"This book describes the population health concerns of small-town America and how these concerns are affected by the unique characteristics of these places focusing on the built environment"--
It is December 10th, 1862 as Leigh Calvert bids goodbye to her father, Colonel William Calvert of Calvert's Legion who is on his way to fight alongside General Lee against the Union army at Fredericksburg, Virginia. But what he and her precocious twelve-year old nephew Thomas do not know is that Leigh is really a Union sympathizer and when she finds a badly wounded Union officer dying in her barn, she must struggle to keep his presence a secret from her father, his men and her Yankee-hating family who have returned home to take shelter at the Calvert Plantation. But the officer has a story of his own to tell. British-born Captain James Merrill has lived a lonely and loveless life among his father's aristocratic family in England. How he comes to be at the Calvert Plantation makes for one of the most unusual tales of the American Civil War.

Scotland Yard is baffled. How can a jeweller disappear from a locked office? What happened to the policeman who was last seen walking along a peaceful country lane? And why did the body of a maharajah vanish from a plane crash site without leaving a trace? At the heart of these mysteries is Arthur Seymour, a reclusive scientist experimenting with uranium and radium. With a broken engagement and a bitter rivalry with the jeweller, he becomes the prime suspect. The police enlist the help of Sir Henry Fordyce, Seymour's neighbour and our reluctant narrator, to uncover the truth and risk his own life in the process. First published in 1926, 'Vanishing Men' is a compelling murder mystery that explores the dark side of early 20th-century scientific research.
