When U.S. Marshal Alexa Chase arrests gang members in a routine drug seizure, she thinks nothing of it—until she realizes there's far more to the drug-killings than meets the eye. A member of their gang has gone off the rails, morphed into a psychotic serial killer, and Alexa will have to navigate the treacherous gang-world to find him and save the next victim before it's too late. "This is an excellent book… When you start reading, be sure you don't have to wake up early!" —Reader review for The Killing Game THE KILLING POINT (An Alexa Chase Suspense Thriller—Book 4) is book #4 in a new series by mystery and suspense author Kate Bold, which begins with THE KILLING GAME (Book #1). Alexa Chase, 34, a brilliant profiler in the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, was too good at her job. Haunted by all the serial killers she caught, she left a stunning career behind to join the U.S. Marshals. As a Deputy Marshal, Alexa—fit, and as tough as she is brilliant—could immerse herself in a simple career of hunting down fugitives and bringing them to justice. But with her recent work a big success, the FBI and the Marshals have decided to make their joint-task force permanent. Alexa, reeling from her own traumatic past and her PTSD of hunting serial killers, has no choice: she will now have to work with an FBI partner she dislikes and hunt down serial killers whose jurisdiction intertwines with that of the U.S. Marshals. Alexa finds herself forced to confront the thing she dreads the most—entering a killer's mind. As Alexa dives deeper into the case, she realizes that she's not the only one who wants this serial killer stopped: the gangs, too, want him brought under control. But she'll have to navigate the treacherous gang underworld to find him, and the people leading her may be the people she can trust least of all. Is she just leading herself deeper into danger? Or will the killer come for her next? A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured Deputy Marshal, the ALEXA CHASE series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night. Books #5 and #6—THE KILLING FOG and THE KILLING PLACE—are also available. "This book moved very fast and every page was exciting. Plenty of dialogue, you absolutely love the characters, and you were rooting for the good guy throughout the whole story… I look forward to reading the next in the series." —Reader review for The Killing Game "Kate did an amazing job on this book and I was hooked from the first chapter!" —Reader review for The Killing Game "I really enjoyed this book. The characters were authentic, and I see the bad guys as something we hear about daily on the news... Looking forward to book 2." —Reader review for The Killing Game "This was a really good book. The main characters were real, flawed and human. The story went along quickly and wasn't mired in too many unnecessary details. I really enjoyed it." —Reader review for The Killing Game "Alexa Chase is headstrong, impatient, but most of all brave with a capital B. She never, repeat never, backs down until the bad guys are put where they belong. Clearly five stars!" —Reader review for The Killing Game "Captivating and riveting serial murder with a twist of the macabre… Very well done." —Reader review for The Killing Game "WOW what a great read! Talk about a diabolical killer! Really enjoyed this book. Looking forward to reading others by this author as well." —Reader review for The Killing Game "Page turner for sure. Great characters and relationships. I got into the middle of this story and couldn't put it down. Looking forward to more from Kate Bold." —Reader review for The Killing Game "Hard to put down. It has an excellent plot and has the right amount of suspense.

An instant USA Today bestseller! It all began with just one line. "I'll wait forever if I have to." The BookTok sensation PEN PAL is a high-octane, tautly written dark romance with an unforgettable twist that will leave readers gasping. Now with a brand new bonus chapter, this breathtaking romance about undeniable love from superstar J.T. Geissinger is not to be missed! The first letter arrived the day my husband was buried. It was postmarked from the state penitentiary, and contained a single sentence: I'll wait forever if I have to. It was signed by Dante, a man I didn't know. Out of simple curiosity, I wrote back to ask him what exactly he was waiting for. His reply? You. I told the mystery man he had the wrong girl. He said he didn't. I said we'd never met, but he said I was wrong. We went back and forth, exchanging letters every week that grew increasingly more intimate. Then one day, the letters stopped. When I found out why, it was already too late. Dante was at my doorstep. And nothing on earth could have prepared me for what happened next.

Imagine my surprise when my new neighbor turns out to be Callan Keen, one of Scotland's most famous (and hottest) professional footballers. I'm even more shocked to discover that the brooding player is still holding a grudge for something that happened between us years ago.

I don't have time for this blast from the past, even if the grump upstairs is still the most gorgeous man I've ever laid eyes on. When a huge client opportunity arises, I'm forced to ask Callan for help. I need a fake date and he needs an introduction with my real estate mogul dad. The deal between us should be simple.

I told myself I wouldn't catch feelings for Callan, but the closer we get, the more he reminds me of the guy I once fell for.

This book is your complete roadmap for two of the most critical subjects in the CFA curriculum. We cover everything you need to know in a clear and organized way. Let's start with Corporate Issuers. You will learn the ins and outs of dividends and share repurchases, understanding how companies return value to shareholders. We then explore the growing importance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations in modern investment analysis. You'll see how these non-financial factors can significantly impact a company's value. The guide dives into advanced topics for the cost of capital, making complex calculations feel simple and intuitive. We also unpack the strategic details of corporate restructuring, such as mergers, acquisitions, and spin-offs. After building that strong corporate finance foundation, we pivot to the heart of the curriculum: Equity Valuation. We begin with its core applications and processes, giving you a solid framework. You will master discounted dividend valuation (DDM). We then build on that with comprehensive lessons on free cash flow (FCF) valuation models. You'll learn to use market-based price and enterprise value multiples like a seasoned analyst. The book also simplifies the theory behind residual income valuation. To round things out, we tackle the specific challenges and nuances of valuing private companies. Each chapter is concise and focused on exam success. Why choose this book over others? Many study guides are either too dense and academic or too brief and superficial. They can leave you overwhelmed with theory or underprepared for complex exam questions. This book strikes the perfect balance. We bridge the critical gap between complex financial theory and the practical, applicable knowledge you need to pass. Instead of just throwing formulas at you, we explain the intuition behind them. Our goal is to help you think like an analyst, not just memorize information. This approach ensures you can tackle any question the exam throws at you, even the tricky, scenario-based ones. We cut through the noise and focus squarely on the high-yield topics, building your confidence and providing a clear, efficient path to mastering the material. It's the practical edge you've been looking for. Disclaimer: The author of this book has no affiliation with the CFA Institute.

“TRACY HOGG HAS GIVEN PARENTS A GREAT GIFT–the ability to develop early insight into their child’s temperament.” –Los Angeles Family When Tracy Hogg’s Secrets of the Baby Whisperer was first published, it soared onto bestseller lists across the country. Parents everywhere became “whisperers” to their newborns, amazed that they could actually communicate with their baby within weeks of their child’s birth. Tracy gave parents what for some amounted to a miracle: the ability to understand their baby’s every coo and cry so that they could tell immediately if the baby was hungry, tired, in real distress, or just in need of a little TLC. Tracy also dispelled the insidious myth that parents must go sleepless for the first year of a baby’s life–because a happy baby sleeps through the night. Now you too can benefit from Tracy’s more than twenty years’ experience. In this groundbreaking book, she shares simple, accessible programs in which you will learn: E.A.S.Y.–how to get baby to eat, play, and sleep on a schedule that will make every member of the household’s life easier and happier. S.L.O.W.–how to interpret what your baby is trying to tell you (so you don’t try to feed him when he really wants a nap). How to identify which type of baby yours is–Angel; Textbook, Touchy, Spirited, or Grumpy–and then learn the best way to interact with that type. Tracy’s Three Day Magic–how to change any and all bad habits (yours and the baby’s) in just three days. At the heart of Tracy’s simple but profound message: treat the baby as you would like to be treated yourself. Reassuring, down-to-earth, and often flying in the face of conventional wisdom, Secrets of the Baby Whisperer promises parents not only a healthier, happier baby but a more relaxed and happy household as well.

The landmark book that has revolutionized the way we understand leadership and decision making -- from #1 bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell. In his breakthrough bestseller The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. Now, in Blink, he revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant--in the blink of an eye--that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? How do our brains really work--in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others? In Blink we meet the psychologist who has learned to predict whether a marriage will last, based on a few minutes of observing a couple; the tennis coach who knows when a player will double-fault before the racket even makes contact with the ball; the antiquities experts who recognize a fake at a glance. Here, too, are great failures of "blink": the election of Warren Harding; "New Coke"; and the shooting of Amadou Diallo by police. Blink reveals that great decision makers aren't those who process the most information or spend the most time deliberating, but those who have perfected the art of "thin-slicing"--filtering the very few factors that matter from an overwhelming number of variables.

The world's most influential voices on AI risk explain why superintelligent AI is a global suicide bomb - and we must halt development immediately 'The most important book of the decade' MAX TEGMARK, author of Life 3.0 'Better than any book on the subject I've ever read. A loud trumpet call to humanity to awaken us as we sleepwalk into disaster' STEPHEN FRY AI is the greatest threat to our existence that we have ever faced. The scramble to create superhuman AI has put us on the path to extinction - but it's not too late to change course. Two pioneering researchers in the field, Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares, explain why artificial superintelligence would be a global suicide bomb and call for an immediate halt to its development. The technology may be complex, but the facts are simple: companies and countries are in a race to build machines that will be smarter than any person, and the world is devastatingly unprepared for what will come next. Could a machine superintelligence wipe out our entire species? Would it want to? Would it want anything at all? In this urgent book, Yudkowsky and Soares explore the theory and the evidence, present one possible extinction scenario and explain what it would take for humanity to survive. The world is racing to build something truly new - and if anyone builds it, everyone dies. 'The best no-nonsense, simple explanation of the AI risk problem I've ever read' YISHAN WONG, former Reddit CEO 'Should you worry about superintelligent AI? The answer from one of the tech world's most influential doomsayers, Eliezer Yudkowsky, is emphatically yes. The good news? We aren't there yet, and there are still steps we can take to avert disaster' Guardian *A GUARDIAN AND NEW STATESMAN BOOK OF THE YEAR*

Part of the bestselling Surrounded by Idiots series! Internationally bestselling author Thomas Erikson has helped changed how the world thinks about behavior using a simple 4-color behavior analysis system. In Surrounded by Bad Bosses he applies that same system to revolutionize the workplace. Everyone has had a bad boss. You might have one right now. You might even be one. Bad bosses are a fact of the workplace, whether they're short-tempered, unclear about expectations, or too disorganized to manage so much as a stapler. But how do you not only survive a difficult boss, but help your career thrive despite them? By identifying your boss's behavior profile you'll be better able to interact with them no matter what the situation. Erikson offers example stories and concrete steps to help you thrive in any work situation. Of course, much as we love to blame our bosses, sometimes management isn't the problem at all. For every bad boss there is also a lazy employee, so Erikson also looks at the issue from a completely different perspective-employees themselves- and explores why some colleagues frequently underachieve, and what you can do to change this if you're the boss.

In 2023, hundreds of AI luminaries signed an open letter warning that artificial intelligence poses a serious risk of human extinction. Since then, the AI race has only intensified. Companies and countries are rushing to build machines that will be smarter than any person. And the world is devastatingly unprepared for what would come next. For decades, two signatories of that letter—Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares—have studied how smarter-than-human intelligences will think, behave, and pursue their objectives. Their research says that sufficiently smart AIs will develop goals of their own that put them in conflict with us—and that if it comes to conflict, an artificial superintelligence would crush us. The contest wouldn’t even be close. How could a machine superintelligence wipe out our entire species? Why would it want to? Would it want anything at all? In this urgent book, Yudkowsky and Soares walk through the theory and the evidence, present one possible extinction scenario, and explain what it would take for humanity to survive. The world is racing to build something truly new under the sun. And if anyone builds it, everyone dies. “The best no-nonsense, simple explanation of the AI risk problem I've ever read.”—Yishan Wong, Former CEO of Reddit

Most investors spend their lives searching for the next great stock tip, the brilliant fund manager, or the perfect moment to buy and sell. They trade too often, pay too much in fees, panic during crashes, and chase yesterday's winners. And after decades of effort, anxiety, and expense, the overwhelming majority end up with less money than if they had simply done almost nothing.In The Boring Million, Swedish investor and family-office founder Henrik Vesper makes a case that is at once simple and deeply counterintuitive: the most reliable path to lasting wealth is not cleverness, activity, or expensive expertise, but a disciplined commitment to low-cost index funds, broad diversification, consistent saving, and the psychological strength to stay invested through every storm.Drawing on decades of academic research and hard-won personal experience — including losing most of his own capital in the 2000–2001 crash and spending two years studying businesses that had survived for generations — Vesper walks readers through the mathematics of compounding, the arithmetic of why active management must underperform after costs, and the behavioral traps that cause even intelligent investors to destroy their own returns. He explains why missing just ten of the market's best days can cut long-term wealth in half, why the mutual fund industry's most profitable products are rarely its investors' best choices, why a 1% annual fee can consume hundreds of thousands of dollars over a lifetime, and why the rare stocks that create virtually all of the market's gains can only be reliably captured by owning the whole market.The Boring Million covers every dimension of the modern investor's challenge: the tyranny of compounding costs, the mirage of performance persistence, the hidden drain of taxes and turnover, the role of bonds in keeping investors sane during crashes, the double-edged nature of ETFs, the psychology of panic selling, the power of automation, and the structural reasons why doing less — far less — tends to produce far better results.Vesper does not promise excitement. He promises something rarer and more valuable: a strategy grounded in evidence, built to survive any market environment, and designed to work for ordinary people who have neither the time nor the inclination to become professional investors. The boring portfolio, consistently held, is almost always the winning portfolio.For readers of Morgan Housel's The Psychology of Money and Ray Dalio's Principles, The Boring Million is an authoritative, engaging, and ultimately liberating guide to building lasting wealth — one patient decade at a time.

Every self-help book of the past two decades tells you to say yes to the right things. Dario Quintela argues that advice is incomplete â— and that it breaks against real life. An adult is defined not by their yeses but by their conscious, deliberate noes. Without honest refusal, every yes loses its meaning. In The Boundary Is Love, Quintela dismantles the myth that endless availability equals goodness. Drawing on attachment theory, behavioral research, family systems psychology, and hundreds of real conversations with readers, he shows how the invisible cost of saying yes to everything accumulates slowly â— in the body, in resentment, in the erosion of the things that matter most. The problem is not that caring people care too little. It is that they care without limits, in ways that steadily exhaust them and hollow out their relationships. This is not a book about becoming colder or more guarded. It is a book about becoming more honest. Quintela walks readers through the six territories where boundaries most often collapse â— physical, emotional, sexual, financial, time, and digital â— and gives them the language, the scripts, and the internal clarity to begin rebuilding. He explores why family relationships are uniquely resistant to change, why romantic love so often becomes a slow erasure of self, why the workplace's always-on culture is a systemic boundary failure, and why the hardest limits to set are often the ones we owe ourselves. Chapter by chapter, he addresses the full arc of this work: where your limits came from, how to name what you actually need, what to say in the conversation you have been avoiding, how to survive the guilt and fear that follow, and how to maintain the peace you have built without slipping back into old patterns. Real composite stories drawn from interviews show what this process looks like in ordinary lives â— messy, nonlinear, and ultimately transformative. The central insight of the book is deceptively simple: a boundary is not a wall. It is a condition of genuine love. When you can truly say no, your yes becomes a real choice. And a chosen yes â— offered from clarity rather than fear, from love rather than guilt â— is the only kind that sustains a meaningful life. For readers of Mark Manson and James Clear, The Boundary Is Love is a plainspoken, emotionally honest, and practically grounded guide for anyone who has spent too long being everything to everyone â— and is ready to stop.

From Iris Johansen, the nationally acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of And Then You Die and The Ugly Duckling, comes her most electrifying novel yet. Forensic sculptor Eve Duncan has a rare--and bittersweet--gift. Her unique ability to reconstruct the identity of the long dead from their skulls has helped bring closure to parents of missing children. For Eve, whose own daughter was murdered and her body never found, the job is a way of coming to terms with her personal nightmare. When she is approached by billionaire magnate John Logan to reconstruct the face of an adult murder victim, only his promise of a sizable charitable contribution persuades her to accept. It's a simple bargain, yet it's the most dangerous one she'll ever make. The warning signs are clear. There is the specially equipped lab Eve is taken to in a country inn turned high-tech security fortress in rural Virginia. Surveillance cameras monitor her every move. The telephones are tapped. And then there is Logan himself--by turns ruthless, charming, and desperate. But it's too late for Eve to walk out. The skull has begun to reveal its shocking identity, trapping her in a frightening web of murder and deceit. To free herself, she has no choice but to expose that identity and to trust Logan, the man who put her life in danger, a man who may see her as an expendable pawn.

In his breakthrough bestseller The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. Now, in Blink, he revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant--in the blink of an eye--that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? How do our brains really work--in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others? In Blink we meet the psychologist who has learned to predict whether a marriage will last, based on a few minutes of observing a couple; the tennis coach who knows when a player will double-fault before the racket even makes contact with the ball; the antiquities experts who recognize a fake at a glance. Here, too, are great failures of "blink": the election of Warren Harding; "New Coke"; and the shooting of Amadou Diallo by police. Blink reveals that great decision makers aren't those who process the most information or spend the most time deliberating, but those who have perfected the art of "thin-slicing"--filtering the very few factors that matter from an overwhelming number of variables.
