International publishing sensation Patricia Cornwell's legion of readers will welcome this omnibus edition of her third and fourth megabestselling Kay Scarpetta novels, All That Remains and Cruel & Unusual. These two novels, presented here complete and unabridged, helped to confirm Patricia Cornwell's status as queen of the forensic thriller and one of the world's top bestselling authors. All That Remains A killer is stalking young lovers. Taking their lives and leaving just a tantalizing clue. When the bodies of young couples start turning up in remote woodland areas, Dr. Kay Scarpetta's task as Virginia's Chief Medical Examiner is made more difficult by the effects of the elements. Eight times she must write that the cause of death is undetermined. But when the latest young woman to go missing is the daughter of one of America's most powerful women, Kay also finds herself prey to political pressure and press harassment. The killings must stop. Now. Scarpetta soon discovers that someone is withholding vital evidence, or even faking it. Meanwhile, a cunning sadistic killer is still at large. Cruel & Unusual At 11:05 one December evening in Richmond, Virginia, convicted murderer Ronnie Joe Waddell is pronounced dead in the electric chair. At the morgue, Dr. Kay Scarpetta has been waiting for Waddell's body. Preparing to perform a postmortem before the subject is dead is a strange feeling for Scarpetta, but she has been here before. And Waddell's death is not the only newsworthy event on this freezing night: the grotesquely wounded body of a young boy is found propped against a garbage Dumpster. To Scarpetta, the two cases seem unrelated, until she recalls that the body of Waddell's victim had been arranged in a strikingly similar position. Was Waddell innocent? Is someone else out there, who may attack again?

Hailed as a "shining talent"  who  "soars above the rest,"  bestselling author  Patricia Potter follows the success of  Wanted and Relentless  with a stunning love story that confirms her status  as "as master storyteller."   Only  the desire for vengeance had spurred Wade Foster  on, until the last of the men who had destroyed his  family lay sprawled in the dirt. Now, badly  wounded, the rugged outlaw closed his eyes against the  pain... and awoke to a tender touch. He'd never  asked Mary Jo Williams to save him, couldn't  understand why a lawman's widow hadn't the sense to leave  a stranger to his fate. But the daring beauty  refused to abandon him. And soon, when a posse gets  too close, Wade will have to choose between fleeing  and risking everything for this dauntless woman  who could show him how to live--and love--again.  

Paperback. We are in the midst of a growing ecological crisis. Developing technologies and cultural interventions are throwing the status of human into question. It is against this context that Patricia McCormack delivers her expert justification for the ahuman. An alternative to posthuman thought, the term paves the way for thinking that doesnt dissolve into nihilism and despair, but actively embraces issues like human extinction, vegan abolition, atheist occultism, death studies, a refusal of identity politics, deep ecology, and the apocalypse as an optimistic beginning.In order to suggest vitalistic, perhaps even optimistic, ways to negotiate some of the difficulties in thinking and acting in the world, this book explores five key contemporary themes: Identity Spirituality Art Death The apocalypseCollapsing activism, artistic practice and affirmative ethics, while introducing some radical contemporary ideas and addressing specifically modern phenomena like death cults, intersectional identity politics and capitalist enslavement of human and nonhuman organisms to the point of zombiedom, The Ahuman Manifesto navigates the ways in which we must compose the human differently, specifically beyond nihilism and post- and trans-humanism and outside human privilege. This is so that we can actively think and live viscerally, with connectivity (actual not virtual), and with passion and grace, toward a new world.
