Hidden In Plain Sight is a work that is almost twenty-five years in
the making. The goal was to construct a guide for the fifty-two
witnesses that testified publicly before the House Select Committee
on Assassinations. But it doesn’t stop there. Through analyzation
of witness testimony at the original hearings, and comparing
statements given before and after HSCA testimony, author Tim Smith
has brought the evidence into the year 2022. Based on fact,
testimony, and independent inquiry, Hidden In Plain Sight is a
refreshing take on the HSCA and the Kennedy Assassination. “When
you have eliminated the impossible, whatever is left, however
improbable, has to be the truth.” – Sherlock HolmesÂ
This is the first English translation, by Thomas Allan Smith, of
Philosophy of the Name (Filosofiia imeni). Sergii Bulgakov
(1871–1944) wrote the book in response to a theological
controversy that erupted in Russia just before the outbreak of
World War I. Bulgakov develops a philosophy of language that aims
to justify the truthfulness of the statement "the Name of God is
God himself," a claim provoking debate on the meaning of names, and
the Name of God in particular. Philosophy of the Name investigates
the nature of words and human language, considers grammar and parts
of speech, and concludes with an exposition on the Name of God.
Name-glorifying, a spiritual movement connected with the Orthodox
practice of the Jesus Prayer, was initially censured by the Holy
Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church, and the controversy raised
profound questions that continue to vex ecclesiastical authorities
and theologians today. The controversy exposed a vital question
concerning the ability of human language to express experiences of
the Divine truthfully and authentically. Bulgakov examines the idea
that humans do not create words, rather, objects speak their word
to human beings, and words are the incarnation of thought in a
sonic body conveying meaning. Philosophy of the Name offers a
philosophy of language for contemporary theologians of all
confessions who wrestle with the issue of language and God. It is a
persuasive apologia for the mysterious power of words and an appeal
to make use of words responsibly not only when speaking about God
but equally when communicating with others.

The year is 1942. America has, finally, entered the war on the side
of beleaguered Britain, bringing to bear its manpower and
resources. Winston Churchill has long fought for American
involvement, and his dream has been fulfilled. But now comes
something to imperil that dream, something with the potential to
turn British public opinion against the friendly invaders. American
crime, American justice would seem to be straightforward, but the
jurisdictional boundaries are crossed, reversed, lost in the maze
of murder. An American MP, a Scotland Yard detective and a British
officer with close ties to the world of spies and military
intelligence together try to unravel the threads, bring murderers
to justice. Nothing is straightforward. Neither justice nor
retribution. Neither innocence or guilt. The quest takes the three
investigators all the way from the British Prime Minister and the
American commander, General Eisenhower, to the lowest rungs of the
British underworld.
An Australian man, Adam White, finds himself in London working for
an unidentified international organisation, work that brings him
into intimate contact with good and evil, with life and death
itself. His own life hangs in the balance. Can good ultimately
triumph over evil? Can a good man do evil things? Does redemption
lie at the end of the road less travelled?

Superintendent Jack Sargent is a Western Australian Police
detective, and one of the good guys. But not everybody thinks so.
Someone has him in their murderous sights, and seemingly will stop
at nothing to achieve their end. Sargent is dragged into a
life-and-death struggle against an adversary he can't identify, and
who the WA Police can't catch. His disabled son, Daniel, is caught
up in the mayhem. And so is Samuel Pepys, dead since 1703, but
nonetheless a key player in the drama engulfing Sargent. The
killer's motives are obscure, his identity is unknown, and the
advance 'clues' he provides to Sargent before each killing serve
only to taunt and frustrate. People are going to die. The only
unknowns are who, and how many.
Perth, Western Australia, is the world's most isolated capital
city. But even in sleepy Perth a serial killer is at work, striking
seemingly at will and with impunity. Detective Superintendent Jack
Sargent is gradually drawn further and further into the nightmare
of successive murders. The killer's ultimate objective soon becomes
shockingly clear. And it becomes clear that Sargent and the killer
are linked by a 17thC English diarist, Samuel Pepys. The key to the
unfolding mayhem is Pepys' diary entries more than three centuries
earlier. Sargent can't extricate himself from the killer's
inexorable progress, nor can he keep his disabled son from being
dragged along with him. The killer is always one step ahead of
Sargent and his team of WA Police, taunting Sargent, mocking the
inability of the police to prevent further murders. The outcome
seems inevitable. Sargent and his son are in the killer's sights.
