His more than eighty published novels have won or been nominated for Edgar, Hammett, Anthony, Shamus, and Macavity awards?a clean sweep of the crime fiction award field?and received rave reviews from critics. He crafts masterful stories, often from multiple perspectives, in which the human condition is on full display. The Violated is no exception. In Echo Park, in the small town of Santa Rita, California, the mutilated body of Martin Torrey is found by two passersby. A registered sex offender, Torrey has been a suspect in a string of recent rapes, and instant suspicion for his murder falls on the relatives and friends of the women attacked. Police chief Griffin Kells and detective Robert Ortiz are under increasing pressure from the public and from a mayor demanding results in a case that has no easy solution. Pronzini cleverly unfolds the case through alternating perspectives?Martin Torrey's wife, caught between her grief and the fear her husband was guilty; the outraged husbands of the women violated; the enterprising editor of the local paper; the mayor concerned most with his own ratings; the detectives, often spinning in circles?until a surprising break leads to a completely unexpected conclusion. The Violated is Bill Pronzini at the height of his storytelling powers. 517 $aViolated 517 $aViolated, The 606 $aFiction$2OverDrive 606 $aLiterature$2OverDrive 606 $aMystery$2OverDrive 606 $aThriller$2OverDrive 615 17$aFiction. 615 7$aLiterature. 615 7$aMystery. 615 7$aThriller. 686 $aFIC019000$aFIC022010$aFIC031010$2bisacsh 700 $aPronzini$b Bill$01774723 701 $aHuber$b Hillary$01748689 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910165073703321 996 $aThe violated$94287525 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03925nam 22004813 450 001 9910729783103321 005 20241120180335.0 010 $a9781035300662 010 $a1035300664 035 $a(CKB)5590000001066199 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7262753 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7262753 035 $a(UtOrBLW)eep9781035300662 035 $a(NjHacI)995590000001066199 035 $a(EXLCZ)995590000001066199 100 $a20230620d2023 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aDealing with Crisis $eThe Japanese Experience and Beyond 210 1$aNorthampton :$cEdward Elgar Publishing,$d2023. 215 $a1 online resource (224 pages) 311 08$a9781035300655 311 08$a1035300656 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aFront Matter -- Copyright -- Contents -- Figures -- Tables -- Contributors -- Preface -- 1.

Taking an institutionalist approach with a strong historical precedent, leading scholars in the social sciences and law explore how better to deal with both foreseeable and unforeseen crises. Illustrating their multifaceted and complex nature, the book examines a broad range of crises throughout history, including economic, fiscal and political crises; force majeure events such as pandemics and natural disasters; and military conflicts and acts of war. Chapters consider how various actors anticipate and deal with these crises, looking closely at their different perceptions of crisis and varying degrees of urgency. Analyzing institutional design and response, and the impact of psychological factors on disaster preparedness, the book considers how the decision-making capabilities of individuals can be enhanced to improve institutional capacity. Transdisciplinary, with an international reach, this topical book will prove invaluable to students and scholars across the social sciences, particularly those interested in Asian politics and environmental policy, disaster preparedness and institutional design. It also provides guidance for policymakers working in civil code reform"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aCrisis management$zJapan 607 $aJapan$2fast 615 0$aCrisis management 676 $a658.40560952 700 $aBabb$b James$01367896 701 $aIida$b Takashi$01167767 712 02$aEdward Elgar Publishing, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910729783103321 996 $aDealing with Crisis$93391991 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02396nam 22004453 450 001 9910163954503321 005 20250716080328.0 010 $a1-61750-899-3 035 $a(CKB)3710000001055730 035 $a(VLeBooks)9781617508998 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC32178915 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL32178915 035 $a(OCoLC)1152239907 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000001055730 100 $a20250716d1993 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aWinds of Promise 205 $a1st ed. 210 1$aNEW YORK :$cNancy Yost Literary Agency,$d1993. 210 4$dİ1993. 215 $a1 online resource (1 p.) 225 1 $aTates of Texas Series 311 08$a0-8217-4184-5 330 $aTates of Texas (#2)Victoria Thompson's compelling love stories capture the bold passion and excitement of the Texas frontier--and the unforgettable Tate dynasty, who helped tame it. Now, in Winds of Promise, Thompson continues their fascinating legacy in a gripping story of love against the backdrop of the wild Texas terrain...In the chaos of the Civil War, Sarah Peterson lost her beloved husband and only child, and endured seven years of captivity by the fierce Comanche. Finally freed, she returns to the only home she knows--only to find that she's just as much a prisoner of a cruel and judging society; until an unexpected champion offers her an escape to a place where her past will be unknown, and a new life... as his bride--in name only!A marriage of convenience to the commanding Hunter Tate, and a home on his Texas ranch seems an ideal solution. But now Sarah is torn between the shame she feels for her past and the fire--and longing--that Hunter Tate inspires. What can she offer this ardent, intelligent man? Is it just possible that love can heal--and let two hot-headed people share the promise of this rough and beautiful land--and each other's hearts?. 410 0$aTates of Texas Series 608 $aLove stories.$2gsafd 700 $aThompson$b Victoria$01232787 712 02$aKensington Publishing Corp. 712 02$aCopyright Paperback Collection (Library of Congress) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163954503321 996 $aWinds of promise$92866849 997 $aUNINA
