London, 1968: The body of a teenage girl is found just steps away
from the Beatles' Abbey Road recording studio.
The police are called to a residential street in St John's Wood
where an unidentified young woman has been strangled. Detective
Sergeant Cathal Breen believes she may be one of the many Beatles
fans who regularly camp outside Abbey Road Studios. With his
reputation tarnished by an inexplicable act of cowardice, this is
Breen's last chance to prove he's up to the job.
Breen is of the generation for whom reaching adulthood meant
turning into one's parents and accepting one's place in the world.
But the world around him is changing beyond recognition. Nothing
illustrates the shift more than Helen Tozer, a brazen and
rambunctious young policewoman assisting him with the case.
Together they navigate a world on edge, where conservative
tradition gives way to frightening new freedoms--and troubling new
crimes.
Combining engaging discussions and stimulating case studies,
BUSINESS ETHICS: A TEXTBOOK WITH CASES, International Edition
brings you a comprehensive survey of business ethics that will
guide you toward becoming an ethical professional, even if you have

BUSINESS ETHICS: A TEXTBOOK WITH CASES, International Edition
invites you to critically analyze and apply a broad range of
philosophical concepts and principles to today's most important

'William Shaw is one of the great rising talents of UK crime
fiction. This is his best book to date' Peter James 'Taut,
terrifying and timely' Val McDermid 'William Shaw is a superb
storyteller' Peter May SHE ALWAYS WENT TOO FAR DS Alexandra Cupidi
has done it again. She should have learnt to keep her big mouth
shut, after the scandal that sent her packing - resentful teenager
in tow - from the London Met to the lonely Kent coastline. Murder
is different here, among the fens and stark beaches. SHE WAS THE
ONE WHO FOUND THE KILLERS The man drowned in the slurry pit had
been herded there like an animal. He was North African, like many
of the fruit pickers that work the fields. The more Cupidi
discovers, the more she wants to ask - but these people are
suspicious of questions. AND NOW IT WAS KILLING HER It will take an
understanding of this strange place - its old ways and new crimes -
to uncover the dark conspiracy behind the murder. Cupidi is not
afraid to travel that road. But she should be. She should, by now,
have learnt. Salt Lane is the first in the new DS Alexandra Cupidi
series. With his trademark characterisation and flair for social
commentary, William Shaw has crafted a crime novel for our time
that grips you, mind and heart.
This book offers a detailed utilitarian analysis of the ethical
issues involved in war. Utilitarianism and the Ethics of War
addresses the two basic ethical questions posed by war: when, if
ever, are we morally justified in waging war, and if recourse to
arms is warranted, how are we permitted to fight the wars we wage?
In addition, it deals with the challenge that realism and
relativism raise for the ethical discussion of war, and with the
duties of military personnel and the moral challenges they can
face. In tackling these matters, the book covers a wide range of
topics-from pacifism to armed humanitarian intervention, from the
right of national defense to pre-emptive or preventive war, from
civilian immunity to the tenets of just war theory and the moral
underpinnings of the rules of war. But, what is distinctive about
this book is that it provides a consistent and thorough-going
utilitarian or consequentialist treatment of the fundamental
normative issues that war occasions. Although it goes against the
tide of recent work in the field, a utilitarian approach to the
ethics of war illuminates old questions in new ways by showing how
a concern for well-being and the consequences of our actions and
policies shape the moral constraints to which states and other
actors must adhere. This book will be of much interest to students
of the ethics of war, just war theory, moral philosophy, war and
conflict studies and IR.

William South has always avoided investigating murder. A passionate

that way. But when his only friend is found brutally beaten,
South's detachment is tested. Not only is he bereft - it seems that
