The Secrets of Rue St Roch
Spring 1917 on the Western Front: how were the Allies to discover where the Germans were going to make their next push, which parts of the line they were reinforcing? In this first full account of an Allied spying operation behind enemy lines during the First World War, Morgan describes how British military intelligence set up its Paris office in 1917 and persuaded a Luxembourg woman of remarkable courage to return as a spy to her native country to watch over the crucial railway marshalling yards there. To join her they sent Albert Baschwitz Meau, one of the most dashing, brave and colourful characters of this or any other war, who was floated one dark night in spring 1918 in an unpowered balloon over German lines... Morgan reveals how the Allies recruited agents in Europe and ran their operations in enemy-controlled territory. But as well as the espionage story, she also tells the personal stories of the individual men and women who worked under such intense pressure and in such exceptional circumstances. This is one of the most significant, as well as one of the most exciting, contributions to the literature of the First World War for many years.

The book has delighted readers of Christie's detective stories for more than 30 years with its clear view of her career and personality, and this edition includes a new foreword by the author reflecting on the longevity of Agatha Christie's extraordinary success and popularity.

At the End of the Bus Ride
At the End of the Bus Ride: A Teacher's Tale is an inside view of school desegregation in the districts where Janet Morgan taught over a period of two and a half decades. Morgan sheds a stark and chilling light on how black students and educators fared when the bus ride came to an end, and they walked into a new and sometimes hostile environment. With wit and poetry, Morgan artfully shares stories and anecdotes filled with the comedy, tragedy, and absurdities of race that found their way into the school with bombast. The most hopeful and inspiring pieces of the story came from interactions with students. Drawn into the controversy, Janet Morgan endured a lengthy suspension from her teaching position but distinguished herself as the teacher solely responsible for the establishment of an Academic Freedom standard for public school teachers in the state of New York.

Metamorphoses
Sheryl St. Germain's prose poems and Janet Morgan's exuberant art celebrate not only woman and nature, but the intricate and imaginative ways they connect. The voices in these poems speak as woman, but also as water, earth, air, flora and fauna. Taken together, words and art create surreal portraits of the female as spiritual and physical embodiments of the natural world.

Praise Quotes for Poetic Justice: "Poetic Justice has it all--a coastal Maine setting, Shakespeare and the Greek gods, characters the reader will want to see much more of--and murder. Get ready to stay up late trying to guess who killed Alfonse Sweetzer--the man so many of his neighbors in idyllic Wyleyville had every reason to hate." - Susan Connelly, author of the Nell Prentice Mystery Series "There's no better setting for a cozy than a library--and librarian Jessie Tyler is an appealing character I hope to read more about. Janet Morgan is a wise and gentle storyteller with the sure hand of an expert angler who hooks readers and keeps them guessing right up to the last chapter of Poetic Justice." - Leslie Meier, author of the Lucy Stone Mystery Series
