Who is the man with no head? Commander John Carlyle has enough on
his plate with a dead film producer and a runaway actor, not to
mention the alcoholic boss who's accused him of harassment. The
last thing he needs is a headless corpse in the cells of a recently
closed police station. Does the killing have something to do with
the station's dark past? It seems more than coincidence but Carlyle
has to identify the victim before he can solve the murder... Praise

Britain's emergence as one of Europe's major maritime powers has
all too frequently been subsumed by nationalistic narratives that
focus on operations and technology. This volume, by contrast,
offers a daring new take on Britain's maritime past. It brings
together scholars from a range of disciplines to explore the
manifold ways in which the sea shaped British history,
demonstrating the number of approaches that now have a stake in
defining the discipline of maritime history. The chapters analyse
the economic, social, and cultural contexts in which English
maritime endeavour existed, as well as discussing representations
of the sea. The contributors show how people from across the
British Isles increasingly engaged with the maritime world, whether
through their own lived experiences or through material culture.
The volume also includes essays that investigate encounters between
English voyagers and indigenous peoples in Africa, and the
intellectual foundations of imperial ambition.

Inspector Carlyle has a new partner in crime . . . but for how
long? When a fortune in uncut diamonds are nicked by a group of
soldiers, Carlyle teams up with Captain Daniel Hunter of the
Military Police to hunt them down. But Hunter has come up against
this crew before and they are not going to let him stand in their
way a second time. The investigation is turned upside down when
Hunter's family are kidnapped by the gang. The inspector has to
look on helplessly while the military policeman goes off on a
personal mission of revenge. As events spiral horribly out of
control, Carlyle faces a terrible choice: does he let Hunter take
matters into his own hands or should he try and bring his new
partner to justice? 'A cracking read' BBC Radio 4 'Fast paced and

Awakening the sleeping dragon... Smooth expat Michael Nicholson is
a fixer, getting on by doing favours for the rich and powerful in
booming China. When he makes the mistake of getting too close to
one of his clients, the wife of a leading Communist Party official,
the ageing Lothario fears for his life as a vengeful husband
decides to put his house in order. So when a domestic dispute from
the other side of the world leads to a shoot-out in a luxury
penthouse apartment in Chelsea, an ex-cop called Marvin Taylor is
one of the casualties. Inspector John Carlyle is little more than a
casual onlooker until Taylor's widow turns up, looking for answers.
The inspector is drawn into the morass of dealing and
double-dealing, much to the dismay of his boss, Carole Simpson, who
wants him to focus on Barbara Hutton, a Bloomsbury housewife who
may - or may not - be a former German terrorist wanted for a
forty-year-old murder... 'A cracking read' BBC Radio 4 'Fast paced

cope with the situation while meanwhile, back in London, the
charismatic major, Christian Holroyd, is finally spiralling
completely out of control...
