The Casebook of Inspector Armstrong - Volume 3
An unknown American tourist, who will one day achieve greatness, visits Carlisle to research his family history. His arrival coincides with Inspector Armstrong's investigating of a macabre series of grave-robbing incidents in the city. The detective's enquiries inadvertently lead him into investigating a case that had lain dormant for over seventy years. The second case is set against the backdrop of the Great War. With the building of the enormous munitions factory at Gretna, Cornelius is faced with the impossible task of controlling thousands of navvies who built and work at the factory, intent on coming into Carlisle on a nightly basis to drink away their disposable income. Labour unrest, Irish sectarianism, women’s suffrage, and the Government’s State Management Scheme are all issues, that when combined, prove every bit as explosive as The Devil’s Porridge.

Sherlock Holmes: the Basil Rathbone Years & Other Films
For more than 100 years, the character of Sherlock Holmes has appeared in scores of films, as well as in a number of television series. For many people, the films made between 1939 and 1946, starring Basil Rathbone as Holmes, with Nigel Bruce as his companion Dr. Watson, remain the most popular. My own introduction to these films began as a small boy, viewing them on television with my father, who had himself seen them all as a boy or very young adult. Rathbones portrayal of Holmes seems to me the most accurate, in the regard of following the way Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote the character, and each of the fourteen films he made playing Holmes have many charming characters and great dialogue....
Faith-Based Health Justice
In Faith-Based Health Justice, a stellar assembly of scholars mines critical insights into the promotion of health justice across Christian and Islamic faith traditions and beyond. Contributors to the volume consider what health justice might mean today, if developed in accordance with faith traditions whose commandment to care for the poor, ill, and marginalized lies at the core of their theology. And what kind of transformation of both faith traditions and public policies would be needed in the face of the health justice challenges in our turbulent time? Contributors to the volume come from a wide range of backgrounds, and the result will be of interest to scholars and students in social ethics, development studies, global theology, interreligious studies, and global health as well as experts, practitioners, and policy-makers in health and development work.
Unstill Waters
This book tells the story of Mia Crane, a lonely but talented young graphic artist from a dysfunctional family, who receives an unexpected inheritance that brings her back to the small town of her paternal heritage, into the orbit of the large and exuberant Lyons clan, and most importantly into the life of playboy architect Drake Lyons. For the first time in her life she has a place that is truly her own and a chance for a new beginning, but there are those who, for a variety of reasons, do not want Mia staying in Waterford. Dealing with occult rumors concerning her deceased great aunt, an urban legend of Confederate gold hidden in her newly acquired house, and the jealousy of other women with designs on the new man in her life, Mias decision to stay is fraught with questions and with potential dangers. The story asks whether the woman who has never been loved and the man who has never been in love can find happiness together in Waterford, and what treasures are worth risking everything for.
