Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detective Sergeant Lachlan Coleridge has seen it all. A veteran cop currently stationed in the rural town of Moree, there’s nothing much that surprises him. But when two children are burned to death during an explosion in an illegal meth lab, he struggles to put the memory behind him. In desperation, he seeks counseling. Ava Wolfe is a Sydney Harbour Hospital psychiatrist who has agreed to cover her friend’s practice in the country. As the only psychiatrist in town, Lachlan has no choice but to make an appointment with the feisty doctor he met a month earlier at his brother’s wedding. They shared a steamy encounter in the cloak room at the reception center and he’s nervous about her discovering he’s married. Ava’s memories of the darkly handsome detective haven’t faded over time. When he approaches her for therapy, she’s forced to set aside her attraction in order to give him the help he so desperately needs. After years of exposure to the worst mankind can offer, Lachlan Coleridge’s spirit has been ravaged. She yearns to help him, but she’s not sure that he’ll let her… To be a cop is to be tough – physically and mentally. There’s no room for weakness. If it gets out that Lachlan’s seeking help, any chance he has for promotion will be jeopardized. But he’s drowning in a sea of pain; of darkness and confusion and it’s only a matter of time before he topples into the abyss… Can he trust the only woman who appears to understand him? Is he prepared to put his career on the line in return for saving his soul? And what will happen when she discovers his deceit? Will he open up to Ava and let her help him…before it’s too late?

Download or read book The Bullet written by Mary Louise Kelly and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nothing is what it seems in NPR correspondent Mary Louise Kelly’s “riveting, twisty tale” (Hallie Ephron, author of Night Night, Sleep Tight), in which a woman discovers a decades-old bullet at the base of her neck. Caroline Cashion is stunned when an MRI reveals that she has a bullet lodged near the base of her skull. It makes no sense: she has never been shot. She has no scar. When she confronts her parents, she learns the truth: she was adopted when she was three years old, after her real parents were murdered in cold blood. Caroline had been there the night of the attack, and she’d been hit by a single gunshot to the neck. Buried too deep among vital nerves and blood vessels, the surgeons had left it, and stitched up the traumatized little girl with the bullet still inside. Now, thirty-four years later, Caroline returns to her hometown to learn whatever she can about who her parents were, and why they died. A cop who worked the case reveals that even after all these years, police still don’t have enough evidence to nail their suspect. The bullet in Caroline’s neck could identify the murderer... and that person will do anything to keep it out of the law’s hands. Now Caroline will have to decide: run for her life, or stay and fight? With non-stop action, “an extremely likable narrator and twists and turns galore” (Alice LaPlante, author of Turn of Mind), The Bullet will keep you riveted until the very last page.

After his last operation in Turkey he tries to hand in his resignation which is partially accepted by his mentor but only on the proviso that he will reassess his options in six months time when, if he then still wants to go nobody would stand in his way. Although adamant that he will not change his mind Spelling has to agree to the terms but starts to make plans for a future which includes caring for his sister who has been in a coma since a car crash in which their mother was killed. Then a mysterious letter arrives from a firm of solicitors advising that he is the sole beneficiary to the estate of the late Thomas Catt ... a man he does not know and has never heard of. As the solicitors are adamant they have made no mistake he visits their offices and realises that the enigmatic Catt is actually an alias for Jimmy Holt, who with his own step-father had been undercover police trying to bring down the Johnson brothers, a notorious crime family based in London. A few years earlier both men had reportedly been killed in what had been classified as separate motoring accidents. Apart from the financial aspect of the estate Holt left a number of documents and testimonies alleging that Spelling's relative was actually killed on the instructions of the Johnsons and that he had been forced to stage his own death in order to try and gain revenge but had not been able to. From the grave he states that he knows that Spelling is the ideal person to take over from him, citing the need for revenge not only for his family but also for the many others who had suffered at the hands of the brothers. He is advised that he would not be acting alone and would be contacted anonymously by someone who would make themselves known by using the codename Pi. Learning that the death of his step-father had been a deliberate murder Spelling decides to find the killer. Unable to tell anybody what he is doing, not knowing who to trust, he is forced to seek out those responsible discovering that people are not all that they seem, that truth is easily corrupted and there is a fine line between honesty and deceit as well as between friendship and hatred. Along the way he learns that friends and enemies are not always clearly defined and can be one of the same and the identity of his step-father's murderer comes as a complete surprise. After completing what Holt had asked of him there is still one final mystery that remains ....who is Pi?

Their real reason was to turn him into cannon-fodder for use against Hitler’s enemies. Deployed to the collapsing Eastern Front in the last days of the war, Willi, now aged fourteen, and his schoolmates were ordered to stave off the relentless Russian advance. None were expected to return alive from the final battles of the Third Reich. Yet, against all odds, Willi does survive but his ordeal is far from over. He returns home to find everything he knows destroyed. Numb and confused, he is mandated to serve one year of forced farm labor. After his release, he gradually realizes that all he was taught to believe in was a lie and he sinks into depression. Eventually, thanks to his friendship with a kind British soldier, he begins to heal. It begins to dawn on him that he can play a part to ensure that the evil he witnessed is never repeated. Ultimately, he succeeds by earning the Medal of European Merit in 1979 for his contribution to the advancement of European democracy. Willi’s graphic and moving story, told from a Nazi child soldier’s perspective, is an inspiring memoir of lost innocence and despair, but also of determination and hope restored.
