A fully illustrated graphic memoir of a child of the '60s who was raised into a life of crime and addiction —but graduated into freedom. Matthew Parker was in his mid-forties when he started college. He’d been sidetracked: Eleven years were eaten up by serving time in various county jails, state penitentiaries, and federal prison. He’d been arrested more than thirty times, racking up eight felonies in a crime career that began at age thirteen, when he started dealing pot. When he got out of prison for the last time and kicked his heroin addiction, he was determined to spend the next chapter of his life in the classroom. And he did just that, going on to complete a master’s degree from Columbia University’s highly competitive creative writing program. Through captivating black-and-white illustrations drawn in a distinctively primitive style, Larceny in My Blood flashes back on Parker's childhood, with memories of a loving but lawless mother teaching him that breaking the law was the way to survive. From there it moves to an account of Parker’s lost decades, where he resorted to petty crime to support a heroin habit. After years of fighting the system, Parker sees the light and Larceny in My Blood becomes a poignant portrait of a man trying to find his way in the straight and narrow. A unique memoir, Parker’s images and words form a mesmerizing road to redemption.

In the hood, a snitch is the worst thing a person can possibly be. Rolling over on your best friend, who has been with you through thick and thin, hungry and full, freedom and state bids—that's ”the cruelest lie told in silence.” In this tale that plucks the innermost chords of emotion, jealousy turns to envy then to backstabbing as we observe two friends who have struggled together, hustled together, and endured separate prison terms. While Jovan experiences the fruits of the hustle during his partner’s first stint, Bilal humbly does his time like a true soldier, taking a manslaughter charge for his one true friend. When these two are finally reunited on the streets, a chain of events lands them both behind bars facing multiple charges. Will their friendship survive the broken bond of brotherhood, or will dishonor come before death?

Why are the most successful and advanced members of society often deemed to be the criminals? In a word - Envy. The envious man finds superiority in others intolerable, and he wishes to level and equalize all things. Many sociologists and social scientists turn this hatred and resentment into "virtue" under the guise of "social science" by calling it a demand for fraternity and equality. In this concise volume, Rushdoony uncovers the larceny in the heart of man and its results: class warfare and conflict society in which the rise of hostility and envy are seen as steps towards social progress, when in fact they lead to disaster. The political solutions posited lead to a inflationary economy and an overbearing state. This book is a must-read to gain a biblical understand of the underlying tenets of this codified coveting and the only certain long-term cure.

A contemporary novel of action, love, danger and emotion. Plus compelling inside looks at cutthroat technology, big-time sports and Machiavellian Hollywood deals.When good things come in threes, events infused with drama sometimes follow. This becomes uncovered truth as we trace the interwoven careers of three men in jeopardy and the remarkable women in their lives: film researcher Billie Travis, software designer Gia Dillon, and music composer Dakota Simms whose meeting with her ex-husband induces a horrific, near-death incident with long-term consequences. Billie Travis and Gia Dillon were inseparable childhood friends, and their chance reunion following an eleven-year separation has far-reaching aftereffects. These are launched when Billie hears Gia's story about the twin predicaments of her fianc�, Sam Clevenger, 22, and his father, Rob, 45. Both men face extreme danger plus potentially devastating career crises, one in professional baseball the other in technology; and their stories become the crux of the matter. We also meet Gia's aunt and uncle, literary, film and financial agents, who step outside their specialties to help the Clevenger men in their quests for redemption. Rob and Sam's struggles are integral to the concluding chapters where Billie Travis returns and partners with a Hollywood director to drive the action. Dakota Simms and her talented ex-husband reenter the story with material impact. And a gifted writer, who has recently suffered a grievous loss, is introduced and becomes key. In addition to a cliff-side funeral with danger and a torrid, roomless hotel tryst, we also encounter a blatant oil baron and his dysfunctional family; a financial tycoon and his sons wreaking physical mayhem; an NFL star and his brilliant fianc�e with a tragic past; a thug and his gang of miscreants bent on revenge; an LAPD detective and a lovely redhead; a repugnant Major League owner; a corrupt and murderous businessman allied with the mafia; an insightful film star and his actor son; multiple love affairs; and . . . well, now it's time for women and men to kick back and have fun reading Larceny of Love.
