Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A master of the craft. John Harvey is lights out one of the best." —Michael Connelly John Harvey has been described as the master of British crime fiction: From the mean streets of London to the jazz clubs and clip joints of Soho, this is a world of broken families, revenge killings, and prostitution; drugs, guns, and corruption; a world of overstretched police forces and underpaid detectives; men and women who strive nonetheless for a kind of justice; a world in which everything, even friendship, has a price. Featuring characters like Frank Elder, who tried to turn his back on police work and failed; Jack Kiley, ex-cop and now a London-based PI; and the renowned jazz loving and much-loved Detective Inspector Charlie Resnick, John Harvey’s finely-crafted vignettes perfectly encapsulate life in the badlands of contemporary Britain.

Download or read book A Darker Shade of Blue written by Keith Merith and published by ECW Press. This book was released on 2024-03-26 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A transparent first-hand account of a Black officer maneuvering through three terrifying yet rewarding decades of policing, all while seeking reform in law enforcement When 16-year-old Keith Merith finds himself pulled over, berated, and degraded by a white police officer, he’s outraged. He’s done nothing wrong. But the officer has the power, and he doesn’t. From that day on, he vows to join a police service and effect change from within. Twelve years and a multitude of infuriating applications later, Merith is finally hired by York Regional Police. Subjected to unfair treatment and constant microaggressions, he perseveres and gradually rises through the ranks, his goal of systemic change carrying him through. After a stellar career, Merith retires at the rank of superintendent, but his desire for sustained and equitable reform is stronger than ever. In A Darker Shade of Blue, Merith shares both his gut-wrenching and heart-warming experiences and advocates for immediate police reform in a balanced and level-headed manner. He praises the people in blue, but he also knows on a visceral level that there are deep issues that need to be rectified — starting with recruitment. He knows that law enforcement agencies should reflect the communities they serve and protect, and that all citizens should be treated equally. Entrusted with the duty to serve, Merith delivers an evocative perspective of policing by providing the opportunity to walk in his shoes, as a Black man, and as a police officer on the front lines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Law enforcement today is a very different world from what it was when I was on the job, with cell cameras, sights and sounds installed in all the patrol cars, the media down on the police, I would have lasted six months before getting fired or maybe even arrested! I have great sympathy for today's cops, especially the uniform guys who, from childhood, were taught by their parent to always try to do the right thing, to think on your feet and never ever back down from those wanting to harm you or your loved ones. My parents told me early on that I should do what I want as long as it's at nobody elses expense. I lived by that rule or at least always tried to. Was I a saint? I wasn't a saint, but I was a crusader. I can honestly say I never ever intentionally physically hurt anyone who didn't deserve getting hurt. Are there bad cops out there? You bet there are. There were bad cops from way back in our history. Cops that took great pleasure in beating people, cops stealing money from drug dealers, cops abusing their power. They will someday regret every action, every cent they stole, and every head they bashed in. That was never me. It sickens me to the point where I can't watch news coverage of cop abuse or corruption. But in defense of the vast majority of good and decent cops, their job is 100 percent tougher than when I fought crime. Hell, I received commodations for doing the same things the new cops are getting fired for. Who in their right mind would want this insane job? But for some there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I worked really hard and followed the light right into the detective unit. When ever do you ever read about an abusive detective? You take the uniform off, dress up in a suit and the public respects you. You're viewed as the elite, more intelligent and you command respect. Does it get any better than that? You bet it does. It's being an he undercover narcotic detective. He hides his badge and blends in with the unmade beds of America. He's backed up with a license to do pretty much anything he wants just as long as he doesn't cross the line. There are no cell phone cameras watching his every move. No one to claim police abuse. In my mind it's the best of the best. This book is a blend of all three of my lives as a cop. Three very different jobs heading for the very same goal. Take the bad guy off the streets and make the people around us as safe as possible. Not everyone who reads this will agree with the way I went about accomplishing that goal. Some will admire me and some won't. But just maybe I was somehow responsible for keeping you and your children alive. You never know. I thank my co-author Dr. Lou Girifalco for encouraging me to write this autobiography. I also want to give thanks to all of you I mention in the book and even though few true names are mentioned, you know who you are. Special thanks to my wife Terry for putting up with me through those tough years. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed doing it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Alura, sirens take part in the Dive; an ancient ritual that places them in one of three tribes; the Azora, the Voeks, or the Draven. Each tribe wields different powers and abilities, some stronger than others. A siren will know which one they join by the color of their hair, for it will change to either, white, gold, or black. For Amaris, the Dive has terrified her ever since she was a youngling. From watching fellow sirens take part and her friend Jessenia, Amaris only sees what the Dive takes away. To her, the Dive strips a siren of their personality and vibrance of life. No matter how much Amaris tries to avoid it she cannot. But unlike her fellow sirens, when Amaris breaks the surface, her hair isn’t the color of any of the three tribes. It’s a shimmering blue. If a siren isn’t placed in one of the three tribes, they no longer have a place in Alura. Amaris quickly finds herself Adrift---the first siren sent to live amongst the humans in centuries. On the night she is forced to leave, she receives a message from her friend Jessenia, who is part of the Draven, a coven of sirens who have the gift of Seeing. Jessenia tells her that she must seek out the Four Mothers, powerful beings who are part of the Divine. Now, suddenly an outcast, Amaris is forced to start a search she has no clue where to start from. But when an unfortunate encounter leads her to Ford, a warlock and a sirens sworn enemy, Amaris has no choice but to turn to him as a guide. Especially when he reveals he has the information she needs. As Amaris and Ford travel together to gather answers, Amaris begins to question everything she thought to be true. And as they get closer to finding the Mothers, Amaris begins to wonder if she was sent Adrift for her own protection or for the protection of Alura.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A soulful and thought-provoking collection of poems, which speaks of the challenges of living and world while enduring the trials of a pandemic, social changes, and the battle of letting of the possibility of a love, unlikely to ever being right enough to true. These poems bear witness of the fear of struggling with feelings in hopelessness in a society in which minorities seek to assert their rights, in a plain view of those who oppose a fairer society and seek to advance their position of power, and sometimes, their hateful and self-serving agendas.
