The page-turning new Detective Jane Tennison thriller from the Queen of Crime Drama, Lynda La Plante - now available in hardback, eBook and audiobook. ___________________ A coffin is dug up by builders in the grounds of an historic convent - inside is the body of a young nun. In a city as old as London, the discovery is hardly surprising. But when scratch marks are found on the inside of the coffin lid, Detective Jane Tennison believes she has unearthed a mystery far darker than any she's investigated before. However, not everyone agrees. Tennison's superiors dismiss it as an historic cold case, and the Church seems desperate to conceal the facts from the investigation. It's clear that someone is hiding the truth, and perhaps even the killer. Tennison must pray she can find both - before they are buried forever . . . In Unholy Murder, Tennison must lift the lid on the most chilling murder case of her career. ___________________ PRAISE FOR LYNDA LA PLANTE: 'The UK's most celebrated female crime author' - DAILY MAIL 'Compelling, clever, and utterly riveting' - RACHEL ABBOTT 'Lynda La Plante practically invented the thriller' - KARIN SLAUGHTER 'Tough, brilliant and damaged, [Tennison] shook up the genre forever by showing a female detective overcoming sexism and adversity to reach the top' - DAILY EXPRESS

Download or read book Over the Top written by Michael Paris and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2004-10-30 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Great War, books and stories for young men were frequently used as unofficial propaganda for recruitment and to sell the war to British youth as a moral crusade. Until now, this literature has been neglected by academics, but the image of the war these fictions created was remarkably enduring and, despite the appearance of post-war literature of disillusioned veterans, continued to shape the attitudes of the young well into the 1930s. This is the first detailed account of how adventure fiction represented the Great War for British boys between 1914 and the end of the war. Paris examines how such literature explained the causes of the war to boys and girls and how it encouraged young men to participate in the noble crusade on the Western Front and in other theaters. He explores the imagery of the trenches, the war in the air, and the nature of war in the Middle East and Africa. He also details the links between popular writers and the official literary propaganda campaign. The study concludes by looking at how these heroic images remained in print, enduring well into the inter-war years.
