The Dark Edge of the Sea
Set during the Second World War, this cliff-hanger begins in the condemned cell. Born in Liverpool in the 1920s David Stevenson joins the Royal Navy as a medic. He returns home unexpectedly and finds his wife with another man. Wild with rage he attacks the man and leaves him unconscious. Before the police apprehend him he sails onboard his destroyer HMS Decoy for the Mediterranean. Earlier, on HMS Hollyhock, a Flower class frigate, David had faced the perils of U-boat warfare in the Atlantic and is recommended for the Distinguished Service Medal. Now he is a fugitive and is exposed to the terrible carnage during the evacuation of Crete. But what will happen when the law finally catches up with him? This meticulously researched story, raunchy in part and told with typical humour, ends with a subtle twist that will keep the reader guessing until the last page.

American Journalism and International Relations
American Journalism and International Relations argues that the American press' disengagement from world affairs has critical repercussions for American foreign policy. Giovanna Dell'Orto shows that discourses created, circulated, and maintained through the media mold opinions about the world and shape foreign policy parameters. This book is a history of U.S. foreign correspondence from the 1840s to the present, relying on more than 2,000 news articles and twenty major world events, from the 1848 European revolutions to the Mumbai terror attacks in 2008. Americans' perceptions of other nations, combined with pervasive and enduring understandings of the United States' role in global politics, act as constraints on policies. Dell'Orto finds that reductive media discourse (as seen during the 1967 War in the Middle East or Afghanistan in the 1980s) has a negative effect on policy, whereas correspondence grounded in events (such as during the Japanese attack on Shanghai in the 1930s or the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991) fosters effective leadership and realistic assessments.
Stroke of Luck
Shortly after the death of his wife, Lester Riley, an invalid who has suffered a premature stroke, announces to his three estranged middle-aged children that he is getting married again – to his young, sexy Japanese nurse. His children are also shocked to learn that Lester has saved an enormous amount of money from his secret life as the exclusive television and radio repairman to a Long Island Mafia family. To stop the nurse from getting this surprise inheritance they must stop the marriage. They try every trick in the book: legal, religious, psychological and – in the case of one son – criminal. But they fail; or do they? Lester, it seems, has a few tricks up his own sleeve. Stroke of Luck is a dark comedy that explores the themes of greed and guilt, how to reunite families that have been driven apart, and how debilitating physical ailments do not necessarily mean diminished mental faculties.
