Minneapolis P.I. Marta Hjelm failed to prevent a murder that was waiting to happen. Her guilt has brought her right to the edge of burnout and dropout. But a prize specimen from her ancient past-her cheating ex-husband-appears out of nowhere with a gig too good to turn down. One last job, Marta figures, can't hurt. But hurt it does, as Marta tries to make sense of a terrorist plot at a major ad agency. In the dead of a long, bitter Minnesota winter, she struggles to survive attempts on her life. To understand her conflicted feelings toward an ex who wants her back and toward the man who healed her when everything was dark. To make peace with the ghost of the murder victim she should have saved. And to crack open multiple conspiracies that lead to murder and smoking ruin.

These nanos keep him alive as the secret Mars base crumbles around him under the incredible power of the alien weapons. Now he must escape Mars and get the precious cargo coursing through his bloodstream back to Earth!

Color is all around us, influencing us in subtle psychological ways that are largely unknown to us. Since the effects cause no physical harm, we just take the color communication channel with a harmless "hmmm, interesting but not making a tangible difference in life" view on it. This attitude was not without merit, until the boom in psychological research over the last few decades has now given us cause to re-think the importance of this and other previously unknown influencing factors. Once it's understood that color has a definite and profound influence, it just makes good sense to avail ourselves of this new research and use it to communicate even better, using this knowledge to best effect. Color impacts not only how we view an object, an environment, other people, but also impacts how they see us and how we see ourselves. Your response to color can tell much about you, as well as send subconscious messages about you to others. The secret communication tool hiding in plain sight - when you know how tto read it. Learn how, plus the SmartyPants Secret on color. A SmartyPants Secret is that one piece of information that you need to know to make every job a little bit, or maybe a lot, easier. Almost everything we do in life has a SmartyPants secret that to it, that knowing the "secret" would help tremendously in shortening the learning curve. Experts, who have hours of experience doing what the novice is attempting to do, have intimate knowledge, which may not be so secret, but it is key information that the novice greatly needs. If you've ever struggled with something then learned the 'something' afterwards that caused you to say to yourself or say aloud, "Well, if I only known THAT before I did this, it would've made a world of difference!" then you just learned a SmartyPants secret - the hard way. The short SmartyPants Secrets books give you the secret that you need on a given topic, the most important piece of information that makes the greatest difference between easier success and hard-fought failure. Solving problems is not the SmartyPants concept; rather it is having that key knowledge piece that makes efforts easier and perhaps successful faster. Plus hopefully avoiding having the problem in the first place. We do anything in life because we have a goal to achieve. Reaching that goal successfully, quickly, and easier knowing the SmartPants secret is the SmartyPants concept in action. All SmartyPants secrets have a physiological root, grounded in shared human biology - making every SmartyPants secret valid for everyone. While we are all uniquely different, our common biology consists of inherited traits, stretching back to the Neanderthal era. Applying a SmartyPants secret will work for you no matter who you are.
