Little does real estate agent Julie Mahoney know when she steps into the empty house on Olive Street that she is taking the first step on the trail of a conspiracy reaching from the present day White House all the way back to Nazi Germany. After a ghoulish threat is made against the grandchildren Julie is raising after the death of her daughter, she teams up with police detective Seth Harris to unravel the secrets of the house on Olive and the identity of the man found murdered there. A fiery attempt on Julie's own life does not deter them. Joined by F.B.I. agent Joe Moline, and assisted by the discovery of a sixty year old journal, their pursuit of truth takes them from the streets of New Orleans and the discovery of stolen art to the hills of North Carolina where Julie's life is once again threatened by an anti-government militia group. She escapes only by using her wits. What does Julie know that she doesn't realize she knows? The final answer must come knocking on her door. . .

How does it feel when someone you love develops dementia? How do you cope with the shock, the stress and the grief? Can you be sure that you and your family will receive the support you need? In Telling Tales About Dementia, thirty carers from different backgrounds and in different circumstances share their experiences of caring for a parent, partner or friend with dementia. They speak from the heart about love and loss: 'I still find it hard to believe that Alzheimer's has happened to us,' writes one contributor, 'as if we were sent the wrong script.' The stories told here vividly reflect the tragedy of dementia, the gravity of loss, and instances of unsatisfactory diagnosis, treatment and care. But they contain hope and optimism too: clear indications that the quality of people's lives can be enhanced by sensitive support services, by improved understanding of the impact of dementia, by recognising the importance of valuing us all as human beings, and by embracing and sustaining the connections between us. This unique collection of personal accounts will be an engaging read for anyone affected by dementia in a personal or professional context, including relatives of people with dementia, social workers, medical practitioners and care staff.
