It takes a graveyard to raise a child. Nobody Owens, known as Bod, is a normal boy. He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a graveyard, being raised by ghosts, with a guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor the dead. There are adventures in the graveyard for a boy—an ancient Indigo Man, a gateway to the abandoned city of ghouls, the strange and terrible Sleer. But if Bod leaves the graveyard, he will be in danger from the man Jack—who has already killed Bod's family.

Ireland’s first ever female private investigator lifts the lid on the secret life of the nation. Sandra Mara solved her first case at the tender age of nine. That gave her a taste for intrigue, and she went on to become one of the top private investigators in the country, even winning International Investigator of the Year at the World Association of Detectives. In No Job for a Woman, for the first time she opens her case file to reveal some of the most enthralling and outrageous cases she has worked on throughout her career. Stories included are: Patricia the Stripper, the Man United footballer and the IRA; the Thai Hooker and the Irish Diplomat; the Case of the Blackmail Cops; the Antwerp Diamonds and the Beit Robbers; the Clairvoyant who Never Saw it Coming; and Has Anybody Seen our Jumbo Jet? As well as these stories, Sandra provides a fascinating insight into the secretive undercover world of the private investigator – a world of bugging, surveillance, cold nights and very real danger.

"Running within and without the breadth of the Monongahela, Allegheny, and Ohio Rivers, the territory (at least in part) consists of the parent area of the Pennsylvania counties of Washington, Westmoreland, Beaver, Greene, Allegheny, and Fayette; and the West Virginia counties of Monongalia, Ohio, Brooke, Hancock, Marshall, and Wetzel, though indeed much of the Van Voorhis work is concerned with Monongahela City and its farher reaching environs"--Forew.
