A fully illustrated graphic memoir of a child of the '60s who was raised into a life of crime and addiction —but graduated into freedom. Matthew Parker was in his mid-forties when he started college. He’d been sidetracked: Eleven years were eaten up by serving time in various county jails, state penitentiaries, and federal prison. He’d been arrested more than thirty times, racking up eight felonies in a crime career that began at age thirteen, when he started dealing pot. When he got out of prison for the last time and kicked his heroin addiction, he was determined to spend the next chapter of his life in the classroom. And he did just that, going on to complete a master’s degree from Columbia University’s highly competitive creative writing program. Through captivating black-and-white illustrations drawn in a distinctively primitive style, Larceny in My Blood flashes back on Parker's childhood, with memories of a loving but lawless mother teaching him that breaking the law was the way to survive. From there it moves to an account of Parker’s lost decades, where he resorted to petty crime to support a heroin habit. After years of fighting the system, Parker sees the light and Larceny in My Blood becomes a poignant portrait of a man trying to find his way in the straight and narrow. A unique memoir, Parker’s images and words form a mesmerizing road to redemption.
In the hood, a snitch is the worst thing a person can possibly be. Rolling over on your best friend, who has been with you through thick and thin, hungry and full, freedom and state bids—that's ”the cruelest lie told in silence.” In this tale that plucks the innermost chords of emotion, jealousy turns to envy then to backstabbing as we observe two friends who have struggled together, hustled together, and endured separate prison terms. While Jovan experiences the fruits of the hustle during his partner’s first stint, Bilal humbly does his time like a true soldier, taking a manslaughter charge for his one true friend. When these two are finally reunited on the streets, a chain of events lands them both behind bars facing multiple charges. Will their friendship survive the broken bond of brotherhood, or will dishonor come before death?
A treatise on the law of larceny and kindred offenses: such as adulteration, blackmailing, burglary, conspiracy to defraud, embezzlement, extortion, false pretenses, frauds and cheats, piracy, receiving stolen goods, robbery, and trespasses depriving of property.
Major League Baseball claims it hasn't had a game fixed by gamblers since 1919. No points have been shaved in the NBA since 1954. And the NFL states no game of theirs has come under outside influence – ever. These, however, are lies. The proof resides in FBI files only recently uncovered and discussed in Larceny Games.
Why are the most successful and advanced members of society often deemed to be the criminals? In a word - Envy. The envious man finds superiority in others intolerable, and he wishes to level and equalize all things. Many sociologists and social scientists turn this hatred and resentment into "virtue" under the guise of "social science" by calling it a demand for fraternity and equality. In this concise volume, Rushdoony uncovers the larceny in the heart of man and its results: class warfare and conflict society in which the rise of hostility and envy are seen as steps towards social progress, when in fact they lead to disaster. The political solutions posited lead to a inflationary economy and an overbearing state. This book is a must-read to gain a biblical understand of the underlying tenets of this codified coveting and the only certain long-term cure.

Plus compelling inside looks at cutthroat technology, big-time sports and Machiavellian Hollywood deals.When good things come in threes, events infused with drama sometimes follow. This becomes uncovered truth as we trace the interwoven careers of three men in jeopardy and the remarkable women in their lives: film researcher Billie Travis, software designer Gia Dillon, and music composer Dakota Simms whose meeting with her ex-husband induces a horrific, near-death incident with long-term consequences. Billie Travis and Gia Dillon were inseparable childhood friends, and their chance reunion following an eleven-year separation has far-reaching aftereffects.

The author believes that human mind is very fertile and capable of wildest imagination. There is no dearth of books with fictitious stories showing flight of human mind conceiving weird objects and incidents which never happened and may never happen. Time machine was conceived decades back. Rockets and satellites were invented by human mind much before they became reality. However, many incidents in real life are so strange and unique that they surpass the wildest human imagination and fiction. It is with a view to record one such subjective experience that the authorhas embarked upon this modest attempt at English prose. Master of Larceny is the true story of a perverted genius who joined the Indian Air Force sometime in 1965-66 and was arrested, tried by Court Martial, convicted of a series of thefts and incarcerated in 1970-71. All material facts stated in the book are true and authentic. However, some names have been changed to protect the identity of the person where required and minor details may be inaccurate due to lapse of time and memory. The author was intimately connected with the successful investigation of the entire case and prosecution of the culprits. He was commended by the Air Officer Commanding in Chief, Maintenance Command, IAF for tracking and running down the Master of Larceny and his gang. Therefore while some minor inaccuracies in matters of detail cannot be ruled out due to lapse of time, the veracity of all material facts is guaranteed. Although every effort been made to protect the identity of all persons involved in the incident, particularly those who came out in poor light, inquisitive minds and contemporaries may still be able to spot the characters with reference to the dates, places and appointments. The author therefore wishes to apologize if unwittingly the identity of any person is given away by unavoidable references.
