Book Description
What happened before… The Isaacs had everything. Parents to twin teenagers, a boy and a girl, a large house in a secluded spot, money in the bank, good looks, nice cars, holidays abroad. The perfect family. The perfect life. Sacha wished they were her family. She wanted to be a part of them. And for a short time she was. What’s happening now… A single parent, Sacha thought she had struck the right balance between her career as a police officer and caring for her young son. Thought she was enough for him. But now that her father, her childminder to Jake, is moving over five hundred miles away, she’s not so sure. Perhaps it’s time to tell the truth. Except it’s been years since she last spoke to the Isaacs. And that’s a long time to keep a secret like the one she has. What happens next… There are three things that will tear a family apart. Lies, fear, and death. But for Sacha, more damaging than any of these is regret. Because regret will make her wish, with every single cell in her body, that she could turn back the clock. And stop history repeating itself. Next of Kin is a moving story of family dilemma, conflict, and a return to the past, and is the third book in the emotionally fuelled Code Zero police drama series "Kept me absolutely absorbed. It has everything: high drama, terrifying moments, tender moments." "Few authors have the ability to tell a story with the intensity that Dyer does." "Kept me reading into the early hours" "Had me engaged from the start"

Author: Shubh Mathur
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 1793655286
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 455
Book Description
The forcible integration of Kashmir into the Indian union has unleashed a new wave of intense political repression, human rights violations and resource appropriation in Kashmir and has once again made the conflict a focus of international attention. This has led to a paradigm shift in global perceptions and created space for new understandings of the conflict and its possible resolutions. Life, Politics, and Resistance in Kashmir after 2019: A Multidisciplinary Understanding of the Conflict brings together original research and analysis by emerging and established scholars from a range of disciplines to offer a profoundly transformative understanding of the history and experience of Kashmir and the Kashmiris. This book builds a Kashmir-centric narrative of contemporary political and social developments through a discussion of topics ranging from struggles for human rights to environmental destruction and resource appropriation, as well as mental health and the experiences of women, children, political prisoners, and minorities.
