When property surveyor and treasure hunter Sam Peters visits the Isle of Wight, the locals are surprised when he literally strikes gold… only to be murdered soon afterwards. The case is given to keen-minded Hampshire-based Detective Inspector Bruno Peach, who - as always - seeks the assistance of his trusty sidekick, headmistress Janet Gibson to bring the killer to justice. Together they seem to be unravelling the mystery piece by piece, but little do they know that their investigations will soon see an older unsolved local killing resurrected from the grave. This fantastic page-turner of a murder mystery is the latest release from much-loved and critically acclaimed author James London, who brings his usual fresh and unique style to this popular genre. The book will appeal to a wide range of readers, including fans of traditional British detective fare and those who have either holidayed in or live on the beautiful island.
As intimate as they are inspiring, these stories of transformation, drawn from the oral histories of formerly homeless adults, testify to the determination of the human spirit and the healing power of sharing one’s journey. This gripping collection gives voice to the traditionally voiceless, inviting men and women from a variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds to share their experiences of what it was like to live on the streets, in cars, under bridges, and of how they discovered the inner motivation to change the course of their lives in a positive direction. An important contribution to understanding how destructive patterns can be broken, this book examines some key questions: How do those who have suffered from homelessness and the hardships that accompany it find the inspiration and courage to break the seemingly endless cycle, transform their lives, and become self-sufficient? What emotional price do they pay? When do they realize that enough is enough? How do they learn to trust new people when so many have disappointed them? Homeless people can and do find a way off the streets, as these men and women reveal through their stories, paintings, and poetry.
