It was a murder made for TV: a trail of tiny bloody footprints. An innocent toddler playing beside her mother's body. Stay tuned for the next riveting thriller in the Taylor Jackson series by New York Times bestselling author J.T. Ellison. Cameras and questions don't usually faze Nashville homicide lieutenant Taylor Jackson, but when pregnant Corinne Wolff is brutally murdered in her own home, the media frenzy surrounding the case is particularly nasty. When the seemingly model mommy is linked to an amateur porn website with underage actresses and unwitting players, the sharks begin to circle. The shock is magnified when an old adversary uses the sexy secret footage to implicate Taylor in a murder—an accusation that threatens her career, her reputation and her relationship. Both cases hinge on the evidence—real or manufactured—of crimes that go beyond passion, into the realm of obsessive vengeance and shocking betrayal. Just what the networks love. Previously Published.

This book argues that modern Irish history encompasses a deep-seated fear of betrayal, and that this fear has been especially prevalent since the revolutionary period at the outset of the twentieth century. The author goes on to argue that the novel is the literary form most apt for the exploration of betrayal in its social, political and psychological dimensions. The significance of this thesis comes into focus in terms of a number of recent developments – most notably, the economic downturn (and the political and civic betrayals implicated therein) and revelations of the Catholic Church’s failure in its pastoral mission. As many observers note, such developments have brought the language of betrayal to the forefront of contemporary Irish life. This book offers a powerful analysis of modern Irish history as regarded from the perspective of some its most incisive minds, including James Joyce, Liam O’Flaherty, Elizabeth Bowen, Francis Stuart, Eugene McCabe and Anne Enright.

Rare is the person who has never been betrayed. It is a near-universal human experience. In The Judas Kiss: Growing Beyond Betrayal, family therapist and leadership development consultant John Brownlee draws on his clinical expertise to show us how we can overcome our pain and begin to heal. In this practical, common-sense book, he also teaches us how to spot betrayers sooner the next time—because there will be a next time. Brownlee goes deep into the multigenerational aspects of betrayal, touching on both its roots in our ancestors and its impact on our children and grandchildren. He offers hope and useful suggestions to help us soften potentially harmful effects on the family so future generations don’t repeat damaging patterns. His no-nonsense approach is nonetheless laced with compassion as he encourages us to face difficult truths in order to move forward.
