Dexter By Design: Dexter #4 (Jeff Lindsay)

Dexter By Design (Dexter #4)

Jeff Lindsay

Blurb: Dexter Morgan is back.

After his surprisingly glorious honeymoon in Paris, life is almost normal for Dexter Morgan. Married life seems to agree with him: he's devoted to his bride, his stomach is full, and his homicidal hobbies seem nicely under control.

But old habits die hard - and Dexter's work as a blood spatter analyst never fails to offer new temptations that appeal to his offbeat sense of justice...and his Dark Passenger still waits to hunt with him in the moonlight.

Luckily for Dex, there's someone out there with particularly twisted tastes. Dexter may have never been a big fan of art - but the discovery of a corpse (artfully displayed as a sunbather relaxing on a beach chair) naturally piques his curiosity. Miami's finest soon realise they've got a terrifying new serial killer on the loose. And Dexter, of course, is back in business.

From the most original voice in crime fiction, DEXTER BY DESIGN is an enthralling, macabre and gruesomely entertaining thriller.

The Declaration of Independence and Other Great Documents of American History, 1775-1865 (John Grafton)

The Declaration of Independence and Other Great Documents of American History, 1775-186

Edited by John Grafton

Blurb: The great documents in this important collection helped form the foundation of American democratic government. Compelling, influential, and often inspirational, they range from Patrick Henry's dramatic 'Give me liberty or give me death' speech at the start of the American Revolution to Abraham Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address, issued in the closing weeks of the Civil War. Also included are the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson's classic rationale for rejecting allegiance to the government of King George III; the Monroe Doctrine, the cornerstone of American foreign policy and these other landmark statements;

-The Constitution of the United States

- James Madison: The Federalist, No. 10

- George Washington: First Inaugural Address

- George Washington: Farewell Address

- Thomas Jefferson: First Inaugural Address

- William Lloyd Garrison: Prospectus for the Liberator

- Andrew Jackson: Veto of the Bank Bill

- Abraham Lincoln: First Inaugural Address

- Abraham Lincoln: Emancipation Proclamation

- Abraham Lincoln: Gettysburg Address

An introductory note precedes the text of each historic document, providing fascinating background history and information about the author. An indispensable reference for students, this handy compendium will also serve as an invaluable introduction for general readers to American political writing.
