Childline
Two women - Two crimes - One reason Oxford University student Rosie Ware has it all - beauty, brains and wealth but on her way to a party, she vanishes without a trace. DCI Ian McBride and DS Emma Blakely lead the investigation into her disappearance. In London, an apparent down and out woman is found frozen to death. At first, DI Dan Brennan thinks it’s just another sad death from natural causes but his investigation takes him back twenty-eight years to the disappearance of another young girl. Laura Webb a brilliant computer technician and sometimes hacker links the two enquiries and finds herself much closer to a distressing truth than she would prefer.

Masada
Two thousand years ago, 967 Jewish men, women, and children - the last holdouts of the revolt against Rome following the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Second Temple - reportedly took their own lives rather than surrender to the Roman army.

Accountability for Criminal Justice
Accountability, the idea that people, governments, and business should be held publicly accountable, is a central preoccupation of our time. Criminal justice, already a system for achieving public accountability for illegal and antisocial activities, is no exception to this preoccupation, and accountability for criminal justice therefore takes on a special significance. Seventeen original essays, most commissioned for this volume, have been collected to summarize and assess what has been happening in the area of accountability for criminal justice in English-speaking democracies with common-law traditions during the last fifteen years.

Exploring Sustainable Development is a major new text which provides a multifaceted introduction to key areas of study in this field, examining sustainability at the full range of spatial...
