Con men, swindlers, snake-oil salesmen, carpetbaggers, and plain everyday liars and cheats - these names and the scoundrels behind them have been around for hundreds of years, though their dodges and deceptions have been refined with the passage of time. The worldwide growth of criminal fraud has mushroomed to such a degree that traditional law-enforcement techniques have been unable to cope effectively with the fallout. Criminal fraud is a billion-dollar industry and has become a staple of organized crime rivalling drugs and prostitution as major sources of income. In North America the courts and governments fail to treat these crimes with the seriousness they deserve, often placing the blame on victims, or at the very least making them culpable. Former Calgary police detective and fraud expert Gordon Leek illustrates how a variety of frauds work and how to protect yourself from them, including simple cheque scams, elaborate telemarketing schemes, Internet swindles, and identity theft.

My sister is missing! Has anyone seen her? I am a walking disaster not only because I'm sick with a nasty cold but also because the last conversation I had with Lillian was of her choosing to disown me as her sister. What if I never see her again? I can't even fathom the thought! So, I did the only thing I knew to do- I enlisted the help of Marcelo AND Brady. Yes, I was making them work together, and they didn't like it. Not one bit. Everything was going wrong from the torrential downpour of rain that seemed to be never-ending to me being run off the road and winding up in jail. Yes, jail. But nothing was going to stop me from getting Lillian back, even if it meant cooperating with the criminals and handing over what they were needing to commit their next crime. With all the chaos taking place, one thing I came to realize was certain- When it Rains it Pours.

The Rivers Run Dry Special Agent Raleigh Harmon is good at her job as a forensic geologist, but not as good at bureau politics. As one of the few females on the team, she finds herself in a strange land when she's transferred from Richmond to drought-stricken Seattle. When a hiker suddenly goes missing and a ransom note arrives, Raleigh vows to find the missing college girl and leave no stone unturned.

Instead she finds herself investigating an ugly cross burning at a celebrity's mansion and standing in the crosshairs of her boss at the Bureau. And the deeper Raleigh digs into the case, the murkier the water becomes. The Mountains Bow Down Everything's going to work out. Time away always makes things better . . .
