Scoundrels become heroes, heroes transmogrify into scoundrels and a bullet from Blithes gun kills a beloved captain of industry. With Blithe under arrest for a murder she probably didnt commit, only Cole can save her. To do so he needs to extricate himself from a scheme to bring about a total economic collapse. Desperate, he turns to the most depraved person he knows.

She doesn't love talking to people worse off than she is. She craves it. But now someone's on to her -- Ryan, whose world falls apart when his pregnant wife ends her life, hand in hand with a stranger. Who was this man, and why did they choose to die together?

Nick Forte has a hard time leaving well enough alone. He seriously injures a man for slapping a woman Forte has never seen before, so when Becky Tuttle comes to him with disconcerting letters sent to her author alter ago Desiree d¿Arnaud, he does more than a cursory investigation. Following the thread of Becky¿s problem leads through a local cop who takes the situation too lightly for Forte¿s taste and into the disturbing world of men¿s rights activists, for whom he has no use at all.Becky¿s case isn¿t the only thing going on in Forte¿s life. A chance meeting with Lily O¿Donoghue, a former prostitute whose mother¿s death Forte feels responsible for, leads to a blackmailer who has videos of Lily¿s former occupation. Forte takes care of the blackmailer with minimal fuss, but learns (again) that no good deed goes unpunished. Forte¿s innocent intercession brings him back into the sphere of Chicago gangster Mickey Touhy, who has interest in both Lily and Forte.Forte¿s usual cast of Sharon, Goose, Delbert, Sonny, Jan, and, of course, his daughter Caroline do what they can to keep him on an even keel. The problem is that Forte¿s keel may be permanently damaged and the only resolutions he can arrive at satisfy no one, least of all himself.

The authors of this book challenge prevailing ideas about free markets and globalization. They question whether globalization is a technological reality that cannot be stopped and ask if the US economy really outperformed its competitors in the 1990s. They show how in each key area--trade and industrial policy, privatization, intellectual property rights, investment and financial policies, exchange rate and currency policy, labour and social welfare --there are alternatives to neoliberal policies that the historical experience of particular countries prove really works.
