Killer Island
A beautiful island with a dark past. Kangaroo Island off the rugged coast of South Australia, is the perfect place for a family holiday - but it is a little island with a big secret. When the new police constable Dudley 'Deadly' Nicholls arrives on the Island, after a turbulent career on the mainland and an equally choppy ferry ride, he is expected to tow-the-line. But when he stumbles across a dark secret, he fights against all odds to uncover the truth. He soon discovers that things are not what they seem in this idyllic tourist destination. With the Island's famous Flinders Chase Cup set to go ahead, the high rollers are flying in and heading down to the luxurious Acacia Bay Resort. Ambitious and resourceful Mayor Don Ferris is hatching a plan to boost the local economy, which doesn't involve budget backpackers. Meanwhile, environmentalist Kurt Nilsen has other plans when he embarks on a four day trek along the southern coast of 'Killer Island'. Robert Koehne's vivid descriptions of the island's beautiful scenery and local characters will have you enthralled as you unravel the dark secrets lurking on the Island.

Hailed as the “American Chekhov” by the Times Literary Supplement, Raymond Carver is the most popular and influential American short-story writer since Ernest Hemingway.

Governance and Economic Growth in Nigeria
Governance and Economic Growth in Nigeria: The Role of China and the U.S. between 2001–2011 examines why Nigeria experienced steady economic growth in GDP between 2001–2011. Saidat Ilo argues that improved governance as well as the perceived competition between China and the United States has impacted this growth. She analyzes this perceived rivalry and their policies closely. This book not only contributes to development theories by focusing and analyzing governance but it also goes a step further by filling a gap of contending theories which fail to consider the role governance plays in economic growth and progress particularly in the developing world. Through in-depth research, Saidat Ilo discovers how China and the United States’ foreign policies influence decisions on foreign aid and trade in Nigeria. She shows that there is a direct correlation between good governance and economic growth in Nigeria and provides policy recommendations based on this research.
