Through meticulous research and compelling narrative, Smith employs a blend of journalistic rigor and literary flair, drawing readers into a labyrinth of clues, testimonies, and theoretical analyses. The book is characterized by an engaging prose style that juxtaposes personal anecdotes with broader societal implications, making it not only a collection of intriguing mysteries but also a commentary on human nature and the quest for truth amidst ambiguity. Set against the backdrop of a world increasingly obsessed with true crime narratives, Smith's work resonates deeply with the zeitgeist of contemporary literature while invoking classical detective storytelling traditions. Edward H. Smith, a seasoned journalist with over two decades of experience in investigative reporting, brings a unique perspective to this subject matter. His deep-seated interest in unsolved mysteries stems from his formative years spent immersing himself in historical crime literature and documentaries.

I highly recommend "Mysteries of the Missing" to readers who are drawn to stories that intertwine intrigue with empathy.

Smith's adept storytelling invites you to become an armchair detective, making it a perfect companion for those long, contemplative evenings.

Forged by Speed - The making of...

Steve Peat, Tim March

In a little over two and a half minutes on 6 September 2009 Steve Peat cemented his place in mountain biking history, becoming downhill world champion at the seventeenth time of asking and by a winning margin of just five hundredths of a second. But 'Peaty's' road to the coveted rainbow stripes began almost two decades earlier on the woodland trails of Northern England. Born and raised in Sheffield, he narrowly avoided going down the wrong track and instead chose to race cross-country mountain bikes before switching to the rapidly emerging discipline of downhill where he would compete alongside other young British racers including Rob Warner and the late, great, Jason McRoy. Since then, Steve has competed against the greatest riders of all time, including Nicolas Vouilloz, Shaun Palmer and Greg Minnaar, and his name has become synonymous around the world with downhill mountain biking.
In Forged by Speed, Steve shares his incredible story, from the Steel City to the top step of the world championship podium. Honest, compelling and funny, it is the autobiography of a British sporting legend.

A new appreciation of being in nature and love of cold water swimming and immersion was born.
In The Cold Fix, Sara takes the reader on an enthralling journey, from her first tentative steps into the water, to meeting other swimmers from around the world who share her passion and who can help her answer the question: what is it about cold water that proves irresistible to an increasing number of people?
