Story
Laura Holland, a rising journalist, endures a night of terror when she is attacked in her home in the middle of the night. Although she fights off the would-be rapist, his parting words are a threat to return. At the urging of her husband, Laura undergoes therapy to recover from the trauma. Laura decides to write a hypothetical legal case, which plays out the events of that night had she had a gun and had shot and killed her assailant. She enlists the help of a young, black attorney, Thomas Bennett. Though Thomas proves to be clever in the rules of the criminal justice system, his striking resemblance to her attacker does not go unnoticed.

Self defense - a must read
Reviewed: 01-21-24
A mystery book, but this book is actually a study of what is needed BEFORE someone decides to use a firearm for protection. Everything from selecting something that you can actually use to understanding 'use of force' considerations and all the way to what to expect from the justice system if you had to use serious force to protect yourself. Having been a law enforcement officer for 41 years as well as a use of force instructor even more years, too often I see novice persons show up for class with equipment that is not suited for the user. This book is a primer for the whole self defense spectrum, wrapped in a mystery who-done-it.

Story
John Boyd may be the most remarkable unsung hero in all of American military history. Some remember him as the greatest US fighter pilot ever - the man who, in simulated air-to-air combat, defeated every challenger in less than 40 seconds. Some recall him as the father of our country's most legendary fighter aircraft - the F-15 and F-16. Still, others think of Boyd as the most influential military theorist since Sun Tzu. They know only half the story.

Anyone interested in Boyd’s work needs to read this! Not a typical biography and keeps you tuned in ALL THE WAY! Was not looking forward to a standard biography but this is all about his work. Fantastic!
