Charles Warren, Los Angeles attorney, has dedicated his career to aiding people in financial straits. He is particularly skilled at the art of recovering assets that have been embezzled or hidden. In his newest case, helping a beautiful young widow find the money missing from her late husband's investment accounts, Charlie recognizes a familiar scheme-one that echoes the con job that targeted his own widowed mother many years before, and that led him, as a teenager, to commit a crime of retribution that still weighs on his conscience.Charlie can't get the present case out of his mind, but within hours of starting his investigation, he is followed, shot at, and has his briefcase stolen. It's clear that someone doesn't want him following the trail of the missing money but, as Charlie continues to pursue answers, he quickly becomes too entangled in the web of fraud, betrayal, and career criminals surrounding the theft to escape its deadly snare.A nail-biting tale of conspiracy and pursuit from Thomas Perry, "a dominating force in the world of contemporary suspense thrillers" (Publishers Weekly), Pro Bono will have readers looking over their shoulders as constantly as they keep turning pages.

This book is about research- and evidence-informed educational improvement. It synthesises and reframes the distinct schools of thought within the Educational Effectiveness and Improvement (EEI) fields for a renewed research and professional education agenda. At the book's heart is a problem: that educational improvement is often short-lived, rarely achieved at scale and, as some prominent researchers have argued, mostly illusory. The chapters describe and critique this divided field and reviews, synthesises and reframes the combined knowledge base. Building on this acknowledge of division, the book looks with scepticism, pragmatism and optimism towards the future for solutions in evidence-informed improvement.
