Book Description
'Utterly compelling from the first page' - Kerry Hudson 'Gripping . . . this is one not to miss' - Irish Times For two years, Donna McLean lived a life of bliss with her boyfriend, Carlo. But her great love story wasn't just built on lies - it was one. Because Carlo wasn't a bike-obsessed Italian locksmith at all; he was a British police officer, part of a unit that had worked undercover for years to infiltrate activist groups across the country. More than twenty of those officers deliberately targeted women and duped them into relationships, posing as socialists, environmental campaigners and union reps, before vanishing without a trace. Small Town Girl is Donna's shattering story of a life turned upside down overnight, and her reclamation of a truth that was shamelessly buried by those who should be protecting the most vulnerable in society. 'Mind-blowing, gut-wrenching, shocking and beautifully written' - Chris Atkins

Banks has told his story in a raw and honest autobiography. It is the best true crime book published in Australia in a decade.' -John Silvester, Crime Reporter for The Age Undercover was like guerrilla warfare; to understand your enemy, you had to walk amongst them, to become them. The trick was to keep an eye on that important line between who you were and who you were pretending to be. This is the true story of Keith Banks, one of Queensland's most decorated police officers, and his journey into the world of drugs as an undercover operative in the 1980s. In an era of corruption, often alone and with no backup, he and other undercover cops quickly learned to blend into the drug scene, smoking dope and drinking with targets, buying drugs and then having dealers arrested. Very quickly, the lines between his identity as a police officer and the life he pretended to be part of became blurred. This is a raw and confronting story of undercover cops who all became casualties of that era, some more than others, when not everyone with a badge could be trusted.

CHAPTER TWO 9:05 P.M. Josey lifted her blue eyes from the stopwatch she held.Looking toward her best friend Dean ,who was sitting in the driver's seat,she gave him a smile and a nod."Are you ready?" A mischievous grin spread across his face.He turned to stare down the road,hands rubbing the steering wheel restlessly.The car trembled underneath and all around them.He revved the engine with a tap to the gas pedal."Ready." Her gaze refocused on the road and her thumb clicked the switch."Go!" Dean jammed the gear into drive and slammed his foot on the gas pedal.Both of them were lurched back against their seats the same time the car leaped onto the road.Dirt and pebbles flew over the windshield.The tires marked the pavement in solid black trails,squealing as the car turned sharply out of the driveway. Josey gripped the safety handle on her door,fully aware her seatbelt wouldn't be able to control the wild jostles of the ride.She glanced briefly at the stopwatch and then returned her gaze to the windshield. Dean steered the black camaro onto the public road.Dirt flew from the tires when it skidded onto the fresh pavement.The city wasn't much farther now,and then the real fun would begin. "Two minutes,fifty seconds," Josey announced over the roar of the engine. "Let's see if we can make it across the tracks in ten." He grinned at her."Ready for that?" She gave him a stare."Are you?" Buildings rose up on either side of them.Lights danced crazily from the various offices and cars.The engine rumbled louder when Dean sped up ,weaving in and out of the traffic. He let out a holler of thrill and darted around a halting sedan.It beeped angrily behind them.Josey turned around in her seat,looking out the rear window in time to see the driver raise his hand in an angry gesture. "Whoa." She blinked at Dean."You're really ticking off the other drivers." "Don't pester me while I'm driving." His eyes were glued to the road.A light ahead turned red.He jumped into the right lane and turned the same time the other cars passed.A large semi carrying liquid nitrogen was honking at them from behind.It was starting to pull alongside,its right blinker going off. Josey winced when Dean slammed the brakes to avoid the truck as it slid in front of them.The sharp steel rippled their reflections back to them like a woman's vanity mirror. Dean let his foot off the gas for a second,turning the wheel so they got onto the freeway.Other cars were doing 50-60 mph.Dean was cranking his up to 100,laughing at the honks and beep-beeps of the angry drivers left behind. Sirens shrieked behind them.Josey looked over at her mirror.Her heart suddenly sank."Um,Dean...we have a problem." But he didn't have to ask what she meant.Red and blue lights bounced off of his sideview mirrors,and the shrill sound of the sirens was getting closer.He lowered his eyes,mouth turning somber."I see him." "Well,pull over.We can re-time this thing later." He gave her a look of confoundment,his eyes slanted as if to say,"Are you kidding me?" Josey ran a hand over her face and let out a moan."Oh,brother." Dean pushed harder on the gas pedal and the camaro sped faster along the freeway.One look at the speedometer told him it was handling beautifully.The engine spoke volumes underneath the hood,purring like a wildcat down the pavement. The cop car behind was struggling to keep up,dodging cars back and forth in attempt to keep them within sight."Pull over immediately," came a grouchy voice on the bullhorn."Do not make us resort to the full measure of the law." Dean laughed at Josey."Full measures,huh?" He turned over to the far right lane,keeping a watchful eye on the exit signs overhead. Josey glanced at the stopwatch."Five minutes forty-five seconds." She looked back up as he steered onto the exit ramp."Adjust the speed,Dean.We don't want to go barreling off this thing." He shifted in his seat and slowed down.One look in his sideview mirror let him k

Garner's Modern American Usage
Author: Bryan Garner
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 019987462X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 1007
Book Description
Since first appearing in 1998, Garner's Modern American Usage has established itself as the preeminent guide to the effective use of the English language. Brimming with witty, erudite essays on troublesome words and phrases, GMAU authoritatively shows how to avoid the countless pitfalls that await unwary writers and speakers whether the issues relate to grammar, punctuation, word choice, or pronunciation. An exciting new feature of this third edition is Garner's Language-Change Index, which registers where each disputed usage in modern English falls on a five-stage continuum from nonacceptability (to the language community as a whole) to acceptability, giving the book a consistent standard throughout. GMAU is the first usage guide ever to incorporate such a language-change index. The judgments are based both on Garner's own original research in linguistic corpora and on his analysis of hundreds of earlier studies. Another first in this edition is the panel of critical readers: 120-plus commentators who have helped Garner reassess and update the text, so that every page has been improved. Bryan A. Garner is a writer, grammarian, lexicographer, teacher, and lawyer. He has written professionally about English usage for more than 28 years, and his work has achieved widespread renown. David Foster Wallace proclaimed that Bryan Garner is a genius and William Safire called the book excellent. In fact, due to the strength of his work on GMAU, Garner was the grammarian asked to write the grammar-and-usage chapter for the venerable Chicago Manual of Style. His advice on language matters is second to none.
