What Am I Doing Here?
The second part of Ken Walker's autobiography follows on from where his bestselling first book Nothing Easy ends. It continues the story from the break-up of his marriage and the collapse of his first business through all his up and downs from 1977 to the present day. Like its predecessor, this book gives the reader an insight into the (extra)ordinary life of Yorkshireman Ken Walker through his many spellbinding tales. In the process we follow Ken's travels to Romania, America, Italy, Spain, Sri Lanka, France, Australia and even Scotland ... but he's always happiest when he returns to his beloved Yorkshire Dales. Whether clambouring through snowdrifts, restarting a business, learning to paraglide, taking charity supplies to Romania, experiencing bankruptcy, potholing, scaling the odd canyon or writing a book - you'll see why he often asks himself ... "What am I doing here?"

Engagingly written and solidly grounded in evidence, this is a definitive study of murder in the United States. O'Kane explores the phenomena of homicide, illustrating the journalists' "who, what, why, when,...
