One summer day, Boston forensic psychiatrist Paul Lucas gets a call from his social worker wife, Abby: A nine-year-old girl has gone misisng. Paul, an expert interrogator, is called in to help evaluate the testimony of the only witness: a homeless woman who happens to be a paranoid schizophrenic. Further interviews with other possible witnesses go nowhere, frustrating detectives and calling into doubt Paul’s role in the case. Believing the girl is alive but soon to die, Paul is pushed to the brink of a professional abyss—harangued by local media, distrusted by police, and pressured to save the day by Abby, whose stake in the search becomes deeply personal. With time running out, Paul has to make a choice: to uphold the central oath of his profession or to do whatever it takes to find the girl—even if he must crack the mind of a vulnerable patient, and risk everything he has in the process.

The most important lies about Catholicism are refuted in this book – not by the author – but by the Bible and the Gospels! For centuries, the Catholic Church has been teaching lies to its followers. Catholic clergymen pretend to be “representatives of God,” having the power to forgive the sins of other men during confession. They claim to be able to transform the host, providing wafers and wine to represent the body and blood of Jesus Christ, and the faithful eat and drink it as cannibals. Priests say their mass is a repetition of the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, when Jesus died and resurrected almost 2,000 years ago. Yet God forbids us to communicate with dead people, so why would the church want Catholics to accept the great number of “saints” and “virgins” who are dead people? It is time these lies are exposed and that true Christians learn to depend on the words of the Bible, not the words of priests. Remember, The Bible never lies!

For many years, George H. Russell has struggled to understand the meaning and purpose of ‘Organized Religion’ as condemned by Jesus and also to understand why wars and genocide are frequently associated with religion—making it seem that death and destruction are somehow condoned by God. While singing ‘Onward Christian Soldiers, Marching As to War’ in church, Russell could think only about Christians slaughtering Jews, Moors, Native Americans and others all in the name of Jesus. Satan’s Greatest Lies chronicles Russell’s attempts to understand a peculiar interpretation of Christian ideology encountered while living in East Texas. This is the introductory part of his book , followed by The Ethician Bible in which Satanic verses are removed from The Holy Bible by the author to spread only God’s loving messages to humankind. In Russell’s opinion, many of the messages in the Bible should be considered as sent from an evil Satan, not a benevolent God.

Like their Hollywood counterparts, Latin American film and TV melodramas have always been popular and highly profitable. The first of its kind, this anthology engages in a serious study of the aesthetics and cultural implications of Latin American melodramas. Written by some of the major figures in Latin American film scholarship, the studies range across seventy years of movies and television within a transnational context, focusing specifically on the period known as the "Golden Age" of melodrama, the impact of classic melodrama on later forms, and more contemporary forms of melodrama. An introductory essay examines current critical and theoretical debates on melodrama and places the essays within the context of Latin American film and media scholarship. Contributors are Luisela Alvaray, Mariana Baltar, Catherine L. Benamou, Marvin D’Lugo, Paula Félix-Didier, Andrés Levinson, Gilberto Perez, Darlene J. Sadlier, Cid Vasconcelos, and Ismail Xavier.
