Book excerpt: The Sixth Catrin Sayer Mystery. Detective Inspector Catrin Sayer now leads art investigation within the prestigious Art and Antiques Unit of the London Metropolitan Police. Her team is suddenly assigned to assist Trident, the organized crime unit, at a crime scene in East London where a valuable painting has been discovered. It is a suspicious death; a young woman has fallen from the balcony of an apartment owned by a gang leader. The painting has links to a drug gang in Glasgow where, some years earlier, Sayer was part of an investigation that led to the imprisonment of its leaders. Now she is sent to Scotland to conduct interviews of the gang leader and his accountant, with instructions to ‘stir them up a bit’. She does; and it has surprising consequences.

Book excerpt: The final installment of the critically acclaimed memoir series Done Hunting brings Martin HunterÍs memoirs to a close, sharing adventures and observations from his sixth to ninth decades. With descriptions of theatrical productions heÍs written and directed, it also provides a subtle commentary on Canada and its social and cultural place in the world. Done Hunting also chronicles HunterÍs experiences as a magazine and radio journalist and his unsuccessful attempts to break into film and television as a scriptwriter. Accounts of his travels in Mexico, Sweden, England, France, and Italy include fascinating encounters with Laurier LaPierre, Bill Glassco, David Earle, and Adrienne Clarkson and writers Barry Callaghan, Mavis Gallant, and Gore Vidal. His friendship with Richard Monette and peripheral involvement with the Stratford Festival, as well as his work as a philanthropist as president of the K.M. Hunter Charitable Foundation, are highlights of this fascinating and insightful self-examination.

Download or read book Stratford and the Sea written by Lewis G. Knapp and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly four centuries, the maritime history of Stratford, Connecticut set the standard for the growing relationship between the United States and the sea. For the long years when ocean and river were the only practical means of travel, and from the struggles for independence to the quest for commerce that played out upon the waves, Stratford's brave sons have navigated both Long Island Sound, whose waters lap their shores, and the wide world beyond. Stratford and the Sea is the story of Captain David Hawley fighting to save the young American Revolution. It is the story of privateer Samuel Nicoll's furious attacks on British shipping in the War of 1812 that forever altered our nation's future. And it is the story of merchant captains like Dowdall, Sterling, and Benjamin who pioneered transatlantic commerce and opened up trade routes to the Orient, establishing American dominance in international trade. But there is more to the story than the men who tell it. Here also-brought to life with 200 vintage photographs, period maps, and antique postcards-is the tale of the rise and fall of the mighty oyster fishery, the birth of decoy carving as a unique American folk art, and the rush of progress and industry brought to town by Igor Sikorsky and his flying boats.

Book excerpt: The Third Catrin Sayer Mystery. Janis Mitchell, a second-year student at Falmouth University in Cornwall, receives a shocking image ‘hacked’ into her Facebook page, one of her being viciously assaulted at knifepoint. Janis realizes that it is probably derived from a session where she modelled for a figure-drawing class at a nearby college. Worked into the image and partially buried is a vase, but no-one understands its significance. Detective Sergeant Catrin Sayer with the Art Crime Unit at New Scotland Yard is asked to help, based on her experience as an artist rather than as a formal member of the investigation team. She is drawn further into the strange case with the appearance of a second image of the student hacked into the website of the Tate Art Gallery.

Book excerpt: A cruise ship officer from Hong Kong disappears during a port stop in Holyhead on the North Wales coast and a missing person investigation turns up no leads. On the same cruise, an international police operation to break an art smuggling ring loses track of three valuable Russian paintings thought to be on board. Four months later the younger sister of the missing sailor becomes a student at Bangor University, nearby. The Metropolitan Police Art Crime Unit wants to know why she is in the UK and whether it has any bearing on their case. Constable Catrin Sayer is looking for promotion and a new role away from drug squad work in Brixton. Coincidence and her Welsh background lead her to go undercover and assist the investigation. She is twenty-four at the time; keen, ambitious, trying to balance her work as a police officer with her interests as an artist, a ceramic decorator.

Book excerpt: The Fourth Catrin Sayer Mystery. Detective Sergeant Catrin Sayer of the Art Crime Unit, Metropolitan Police returns from a supposedly routine assignment in Malaysia that went disastrously wrong, to be assigned to a new case. Two years after an unsolved major art robbery from a merchant bank in London, a prisoner in Rome sends a message: he is prepared to talk about a sentencing deal for information about the bank robbery. Three paintings were stolen, two of them near-priceless canvases by the ‘horse artist’ George Stubbs. Sayer’s proposal to arrest the perpetrators is unusual; to focus on the obscure third painting stolen, a portrait of a farmer’s wife, Mrs. Rosalind Heaton of Carnforth, Lancashire.
