Drinking Midnight Wine

There is a world beyond the world It figures. Just when Bradfordian bookshop clerk, Toby Dexter, finally works up the nerve to talk to his secret crush, she darts into an open door. Toby follows, and in that second, everything changes. Though it still looks like Bradford-on-Avon, the town’s suddenly chatty ATM and river mermaids are the first clues that something is quite out of place—namely, Toby. The moment he stepped through that door, Toby entered the magical parallel world of Mysterie. Our ordinary dimension—the one Toby knew as Bradford-on-Avon—is actually Veritie, a mere shadow of its alter ego, Mysterie, where magic and myth, gods and monsters, living legends and walking nigh...

THE LAWS OF ELEANOR unfolds one summer as three women sit at the kitchen table talking and drinking gin, riding in a tow truck all over the mountain, sitting at the table talking and drinking gin, going out to eat greasy restaurant food, sitting at the table talking and drinking gin. Toby is the tow truck driver, mountain woman, horse trader, whose words are boulders in an unfordable dry riverbed. Eleanor is simply a Kansas transplant, whose words are like tiny stones of Sisyphus rolling hauntingly day after day before Teach, a city woman who is intrigued by their story. Eleanor encourages Teach to write it down, write it all down. And Teach does-from the mythical "In the beginning" of how Toby and Eleanor got to the mountain to Teach's own realization of her legacy from Eleanor. "That's what you left me, isn't it? That's my legacy. That-and something I've come to call the laws of Eleanor."

Somewhere in Wine Country

I'm screwed. I watched my family’s vineyard fall under the auction hammer, holding back tears of grief and rage. What should be mine went to a stranger. I want to hate Kane McCallum and his dark blue eyes. He has everything: looks, money, even a big, lovable dog. Now he’s offered me a job managing the vineyard—my vineyard. I can stay in my family’s home, but only if I work for him. I’m just a billionaire looking for something more. I don’t want to care what happens to prickly Meg Villier, but I see hard work and courage in her calloused hands. Passion in the curve of her mouth. Tenderness in the way she treats my dog. I want it all: my future billions, the vineyard... and Meg. Wonderful characters, setting, and story. Toby Jane is a magical writer. I love the Somewhere Series books, and never want to leave their world! ~ Reviewer

The polygraph, most commonly known as the lie detector, was created and refined by academics in university settings with support from a few early police agencies. This work is a history of the machine, from the experimental work of the late 1800s that led directly to its creation, until the present. It covers early lie detectors and their inventors from the 1860s to the early 1920s, their use by the police and other law enforcement agencies in the 1930s and their use in Cold War America in the 1940s and 1950s. It then discusses the government's use of the polygraph in the 1960s, the PSE, a new take on the old polygraph, and private businesses' reliance on the polygraph in the 1970s and the government's increasing reluctance to use it in the 1980s. A chapter on new ideas and uses for the polygraph in the 1990s and after concludes the book.

Night Shelter

Everybody at Butchers’ Row in Southwark has something to hide... Described as ‘London noir’, Night Shelter, the 9th novel from thriller writer Gil Hogg, delves deep into the seedy underground world of drugs, prostitution and corruption in Britain’s capital. Jimmy Morton, a supervisor at the Night Shelter for the homeless, finds himself unwittingly involved in the murder of Eva, a local prostitute found in a tenement in Butchers’ Row. The director of the Night Shelter and his guest Arnold Catesby have had a boys’ night out, a drug-fuelled sex party at a nearby pub close to where Eva’s body was discovered. Cynical and self-protective CI Dan Hamish from the Yard finds that Eva was at the party, but believes that Catesby and his friends are too big to touch. As the group are interrogated one-by-one, they assure Hamish that they have solid ‘insurance’ – but will it pay off? Night Shelter is a fast-paced detective novel that encapsulates the gritty, sardonic nature of London’s underground crime network. This book will appeal to fans of Peter Ackroyd and Mark Billingham, as well as fans of Hogg’s previous titles.

Life's Too Short to Drink Bad Wine

‘Wine is a good, familiar creature and once bitten, that’s it.’ Len Evans Len Evans was bitten early and that was it. He remained an enthusiastically successful promoter of the ‘good, familiar creature’ until his untimely death in 2006. But after almost half a century of a life in wine, he wasn’t keen on getting into the autobiography business. ‘I was asked to write my memoirs,’ he said in 1985, ‘but I didn’t like the idea – for one reason I’m still living them, and for another, my many conceits do not include a belief that my life has been particularly fascinating.’ Well, he didn’t write his memoirs but he left us something else that is uniquely Evans – an anec...
