Book Description
A young man will go to any length to uncover the truth about his girlfriend’s death in this “expertly crafted, psychologically ambitious” thriller (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Jarlath “Jar” Costello never got over his girlfriend’s suicide five years ago. In fact, he’s certain she’s still alive. The brilliant young Cambridge student was crushed by the loss of her father. It’s said that she leapt to her death off the cliffs of Norfolk. The case is closed . . . though her body was never found. Jar still sees Rosa everywhere—a face on the train, a figure on the cliff. He wonders if he might be going mad. Then he gets an imploring email: “Find me, Jar. Find me, before they do. . . .” As Jar digs into the past, he enters a dark underworld where nothing is as it seems, and no one can be trusted. He is soon thrust into the heart of a larger intrigue that may finally shed some light on Rosa’s death . . . even as it dangerously threatens his own life.

Rambling Man Walks The Ridgeway
Author: Andrew Bowden
Publisher: Rambling Man
ISBN:
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 78
Book Description
All good journeys start somewhere. There is always a beginning. There is always the place where it all starts. The place where the journey starts may be amazing. It may be mundane. It may be glamorous. It may be dour. It may be exciting and adventurous. Or it may be besides a road a few miles away from Swindon. The Ridgeway goes for the Swindon based option to start its journey; a National Trail that follows the part of the absolutely ancient former "green" road known as The Ridge Way. The modern route is just a bit shorter the original 400 mile one. The National Trail was opened in 1973 and provides a route for walkers connecting Overton Hill in Wiltshire with Ivinghoe Beacon in Buckinghamshire; an 87 mile route with ancient forts, barrows, white horses, monuments and more. Or, if you're Rambling Man, you get rural pubs playing trance music and revelations about 1980s television programme Button Moon, that shake you to the core.

Book Description
'Highly recommended' MICK HERRON 'The Secret History meets The Capture' J.P. DELANEY Adam lives a picture-perfect life. Happy marriage. Healthy kids. Successful career as a doctor. But Adam feels like he is being watched. Hospital CCTV, strangers' mobile phones, city traffic cameras – he thinks they're all surveilling him, recording his every move. All because of something terrible that happened at a drunken party when he was a medical student. Something he had hoped was forgotten. He should have known that an event as traumatic as that doesn't just go away. So when someone from his past infiltrates his life, he knows there's no point running from the Faustian pact he made years ago. He knows that the deadly game has begun – and there's no place left to hide. No Place to Hide is a spellbinding tale of psychological suspense, weaving together the dark web, murder, and blackmail... 'Compelling, relentless and genuinely frightening' SIMON RUSSELL BEALE 'Intelligent, dark, twisty' JANE SHEMILT 'Monroe builds up the tension well, offering a battle between good and evil and bringing in the kinds of questions most people ask themselves' LITERARY REVIEW 'Clever, convincing and wickedly twisty' MICK HERRON 'An intelligent and inventive thriller that grips to the very last page' J.P. DELANEY 'Disturbing and fun at the same time, this is a techno-thriller with an entirely human core.' MORNING STAR

Simple Forms
Author: Douglas Gray
Publisher:
ISBN: 019870609X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
Simple Forms is a study of popular or folk literature in the medieval period. Focusing both on the vast body of oral literature that lies behind the written texts which have survived from the medieval period and on the popular literature provided by literate authors for audiences of hearers or readers with varying degrees of literacy, Douglas Gray leads new readers to a productively complicated understanding of the relationship between medieval popular culture and the culture of the learned. He argues that medieval society was stratified, in what seems to us a rigid way, but that culturally it was more flexible. Literary topics, themes, and forms moved; there was much borrowing, and a constant interaction. Popular tales, motifs, and ideas passed into learned or courtly works; learned forms and attitudes made their way in into popular culture. All in all this seems to have been a fruitful symbiosis. The book's twelve chapters are principally organised genre, covering epics, ballads, popular romances, folktales, the German sage, legends, animal tales and fables, proverbs, riddles, satires, songs, and drama.
