Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
Welcome to the life of Laura Timmings, a criminal psychologist by day and as crazy as they come in her personal life. In her fifties and fighting crime in more ways than one, she relocates to a small village in North Wales, that boasts the beautiful mountains of Snowdonia and a private beach. Her professionalism and character gives her a high success rate with offenders of crime, so she is admired across the board. Her friendship with her greatest and long time friends (whom she calls sisters) has now become a partnership, which is far from what Laura preaches, and the roll they have taken on, is highly inconceivable to themselves. When Laura’s life is put in jeopardy for the second time, she seems to be spiralling out of control and is driven to an even darker side where THE PARTNERSHIP takes on a different meaning. Her son is her world, and Tom an obsession that helped her through what she thought were the last hours of her life. Tom appears to her in a dream and what he tells her becomes truth, as well as saves her. This is a fast paced psychological thriller, that will leave the reader wondering where these four women will go to next. With twists and turns, ‘WHAT WOULD TOM DO?’ is left open for the PARTNERSHIP to carry on their own private justice. Abhorrent behaviour, sexual content and swearing throughout!

A Kid Out the Flats

ISBN: 1035839997
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Amidst the squalor of 1960s East End London, this visceral novel plunges readers into the young life of John Best, a boy whose path leads to a life of crime forged on the poverty-stricken streets. From the bustling docks to derelict council estates, A Kid Out the Flats chronicles Best’s descent into the city’s turbulent criminal underbelly. Stealing to survive alongside his gang of mates, John soon finds himself caught between warring factions of the IRA and Jamaican Yardie drug gangs. The narrative brings an unflinching authenticity to this tale of resilience against deprivation, violence, and familial strife. John’s misadventures unfurl in a close-knit yet volatile community, pulling no punches in depicting his brushes with these murderous organisations and London’s outlandish criminal outfits. Anecdotes of the East End’s most notorious personalities and crimes lend a gritty realism to this immersive journey through the area’s darkest eras and ugly drug trade realities. Yet it remains John Best’s story of triumph – a tenacious battle for survival, friendship, and family loyalties in a world where Irish paramilitaries clash with Jamaican drug lords on London’s unforgiving streets. Raw and uncompromising, A Kid Out the Flats plunges into the abyss of London’s criminal depths and one man’s resolute determination to conquer the demons that breed there, even as he navigates the dangerous waters between opposing criminal forces.

On Germany

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
After the Second World War, Germany was an international pariah. Today, it has become a beacon of the Western world. But what makes this extraordinary nation tick? On Germany tells the story of a country reborn, from defeat in 1945 to the fall of the Berlin Wall, the painstaking reunification of "the two Germanies" and the Republic's return to the world stage as an economic colossus and European leader. Giles MacDonogh restores these momentous events of world history to their German context, from the food and drink that accompanied them to the deep-rooted provincialism behind the national story. Full of vivid and often whimsical vignettes of German life, this is a Germanophile's homage to the culture and people of a country he has known for decades.
