A product of an unconventional childhood and unorthodox family, Dathan Charles is ambitious to create a business empire. A concealed mixture of ruthlessness and loyalty, she attracts the unwanted attention of Colonel Heydrich of the SS in Berlin in 1934, and later that year of Gregory Capeto, a notorious gangster from the days of Prohibition. In New York she builds her business against a background of interference from the Justice Department, the Treasury, organised crime and her partners. Returning to Germany to find her friends, she falls foul of the now General Heydrich. Wanted for murder, Dathan makes her escape …
It was, as Dave Woolf said, "The sort of thing that doesn’t happen in England." High-court corruption, gangsters, fire bombs and a bit of murder on the side, all of it against the backdrop of a family drama raging through London, the West Country, and the South of France. Nor is it the sort of thing that solicitors ought to be investigating. But Woolf is no ordinary solicitor. Back in the legal fold after a spell as a private eye, he’s roped into a spot of detection for the usual reason: an irresistible fee. Sustained by hefty slugs of Southern …
This story should appeal to all those who tried to do what they thought was right. It tells of one such effort made by a girl named Nancy. We first meet her in 1909, when she leaves the protective time of childhood and enters the perilous years leading up to adulthood. This leads into the years of World War I, with all its horrors and social disruptions. We join her in her occupation at a gasmask factory, making products she hopes will save some of the boys she saw queuing up to join the war. We follow her life through …
Piracy has always been a bloodthirsty business. Pirates prey on the weak and vulnerable. They strike when least expected and take everything: ship, cargo and crew. Their operations can close off vital trade routes and affect the strategic balance of naval power. But piracy is doubly effective when it’s part of a country’s military policy or it’s organised globally. Cadet Willie McBride and his two friends, Gareth and Penelope, confront two nests of savage pirates threatening Britain’s and Britannica’s national interests. Using ingenious combinations of surprise and special weaponry, Willie devises cunning plans to strike at the very heart of …

No one falls as viciously, as painfully, or as messily as lawyers. Jack Nicholas, left-wing barrister, was supposed to have died in an accident. Drunk, said the coroner. Murdered, said his mother. Enter Dave Woolf, ex-solicitor, boozer, and down-at-heel private eye. Even before Woolf starts asking questions, he finds that he is investigating not one death, but the wholesale despatch of Jack Nicholas’ erstwhile colleagues. There is very little for Woolf to go on as he treks through the glitz and sleaze of London, through France and Norway in search of an elusive German, other than the apparent coincidence that …
History can only be understood if we have a date for the happening of the historical event. For this reason, the book begins with a chronological listing of all the principal dates of the events which have led up to and have had influence on Christian history. The book then progressively develops on these dates and explains the events, the first part being before Christ, such as the exodus from Egypt, the establishment of the Promised Land, Bible stories, and biblical predictions, King Solomon’s Temple, the Babylonian exile, the Ark of the Covenant, events of the Old Testament, Yahweh, the …
Based in Ballater on Royal Deeside between June 1914 and December 1915, the novel recounts the great love between an exceptional young woman and Gavin Fraser, a Gordon Highlander.

For example, she and her father visit some of his comrades in the burgh’s Red Cross Hospital and …
