As Wally's violent crimes mount and the details of his double life begin to unravel, Detective Hall and Officer Lonergan close in on a killer who's been hiding in plain sight all along.

Irene Schroeder, a frustrated young woman tired of her dead-end life, convinces her reluctant boyfriend Glen Dague to turn to crime—launching a brutal three-week rampage of robberies and violence that carries them across multiple states. As law enforcement closes in from all directions, Irene's ruthless determination keeps them moving, but their luck grows thinner by the mile as they race toward the Mexican border in a desperate bid for freedom.

Greek-fire to Flame-thrower
1 pp · Non-Fiction, History

This history traces the evolution of incendiary weaponry from ancient times to the modern battlefield, beginning with Greek-fire—a potent mixture of sulphur, naphtha, and quicklime discovered by the architect Callinicus—and following its devastating use against the Saracens through successive centuries of warfare. From the Byzantine defense of Constantinople to the Mongolian invasions across Asia and Europe, the story shows how cultures adapted this fierce technology, ultimately revealing that the flame-throwers of World War II were simply a refinement of principles perfected over more than a thousand years.
