Coming hot on the heels of his bestsellers Choke and Imperfect
Strangers, Stuart Woods brings back one of his best-loved
characters, Stone Barrington, in a fast-paced roller coaster ride
through the murderous world of high-profile celebrity gossip.
Feared and disliked for both her poison pen and ice-queen persona,
gossip columnist Amanda Dart suddenly finds the tables have turned:
she is the unwitting victim of an anonymous gossipmonger who is
faxing national opinion makers an outrageous scandal sheet
revealing the details of her ongoing indiscretions with a
well-known business tycoon. So Amanda enlists the help of New York
lawyer and investigator Stone Barrington to learn the identity of
the faxer. The problem is, everybody is a suspect in the world of
tabloid journalism. As the faxes grow more scathing and begin to
expose the peccadilloes of not only Amanda but other members of the
gossip community, Barrington winds up with more leads than he can
handle and an employer who is about to take matters dangerously
into her own hands. The world of gossip has been turned on its
head, and it becomes clear to Stone that even the most respected
members of the social scene will stop at nothing - even murder - to
clear their names. Irresistible as only good gossip can be, Dirt is
a mesmerizing tale of betrayal and murder set against a backdrop of
the rapid-fire Manhattan tabloid business and is filled with the
twists and turns that have made Stuart Woods' novels international
hits.

In 1873 a company was formed to construct the first railway across
Canada. It soon branched out into shipping, chartering ships from
the Cunard Line for service between Vancouver, Yokohama, Shanghai
and Hong Kong. In 1889 Canadian Pacific would be awarded the mail
contract for the service across the Pacific and, by 1903, they
would purchase Elder Dempster & Company and begin sailing from
Liverpool to Quebec and Montreal. They obtained control of the
Atlantic, rail and Pacific routes, and later interest in the
Canadian-Australasian Line, becoming 'the world's greatest
transportation system', bridging two oceans and linking four
continents. Canada's largest operator of Atlantic and Pacific
steamships until after the Second World War, CP Ships boasted such
names as Empress of Britain, Empress of Ireland and Empress of
Canada. This new history of the shipping side of Canadian Pacific
includes a wealth of illustrations and a detailed fleet list that
will enthral maritime enthusiasts.
