Book Synopsis Exhaustive Enquiries by : Betty Rowlands

Download or read book Exhaustive Enquiries written by Betty Rowlands. This book was released on 2013-06-14. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gifted and knowledgeable writer . . . engaging and readable' Financial Times Melissa Craig has taken time away from writing bestselling mysteries to script a murder play for an amateur drama group. 'Murder with a giggle' is how she thinks of it. But no one is laughing when a cast member dies in the cellar of the old Cotswold Heyshill Manor Hotel where the play is to be produced. Persuaded by the manager to investigate, Melissa finds . . . nothing. No well-ordered clues, no sure suspects, just lots of tension. Then she chances upon a vital discovery in the hotel's parking lot, and everything begins to fall into place. This isn't a matter of "murderous plots and murky deeds, all in rhyming couplets" but a death-defying journey along a trail of crime on an international scale.

Book Synopsis The Witch of Hodderford by : C. B. Morton

Download or read book The Witch of Hodderford written by C. B. Morton. This book was released on 2018-05-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both intriguing and enlightening, The Witch of Hodderford is written in the form of memoirs by a retired, non-conformist clergyman. Easy-going, if somewhat conventional, John Wilkes’ world is turned upside-down when a member of his congregation claims to make out-of-body visits to first century Palestine. The woman, a former nurse, brings back eye-witness accounts of several major events as depicted in the Gospels. These, together with her own critical explanations are, to say the least, highly heretical. In addition, Wilkes has problems enough at home in the shape of his precocious young daughter and his older son; who, despite studying physics at university, cannot resist joining his father in an attempt to resolve the mystery. Others also become involved, including the clergyman’s wife, the caretaker’s wife... and a Professor of linguistics! After a brush with a would-be Witch-finder General and an even more fearsome ‘hot-gospeller’, the approach of Holy Week and Easter foreshadows more earth-shattering, apocalyptic theories; and they don’t disappoint. But Wilkes, his family and friends are made of sterner stuff. So ‘all’s well that ends well’... or does it?

Book Synopsis The Spy Who Painted the Queen by : Phil Tomaselli

Download or read book The Spy Who Painted the Queen written by Phil Tomaselli. This book was released on 2015-07-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was Philip de László a secret agent and was MI5's source really as they claimed? Did an enemy spy really paint the portrait of the young Princess Elizabeth? In 1917, noted society portrait painter Philip de László, who painted such luminaries as the Pope, the Austrian emperor, King Edward VII and Prince Louis Battenberg, was subjected to a secret tribunal which interned him for trading with the enemy. At the outbreak of the First World War, de László had pulled strings to be naturalised as British, but in 1919 he was referred to a public committee to revoke his naturalisation. With the aid of skilled counsel, de László had the application overturned – however, newly discovered records show MI5 had evidence obtained from a top-secret source that alleged that he was supplying the enemy with important information on politics and industrial production. Crucially, the source's anonymity prevented MI5 from presenting evidence to the tribunal, which has particular resonance in the contemporary War on Terror. In the only book to examine MI5's secret evidence, Phil Tomaselli explores these allegations and reaches a shocking conclusion.

Book Synopsis My Years with the British Red Cross by : Nicholas Young

Download or read book My Years with the British Red Cross written by Nicholas Young. This book was released on 2022-12-29. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Nick Young’s memoir is a fascinating and candid account of his thirteen years as chief executive of the British Red Cross (2001-2014). During this critical period he led the organization's response to the financial crisis, the Iraq War, the Asian Tsunami, the London bombings, a kidnapping, the fighting in Syria, media challenges, and numerous earthquakes, floods and other disasters. The author shares the strains and moments of fulfillment, relief and humor, as he played a key role in the response to some of the 21st Century’s most dramatic and dangerous events. His book paints a vivid yet modest picture of what is involved running one of the world’s best-known disaster response organizations, reacting to catastrophes, both man-made and natural, and saving the lives and livelihoods of those caught up in global disasters, conflicts and health emergencies. It is rare for charity leaders to reveal their insights in this way and, at the same time, paint such a vivid picture of life at the top of a large voluntary organization. The result is a compelling read, particularly for those interested in international affairs, the way charities work, and what makes them different from other types of world class organizations.
