Divine Justice

Known by his alias 'Oliver Stone', John Carr is the most wanted man in America. With two pulls of the trigger, the men who hid the truth of Stone's past and kept him in the shadows were finally silenced. But Stone's freedom has come at a steep price; the assassinations he carried out have prompted the highest levels of the United States government to unleash a massive manhunt. Joe Knox is leading the charge, but his superiors aren't telling him everything there is to know about his quarry - and their hidden agendas are just as dangerous as the killer he's trying to catch.

Agatha Raisin and the Curious Curate

Amateur sleuth Agatha Raisin is going through a man-hating phase and so is unmoved by news of a captivating new curate. But when she meets the golden-haired, blue-eyed Tristan Delon, she is swept off her feet ... along with every other female in the village. She is positively ecstatic when he invites her to dine with him, but the next day Agatha is left with a hangover from hell and someone has done for the curate in the night.

June, 1940. Terry, 7, and his brother Jack, 11, are evacuees, awaiting the train which will take them to their new lives. In the tiny Cornish hamlet of Doublebois, the woods and river become their playground; rabbit-catching and night-fishing their new pastimes. But it is the railway, above all, which delights them. It is the richest of childhoods, full of colour, humour and the unselfish love that Uncle Jack, a Welsh ex-miner, and his wife, Auntie Rose, offer without reserve to the two young strangers. And despite fierce rivalry between local kids and the 'vackies', village life seems wonderful to the boys. A vivid and intimate portrait of a neglected part of our wartime history; a compelling and uplifting memoir of growing up in an extraordinary time.
