...evidence of Flint (Putnam; 338 pages; $24.95), Eddy's first novel, everyone had better hope the answer is no. This slickly paced thriller postulates a conspiracy, called the Enterprise, between rogue elements in British and U.S. intelligence. These powerful, shadowy mavericks shake down high-rolling international crooks for big protection money and then use their law-enforcement connections to make sure the bad guys get away with their misdeeds. Which is how Grace Flint, on an undercover assignment from New Scotland Yard, gets her lovely face stomped in and many bones in her equally winning body broken during a blown...

Officials who interviewed the staff after the shooting concluded that no one knew anything about a knife (or a gun) before the attack. Michigan has a tough, zero-tolerance law regarding...
...couples counseling. New Hope/Anger Management Inc., based in West Palm Beach, Fla., which has conducted 200 courses in the past seven years, started out treating halfway-house criminals but works today with wealthy businessmen, the homeless and children as young as eight. Even the six-year-old in Flint, Mich., who killed his classmate in February had reportedly been scheduled to undergo anger therapy. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, who gunned down 13 at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., had taken anger-management classes a year earlier for stealing from...
