When nine-year-old Rosalie Marshall vanished from her bed one summer night, her disappearance tore her family apart.
Now, sixteen years later, her mother Helena is found dead, her husband by her side. It looks like a straightforward murder-suicide but DS Maeve Kerrigan and DI Josh Derwent soon discover nothing about this case is straightforward.
The Marshalls have been keeping secrets. And someone is prepared to kill to hide the truth. Until Maeve finds out what happened to Rosalie, no one will be safe . . .
Media and Society explores the relationship between the media, their institutions and the world we live in, examining how they are connected and how society and the media affect each other.
The book analyses representations of the world found in films, television, advertisements, news and online to understand the impact of the media in the contemporary world. The sixth edition explores several themes throughout the text, including the contradictory nature of the media and the psychological concerns of the media, to provide
clear explanations of complex theories and ideas.

Casey McQuiston's instant New York Times and USA Today bestseller.
Now a Prime Original movie starring Nicholas Galitzine, Taylor
Zakhar Perez, and Uma Thurman. What happens when America's First
Son falls in love with the Prince of Wales? Alex Claremont-Diaz is
handsome, charismatic, a genius – pure millennial-marketing gold
for the White House ever since his mother first became President of
the United States. There’s only one problem. When the tabloids
get hold of a photo involving an altercation between Alex and
Prince Henry, U.S./British relations take a turn for the worse.
Heads of family and state devise a plan for damage control: stage a
truce. But what begins as a fake, Instagrammable friendship grows
deeper, and more dangerous, than either Alex or Henry could have
imagined. Soon they are hurtling into a secret romance that could
derail the presidential campaign and upend two nations. 'Red, White
& Royal Blue is outrageously fun. It is romantic, sexy, witty,
and thrilling. I loved every second.' - Taylor Jenkins Reid, author
of Daisy Jones & The Six

*Instant #1 Indie Bestseller* From Casey McQuiston, New York Times
bestselling author of Red, White & Royal Blue comes One Last
Stop, a romantic comedy that will stop readers in their tracks. . .
Moving to New York City is supposed to prove cynical
twenty-three-year-old August right: magic and cinematic love
stories don't exist. But then, she meets this gorgeous girl on the
train. Jane. Dazzling, charming, mysterious, impossible Jane. Jane
with her rough edges and swoopy hair and soft smile. August's
subway crush becomes the best part of her day, but pretty soon she
discovers there's one big problem: Jane is displaced in time from
the 1970s, and August is going to have to use everything she tried
to leave in her own past to help Jane. Maybe it's time to start
believing in some things after all. 'A dazzling romance, filled
