Book Description
Across the UK, into Europe and further afield, these are the training rides, races and journeys closest to his heart. From one-day classics in the Peak District and Snowdonia to the rolling roads of Tuscany and the wide-open vistas of New Zealand's South Island, these are the routes you'll want to ride alongside Britain's favourite cycling superstar. We ride out with him from his winter home in the south of France, and around his old Tuscan training base as a GB Olympic hopeful at the very start of his career. We take in the valley roads of the Tour de Suisse (overall winner, 2022), and the sinuous coastal roads of Milan - San Remo. We go long in Mallorca and bounce along the short cobbled secteurs of Belgium; we take in the vineyards around Adelaide and the bright blue skies of southern California. And we have guest rides too: from world champion Remco Evenepoel and his favourite winter training ride in Calpe, Spain; around Yorkshire, with Olympic mountain bike champion, world cyclo-cross champion and newly crowned winner of Strade Bianche, Tom Pidcock; in the wilds of western Ireland from champion sprinter Sam Bennett. Twenty rides, twenty adventures you'll never forget. All of this in a small-size hardback that can slide just as easily into your hand luggage as the back pocket of your jersey.

Book Description
In order to bolster the lagging spirits of Orange County Catholics stunned by the largest legal judgment in history against the church, Pope John Paul II's last official act is the installation of a local cardinal. The diocesan headquarters at Marywood is put on the auction block, while parish churches and schools around the county are being auctioned to developers. Alice Hudson, the matriarch of an influential Orange County family, sits in a place of honor at Our Lady of the Oranges Cathedral. She savors the crowning moment of her life's ambition as the pope places the scarlet biretta on her son Michael's bowed head-but her joy is short-lived. Alice's daughter, Sara, is head of the district attorney's sexual assault unit and is bringing charges against Michael and his aides. They had knowledge of the criminal conduct of a sexually predatory priest-and allegedly failed to report him. Author Kevin E. Gallagher has created an eerily accurate account of the Catholic Church's struggle to confront and root out the evil wielded by the sexually predatory priests infecting their ranks. The Letter Killeth is a timely, objective, and most entertaining work that puts a fictional face on the reality of this crisis in the church. Gallagher has taken a very serious subject, coated it with lively writing and humor, and made it an enjoyable, thought provoking, and entertaining experience. -- JACK MILES, PULITZER PRIZE WINNING AUTHOR Timely!
