Book excerpt: Secrets are difficult to keep! I thought things were going pretty good in Ms. Kelly's class until she dropped a bombshell. She tells me out of nowhere that I, Joseph Mateo, "was too shy". Is it true? Of course it is, but it never has been a problem before! Turns out, I need to do a show-and-tell thing and that's supposed to solve everything. Was I worried? You bet I was, but I decided to make everyone happy and just do it. I captured an ant, put him in a bottle, and called it my ant farm. That's when something weird happened. That teeny-weeny ant grew to be human-sized! I found it hiding in the classroom closet. Did I panic? You bet I did, but I took care of it. I put some clothes on him, called him Saygar, and made him the new kid in Ms. Kelly's class. It's not easy keeping something that big a secret. Saygar sure did make things hard for me when he spit purple gum into Ruby's hair and did that throw-up in Marcie's face fiasco. The show-and-tell thing was the end of my quiet life and the beginning of a whole mess of trouble! REVIEW: "A fantastic plot fusion between E. T. and Dr. Seuss's "What Was I Scared Of?", Saygar the Magnificent by Elizabeth Jurado will warp you right back to your days in elementary school even as a full-grown adult. An easy to read story surrounding a strange week in the life of a 3rd-grade boy that people of all backgrounds, classes, and genders can easily relate to, Jurado's book stays true to the extreme highs and lows of raw emotionality throughout childhood development in a fictional yet down-to-earth tale, reminding us that guardian angels come in all forms, shapes, and sizes." - Erick Kusmirek
Download or read book The Ascent of the Detective written by Haia Shpayer-Makov and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2011-09-29 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The figure of the detective has long excited the imagination of the wider public, and the English police detective has been a special focus of attention in both print and visual media. Yet, while much has been written in the last three decades about the history of uniformed policemen in England, no similar work has focused on police detectives. The Ascent of the Detective redresses this by exploring the diverse and often arcane world of English police detectives during the formative period of their profession, from 1842 until the First World War, with special emphasis on the famed detective branch established at Scotland Yard. The book starts by illuminating the detectives' socioeconomic background, how and why they became detectives, their working conditions, the differences between them and uniformed policemen, and their relations with the wider community. It then goes on to trace the factors that shaped their changing public image, from the embodiment of 'un-English' values to plebeian knights in armour, investigating the complex and symbiotic exchange between detectives and journalists, and analysing their image as it unfolded in the press, in literature, and in their own memoirs.

Book excerpt: INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER Named a Best Book of 2022 by The New York Times, Air Mail, and more! “[W]itty, original…a delight.” —The New York Times Perfect for fans of Ruth Ware and Lisa Jewell, this international bestseller and “dazzlingly clever” (The Sunday Times, London) murder mystery follows a community rallying around a sick child—but when escalating lies lead to a dead body, everyone is a suspect. The Fairway Players, a local theatre group, is in the midst of rehearsals when tragedy strikes the family of director Martin Hayward and his wife Helen, the play’s star. Their young granddaughter has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, and with an experimental treatment costing a tremendous sum, their castmates rally to raise the money to give her a chance at survival. But not everybody is convinced of the experimental treatment’s efficacy—nor of the good intentions of those involved. As tension grows within the community, things come to a shocking head at the explosive dress rehearsal. The next day, a dead body is found, and soon, an arrest is made. In the run-up to the trial, two young lawyers sift through the material—emails, messages, letters—with a growing suspicion that the killer may be hiding in plain sight. The evidence is all there, between the lines, waiting to be uncovered. A wholly modern and gripping take on the epistolary novel, The Appeal is a “daring…clever, and funny” (The Times, London) debut for fans of Richard Osman and Lucy Foley.

Download or read book Jack the Ripper Scotland Yard written by Stewart P Evans and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2010-05-21 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IN 1888 the dreaded figure of Jack the Ripper stalked London's East End murdering prostitutes. His crimes set in motion a huge police operation and have held a dark fascination over the public's imagination for over a century, yet his identity has never been proved. Now, for the first time, two leading Ripper experts have joined forces to treat the case like a police investigation. Drawing on their unparalleled knowledge of the Jack the Ripper murders and their professional experience as police officers, they uncover clues that have remained undetected for over a hundred years. There are five 'canonical' Ripper victims, yet Scotland Yard's 'Whitechapel Murders' files include another six suspected victims. Drawing the reader into the world of police investigation in Victorian London, Evans and Rumbelow reveal the conflict between the City and Metropolitan forces and the ridicule heaped on the police by the press. Investigating each murder, they conclude that only four of the eleven victims were actually killed by the Ripper. Perhaps most tellingly, they question the motives behind the destruction of evidence - particularly the message 'The Juwes are the men that will not be blamed for nothing', which was chalked on the wall near one murder site and rubbed out on order of the Chief Commissioner - and ask whether the enigmatic Dr Robert Anderson, officer in charge of the investigation, knew the Ripper's true identity. Jack the Ripper: Scotland Yard Investigates strips away much of the nonsense that has accumulated since 1888 and reopens files on a case that will perhaps never be fully solved but will always fascinate.
