  The last man I dated... ended up dead. Jen is a normal, single woman living in a big city. By day, she's a receptionist and by night, she goes on dates. Lots of dates. Because Jen knows if she is going to find true love, it's a numbers game. All of Jen's dates end with the same crushing sense of disappointment and she finds herself silently uttering those five familiar words: 'It's not me, it's you.'But now it seems Jen is more than just unlucky in love. The police have knocked on her door with some questions for her. The last five people she went on dates with have been murdered. And Jen is their prime suspect. As she fights desperately to prove her innocence, she must ask herself, who would have a motive to kill those five people? And if the only thing connecting them is her, will she be next?

  An ex-spy lifts the lid on life in the secret serviceA Globe and Mail and Toronto Star bestseller!Andrew Kirsch didn’t grow up watching spy movies, or dreaming about being a real-life James Bond. He was hardly aware that Canada even had its own intelligence service—let alone knew what its officers did. But when a terrorist attack occurred near the office of his financial services job, all of a sudden fighting terrorism meant a lot more to him than the markets. Within 18 months he had landed a job with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS)—where he spent the next decade of his life.In I Was Never Here, Kirsch (now an in-demand security consultant) spills the secrets of what life as an intelligence officer is really like, and dispels a few myths along the way. With humour, honesty, and candour, Kirsch shares his on-the-ground experience (or as much of it as he’s allowed to) of becoming a member of CSIS: from his vetting and training, to his initial desk job as a policy analyst, to his rise up the ranks to leading covert special operations missions. If you’ve ever wondered whether spies can have real dating lives, how they handle family responsibilities, or how they come up with cover stories or aliases, you’re in luck.From the time he tried to get the code names “Burgundy” and “Anchorman” assigned to human sources (with no luck), to the night a covert operation was almost thwarted by a flyer delivery man, Kirsch takes you behind the scenes with an authentic view of Canada’s spy agency, and the intricate intelligence-sharing apparatus that works day and night to keep us safe. I Was Never Here is also a testament to one man’s drive to serve his country, and the sacrifices, big and small, that he made along the way.

  The Shocking Truth about...

  The criminal justice system is the cornerstone of maintaining order and enforcing laws in any society. It functions as the mechanism through which society addresses crime, ensures accountability, and administers justice. At its core, the system is composed of three key components: law enforcement, the judiciary, and corrections. Each of these plays an essential role in maintaining balance, protecting the rights of individuals, and upholding the rule of law. 
  Law enforcement is the first point of contact for individuals involved in criminal activity. Police officers, detectives, and other law enforcement agencies are tasked with investigating crimes, making arrests, and ensuring public safety. They have the authority to detain individuals suspected of committing crimes and gather evidence to support prosecution. The relationship between law enforcement and the community is pivotal in ensuring a fair and just system. However, this power can be easily abused, leading to tensions, allegations of misconduct, and issues such as racial profiling. 
  Once a crime is detected and an arrest is made, the case moves into the court system, where judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys interact. The role of the judiciary is to oversee trials, ensure fair procedures, and make determinations of guilt or innocence. The prosecutor represents the state’s interest, aiming to secure a conviction based on evidence, while the defense attorney works to protect the rights of the accused, challenging the evidence and the actions of the prosecution. A jury may be involved in determining the outcome, offering a layer of public scrutiny over the decisions made.

  Dark History of Penn's Woods -...

  When ships under the command of white Europeans first sailed into the Delaware Bay in 1609, southeastern Pennsylvania's documented history of the strange and unusual began. This book tackles seven true "dark histories" from Chester and Delaware counties, which include tales of murder, witchcraft, cannibalism, tragic accidents, and macabre events that actually happened in the Greater Philadelphia region. All stories are meticulously researched and placed within the greater context of Pennsylvania and world history. For example, the murder of three children by an indentured servant is placed within the context the kidnapping of children into servitude in England for sale to the Americas. The trial and execution of a woman for killing her infants is placed within the context of the rights of women in early America and how the court system failed them. The treatment of witchcraft is placed within the larger relationship of Quakers with the supernatural in Pennsylvania. This is not a book of ghost stories; this is an exploration of the real events that led people to believe in ghosts. It aims to strike a balance between a colloquial work that is accessible by a variety of listeners, and an solid academic work.
