Killing by the Book
After a postman discovers a woman brutally murdered in West London, it seems like just another isolated incident in an uncaring city. When Detective Inspector Scott Daley and Detective Sergeant Deborah Whetstone are called in to investigate, they find striking similarities with an unsolved homicide four years before and they fear that a serial killer has awoken. Soon they are immersed in a web of silence and half truths, stretching back to an enigmatic fraternity group at Coventry University in the 1990s. As the sins of the past bleed through to the present, Daley and Whetstone are in a race to uncover the dark secret that lies beneath the surface of these ordinary lives before the killer finds their next victim. Who was exterminating the Monday Club and why?
The Farm
For some, the darkness is only the beginning. When Detective Inspector Scott Daley returns after a long battle with injury, he has no idea of the horrors that face him.

A string of mysterious disappearances has left North West London reeling. A kidnapper, dubbed by the press The Zone 6 Snatcher, stalks late-night travellers. An urban community in terror. The public want answers. Then, an innocuous traffic accident spills it's gruesome load and reveals a horrific past, hinting a mass murderer is at large. Coincidence or something more sinist...

Crippled
The austerity crisis and threat to disability rights. New updated edition includes the impact of COVID on Britain's 14 million disabled people. In austerity Britain, disabled people have been recast as worthless scroungers. From social care to the benefits system, politicians and the media alike have made the case that Britain’s 12 million disabled people are nothing but a drain on the public purse. In Crippled, journalist and campaigner Frances Ryan exposes the disturbing reality, telling the stories of those most affected by this devastating regime. It is at once both a damning indictment of a safety net so compromised it strangles many of those it catches and a passionate demand for an end to austerity, which hits hardest those most in need.
Violence, Order, and Unrest
This edited collection offers a broad reinterpretation of the origins of Canada. Drawing on cutting-edge research in a number of fields, Violence, Order, and Unrest explores the development of British North America from the mid-eighteenth century through the aftermath of Confederation. The chapters cover an ambitious range of topics, from Indigenous culture to municipal politics, public executions to runaway slave advertisements. Cumulatively, this book examines the diversity of Indigenous and colonial experiences across northern North America and provides fresh perspectives on the crucial roles of violence and unrest in attempts to establish British authority in Indigenous territories. In the aftermath of Canada 150, Violence, Order, and Unrest offers a timely contribution to current debates over the nature of Canadian culture and history, demonstrating that we cannot understand Canada today without considering its origins as a colonial project.

The Witches of Selwood Forest
The ancient forest of Selwood straddles the borders of Somerset and Wiltshire and terminates in the south where these counties meet Dorset. Until now, a comprehensive study of its exceptionally rich history of demonological beliefs and witchcraft persecution in the early modern period has not been attempted. This book explores the connections between important theological texts written in the region, notably Richard Bernard’s Guide to the Grand-Jury Men (1627) and Joseph Glanvill’s Saducismus Triumphatus (1681), influential local families such as the Hunts and the Hills, and the extraordinary witchcraft episodes associated with Shepton Mallet, Brewham, Stoke Trister, and elsewhere. In particular, it focuses on a little-known case in the village of Beckington in 1689, and shows how this was not a late, isolated episode, but an integral part of the wider Selwood Forest witchcraft story.
