Maison d'édition: ECW Press

Synopsis

Award-winning author Anne Emery is back with another Collins-Burke team-up
		 
The students at Father Brennan Burke’s choir school have written a two-act play about the Halifax Explosion of 1917. The last thing Burke expects is a series of threats against his school and his students, designed to make sure they never perform act two. Then the body of a young woman, Trudi Ebbett, is found strangled in Halifax. A junior hockey player, a friend of one of the students, is the last person known to have seen her alive and is suspected of the murder. Lawyer Monty Collins, hired to represent him, cannot find anyone with a motive for killing Trudi. But Monty’s daughter Normie, who is a student at the school and one of the authors of the script, joins her dad and Father Burke as they look deeper into the case. And they begin to suspect that the death is somehow linked to the threats against the play and the events of 1917. But how could something that happened so long ago be a motive for murder in the 1990s?

Tiger Lily Of Bangkok In London...

Owen Jones

The Tiger is on the Prowl Again!
After the devastating effect her rampage had on her own life and the citizens of Bangkok in her early days as a medical student there, Lily`s life quietened, and she settled down to her studies. After two years, she won a scholarship to work in Great Ormond Street Children`s Hospital in London and moved there without Ron, who continued his education in Bangkok.
`Tiger Lily of Bangkok in London` picks up her story in her second of two years as a student doctor at the hospital. She loves her job there, and gets on well with the staff and children patients alike, but she has no friends outside work.
On one of her days off, she reads an article in the Sunday Times about organised paedophile rings in London involving the very establishment of the country itself and it incenses her.
She can either ignore it or get involved.
Her first reaction is to avoid re-arousing the Demon that had possessed her in Bangkok only a couple of years earlier, but when she meets fellow victims of child abuse, the die seems cast.
This story is not for the squeamish, but does not describe acts of child abuse. It does, however, make frequent references to notorious scenes of child abuse, especially the infamous `Meat Rack` on Piccadilly Circus in central London.
Many of the issues raised are still under police enquiry at the time of writing, although few people expect anything to come from them.
Shame on our so-called leaders, who would rather protect the powerful abusers than the powerless abused!
