Her parents threatened; an abducted child; a cartel taken down. While on a black ops assignment in North Korea, chasing a deranged general, Maria learns that her parents survived a plane crash, killing the pilot—but it wasn’t an accident. Thousands of miles away in a remote village in Mexico, a human trafficking ring claims its newest young victim, someone connected to Maria. As Maria and her team of investigative agents hone in on those responsible, they discover that Maria is now being targeted. As the investigation unfolds further, they learn that the attempt on her parents’ lives, and the child’s abduction, goes right to the top of the Sinaloa Cartel. Maria wants revenge—not only for targeting her parents, but for the death of the pilot, who was a family friend—and she won’t rest until she gets it. Can Maria and the team take on such a powerful adversary…and stay alive?

Can there be a virtue in vengeance? Can revenge do ethical work? Can revenge be the obligation of women? This wide-ranging literary study looks at Shakespeare's women and finds bold answers to questions such as these. A surprising number of Shakespeare's female characters respond to moral outrages by expressing a strong desire for vengeance. This book's analysis of these characters and their circumstances offers incisive critical perceptions of feminine anger, ethics, and agency and challenges our assumptions about the role of gender in revenge. In this provocative book, Marguerite A. Tassi counters longstanding critical opinions on revenge: that it is the sole province of men in Western literature and culture, that it is a barbaric, morally depraved, irrational instinct, and that it is antithetical to justice. Countless examples have been mined from Shakespeare's dramas to reveal women's profound concerns with revenge and justice, honor and shame, crime and punishment. In placing the critical focus on avenging women, this book significantly redresses a gender imbalance in scholarly treatments of revenge, particularly in early modern literature.

This book explores the role of wax as an important conceptual material used to work out the nature and limits of the early modern human. By surveying the use of wax in early modern cultural spaces such as the stage and the artist’s studio and in literary and philosophical texts, including those by William Shakespeare, John Donne, René Descartes, Margaret Cavendish, and Edmund Spenser, this book shows that wax is a flexible material employed to define, explore, and problematize a wide variety of early modern relations including the relationship of man and God, man and woman, mind and the world, and man and machine.
