He takes with him copies of reports he'd come across when he had been investigating murders. He begins to track a particular hit man believed to be responsible for many of those murders. Brian Purger is a free-lance hit man. His survival depends on his cunning and strength. He finds peace only at his New Hampshire mountain retreat. Bill is the closest thing to a friend Purger has ever had. Bill is a college graduate and works for a large company. He is a widower with a young daughter and values family life above all else. He is in love with Leigh but is worried she will find out about his friendship with Purger. Leigh is divorced, a working mother with two children. She is insecure and wants more than anything to have her children grow up with a father figure in the home. She loves Bill and thinks he is the answer to making her family complete. Bill takes Leigh on a romantic skiing trip to a remote New England mountain and finds that a blizzard is closing in. Bill has never told Leigh that Purger also has a cabin on the mountain. The ski holiday soon intrudes into Purger's reclusive life. He tells Bill that he will eliminate the woman if she gets too close. He believes he will be doing his friend a favor. He threatens to kill Bill too if he gets in the way. Bill warns Leigh and tells her about Purger, but they cannot escape in the car because of the blizzard. They decide to ski down the mountain to safety. When Bill disappears during the trip, Leigh realizes she is alone on the mountain, with a professional killer in pursuit.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49652751270161,"sku":"GOR009501694","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49710888550673,"sku":"CIN0590427318G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50059885609233,"sku":"GOR009583308","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50262737649937,"sku":"CIN0590427318A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50305988493585,"sku":"CIN0590427318VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0590427318.jpg?v=1751135955"},{"product_id":"you-be-the-jury-book-marvin-miller-9780590709422","title":"You be the Jury","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49666586083601,"sku":"GOR002341095","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50158410989841,"sku":"GOR002806179","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50748723200273,"sku":"GOR000948864","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51860310622481,"sku":"GOR011397925","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0590709429.jpg?v=1751040669"},{"product_id":"courtroom-v-book-marvin-miller-9780590739108","title":"Courtroom V","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49675830100241,"sku":"CIN0590739107A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50481026007313,"sku":"CIN0590739107G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50888797454609,"sku":"CIN0590739107VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0590739107.jpg?v=1750846904"},{"product_id":"you-be-the-jury-book-marvin-miller-9780590457279","title":"You be the Jury","description":"Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

This situation began to change in 1966, when the Major League Baseball Players Association was formed and Marvin Miller, who had been chief economist and assistant to the president of the steelworkers' union, became its first executive director. Here he recounts his experience in dealing with club owners and his success in winning a new role for the players. He helped virtually end the system that bound an athlete to one team forever, and thereby raised salaries enormously. Candid in his assessments of the characters involved in this drama, Mr. Miller is nonetheless generous in his comments about the ballplayers who made sacrifices for their union.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49788194849041,"sku":"CIN1566635993G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50381348372753,"sku":"CIN1566635993A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51037268672785,"sku":"NIN9781566635998","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51424287588625,"sku":"CIN1566635993VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52355572007185,"sku":"NLS9781566635998","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52705613807889,"sku":"GOR014589882","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1566635993.jpg?v=1754893712"},{"product_id":"you-be-the-jury-book-marvin-miller-9780590457248","title":"You be the Jury","description":"Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

But once the child of Seven starts to withdraw it's almost as though he doesn't know where or when to stop.

The second part of the book details thirteen musical activities, with ideas for variations and further work. In this new edition of her well-established book, Elaine Streeter helps parents and carers to learn not only how they can add to a child's fun, but also how they can engage a child in interactive

It examines a variety of computer resources and some of the latest developments in the field. Computer Applications in Mental Health provides examples of computer programs that have proved helpful in private practice and institutional treatment settings. Among the programs discussed in the book are those that have succeeded or failed within the large Veterans Administration computer system; a system designed to help choose the best reinforcers to use with patients in a behavioral program; a computerized self-administered screening battery in use in community health center settings; patient education programs useful in caring for the chronic mentally ill; and a reminder system for helping the hospital-based clinician meet paperwork deadlines. Encouraging mental health professionals to investigate the types of computer technology available to them, this book also stimulates further development and sharing of computer software.To enable readers to seek out more information on certain systems and programs, this book lists many computer resources. Several of the software packages evaluated are available on computerized bulletin board systems at no cost beyond that of a long distance phone call. Although Computer Applications in Mental Health is primarily for mental health clinicians, administrators and computer programmers within mental health settings can also find useful information in this book.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52334395588881,"sku":"NLS9781560243533","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781560243533.jpg?v=1758156749"},{"product_id":"4-piece-original-book-marvin-miller-9780595424764","title":"A 4-Piece Original","description":"Four stories by the same author:  \u003cp\u003e 1]A Dollar\u0026amp;One Cents The perfect husband gets hit with the reality of his sexy wife. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e 2]Evacuee's stackin' G'S the levee breaks and 3 evacuees make it out safe.
