  Mummy, why do you always have to leave for 17A… 
   
   
   
  17A Keong Saik Road recounts Charmaine Leung’s growing-up years on Keong Saik Road in the 1970s when it was a prominent red-light precinct in Chinatown in Singapore. An interweaving of past and present narratives, 17A Keong Saik Road tells of her mother’s journey as a young child put up for sale to becoming the madame of a brothel in Keong Saik. Unfolding her story as the daughter of a brothel operator and witnessing these changes to her family, Charmaine traces the transformation of the Keong Saik area from the 1930s to the present, and through writing, finds reconciliation. 
   
  A beautiful dedication to the past, to memory, and to the people who have gone before us, 17A Keong Saik Road tells the rich stories of the Ma Je, the Pei Pa Zai, and the Dai Gu Liong—marginalised, forgotten women of the past, who despite their difficulties, persevered in working towards the hope of a better future.

  Hey, it’s Isaiah Boone, though a lot of people know me as Exodus. I want to personally invite you into my world in Life & Music. This is my unfiltered story—the ups, the downs, and everything in between. I’ll share how church pews turned into rap stages, how heartbreak nearly broke me, and how faith, family, and that undeniable need to keep making music pulled me through. 
  I’ve been on both sides of the mic: one foot in gospel choirs, another in street rap battles. Along the way, I faced backstabbing deals, painful losses, and unexpected victories that shaped who I am. It’s raw and real—sometimes heavy, sometimes light, but always honest. You’ll hear about the friendships that saved me, the hustle that pushed me, and the faith that never let me go. 
  So plug in those headphones, settle in, and let me walk you through my life. If you’ve ever dared to dream big, lost your way, or found hope in the most unlikely places, you’ll feel right at home with me.

  Winner of 'Best Book' and 'Impact for Change' True Crime Awards 2025 
  The shocking true story of one of Britain’s most secretive, groundbreaking and successful police covert operations 
  Bristol, 1979. 
  An attacker roams the streets… 
  Young women are warned not to go out alone… 
  Enter the Decoys. 
  For several years, a prolific predator haunted Bristol. Avon and Somerset Police had tried all their usual tactics to catch the ‘Clifton Rapist’, and public pressure was mounting. 
  In 1979, a daring new plan was introduced, unlike anything previously attempted by a UK police force. A small group of young female officers – some aged just 18 – put their lives on the line, walking the quiet residential roads late at night, acting as bait. 
  Drawing on in-depth research and first-hand interviews with the women at the heart of the operation, Decoy is a dramatic retelling of one of the most groundbreaking agent provocateur stings in British history. 
  Decoy by Robert Murphy is a gripping non-fiction autobiography that explores the daring tactics employed by law enforcement in 1979. The book delves into the experiences of the women who served as decoys, their encounters with harassment and assault, and the social implications of their actions. 
  For fans of Jeremy Craddock (The Jigsaw Murders), David Wilson (Murder at Home), Ryan Green (Outback Outlaw), Gregg Olsen (The Amish Wife), and Her Honour Wendy Joseph Qc (Unlawful Killings).

  THEODORE ROOSEVELT 
  As the number of presidents increased from the United States’ early days, after independence into the 20th century, it became difficult for any one president to stand out among the rest. From the perspective of the presidency, many great men have come and gone, all unique in their origins and personas and who had many achievements during their careers. 
  With that said, there are a select few who are universally remembered as being greater, more impactful leaders than the rest. The subject of this book, Theodore Roosevelt, is considered by many to be one of these great leaders. 
  This book aims to serve as a biography of the 26th President of the United States, detailing his early life, education, career, time as President, and the legacy he has left behind.
