Book Description
For more than a decade, Inspector Jack Mowgley has been keeping a sort of rough-hewn order at Portsmouth Continental Ferry Port. Critics and those who fell foul of his notions of natural and sometimes rough justice say he regarded the port as his personal fiefdom. They are right. But times have changed, and the Police Force has become a Service. The day that a fast-track and very politically-correct female took over as his boss, The Ferry King knew his days were numbered. He was right.After an investigation, Mowgley is invited to jump before he is pushed and to take early retirement. Now he must start a new life in new surroundings. During a visit to Normandy a decade earlier, his wife had lost her heart to a ruined manor house and also to the man selling it. In the divorce she settled for the town house in Portsmouth and left Mowgley with the ruin in northern France.Now he is homeless and jobless, but has been offered a job by a former French policeman who runs a private detective agency in Northern France.Yann Cornec needs someone like Jack Mowgley to take on the agency's rapidly growing portfolio of cases involving British expatriates. He is looking for someone who speaks the same language as the expats, understands their strange ways, and knows how to handle sometimes difficult people and cases.

But after a gruesome discovery at his ruined property, he also finds himself involved in a bloody territorial struggle involving drug and people smuggling, murders most foul and general mayhem...

Book Description
The Avengers was a unique, genre-defying television series which blurred the traditional boundaries between 'light entertainment' and disturbing drama. It was a product of the constantly-evolving 1960s yet retains a timeless charm. The monochrome filmed Emma Peel season had established a cult following for a series which became an intrinsic part of the 'Swinging Sixties'. Backed by US dollars, the show was now filmed 'in color' and Avengerland becomes stranger and more playful than ever: Steed is shrunk to the size of a desk pad, forced to evade a machine-gun-toting nanny; Emma Peel is tortured in a medieval ducking stool and turned into a living cybernaut. Mrs. Peel, We're Needed draws on the knowledge of a broad range of experts and fans of The Avengers as it explores the wonderfully mad Technicolor world of Emma Peel.

Book Description
At the creation of the world, God gave mankind the responsibility to exercise dominion over the earth. Man was to use the earth and its abundance of resources to satisfy his physical needs, but he was also to care for the earth and its creatures as a wise and godly steward. Reading about endangered species or another oil spill will make it abundantly clear that the human race has failed miserably in its God-given mandate. How did we get to this point? Where should we go from here? This classic by Francis Schaeffer, now repackaged, looks at contemporary ecological crises through the lens of theology and Scripture. Renowned for his work in applied philosophy and theology, Schaeffer answers serious philosophical questions about creation and ecology. He concludes that we must return to a profoundly and radically biblical understanding of God’s relationship to the earth, and of our divine mandate to exercise godly dominion over it. Repackaged and republished, Pollution and the Death of Man carries an important and relevant message for our day. With concluding chapter by Udo Middelmann.
