Award-winning author, Robert Thornhill, releases Lady Justice and the Vigilante, the seventh volume in the Lady Justice mystery/comedy series.

2012-02-06

INDEPENDENCE, MO, February 06, 2012 (Press-News.org) Award-winning author Robert Thornhill announces the release of the seventh installment in his Lady Justice mystery/comedy series, Lady Justice And The Vigilante.

The first six novels in the series, Lady Justice Takes A C.R.A.P. City Retiree Action Patrol, Lady Justice And The Lost Tapes, Lady Justice Gets Lei'd, Lady Justice And The Avenging Angels, Lady Justice And The Sting and Lady Justice And Dr. Death are currently available through bookstores, online and on the author's website.
Christina Fullerton Jones writes: "Lady Justice and The Vigilante gets a double thumbs up!
First, it's well written with a tight plot, complete with several sub-plots, that keep you wondering how Thornhill is going to bring the tale to a satisfactory conclusion.
Second, it provides an opportunity to ponder the ethics of vigilantism in our seemingly crime ridden world.
Where is the line that separates protection of the victim and protection of the individual's rights when accused of a crime?
Robert Thornhill's latest Walt Williams' mystery comedy novel finds Walt and his police force buddies on the losing ends of trials due to Constitutional issues that force the release of some really bad dudes.
These are the cases one reads about in the paper: criminals, whose names are seen as repeat offenders, let go once more because the letter of the law wasn't followed in the apprehension and arrest.
Then, one reads that the bad guys have done it again, and again, and again. These are the cases where average citizens often blame the public defender for representing the scumbags.
Occasionally, these are the cases where someone decides to step in and bring about a different conclusion--the vigilante.
Walt is like the rest of us, frustrated because criminals often seem to get off on technicalities, but he is forced to look at the rights of the defendant differently when Mary, the manager of his Three Trails Hotel (read flop house), has shot and killed an armed robber. Simple self-defense?
No, the robber was leaving and had turned around to threaten Mary from a couple dozen feet away when she shot him in the chest.
Was that truly "imminent danger?"
The same ruthless defense attorney for the bad guys, now becomes Mary's only chance of not spending the rest of her life in jail. In crimes and trials, there are many shades of gray.
A wonderful twist is added to the story by Thornhill: Walt meets the vigilante (not that he knows that's who he is) and recruits him for C.R.A.P.
Now the police department includes a quasi-bad person, whose intention is to use the information to which he now has access, to bring him closer to the ones he wants to assassinate.
How will this issue be resolved?
The conclusion is sad, but satisfying; Walt's faith in Lady Justice is still secure.
Bring on the next adventure!

A silver bullet to beat cancer?

2012-02-06

The internet is awash with stories of how silver can be used to treat cancer. Now, lab tests have shown that it is as effective as the leading chemotherapy drug - and may have fewer side-effects. Results from the study at the University of Leeds, published in Dalton Transactions, show that particular silver compounds are as toxic to cancer cells as the platinum-based drug Cisplatin, which is widely used to treat a range of cancers. But the crucial difference is that silver is thought to be much less toxic to healthy human cells, and in some cases, can be beneficial. ...

Using plants to silence insect genes in a high-throughput manner

2012-02-06

This press release is available in German. More than 200,000 insects species are herbivores.

Human immune cells react sensitively to 'stress'

2012-02-06

Scientists working with Professor Bernd Kaina of the Institute of Toxicology at the Medical Center of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz have demonstrated for the first time that certain cells circulating in human blood – so-called monocytes – are extremely sensitive to reactive oxygen species (ROS). They were also able to clarify the reason for this: ROS are aggressive forms of oxygen that are generated during states of "oxidative stress" and play a significant role in various diseases. However, ROS are also naturally produced by cells of the immune system, in particular ...
