BOOK
A Warrant to Kill: A True Story of Obsession, Lies and a Killer Cop
Kathryn Casey
$4.39

About this product:
She tried to tell her friends. She even went to the police. No one would believe her--and now she was dead.

Problems had always followed Susan White, but when she remarried and moved to Houston's posh suburbs, she thought the past was behind her--until she met a deputy sheriff named Kent McGowen who would soon become her worst nightmare.

McGowen was an aggressive cop with a spotty record. When Susan rebuffed his advances, she claimed he stalked and harassed her, using her troubled teenage son as bait. And then, in an act of arrogance and revenge, he made good on his threats, setting her up for the kill.

In A Warrant to Kill, Kathryn Casey meticulously pieces together the tragic shards of the case to create a riveting story of vengeance, fear, and justice--of the terrifying power a badge can have in the wrong hands.

RAIDS was first published in 1991 but has recently been totally revised and up-dated to better reflect changes in STTU tactics and terminology for Raid planning and operations.

RAIDS is essential reading for anyone involved in law enforcement raid or high risk warrant operations or training.

Warrant and Proper Function
Alvin Plantinga
$31.08

About this product:
In this companion volume to Warrant: The Current Debate, Plantinga develops an original approach to the question of epistemic warrant; that is what turns true belief into knowledge.

Since September 11, 2001, much has been written about "Islamist terrorism," arguing that it has "hijacked Islam" in the service of social, political and economic grievances. Such accounts cannot explain, however, why people with similar or more serious grievances have not developed such devastating religious terrorist ideologies. Moreover, many of the terrorists themselves attest to their own religious motivation and the belief that they have acted in accordance with the precepts of Islam.

Warrant for Terror examines fatwas—legal opinions as to whether a given act under Islam is obligatory, permitted, or forbidden—as instruments by which religious leaders impel their believers to engage in terrorism. Fatwas come from all over the Muslim world, with many terrorists testifying that fatwas motivated them to act. Indeed, according to this book, Islamic law plays a central role in terrorists' determining to undertake jihad. The author examines fatwas' religious, legal, and moral logic and the depth of their influence, in addition to, the justification for declaring jihad; the territory in which jihad should be fought; whether women and children may participate; the legality of killing women, children, and other noncombatants; the justification for killing hostages and mutilating their bodies; and the permissibility of diverse tactics and weapons, including suicide attacks and even nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. In the conclusion, the author raises a number of provocative questions about what the West's policy should be in the face of the threat of Islamic extremism.

BOOK
A Warrant For Mrs. Lincoln
Nancy Schleifer
$16.19

About this product:
Nancy Schleifer has done a remarkable job of combining historical fiction with romance. This novel depicts an era in history that may be well documented, but reveals facts that are not well known. You will be fascinated with the characters surrounding the historical events and be totally absorbed in their lives. While this novel may be about Mary Lincoln, it is mostly about a love story. The author's unique descriptive style will leave you with lasting images of a place in time that needed to be revisited.

BOOK
Warrant For X
Philip Macdonald
$10.00

About this product:
In Philip MacDonald's world, the butler just may have done it. I was watching a movie "23 Paces to Baker Street" (1956), about a blind man (Van Johnson) overhearing a kidnap and murder plot. The credits said based on a story by Philip MacDonald. The story turns out to be Warrant for X.

With a few differences, the story was going paralleling the film then I recognized the name of Anthony Gethryn. It turns out that this book is part of a series that includes Colonel Gethryn. I have even seen another movie with him in it that was totally different from 23 paces but matched the book to a tee. "The List of Adrian Messenger" (1963) where George C. Scott plays Anthony Gethryn.

Naturally the book s more complex than the movie. And just incase you come in the middle of the series as I did; there is sufficient references to earlier novels to keep you from getting lost. The mystery will keep you and the edge of your seat and just as you think they have a handle on "the who, what and why," they are off and running again.

BOOK
Searches, Seizures, and Warrants: A Reference Guide to the United States Constitution (Reference Guides to the United States Constitution)
Robert M. Bloom
$99.95

About this product:
An inherent tension resides in the Fourth Amendment's strictures on unreasonable searches and seizures. We want it to protect our privacy from government intrusion, yet we want the police to do whatever is required to solve crime. Greater controls on the power of the police provide more privacy protections to citizens. Reduced controls on police actions provide less privacy protection to citizens. Bloom explores this tension as he guides the reader to through the history and relevant Supreme Court decisions that have shaped the current state of Fourth Amendment law.
