Chris ‘risk-averse’ Ayres saw journalism as his ticket to schmoozing with celebrities and penning pompous opinion pieces. Instead he landed a plane ticket to Iraq. When his boss offers him an assignment embedded with US Marines on the frontline in Iraq, he’s too cowardly to say no. He soon finds himself camped in the desert, blinded by sandstorms, surrounded by military machismo on all sides. He decides he wants out. But this, his greatest act of cowardice, will almost kill him. War Reporting for Cowards, a true story, is a seditious insight into the political events that have defined the century.
Stephanie Plum feels her career as a bounty hunter has run its course. She’s been shot at, spat at, mooned at, fire-bombed and attacked by dogs. It’s time for a change; time to find the kind of job her mother can tell her friends about without making the sign of the cross. So Stephanie quits.

Boxer has to make an instantaneous decision: in self-defence, she fires
her weapon — and sets off a chain of events that leaves a police force
disgraced, an entire city dividend and a family destroyed. Now
everything she’s worked for her entire life hinges on the decision of
twelve jurors. Cold in the Earth As a catastrophic virus devastates the Scottish countryside, killing cattle and destroying lives, Detective Inspector Marjory Fleming finds herself at the stormy heart of a troubled, trapped community. Thousands of miles away in New York City, a woman called Laura resolves to unearth the dark secrets of her past. Determined to discover the truth behind her old sister’s disappearance 15 years ago, her journey takes her back to Galloway, to a world of suspicion, fear and menace. A dead person, a missing
girl, and a mysterious family’s dangerous

In 1909, at the age of 14, he was proclaimed as a saviour and, subsequently, taken to England by Annie Besant. There, he was educated privately and groomed for the role of world teacher.
