Book excerpt: The death of a runaway could spark a revolt... Devon, 1318. Peter Bruther, who works the land for his lord, Sir William Beauscyr, is fed up with his life of near-slavery, and has run away. Brutal punishments usually fall on the heads of runaways, but Bruther uses a legal loophole: on Dartmoor, tin miners enjoy special protection from prosecution. They are accountable only to the king. Brother swiftly sets himself up as a miner on the moors: safe... or so he thinks. Beauscyr and his two feuding sons are furious to learn they have no legal claim on their wayward man, and demand justice from Bailiff Simon Puttock. They fear more runaways. But other miners resent Bruther’s appearance, too, and they do not want their profitable extortion and protection racket destabilised. Before dissent can spread to other serfs working for Beauscyr, Bruther is found hanging from a tree. Simon, assisted by former Knight Templar Sir Baldwin Furnshill, finds himself investigating cold-blooded murder, and there is no shortage of suspects... An action-packed historical mystery perfect for fans of Susanna Gregory, C. J. Sansom and Rory Clements.

Book excerpt: The latest in the 2G Architecture series focuses on the Parisian based practice Bruther. Bruther is a French architectural studio based in Paris. Stéphanie Bru and Alexandre Theriot opened their office in 2007, at the very beginning of what capitalists call a 'crisis' and Marxists might define as new round of 'primitive accumulation and dispossession'. Having grown up and trained during the heyday of the French welfare state and inspired by the optimism of the early European Union, Bru and Theriot are well aware of the pressure that the political shift to the right, social inequality and insecurity about the future of Europe are exerting on public institutions. Bruther stands for a specific architecture, adapted to the needs of each project in order to offer maximal living conditions. Adaptability and evolutivity of the building are fundamentals in the office practice. Since 2007, Bruther have developed national and international projects such as Cultural and Sport Center Saint-Blaise (2014), Helsinki Central Library (2013) and New Generation Research Center (2015).

Download or read book By the Red Glare written by John Mark Sibley-Jones and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This sprawling Civil War novel vividly explores the collapse of the Confederacy as General Sherman marches on the South Carolina capital. Fear and brutality grip Columbia, South Carolina, in the winter of 1865 as General William Tecumseh Sherman continues his march to the sea and advances on the capital city where secession began. John Mark Sibley-Jones’s By the Red Glare takes us into the lives of representative citizens—black and white, men and women, Confederates and Unionists, civilians and combatants, freed and shackled, sane and insane—on the eve of historic destruction. The Columbia hospital is overcrowded with wounded soldiers from both sides and old animosities threaten an outbreak of violence in this place of healing. Less than two miles from the hospital stands the Lunatic Asylum, whose yard is occupied by hundreds of prisoners—some of whom are plotting a risky escape. In the heart of the city, Confederate leaders gather with General James Chesnut to plan a battle strategy, only to hear cannon fire announcing the arrival of Sherman’s troops. Foreword by historian Marion B. Lucas, author of Sherman and the Burning of Columbia

Book excerpt: Follow former member of the Knights Templar, Sir Baldwin Furnshill, and Bailiff Simon Puttock as they solve crimes in medieval Devon. Includes the first three books in The Last Templar Mysteries; The Last Templar, The Merchant’s Partner and A Moorland Hanging. The Last Templar: Paris, 1307. The Knights Templar have been destroyed by Pope Clement, having been persuaded by a jealous king that they are corrupt devil worshippers. There is one survivor – a knight who swears vengeance. Devon, 1316. A charred body is discovered in a burnt-out cottage, and newly appointed Bailiff, Simon Puttock, believes it to be accidental. Until the new master of the local manor, Sir Baldwin Furnshill, deduces that they were dead before the fire began. With the assistance of the astute yet strangely reticent knight, Simon begins to piece together the events of the man’s last days. Then word comes of another, far more sinister murder – for in this case, the victim was undoubtedly burned alive. Are the two incidents connected, and will the killer strike again? The Merchant's Partner: Agatha Kyteler, regarded as a witch by her superstitious neighbours, has no shortage of enemies. But when her body is found frozen and mutilated in a hedge one wintry morning, there seem to be no clues as to who could be responsible – until a local youth runs away. Sir Baldwin Furnshill is not convinced of the youth’s guilt and manages to persuade his close friend Simon Puttock to help him with the investigation. As they endeavour to find the true culprit, the darker, sinister side of the village begins to emerge... A Moorland Hanging: Peter Bruther flees his master Sir William Beauseyr, despite knowing it could earn him a brutal punishment. To escape said punishment, cunning Peter sets up as a tin miner on the moors, earning him the protection of the king. When Simon Puttock informs Sir William that he has no legal claim on his wayward servant, the knight is furious, fearing an uprising amongst his other men. But before any dissent can spread, Bruther’s body is found hanging from a tree on the moors, and Simon, assisted by Sir Baldwin Furnshill, finds himself investigating cold-blooded murder – and there is no shortage of suspects to choose from. A chilling, incredibly compelling historical mystery series perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell, Conn Iggulden and C. J. Sansom. Praise for Michael Jecks ‘Marvellously portrayed.’ C. J. Sansom ‘Michael Jecks is the master of the medieval whodunnit.’ Robert Low ‘The most wickedly plotted medieval mystery novels.’ The Times ‘Michael Jecks is a national treasure.’ Scotland on Sunday ‘A smart murder mystery with a fascinating backdrop of medieval life.’ Reader Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
