Sinopse

All five books in 'Kind Hearts And Martinets', a series of mystery novels by Pete Adams, now available in one volume!
 
Cause And Effect: Meet Detective Inspector Jack Austin, a self-proclaimed enigma who runs the Community Police Unit from his deck chair. Despite his mental health struggles, Austin has a knack for solving crimes, even if they're as minor as bicycle theft. But when he stumbles upon a malevolent scheme after investigating the case of an executed police officer, he must use his wits and stay sane to uncover the culprit behind it all.
 
Irony In The Soul: After recovering from his last mission, Detective Inspector Jack Austin clashes with his new Chief Constable, a retired colonel. When the Constable is kidnapped and dismembered, Austin investigates a series of cryptic murders that includes a beheaded minister, a drowned woman and some terrorists. As he works to solve the cases, Austin is plagued by an inner conflict that could push him to become a conspirator himself. Can he catch the perpetrator before it's too late?
 
A Barrow Boy's Cadenza: DCI Jack Austin is back after surviving a terrorist explosion, a tutu incident, and a night of celebratory drinking. Now, he's proposed an alliance with a newly-turned criminal informant. After a string of high-profile murders, Austin goes deep undercover and uncovers a villainous scheme that threatens the Star Chamber. In a world turned upside down, Austin needs to rely on his courage, skill, and improbable luck to bring the perpetrators of the far-reaching scheme to justice.
 
Ghost And Ragman Roll: Jack's honeymoon in France takes an unexpected turn as he's dragged into a string of misdeeds, and upon returning to Portsmouth, he finds himself dealing with an ambitious new detective who threatens his territory and his ego. But when a corpulent gangster disappears and a banker is murdered in Paris, Austin takes matters into his own hands, employing illogically effective tactics to solve the case and protect those he cares about.
 
Merde And Mandarins: DCI Jack Austin comes out of retirement to investigate a series of targeted attacks on high-ranking civil servants in London, including the Defense and Home Office Secretaries. When his wife is kidnapped, Austin must balance the rescue mission with solving the case and uncovering the motives of the master conspirator. As the investigation leads to a chaotic conclusion, Austin must use all of his skills to uncover the supreme Machiavellian plot and find solace in a welcome retirement.

    Nibble & Kuhn - A Novel

    From the award-winning author of Empire Settings, “skilled character development guides this courtroom potboiler to a neat finish” (Publishers Weekly).   An unraveling law firm. An unwinnable case. An unworkable love. Derek Dover has it all. Derek’s up for partner at Nibble & Kuhn just as that most proper of Boston law firms comically tries to ‘rebrand’ itself for the Google era. Pompous and arbitrary, the ruling junta of partners saddles him with a high visibility lawsuit just weeks before trial. The diligent young attorney arranges things so that Maria Parma, a new associate in the firm for whom he’s fallen hard, also gets named to the case. Maria, in turn, can’t keep her hands off Derek, but it’s complicated because she’s engaged to someone else. As Derek prepares his case on behalf of seven young victims of an industrial polluter, his anxieties about his career and his torments over Maria’s mixed messages only increase. Ultimately, Derek sets into motion a line of inquiry that spins events entirely out of the control of the judge, jury, and all attorneys.   “Schmahmann . . . takes a sardonic look at the law and justice in this smoothly told love story.”  —Booklist   “David Schmahmann tells a wonderful story, and he tells it brilliantly. I expect great success for Nibble and Kuhn and I won’t even be jealous if it arrives.” —New York Times–bestselling author Robert B. Parker

    Of all the natural sciences there is not one which offers such sublime objects to the attention of the inquirer as does the science of astronomy. From the earliest ages the study of the stars has exercised the same fascination as it possesses at the present day. Among the most primitive peoples, the movements of the sun, the moon, and the stars commanded attention from their supposed influence on human affairs. From the days of Hipparchus down to the present hour the science of astronomy has steadily grown. One great observer after another has appeared from time to time, to reveal some new phenomenon with regard to the celestial bodies or their movements, while from time to time one commanding intellect after another has arisen to explain the true import of the facts of observations. The history of astronomy thus becomes inseparable from the history of the great men to whose labours its development is due.  In the ensuing chapters we have endeavoured to sketch the lives and the work of the great philosophers, by whose labours the science of astronomy has been created.  (from the Introduction)

    Seven Steps from Snowdon to...

    As he teetered on a narrow rock ledge a yak’s bellow short of the stratosphere, with a rubber mask strapped to his face, a pair of mittens the size of a sealion’s flippers, and a drop of two kilometres below him, it’s fair to say Mark Horrell wasn’t entirely happy with the situation he found himself in. 
    He had been an ordinary hiker who had only read books about mountaineering. When he signed up for an organised trek in Nepal with a group of elderly ladies, little did he know that ten years later he would be attempting to climb the world’s highest mountain. 
    But as he travelled across the Himalayas, Andes, Alps and East Africa, following in the footsteps of the pioneers, he dreamed up a seven-point plan to gain the skills and experience which could turn a wild idea into reality. 
    Funny, incisive and heartfelt, his journey provides a refreshingly honest portrait of the joys and torments of a modern-day Everest climber.
