times bestselling author of How to Argue and Win Every Time, comes an explosive courtroom thriller of murder, passion, and the twists and treachery of law and justice. Lillian Adams is going on trial for the murder of her wealthy husband before Judge John Murray, to whom she has been like a daughter since childhood. Despite this long, shared history, both the prosecutor and defense attorney agree that Murray should sit on the case, and Murray himself knows he must. For he believes that if he steps down and another judge is appointed, there will be little hope for Lillian. The prosecutor is a sadistic psychopath who will pervert the law to convict Lillian and do everything in his power to hurt Judge Murray. And Murray must save Lillian. Gerry Spence takes readers through shocking twists and suspenseful courtroom scenes that only the great maestro of the courtroom himself could create. Court of Lies goes beyond being a great legal thriller. It questions the very basis of our legal system and its ability to discover the truth and deliver justice.

Synopsis Princess of Shadows by : Olivia Hart

Wanted by a Queen. Hunted by an assassin. Stolen by a Dark Prince. Yesterday, I was just a normal girl trying to survive college. Except that normal girls don't walk through mirrors and meet the man sent to kill them. Now I'm being dragged kicking and screaming into a world where nothing makes sense. Sebastian, my dark and mysterious captor, promises to protect me. But how can I trust someone who can sneak into my dreams? Someone who hungers for the untouched parts of me. Sebastian claims I could be the next Dark Queen of the Fae. He says I have powers, that I'm immortal... and that he's the only one I can trust. He's arrogant and bossy, but I might have to trust him in a world where shadows are gateways to other worlds. Where every gift has a price, and where the man in black might turn out the hero. Everyone in this new world is trying to murder me. If I'm to survive, I have to embrace the shadows and become more than human. I have to become something stronger. Something darker. Something they're afraid of. Princess of Shadows is the first book in the three book series, Court of Lies. It is packed with magic, adventure, and a slow-burn romance. *Contains swearing and mature themes*

Synopsis Heir of Gold by : Olivia Hart

Not all sins are forgivable, and not every wound can heal. I was a simple human girl when Sebastian, the Prince of Shadows, stole me away and thrust me into a world where magic is real. Where danger lurks around every corner. A place where a normal girl could become Queen because her wings are black. Nothing is ever as simple as it seems. Especially when it comes to the Fae courts. A twisted web was woven a thousand years ago, and now its dark secrets are being exposed. Secrets that will shatter the reality that I've built around me. Around Sebastian. The wounds of the past will be ripped open, but my pain won't compare to Sebastian's when Seraphina gets her hands on him. Nothing will ever be the same now that I'm learning of his past. Soon, everything will come to light. One painful memory at a time, I'll walk this path of truth, and in the end, I don't know what I will find. I'll have to decide where my allegiance and love will fall when everything is laid bare. When I find out just how twisted that web of lies was woven. Will the gift of love be worth the sacrifice?

Synopsis Lies the Government Told You by : Andrew P. Napolitano

YOU’VE BEEN LIED TO BY THE GOVERNMENT We shrug off this fact as an unfortunate reality. America is the land of the free, after all. Does it really matter whether our politicians bend the truth here and there? When the truth is traded for lies, our freedoms are diminished and don’t return. In Lies the Government Told You, Judge Andrew P. Napolitano reveals how America’s freedom, as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, has been forfeited by a government more protective of its own power than its obligations to preserve our individual liberties. “Judge Napolitano’s tremendous knowledge of American law, history, and politics, as well as his passion for freedom, shines through in Lies the Government Told You, as he details how throughout American history, politicians and government officials have betrayed the ideals of personal liberty and limited government." —Congressman Ron Paul, M.D. (R-TX), from the Foreword

Synopsis Intimate Lies and the Law by : Jill Elaine Hasday

Jill Elaine Hasday's Intimate Lies and the Law won the Scribes Book Award from the American Society of Legal Writers "for the best work of legal scholarship published during the previous year" and the Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award for Family and Relationships. Intimacy and deception are often entangled. People deceive to lure someone into a relationship or to keep her there, to drain an intimate's bank account or to use her to acquire government benefits, to control an intimate or to resist domination, or to capture myriad other advantages. No subject is immune from deception in dating, sex, marriage, and family life. Intimates can lie or otherwise intentionally mislead each other about anything and everything. Suppose you discover that an intimate has deceived you and inflicted severe-even life-altering-financial, physical, or emotional harm. After the initial shock and sadness, you might wonder whether the law will help you secure redress. But the legal system refuses to help most people deceived within an intimate relationship. Courts and legislatures have shielded this persistent and pervasive source of injury, routinely denying deceived intimates access to the remedies that are available for deceit in other contexts. Intimate Lies and the Law is the first book that systematically examines deception in intimate relationships and uncovers the hidden body of law governing this duplicity. Hasday argues that the law has placed too much emphasis on protecting intimate deceivers and too little importance on helping the people they deceive. The law can and should do more to recognize, prevent, and redress the injuries that intimate deception can inflict.
