Nobody Will Ever Forgive Us
Patrick comes home unexpectedly from the seminary and older brother Johnny's not slow to tap him for money. Mum is suspicious, Dad seems indifferent, and pissed, and little sister Cath is distracted and medicated. Nobody Will Ever Forgive Us is the story of a family under siege. Living on their wits and stalked by violence, they defend themselves with the blackest of humour. The play was produced as part of the National Theatre of Scotland/Traverse Theatre's Debuts season and premiered at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh in November 2008. 'A keen sense of theatrical dynamics, vigorous dialogue and ready wit.' Guardian
Kill a Killer
Nick Powers gave up a career in law enforcement at the behest of his wife, Caroline, after his hunt for serial killer Billy Bonner almost cost him his marriage. Six months later, however, when he gets a telegram from Canadian authorities asking for his help in an investigation, he jumps at the chance. A serial killer is loose up north, and the similarities are hard to ignore. Is Bonner back? If so, who better to stop him than the cop who hunted him in New York? Nick's obsession with the job soon earns him a divorce. Along with his buddy Pete Dawson, he opens a private detective agency in Manhattan. Business is good. Nick almost forgets all about Bonner until he and Dawson are summoned to Los Angeles, where Bonner is suspected to have struck again. His body count is into the hundreds; this monster must be stopped. As the investigation heats up, Bonner makes things personal. He involves a member of Nick's family, and now Nick is out for blood. Despite this killer's intellect and elusiveness, Nick and Dawson will stop at nothing to bring a murderer to justice. The closer Nick gets to Bonner, though, the more his emotions take over; Nick may soon take the law into his own hands.
The Skull
There has never been a more feared or respected policeman in Australia than Brian “Skull” Murphy. Bestselling author Adam Shand tells the story of the last of the super cops. Through dramatic recreations, The Skull follows Brian Murphy on the beat as he collars big-time crims and small-time thugs, rubs shoulders with corrupt officials and flashy assassins, and uses a combination of old-school persuasion and self-styled ‘slychology’ to recruit his network of informers. Murphy ventures into the grey areas of law enforcement and the criminal underworld of the ’70s and ’80s, where he confronts such renowned villains as Christopher Dale Flannery, the Kane brothers and Ray Chuck. Fast-paced and gritty, The Skull is the life and times of a legendary crime-fighter. ‘An energetic writing style that often captures the emotion of some truly extraordinary scenes.’ —NineMSN ‘A fascinating read ... an insider’s insight into Melbourne’s underworld.’ —Examiner ‘An enjoyably racy biography of a police officer’ —Sydney Morning Herald
A Fine Night for Dying
The body was dragged out of the English Channel in the nets of a local fishing boat. After six weeks on the seabed, weighted down with seventy pounds of chain, there wasn't a lot left of gangland boss Harvey Preston - but what there was made Paul Chavasse's stomach turn. Special Branch had handed the case over to 'The Bureau' - that little-known branch of British Intelligence that handled the sort of business no one else wanted to touch. The last time The Bureau had been called in, Chavasse had spent six months in three of the worst gaols in Britain, not to mention nearly getting his leg blown off. But that was nothing compared to this case - a case which was almost as delicate as it was dangerous.

Sociological Wonderment
Accessible and engaging, Sociological Wonderment brings sociology into the personal lives of students. In the tradition of C. Wright Mills, the author shows how personal concerns should be considered within public contexts. The book's unique thematic approach, topicality, and the way it challenges students' assumptions about social life make it an invaluable supplement. The interactive learning approach of Sociological Wonderment eases the job of instruction. Students come to grips with the perplexing and enigmatic puzzles at the heart of the sociological enterprise, while Higgins demonstrates that all is not what it seems to be. The author does not presume to know the truth in full, and he explicitly states as much. Rather, his style encourages students to recognize their own value orientations on pivotal issues, removing the illusion that sociologists can or should be value-free. Sociological Wonderment is a thought-provoking search, an adventure, and an attempt to find one's way through the great maze of our social world. Students will find it a challenging but meaningful quest. A brief Instructor's Resource Guide is available.
