Young, energetic, and determined undercover police officer Nicholas Grenier is the shining star of the Hartford Police Department. For two years Grenier infiltrated the top levels of the drug trade in New England and is preparing for the biggest bust of his career-a bust that will topple the narcotics underworld like dominoes. But the bust is almost botched and in the process Greniers cover is blown, ending his undercover narcotics career. Though he is quickly promoted to detective, he becomes increasingly depressed and angry. Fearing his career itself is coming to an end, Grenier takes a leave of absence, not planning to return. Unfortunately for Grenier, someone else has other plans for him. He calls himself The Nemesis. Having waited years for just the right detective to come forward to begin his murderous game, he draws Grenier into the investigation. With only his instincts to guide him, Grenier takes over the investigation of this uncanny killer who seems to know more about the Grenier than Grenier knows about himself. As the killer claims responsibility for three murders in the span of a week, Grenier desperately tries to find any clues that could lead him to this maniacal killer. It isnt until the detective accidentally comes across a misfiled case, that he suddenly learns that this is not the first case in which a member of his family has hunted a killer calling himself The Nemesis. The case will test the detectives mental and emotional strength as he finds himself investigating two cases, one in the present and one that occurred sixty years earlier. As the detective tries to uncover the truth, he is forced to confront family demons and will learn a horrible truth about his family and himself that will link him inexorably to the killer he is hunting.

Celebrated scientists Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler explain the amazing power of social networks and our profound influence on one another's lives. Your colleague's husband's sister can make you fat, even if you don't know her. A happy neighbor has more impact on your happiness than a happy spouse. These startling revelations of how much we truly influence one another are revealed in the studies of Dr. Christakis and Fowler, which have repeatedly made front-page news nationwide. In Connected, the authors explain why emotions are contagious, how health behaviors spread, why the rich get richer, even how we find and choose our partners. Intriguing and entertaining, Connected overturns the notion of the individual and provides a revolutionary paradigm-that social networks influence our ideas, emotions, health, relationships, behavior, politics, and much more. It will change the way we think about every aspect of our lives.

Those who exit a religion—particularly one they were born and raised in—often find themselves at sea in their efforts to transition to life beyond their community. In Degrees of Separation, Schneur Zalman Newfield, who went through this process himself, interviews seventy-four Lubavitch and Satmar ultra-Orthodox Hasidic Jews who left their communities.He presents their motivations for leaving as well as how they make sense of their experiences and their processes of exiting, detailing their attitudes and opinions regarding their religious upbringing. Newfield also examines how these exiters forge new ways of being that their upbringing had not prepared them for, while also considering what these particular individuals lose and retain in the exit process. Degrees of Separation presents a comprehensive portrait of the prolonged state of being “in-between” that characterizes transition out of a totalizing worldview. What Newfield discovers is that exiters experience both a sense of independence and a persistent connection; they are not completely dislocated from their roots once they “arrive” at their new destination. Moreover, Degrees of Separation shows that this process of transitioning identity has implications beyond religion.
