Cecil & Noreen
What is Cecil and Noreen's secret? How is a love affair sustained over a lifetime?. Cecil Connolly is a man of few words. Each year, in the days leading up to his wedding anniversary, as he lies in bed in his Catholic nursing home, he takes his old cash-box from the bedside cabinet and removes his most precious possessions, the letters his wife wrote to him in the months leading up to their marriage fifty-nine years ago. And each morning, when she comes to visit her husband, Noreen too looks back on their shared life – their courtship, their wedding, their friends and family, the journeys they made together – and realises that her marriage, and her love for Cecil, is still evolving day by day. Cecil & Noreen is a story about ordinary people made extraordinary by their love for one another. Compassionate, funny and moving, it is a poignant, subtle and lyrical study of faith, family, and a couple's lifelong romance.
Last Light Breaking
"Patrick Corcoran's first novel, Last Light Breaking, breaks a silence, telling the story of a survivor of the Great War slaughter who, fearing hostility to his British Army past in post-revolutionary Ireland, chose invisibility as a village postmaster in Somerset for forty years. Corcoran's evocations of a turn-of-the-century Carlow adolescence, dominated by religious mystification and sexual initiation, of chaotic trench warfare, and of inter-war seaside domesticity, are skilful and vivid, but it is in the description of the Connolly's late efforts to grapple with his emotional impoverishment and confusion that Corcoran's writing excels." – TLS Connolly, old, recently widowed, body decli...

Drugs, Crime, and Justice
The twenty-six articles in this edited volume provide perspective on the interrelated issues surrounding the use of drugs in society. Although drugs have long been a social problem, the importance of the issue—and the involvement of the criminal justice system—have varied across time. Public concern has typically centered on illegal drugs, but the drug issue today is even more complex given the impact of prescription drugs. Exaggeration has been a constant theme in the history of public policy on drugs, usually playing on public fear to demonize specific drugs and users. Some drugs are more dangerous than others. The variations in effects impact enforcement, prevention, and treatment. If...

Drugs, Gangs, and Violence
This book examines the nature of transnational organized crime and gangs, and how these diverse organizations contribute to violence, especially in so-called fragile states across Central and Latin America. While the nature of organized crime and violence differs depending on the context, the authors explain how and why states plagued by weak institutions tend to foster criminal organizations and violence, and why counter-crime initiatives often result in higher levels of violence. By examining the consequences of tough on crime policies (e.g., mano dura) in places like Mexico, El Salvador, and Colombia, the volume offers a new perspective on the link between state fragility, crime, and violence.
