Lick Shot by Peter Kalu
Down in the city's dark sewers lies a terrible secret. It's the horrific race-hate weapon that the White Tribe, a psychotic group of neo-Nazis, plan to unleash on the city's black residents. They will stop at nothing to carry out their mission. But they didn't reckon on a black cop who doesn't care about the rules. Ambrose Patterson's under fire from all sides, but his only concern is that they must be stopped by any means necessary.
You Can Be Happy No Matter What by Richard Carlson
With this simple and practical guide, Dr. Carlson shows us how to be happy now, before we solve our problems. By understanding five principles - Thought, Moods, Separate Realities, Feelings, and the Present Moment - we can discover a new mode of living that doesn't repress natural emotions, yet where feelings and thoughts don't overwhelm us either. You Can Be Happy No Matter What is a navigational tool that gently guides readers through life's challenges and restores the joy of living along the way.
Shadows of Hunger by Muritala Sule
A company facing serious financial problems is considering laying off many of its workers. But the employees are ready to square up to the senior management, no matter the consequences.
