The Dells: A Joe Shoe Mystery
DescriptionFor Joe Shoe, the return to his family home in north Toronto is more than just a trip down memory lane; it's also a visit to a crime scene. No sooner has Shoe arrived in his old neighbourhood than he discovers that police are investigating a murder in the ravine near his home. And the murder victim is a man who lived in the neighbourhood 35 years earlier -- and who moved away while still a suspect in a series of rapes that occurred in the very ravine in which he was ultimately murdered. The police investigation, and Shoe's own inquiries, becomes intensely personal, as old friends, girlfriends, and even family members seem to have a connection to the murder victim, and reasons to want him dead. Compelling, deeply emotional, and at times even disturbing, The Dells is an accomplished novel by one of Canada's rising stars of crime fiction.
John Major, Tony Blair and the Conflict of Leadership: Collision Course
DescriptionThis is the first book to examine in-depth the increasing importance of political leadership. Focussing on the leadership profiles of Tony Blair and John Major, it details the importance of the mass media in leadership projection, the usage of opinion polling and market research to promote leaders, and the deployment of leaders by their respective parties into public settings for self-promotion, and how these factors have contributed toward a strong leadership dimension in contemporary British politics. As well as examining the evolution of leadership in the Labour Party, from Harold Wilson to Tony Blair, it looks at the New Labour project from a leadership perspective, follows the general election campaigns of New Labour and the Conservatives and analyzes the 1995 Conservative party leadership contest.
Overexposed: A Granville Island Mystery
DescriptionJust when Vancouver commercial photographer Tom McCall thought he'd got his life back on track, a complete stranger shows up dead on the roof deck of his floating home. No one seems to know who he is, he has no ID, and there's not a mark on him. If that isn't bad enough, a prospective new client seems to have had one Botox injection too many, his ex-wife wants to take his daughter off to Australia for a year; and someone's leaving mutilated dolls on his front step. And, of course, he's in lust again. No wonder he's feeling a little overexposed.
