FBI agents are trained to delve deep into the minds of the most dangerous predators. So when the tables are turned and the hunter becomes the prey, they can trust their instincts—and their hearts—to keep each other from harm... FBI Special Agent Hannah Cambridge is trying to rebuild her life after the death of her partner. But Jack Benton wasn't just a fellow agent. He was her lover—and the father of her newborn baby. Now Hannah is in Boston, heading a task force to catch a serial killer. It's a case that could make or break her career. Until the madman turns his twisted sights on her... When Jack Benton went deep undercover, he thought it was a way out of a relationship that was spiraling beyond his control. He never knew Hannah wouldn't be told about his “death”—or that she was pregnant. Turning up in Boston in the flesh, and looking better than ever, will send Hannah into a tailspin. But both will need to keep their wits about them to keep her alive—and to survive the truth about the passion that binds them...

This interactive, role-playing case book is an enormously rich and stimulating way of challenging students to think about the problems of development and how development experts go about trying to alleviate them. One of the most innovative and eloquent anthropologists of development, A. F. Robertson has drawn from his extensive field experience to construct a hypothetical scenario of the sort typically encountered by those who are making development decisions.

Background Weekend catch-up sleep (WCS) may alleviate weekday sleep deprivation, but its relationship with depression risk remains unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to explore the association between WCS and depression risk.Methods A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus for observational studies published up to June 1, 2024. Data extraction and bias assessment were independently performed by two reviewers. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated, with model selection based on the I2 statistic. Sensitivity analyses and publication bias tests were also conducted.Results A total of ten cross-sectional studies (326,871 participants) were included. Meta-analysis showed that WCS was significantly associated with a reduced risk of depression (OR = 0.80, 95 % CI: 0.68–0.90). Subgroup analyses showed moderate amounts of WCS (0–2 h) may be protective, but WCS beyond 2 h had limited protective effects against depression. Qualitative analyses showed that the protective effect of WCS against depression was more pronounced in men and middle-aged adults, and was particularly applicable to those who were sleep-deprived on weekdays.Limitations The cross-sectional design of included studies limits causality inference, and the sample primarily represents populations from the United States and South Korea, potentially affecting generalizability.Conclusions Moderate WCS is associated with lower depression risk in those with weekday sleep deficits, while excessive WCS may have diminishing or adverse effects. Further research should examine optimal WCS duration and underlying mechanisms.
