Arts & Humanities > Horror, Mystery & Suspense Book reviews: Promise Me, by Harlen Coben: 2 of 3

Promise Me by Harlan Coben The long awaited return of Myron Bolitor and I can honestly say it lived up to all expectations.

Politics, News & Issues > International News Reflections on Benazir Bhutto's assassination: 26 of 34

And so it happens again. A suicide gunman, a bomber who can't get his own way decides to kill. He decides to kill a woman (was that the sole reason?) who's crime is deciding to run for high office of her own country, decides to kill in the name of his God or whatever. Does it matter? Does it really matter? Just what makes th...
