Kate would feel silly for having a crush on a fictional pirate-if he wasn't standing right in front of her. After discovering that her long-term boyfriend has been cheating on her, psychologist Dr. Kate Barnes decides she's still going on their romantic Bahamas getaway-alone. Her vacation takes a turn for the weird when an eccentric bookstore owner insists Kate purchase Pirate's Treasure, claiming it's the perfect book for her. The more she reads, the harder it is to separate fiction from reality, especially when the devastatingly handsome Captain Blackjack swoops into her life to save her from ruffians at a bar. As they grow closer, the similarities between the book and Kate's real life become more pronounced. When the arrival of a puzzle-box from one of Kate's patients launches her into a mystery that seems like it was pulled straight from the pages of Pirate's Treasure, Kate starts to wonder if her sanity is leaving her, too. But when bullets start flying, the book may be Kate's only clue to solving the puzzle box-and saving her life.

Be proud to be a lazy radical! This textbook makes the case for a radical approach to social work that can be embraced by everyone. It's an approach based on real empathy and an understanding of oppression, of managerialism, of the moral heart of social work, of humanism and of the effects of neoliberal hegemony. Jane Fenton provides a model of radical practice for students and social workers who are committed to ‘doing the right thing’, and who want to develop their own framework for practice. This book will appeal to students who are activists, but want to frame their individual-level practice in a meaningful way, and to those who are non-activist and non-political but simply want to be good social workers. It will give a political and moral understanding of social work practice and lead to confident, value-based and enjoyable social work.
