What if the CIA secretly enlisted your help to catch a KGB mole inside the American Embassy in Singapore? This is the situation confronting US Navy intelligence officer Lieutenant Commander Dalton Kane. He's not Bond, but he's an astute analyst with patriotic fervor and an indelible memory for details. What distinguishes him too, is his ability to "fly under the radar" and remain undetected. Even the ambassadress is unaware Kane is covertly partnered with the embassy's CIA station chief on the case. As the new assistant naval attaché, Kane combines his official and clandestine spy-catching duties sleuthing through the harbor and nonstop diplomatic social settings where he meets an irresistible Eurasian beauty who steals his heart. Profilers believe the KGB operative detected by the National Security Agency is male, college educated, and well-positioned in the embassy. He probably has a security clearance; he's cunning and secretly disgruntled. But the embassy is a rogues' gallery of suspects and unwitting accomplices: a surprisingly naive ambassadress, herself needing improved security awareness; her secretary, a loyal but capricious party girl; the deputy chief of mission, a domineering egotist aspiring for ambassadorship; the consul, perhaps too impeccable, too slick; and others including a stormy young man in the economics section. A mutilated, floating, Caucasian female corpse, the stunning homicide of the KGB resident, and the flight and disappearance of a prime suspect into the Malaysian jungle are milestone developments. In the end Kane puts his life on the line against a surprising and very formidable opponent. As vital seconds tick away he feels panic transmitted through the gun barrel pointed at him, and wonders if help will arrive before the hammer falls.

Our increased reliance on computer technology for all aspects of life, from education to business, means that the field of cyber-security has become of paramount importance to us all. This book presents the proceedings of the inaugural Singapore Cyber-Security R&D Conference (SG-CRC 2016), held in Singapore in January 2016, and contains six full and seven short peer-reviewed papers. The conference took as its theme the importance of introducing a technically grounded plan for integrating cyber-security into a system early in the design process, rather than as an afterthought. The element of design is integral to a process, be it a purely software system, such as one engaged in managing online transactions, or a combination of hardware and software such as those used in Industrial Control Systems, pacemakers, and a multitude of IoT devices. SG-CRC 2016 focused on how design as an element can be made explicit early in the development process using novel techniques based on sound mathematical tools and engineering approaches, and brought together academics and practitioners from across the world to participate in a program of research papers and industrial best practice, as well as an exhibition of tools. The book will be of interest to all those with a working interest in improved cyber-security.

Evidence from Earth Observation Satellites is an edited collection analysing emerging legal issues surrounding the use of satellite data as evidence. It considers whether data from satellite technologies can be a legally reliable, effective evidential tool in contemporary legal systems.

The Merger Control Review, edited by Ilene Knable Gotts of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, provides an overview of the process in 38 jurisdictions, as well as a discussion of recent decisions, strategic considerations and likely upcoming developments in Merger Control. Given the ability of most competition agencies with pre-merger notification laws to delay, and even block, a transaction, it is imperative to take each jurisdiction - small or large, new or mature - seriously. It is, therefore, imperative that counsel for such a transaction develops a comprehensive plan prior to, or immediately upon, execution of an agreement concerning where and when to file notification with competition authorities regarding such a transaction. The intended readership of this book comprises both in-house and outside counsel who may be involved in the competition review of cross-border transactions. In our endeavour to keep our readers well informed, we have expanded the jurisdictions covered by this book to include the newer regimes as well with several special chapters covering US, EU and Chinese Merger Control in Media and Pharmaceutical sectors. Contributors include: Susan Ning, King & Wood Mallesons; James Langenfeld, Navigant; Goenenc Guerkaynak, ELIG; Mr Jordan Ellison, Slaughter and May."e;Each country section provides an informative overview of recent and expected enforcement trends...
