They were both from Parkchester in the Bronx—Tom McCabe, the top scorer for Cardinal Hayes Memorial’s state basketball champions and Chris Russo, who fed him under the boards. They were inseparable through graduation. McCabe then opted for the Washington Heights campus of CCNY while Russo joined the marines and then the cops. As our story begins, they’re together again, Thomas Jarvis McCabe, is New York City’s mayor, and James Christopher Russo, his police commissioner. Then a brutal, seemingly senseless murder of two prominent community activists goes down in the last six months of the mayor’s first term in office—he’d be running for reelection in just three months. The investigation of the killings takes some strange turns and hits some unexpected detours, creating serious personal and political implications for McCabe and Russo. The Chief Medical Examiner will raise some forensic questions, the Bronx chapter of the Genovese mob will get some unwelcome scrutiny; and the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York will eagerly jump into the investigation when some surprising, almost inconceivable conspiracies emerge.
When I speak about "unmistakable," it references God, not us. We stand amazed at His mercy, forgiveness, and patience. We are utterly unworthy of any of His interventions in our lives. My dear friend Jack says it best in his foreword to the book: "Turn these pages slowly and swallow these words carefully as you take in what God is still doing today. Roy's story pulls you into the darkest corridors of pain and through the most impossible of barriers to witness what the Almighty does to change the heart of a man or a woman." Jack continues, "What can you say when you encounter a Bible that survives a fire that reduces everything around it to ashes, a paralyzing black mamba bite that takes Roy ...

The high street is in crisis. How did we get here and what happens next? The global pandemic has made the crisis immeasurably worse but it wasn’t the cause. The crisis was already raging in 2019 with thousands of store closures. Large retailers became complacent and failed to respond to changing consumer behaviour. Town centres are the victims of these changes rather than the cause of them. To understand the current crisis and how it might be addressed, this book takes a long view of retailing based on a hundred case studies. It looks at the way town centres responded to previous crises and explores current trends affecting town centres and how places are responding. The message is optimistic: adaptable town centres can once more become the diverse, characterful, independent places that existed before they were homogenised by big retail. Explore the past – understand the present – find a better future.

For all its wonderful achievements, both on stage and off, Market Harborough Drama Society had something else to be proud of when it reached its 75th anniversary this year. It was a milestone worthy of celebration – and some of the more pro-active members of the society got to work organising what form those celebrations should take. A number of events were planned. One aim was to update the book Stage By Stage, first published during the society’s diamond jubilee year in 1993. It was decided that, when the book was updated in the 75th anniversary year, the original Stage By Stage, conceived and written as a labour of love by the late Arthur Jones, who had long-standing links with the so...
