I felt so guilty yesterday. I had quite a handful of things to return to Costco and the guilt of taking so long to actually get everything together was weighing heavily on me. The big ticket item, the air fryer, wasn’t too old of a purchase. I had bought it only a month or so ago, so that wasn’t too bad, but the cloths were pretty old. I had bought them at the beginning of summer and unfortunately my baby bassets grew so fast, they never got a chance to wear them. They even still had the tags and stickers on them. Costco is without a doubt the easiest place to return things, but I still feel guilty as all heck for taking so long. I was having flashbacks to when I had over due library books. The punishment were severe in those cases, and I am lucky I got out of those penalties with all of my limbs. I knew a guy who had a book that was a month overdue and when he tried to return it he was never heard from again. NO LIE! Actually it was the last day of school and he moved away that summer, but I am sure the two are related.

When is violence necessary?
A Federal manhunt is underway across the United States. A sniper has killed three people in three different cities during the last seventy two hours and he’s gone to ground somewhere in Washington D.C. No-one can find him, and riots have erupted on the streets in response to the shootings.
The lead suspect is a police officer.
As the search for the cop intensifies, the violence engulfing the U.S capital means nowhere and no-one is safe, especially the police, who are being targeted by rioters and gangs are making the most of the opportunity and taking over the streets. With the killer on the loose, individuals are taking the law into their own hands. A fourteen year old boy moves through the riot zone, determined to find the killer. A reporter tries to make her way into the city despite the rioting, wanting to get to the suspect before anyone else.
And NYPD Detective Sam Archer arrives in the city visiting family.
Or so it would appear.
In the eighth instalment of the Sam Archer thriller series, the young NYPD cop finds himself drawn into a situation far beyond his control, in a city being torn apart by rioting and violence. Forced to fight or die and to protect others in danger on the streets, his focus is reduced to the absolute, most basic human instinct: survive.
And as long as Archer has breath in his lungs, he can still fight back.
