Against their Will
Detective Inspector Isobel Woods returns to work after her wedding and honeymoon in France, but things are not quite what she expected. Her boss DCI Adele Addison confines her to a desk job where she is to remain for the foreseeable future. When a hit and run incident is reported on her patch, Woods questions the investigating officer and insists on offering her help. She is concerned that due to pressures from ongoing cases he will be unable to give the job his full attention, so Woods manages to convince Addison to let her take over the case. At first, it seemed like a good idea, but it soon begins to develop into something more sinister. Kidnap and sex trafficking is something that Woods finds particularly upsetting and as her investigation progresses, it soon becomes apparent that drugs also play a major role. Working in conjunction with an International team, Woods has to move decisively, put an end to these atrocious crimes before others are unwittingly drawn in.

Manchester United
A warm welcome to this e-mag edition of Manchester United – An Anthology.’ As you will see from the list of contents, it’s a pick-n-mix compendium of writings from the eras of Tommy Docherty, Dave Sexton, and Ron Atkinson. It’s split into ordered sections, but it’s more of a dip-in anthology. It contains the great triumphs – along with a few disasters, and there are vignettes on some of the great players, with some who didn’t quite make it. There are specially composed match reports on the great Cup finals, and a section on the rivalries United faced during the above eras. It’s something a bit different that will take you on a journey down memory lane. For younger readers, it will give an insight into what United was all about before the arrival of Sir Alex Ferguson. It was a diverse era for its moments of trials, as well as glorious moments of unforgettable joy. RE-EDITED 2021 PLEASE DOWNLOAD NEW VERSION OF BOOK FORMAT DECEMBER 2021
