DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen rising young artist Clive Hexley, R.A., vanishes, his friends suspect foul play. Chief-Inspector Calthorp of Scotland Yard is called upon to look into the disappearance, and his investigations lead him to question Hexley’s ex-fiancée, Elsa Farraday. Farraday writes horror-tinged mysteries under a pseudonym, and lives by herself in an old house in the English countryside. She eventually confesses that she murdered the artist and threw his body into a swamp. But the girl’s odd, even peculiar mannerisms puzzle Calthorp, and he hesitates to make an arrest when no trace of Hexley's body can be found--or even any proof of his death. Ultimately, he calls in Dr. Adam Castle, the redoubtable psychiatrist and investigator, to help solve the case. Is Elsa a cold-blooded murderer mining her own crimes for her lurid novels? Or is she just an unfortunate "lost soul" who was in the wrong place at the wrong time? An absolutely first-rate psychological thriller!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCarney Lake served for six years in a Royal Marines Commando Unit and in this book tells his story - the names of those men involved have been changed to protect their identities, but the events happened as described. The result is arguably as vivid and accurate a depiction of Britain s fighting men as has ever appeared in print. What we can see from the television screen of war and terrorism leaves us with no doubts as to the reality of modern warfare, but what it can t share with us is the feelings of the personalities on the ground as the bullets fly. There are nail-biting descriptions of patrols on the streets of Belfast, of facing an invading army on British sovereign territory in Cyprus and the strain of border duty in South Armagh where every silent rural ditch may prove an explosive and bloody grave. An unputdownable view of what it takes to be a member of the Royal Marines, of the sacrifices to do the job well.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAdventures along the Star-Spangled Banner Trail. Winner of the Association of Partners for Public Lands Media Partnership Award of the Association of Partners for Public Lands All but forgotten by Americans, the War of 1812 (1812–1815) was a dramatic watershed for the young, groundbreaking United States Republic. Ill-prepared to fight the powerful English nation, the U.S. struggled through three years of conflict but emerged more unified with new patriotic symbols like the "Star-Spangled Banner." Much of the fighting occurred in the Chesapeake region and this new book, In Full Glory Reflected, uncovers its gripping stories of devastating raids, heroic defense, gallant privateers, fugitive slaves, and threatened lands. The historic tales unfold with a lively narrative, well over a hundred vivid illustrations, and clear maps to follow the action. In addition, a travel section provides a rich guide for adventurers who want to step back 200 years and explore the tidewater world where the war was fought. In Full Glory Reflected is an enchanting invitation to travel the Star- Spangled Banner National Historic Trail and discover the amazing world of our ancestors.
