Rogue Clerics
During the past several years the mass media in the United States has been awash with reports of priestly pedophilia, ecclesiastical cover-up, and clerical intimidation or financial settlements intended to silence victims. Based on journalistic accounts, or scholarly research, it might be assumed that this is a recent phenomenon. Journalist reports began only within the past few years. Similarly, most sociologists of religion and particularly specialists in deviance and criminology did not reflect awareness of clerical misbehavior in their work. Despite this, Anson Shupe shows that clergy deviance, whether it is sexual or otherwise, is not merely a recent problem. It is as old as the church ...
Glory, Glory Lane
Glory, Glory Lane is the life-affirming history - including a momentous last season - of a world-famous football stadium, home to Tottenham Hotspur for 118 years. A Victorian structure turned wraparound 21st-century all-seater, it became a theatre of dreams for supporters all attracted by teams which played the 'Spurs way' to achieve glory. The Lane gave a stage to a conveyor belt of legends from Cameron to Alli via Nicholson, Blanchflower, Greaves, Hoddle and Klinsmann. It provided unforgettable memories in unforgettable atmospheres - heart-lifting, heart-breaking, nerve-racking. Its story veers from founders obsessed by Harry Hotspur to Harry Kane via Harry Redknapp; through matches, personalities, ground developments and threatened closure, all with first-hand accounts. It's hard to imagine how a new �750m stadium can ever replace the edifice which shut its gates for the last time after Spurs played Manchester United in May 2017, having created a daunting legacy.

Eternal Vigilance?
Eternal Vigilance? seeks to offer reinterpretations of some of the major established themes in CIA history such as its origins, foundations, its treatment of the Soviet threat, the Iranian revolution and the accountability of the agency. The book also opens new areas of research such as foreign liaison, relations with the scientific community, use of scientific and technical research and economic intelligence. The articles are both by well-known scholars in the field and young researchers at the beginning of their academic careers. Contributors come almost equally from both sides of the Atlantic. All draw, to varying degrees, on recently declassified documents and newly-available archives and, as the final chapter seeks to show, all point the way to future research.
The Devil's Snare
Summer. The New Forest. A child alone in a holiday caravan. When her parents return, she's gone. Two years later the Barbers are still searching for their daughter. But are they faking? The police say yes. Likewise a dangerous vigilante. If the law can't touch the "Killer Couple" then he'll bring justice his own way. Investigator Eddie Flynn steps in to protect the Barbers and to search for their child. But it's not only the vigilante Flynn must battle. He's in a race with the tabloids to get to the truth about the missing child. And the more Flynn unearths, the more he senses that his clients are hiding an unpalatable truth. Eddie Flynn, the irrepressible P.I. from Behind Closed Doors is back - on another job he should never have touched.
Called From The Fields
Michael Donovan was a young man of 19 when he experienced a sudden and dramatic calling to become a priest. Because he had left school early to work on his father's farm, it proved a difficult path to follow because of his lack of education, but he persevered and was eventually ordained as a member of the Society of the Divine Word (SVD). In 1981 he travelled to Papua New Guinea, where he began work as a priest in remote rural parishes and later as a teacher and spiritual director. Called From The Fields, based on letters he wrote over forty years, gives a fascinating insight into the life of a missionary and its many challenges and rewards.
