  An ex-spy lifts the lid on life in the secret serviceA Globe and Mail and Toronto Star bestseller!Andrew Kirsch didn’t grow up watching spy movies, or dreaming about being a real-life James Bond. He was hardly aware that Canada even had its own intelligence service—let alone knew what its officers did. But when a terrorist attack occurred near the office of his financial services job, all of a sudden fighting terrorism meant a lot more to him than the markets. Within 18 months he had landed a job with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS)—where he spent the next decade of his life.In I Was Never Here, Kirsch (now an in-demand security consultant) spills the secrets of what life as an intelligence officer is really like, and dispels a few myths along the way. With humour, honesty, and candour, Kirsch shares his on-the-ground experience (or as much of it as he’s allowed to) of becoming a member of CSIS: from his vetting and training, to his initial desk job as a policy analyst, to his rise up the ranks to leading covert special operations missions. If you’ve ever wondered whether spies can have real dating lives, how they handle family responsibilities, or how they come up with cover stories or aliases, you’re in luck.From the time he tried to get the code names “Burgundy” and “Anchorman” assigned to human sources (with no luck), to the night a covert operation was almost thwarted by a flyer delivery man, Kirsch takes you behind the scenes with an authentic view of Canada’s spy agency, and the intricate intelligence-sharing apparatus that works day and night to keep us safe. I Was Never Here is also a testament to one man’s drive to serve his country, and the sacrifices, big and small, that he made along the way.

  A true story of the largest exhumation of murder victims ever undertaken by the FBI, seeking justice for 200 families 
  In the shadows of Detroit's abandoned buildings and beneath the soil of county cemeteries lay hundreds of murder victims-buried anonymously, their killers uncharged, their families not knowing why they disappeared. For decades, only decaying police files hinted at what happened to these forgotten cold cases murders. 
  Until two women decided to listen to the dead. 
  Women Who Talk to the Dead chronicles the remarkable journey of Detroit Police Detective Shannon Jones and FBI Special Agent Leslie Larsen. Surrounded by skepticism and bureaucratic roadblocks, these women spearhead Operation UNITED—the largest coordinated exhumation of unidentified murder victims in FBI history. 
  Through rain-soaked cemetery digs, crumbling case files, and bone-filled body bags, Jones and Larsen assemble a team led by female forensic anthropologists, scientists, and investigators who methodically unearthed Detroit's painful past. Their primary goal: to identify the nameless dead and bring closure to families who had spent decades wondering what happened to their loved ones. Their ultimate goal: solve 200 murder cases.

  In the annals of British justice, there exists a story that has stood the test of time, a tale of passion, despair, and a fateful twist of destiny. In the turbulent summer of 1955, the nation held its collective breath as Ruth Ellis, a mother of two, faced conviction for the calculated murder of her unfaithful lover, David Blakely.

  Drawing exclusively from the original trial transcripts, eyewitness testimonies and contemporary reports, we invite you to join the jury at the Old Bailey tasked with unravelling the truth behind the events leading up to that fatal Easter Sunday when Mrs Ellis fired six fatal shots, shattering the calm of Hampstead and sealing her place in history as the last woman to be hanged in Britain.

Why did she endure an abusive liaison with the charismatic yet dangerous racing driver David Blakely? What compelled her to take the life of the man she loved?
