One woman found dead. Another kidnapped. Two cases. Two books. One overworked Scottish detective. When the body of an attractive young woman is found in woodland on Edinburgh's iconic Calton Hill, DI Jack Knox quickly establishes that she had worked as a prostitute. For this reason, getting people who knew her to come forward will prove difficult. Knox will have to cut through their lies, establish a motive and collar the killer. This is the detective's dilemma in LABYRINTH, the prequel to a new series of mysteries set in Scotland's capital. In THE INNOCENT AND THE DEAD, the second book in the series, DI Jack Knox is called in to investigate a high-profile case. A local distiller's daughter ...

Opportunity Knox
A hilarious collection of Jack Knox's best-loved humour columns. In this side-splitting follow-up to the bestseller Hard Knox: Musings from the Edge of Canada, Jack Knox presents his best writing, marking his twenty-year anniversary as a humour columnist at the Victoria Times Colonist, the newspaper that made him a household name. Revisiting his most—and least!—popular columns, Knox weighs the potential benefits of a marijuana-like drug that reduces anxiety in rats; reports on the “Bush Boys,” a pair of brothers who emerged from the forest near Vernon with a dubious story about being raised in the wilderness (they were actually from suburban California); and muses over fictional characters such as Barbie, Ken, Harry Potter, and Archie growing up and facing the grim realities of life. He also includes a hilarious collection of “nastygrams” (a.k.a. hate mail) that he’s received over the past two decades. Opportunity Knox goes to show that humour comes when you least expect it. From politics to weather, sports to entertainment, Knox finds the bizarre in everyday life and the ordinary in what should by all accounts be bizarre.
Hard Knox
In Hard Knox, seasoned columnist and consummate everyman Jack Knox offers up his uniquely hilarious views on Canadian life as seen from the western fringes of the country--in particular from the "Island of Misfit Toys" as he aptly calls his Vancouver Island home. This treasure trove of west-coast wit and wisdom touches on everything from "smug anti-Americanism" to extreme weather to flagrant public displays of affection in Canada's westernmost capital. Whether you're a born-and-bred Islander, a transplanted Albertan in the throes of culture shock, or a confused tourist, we all have something to learn from the school of Hard Knox.
Thelon
David Pelly tells the Thelon's story, exploring the mystery of Man's relationship with this special place in the heart of Canada's vast Arctic barrenlands. From Thanadelthur and Telaruk to J.W. Tyrrell, John Hornby and Eric Morse, the history is detailed, complete and exciting. The Thelon is the setting for a compelling Canadian adventure tale -- with all its drama, intrigue, joy and tragedy. But the writer goes beyond that to contemplate the significance of the Thelon wilderness, and to examine its uncertain future. "It is the richness of human experience, layered on top of the natural splendour of the river valley and its wildlife, that really sets the Thelon apart. The place has a history, both Native and non-Native, which gives it standing beyond the intrinsic value of wilderness itself." David Pelly writes as one who has been there time and again. He knows the Thelon from personal experience. As a freelance writer for 20 years, he has travelled many parts of the Arctic, but claims that "nowhere draws me back more powerfully than the Thelon."
After Z-Hour
Stranded by a South Island storm, six people usurp the stillness of an old house. As they tell the fragments of their story, a seventh voice responds: a young New Zealand serviceman who died in 1920, soon after his return from France. As the storm deepens, the hauntings of the mind and the hauntings of the house become one. First published on Armistice Day 1987, After Z-Hour won the PEN Award for Best First Book of Prose.
Strange Antics: A History of Seduction
When is seduction about more than just sex? In this brilliantly original history, Clement Knox explores these questions as well as the philosophy, legality, politics, art and literature of a force that underwrites our world.
The Falling
"Knox's attention was demanded by the leather clad girl's presence as she staggered up to him. The empty street seemed scarce as he looked at the beautiful girl with black hair. She looked at him with the blackest of eyes and mumbled something before collapsing into his arms. Her limp body lying in his arms and no one around."Bryndis' lack of modesty was overwhelming and Knox's inability to keep his private thoughts to himself drove him crazy. She spoke of the Batheidh, her kind. The Ivaldi, that wanted her dead. The Nidan, that stood by her silently.Souls calling to each other...Speaking without words...Dire wolves, Andvarins, gods and goddesses. Knox's world was altered from what he knew as normal into a darker world with fear and death.Bryndis was the center of it all...
Mr. Prosecutor (HC)
Mr. Prosecutor By: Terry Jones Esq. 25 Years Fighting Crime in the South: A Memoir: Former Prosecuting Attorney in the 4th Judicial District of Arkansas Terry Jones Esq. For more than 20 years, Terry Jones began each trial with this opening statement: “Good morning, my name is Terry Jones. I am the Prosecuting Attorney for the 4th Judicial District and in that capacity I represent people of the State of Arkansas.” His memoir is a frank and entertaining insider’s look at the American justice system. From the sensational Billie Jean Phillips murder trial, to religious con men, to brutal assault charges, “The cases described here are authentic, although some of the names have been changed to protect the innocent, or the stupid, or because I could not remember who the hell they were.”
