Book excerpt: 1926, and Joe Sandilands is back from India, enjoying the frantic pleasures of Jazz Age London. Yet, there is a darkness behind all that postwar gaiety. A woman has been discovered bludgeoned to death in her suite at the Ritz. A broken window and missing emerald necklace suggest that it is a burglary gone wrong. But the corpse is that of a much-respected member of the British establishment, Dame Beatrice Joliffe, one of the founders of the Wrens, and so Scotland Yard send Joe to conduct a swift enquiry. Her companion, an ex-chorus girl, falls from Waterloo Bridge at twilight. Two of the Dame's clique of eager young Wrens commit suicide. All these deaths make Joe suspect that Beatrice has been killed by someone close to her but suddenly he finds that the case is closed and he is asked by his superiors to surrender his files. Against the background of the looming General Strike, and pressure from unseen governmental presences he struggles on, picking his way through the political panic and rebelling against authority, through to a shattering solution to the killings.

This book was released on 2014-09-11 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People Go Crazy over Romance like Bees Go Wild over Honey is a hilarious and memorable look at childrens views of romance, dating, and kissing. Directly from the spontaneous comments of four- to thirteen-year-olds, the reader is taken on a lively and outrageous journey through the nature of attraction, how to make yourself more attractive, courtship etiquette, adult dating habits, how to create a relationship, how the genders are different, the childrens tips for romantically challenged grown-ups, and what happens if, by some chance, two people actually fall in love. Unlike their predecessors, this cohort of youngsters understands that the Internet is a common vehicle for meeting new people. Thus, they welcome with alacrity the opportunity to write their own dating site biographies and describe in detail what photos they would post. They also share with us, without self-consciousness, what they themselves would text on the next day after a first dateboth if they hit it off with someone and if the date falls short of expectations. The resulting missives are as poignant as they are funny, and they say so much about the human predicament of wanting relationships so earnestly and yet finding them so elusive. Here is a sample of typical choice offerings: In the beginning, you didnt have much of a choice because the only choice was the big dumb caveman in the next cave over (Samantha, age 11). Poets have been curious about love because to this very day, nobody at all understands women (Robert, age 10). Being romantic means you give a girl a kiss and a diamond ring, and she says: Thats very romantic. Can I have another? (Javier, age 8). I like girls because they are elegant and they always carry tissues with them when you need one (Efrem, age 7). If I fibbed on a dating profile, I would say I was top-rated in my class for being hot! (Eli, age 9). On Christmas, if you kiss under the mistletoe, you are supposed to get married. But if it happens by accident, God might let you off the hook (Sandy, age 9). For lovers, Valentines Day is the day you kiss and kiss until you get all puckered out and just eat chocolates as big as your heart (Claire, age 10). There is ten times more kissing on Valentines Day, so people should get the next day off just to recover! (Taylor, age 9).

But then a new group of people with murky intentions shows up -- the League of Ostracized Fellows -- and they want Nate as their own, too. To top it off, he's convinced there's a spy in his very own school. Nate must once again team up with his new, resourceful, friend Delphine to save the day. They'll need the help of Nate's crazy gadgets, such as his talking car Betsy and super-powered pets Bosper the Scottish terrier and Sir William the gull, if they hope to see another Friday the 13th. Because they might be battling more than just sting-happy bees and villains with a penchant for tea this time around.
