In "Captain Kodak," Alexander Black expertly weaves a narrative that blends adventure and technology within the burgeoning world of early photography. The book is replete with vivid descriptions and engaging dialogue, immersing readers in a fantastical journey that illustrates the transformative power of the camera as a tool for both exploration and self-discovery. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, a period marked by rapid industrialization and cultural change, Black delves into how photographic technology not only altered societies but also the way individuals perceived themselves and their surroundings. Alexander Black, a pioneer in the realm of photography and literature, drew inspiration from his own experiences as a traveler and an enthusiast of evolving photographic practices. His keen understanding of the intersection between art and technology informs this work, as he challenges readers to consider the implications of capturing life through a lens. Black's profound interest in the mysteries of the human experience and the pursuit of knowledge resonates throughout the text, making it a rich exploration of identity. "Captain Kodak" is a compelling read for anyone fascinated by the interplay of technology and personal narrative. Black's narrative not only enchants with its imaginative elements but also offers a poignant reflection on the human condition, making it an essential addition to the libraries of scholars, adventurers, and photography aficionados alike.

    A Murderer on the Loose. 
    A Detective Haunted by the Past. 
    A Race Against Time. 
    DCI Jonathan Walker is a senior detective for the Lancashire Constabulary in North West England. He’s haunted by events of the past and hell bent on redemption, if he can stay healthy for long enough that is. 
    "A moody, enveloping crime thriller." (SPR Editorial Review) 
    After a body turns up in the sleepy village of Rufford, Walker returns from his leave of absence early, his experience deemed crucial for the case. But when it transpires the crime may be linked to a decades old cold case involving the murder of his sister, the crime becomes personal: he needs this—for his wife and kids, to make amends for past mistakes, and for the current victim—but he must toe the line if he isn’t to be thrown off the case. 
    When more people start to go missing and bodies turn up with the same bizarre signature, Walker and his team realise they have a serial killer on their hands. But time is running out if they want to save more people from dying, and one in particular, and Walker has to consider breaking the law himself to make things right, once and for all. 
    Fans of Ian Rankin, JD Kirk, Matt Brolly, Patricia Gibney, and Michael Connelly will love this! 
    The Icehouse is the stunning debut police procedural crime thriller from JJ Richards.
