SPIES: True Spy Stories - Hidden In Plain SightThe concept of real life spies is one that is equally fascinating as it is rooted in mystery. Considering the obviously secretive nature of the job we don't truly know exactly what these individuals do until they either retire from a legitimate intelligence career. While the job title of spy has been retired for the more modernized titles of “covert investigator” or simply “intelligence”, the career path is still very much valid. With ever evolving technology and increased worldwide threats of terrorism, today spies have a more dangerous job than ever. The modern spy is employed by government intelligence agencies such as the CIA and KBG. These individuals must have extensive training in military and/or law enforcement as well as have abilities to work various jobs undercover. History has proven that not all successful spies and those convicted of espionage have to be highly trained professionals. Many are ordinary people chosen to gather intelligence for their respective countries. This book is based on true spy stories, and the real life tales of the covert operators in our midst - hidden in plain sight.

HARD JUSTICE: Alcatraz, Conviction and Innocent: Wrongfully Accused on Death Row - 3 Books in 1 Featuring… *Alcatraz *Conviction *Innocent 3 Great Books in 1! Alcatraz Despite their place in popular culture, jail breaks are an incredibly daring prospect for any criminal to undertake. In most countries, escaping from jail is a very serious offence and will certainly result in a harsher punishment once the subject has been re-captured. Depending on the severity of the crime for which the offender was originally imprisoned, an attempted jail break can result in a significantly longer sentence. The cases covered in this volume are a combination of those prisoners who went to extreme lengths in order to free themselves from the confines of jail, those who broke free as a declaration of their innocence, and those who simply pounded at the first opportunity to escape. The fascination of each case cannot be over-stated, as well as the unimaginable bravery and audacity each one required. Conviction In 2016 alone, a grand total of 166 wrongly convicted people were declared innocent throughout the year. The most recent imprisonment of these people was made in 2010, and the farthest back was 1964. Including the 166 overturned convictions from 2016, a total of 2,000 wrongly convicted inmates have been awarded freedom since 1989 (the first year which records began). To the general public, it may seem like overturned convictions are few and far between, however, given the statistics, this isn’t the case at all. It begs the question as to why most people will recognise the names of Amanda Knox, Meredith Kercher, Casey Anthony and the West Memphis Three, but may not be familiar with Kirk Bloodsworth, Thomas Kennedy or James Richardson. This book charts the true stories of a collection of the most notable wron Innocent Statistics show that no less than 4 percent of those that are on death row today are innocent. In the first study of its kind, a team concluded that our of the 8000 men and women who have been sentenced to death row since the 1970s, at least 200 of those were innocent. The numbers, of course, are very conservative. However, the number shows that it is possible that there have been more than 200 people put to death for crimes that they have never committed and the real criminal went unpunished. This is a very disturbing statistic because it proves that despite our best efforts to prove that justice is served, a large number of innocent people have been put to death. Sadly, this study does not solve the largest issue when it comes to the death penalty and that is exactly how many innocent people have been convicted of crimes and put to death for them. If you take the time to really look at the numbers you will get an idea of just how many errors are being made. It is hard for any of us to believe that an innocent person has been executed, however, this study proves that it does happen. Of course, we have all heard the stories of those that were executed and then found to later be innocent, however, it is usually by chance that it is found that these people are innocent. You see, there is no way for us to know how many of the over 1400 people who have been executed since 1976 were innocent. Once the defendant is dead, no one works to find evidence to exonerate the dead. This is the shocking true story of 12 inmates, executed on death row who were thought to have been innocent. If they didn't do the crime, what does that say about justice?

We throw coins in a fountain, we blow out candles, we close our eyes against a falling star... all for the chance at a single wish. But what would happen if a wish was forced on you? Kira is one of the newest batch of Jinn sent to mend the paths of those humans who have lost their destinies. She has been assigned to discover Jack Morgan’s one true wish by whatever means are necessary, with only three stipulations: 1) no one is to discover she is a Jinni2) she is never to lose control of her powers3) she is never, ever to grow attached to her human. The stubborn Wall of Jack, as Kira thinks of him, has worked hard to create a life that is normal in a home that was anything but. He wants nothing more than to follow his meticulously laid out plan for his future. So, when Kira arrives in his English class with a rush of wind and spark of energy that knocks him off balance, he never would have guessed that she was a Jinni sent for him. Kira and Jack battle wills, battle their own failings, and battle the impossible feelings that are growing between them; until a battle of another kind pulls them eternally together. Even with mystery, magic and a timeless romance, nothing could prepare you for the consequences of two little words… I wish.
