When murder strikes the small town of Tallulah Falls, embroidery shop owner Marcy Singer isn’t afraid of getting down to the knitty-gritty to clear her name....

Now she has to do whatever it takes to keep her reputation from unraveling—and get to the bottom of a most deadly yarn....

In Paramedics On and Off the Streets, Michael K. Corman embarks on an institutional ethnography of the complex, mundane, intricate, and exhilarating work of paramedics in Calgary, Alberta. Corman’s comprehensive research includes more than 200 hours of participant observation ride-alongs with paramedics over a period of eleven months, more than one hundred first hand interviews with paramedics, and thirty-six interviews with other emergency medical personnel including administrators, call-takers and dispatchers, nurses, and doctors. At the heart of this ethnography are questions about the role of paramedics in urban environments, the role of information and communication technologies in contemporary health care governance, and the organization and accountability of pre-hospital medical services. Paramedics On and Off the Streets is the first institutional ethnography to explore the role and increasing importance of paramedics in our healthcare system. It takes readers on a journey into the everyday lives of EMS personnel and provides an in-depth sociological analysis of the work of pre-hospital health care professionals in the twenty-first century.

Revenge is a dish best served cold. After a major battle between the Higher Middle and Lower Middle, there were few survivors on either side. Shoil’s hatred for Tampong ran deep to her very core, constantly fueling her anger, which increased her appetite, making her feed on men to satisfy that appetite. She was determined to track down and kill the traitor Tampong, even if killing the woman was the last thing she did. To achieve her goal, many men died horrible deaths so Shoil could stay strong to fulfill her destiny. She traveled far and wide tracking down Tampong, along with a new presence, a boy named Terry, picking up their trails here and there, with Shoil’s determination driving her on. In an ironic and potentially deadly twist, after consuming one particular man, Shoil suddenly needed a new body to continue her life and her hunt. She had to choose carefully, knowing her choice could be a shortcut to finding Tampong. The plan worked, and the inevitable meeting of the two was planned. Terry was young, but found himself in the middle of the hatred between the two women. Doubt and confusion filled his mind, until he was no longer certain of the right path to take. Should he join with Shoil, or support the woman who protected him for so many years? Terry’s path is unclear, until he meets someone who will change his life forever. Does the boy still want to save Tampong from Shoil’s wrath?
