DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the gripping English murder mystery, "Canal Murder," Amanda has found solace in her tranquil life aboard a canal boat in the bustling heart of London. However, her idyllic existence is marred by one significant drawback—her morose husband, whose brooding presence casts a shadow over their life together. Amanda has always enjoyed her career as an investigative journalist, but that all changes when she receives a chilling death threat that sends her world into a tailspin. Now, on edge and distrustful of those around her, Amanda's once-watchful eye turns into a constant vigilance. The threat looms ever closer as her friend is tragically found dead in the very canal that had been a source of solace. When she turns to the police for help, their indifference and lack of cooperation only add to her growing unease. Amanda finds herself struggling to cope with the rapid and unsettling changes unfolding around her. As accusations from the local community begin to target her, she becomes isolated and besieged by doubts and suspicions. Secrets begin to unravel among her fellow boat owners, casting a long shadow over her peaceful existence. Feeling increasingly threatened and with nowhere to turn, Amanda is left wondering who she can trust. In "Canal Murder," the tranquil waters hide a chilling mystery, and Amanda's quest for answers becomes a treacherous journey into the dark heart of secrets and deceit. Will she uncover the truth behind her friend's death and the threats against her, or will the shadows of suspicion engulf her completely? Join Amanda as she races against time to unravel the enigma that has taken hold of her once-peaceful canal life.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this book, After the Battle have explored entirely new ground to investigate 150 years of murder and present it through our then and now theme of comparison photographs. Scene of crime plans and photographs from police files focus on a wide variety of murders committed between 1812, when a Prime Minister was shot in the House of Commons, to killings on the streets of London in the 1960s. Far too often it is the perpetrator who is remembered while their victims, many lying in unmarked graves, remain lost to history. So this book sets out to redress the balance by tracking down the last resting places, even going as far as to mark two wartime graves of taxi drivers killed by American servicemen. Homicide is not a subject for the faint-hearted and many of the photographs are distressing which is why the book is made available with that warning.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMurder and crime is caused by greed, need, jealousy, desperation and insanity. London, the financial and capital city of England is no stranger to the excesses of its turbulent citizens – their past misdemeanours enrich the fabric of this great city. Here are some of the most infamous crimes committed in the capital in its long history. Tales are included from the dark recesses of the middle ages to the turbulent eighteenth century with its nascent press and the 'great' Victorian age where pleasures and vices ran hand in hand, where excesses dominated the London scene and social and economic extremes were the norm. The early twentieth century is also treated with some of the most high profile cases that have necessitated changes in the law. This book will appeal to everyone interested in true-crime and the shadier side of London's past.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHe wants me to fuck about with paper clips in some office with a smile on my face, fuck him . . . but there's just one thing I've got to take care of first. I've got to do something to make this right. Four years on from the collapse of the Lehman Brothers and still we find ourselves in crisis. It's time to work out what's wrong. It's time to look at the heart of the system. You Can Still Make A Killing is the story of the normal men and women who fill the City's institutions, of a world radically altered when right became wrong, and of the private worlds that fall apart when there are no alternatives in sight. This production reunites director Matthew Dunster with playwright Nicholas Pierpan, following their collaboration in 2010 on Pierpan's play The Maddening Rain (Old Red Lion and Soho Theatre). The cast includes Alecky Blythe (writer of London Road), which marks her much-anticipated return to acting, and Kellie Bright (Love and Money, Royal Exchange and Young Vic). It will run at the Southwark Playhouse in its main house (which holds 150 seats) from 10 October until 3 November 2012. A German production will open at Theatre Ulm in April, 2013.
