  It's 2016 and Britain is in turmoil. The country is split between those who want to vote to leave Europe and those who want to stay put. It's causing panic in WSB, England's foremost anti-terrorism unit, but Captain Gibson is at his wit's end. His finest agents have been sent over to Europe to help local police cope with the influx of British football fans following their favourite teams in the football World Cup. He's been left with a skeleton crew, including the bare bones that is Deputy Director Caulfield. Gibson hates to take him out from behind his comfortable desk, but someone has to meet the Trade Delegation from China and corral them on trips around Salford and Manchester. Caulfield isn't just bad at the job, he keeps losing them. One by one, the Chinese guys are dying. Now, that's carelessness, indeed. Sure, he has Terry the technician to assist him, but the young man is fine with computers, hopeless with real people. They both miss Mickey, but the big man is in tatters himself. His long-time love, Melia, is in hospital, and he is to be found at her bedside. Doesn't he realise the boys need him? Caulfield can't cope, but what is really galling is that he has been given the job only because of a perceived level of specialised knowledge he has. He served in the Hong Kong police force once and, while he was there, he met the Reverend Umh. Now, that religious gentleman is part of the visiting delegation, and Caulfield is expected to liaise with him. But he can't. The Reverend won't speak. He's dumb! Why, thinks the concerned Mr Caulfield, it's almost as if he isn't the same man at all, not the one he used to know. Could it be true? Is it possible that the man is a fake? And a murderer?

  "You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. I have loved none but you."
  
  Eight years ago, Anne Elliot was young, beautiful, and deeply in love with Frederick Wentworth, a confident but poor naval officer. However, she was "persuaded" by her family and her trusted friend, Lady Russell, to break the engagement due to his lack of fortune and status. Now, at twenty-seven, Anne is a "faded" spinster living with her vain father at Kellynch Hall. When the Napoleonic Wars end, a now-wealthy and decorated Captain Wentworth returns to England. Forced into the same social circles, Anne must endure his cold indifference while grappling with her own silent regret. It is a poignant journey of emotional reckoning, asking if a heart can truly recover its first, best love.
  
  The Poignancy of the "Second Chance": Unlike the vibrant courtships of Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion is a story of "autumnal" beauty. It focuses on the internal life of Anne Elliot—Austen's most selfless and observant heroine—as she navigates a world that has largely overlooked her, only to find herself rediscovered by the man she once gave up.
  
  A Celebration of the British Navy: Written during the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, the novel serves as a tribute to the "New Men" of the Navy. Through characters like Admiral Croft and Captain Harville, Austen contrasts the vapid snobbery of the aristocracy with the warmth, loyalty, and professional excellence of the sailors who protected the nation.

  Turns out Delly named Everly’s dad executor of his estate: a crumbling farmhouse, a chunk of overgrown land, and a rumor about buried gold that’s been circling town for decades. While her dad dives headfirst into treasure-hunting mode, Everly’s stuck trying to figure out who wanted Delly dead—and why. 
  Then another body turns up, and this one is definitely no accident. 
  As Everly follows a trail of secrets through old rivalries, family feuds, and long-forgotten scandals, she starts to realize this isn’t just about gold—it’s about payback. And someone in town will do anything to keep the past buried. 
  Good thing Everly has a shovel.
