**Book One of the DS Lambert Series**Detective Sergeant Rachel Lambert had celebrated her promotion and was looking forward to a romantic anniversary weekend away with her husband, Nathan Lambert. The rustic wooden lodge in the Cotswolds had been booked months previously, her bags had been packed and despite the hangover she had woken up suffering with on the Saturday morning, the pair of them were going to enjoy the celebrations of their sixth year of married life.Nathan had brought her breakfast in bed, fuelled up the car to the brim and packed their overnight bags into the boot. Everything was ready. All she had left to do was to shower and apply her make-up and she would be ready.Everything quickly changed though, when barely out of the shower her mobile began to ring. The body of a 21-year-old student had been discovered by a dog walker on the grounds of Museum Gardens in the city centre and she had been assigned the lead on the case. The young woman had been strangled and her body dumped behind a bush.On paper DS Lambert quickly had a shortlist of suspects; the boyfriend, the boyfriends ex-girlfriend and another student who she had rejected just months previously. They all had motives, opportunity and the means to commit the murder. It appeared to be a murder of passion, but this was a weekend when plans went out of the window and in a sinister twist she found herself racing against the clock to catch the killer.
Catherine Henley is an agent for CSIS, Canadian Security Intelligence Services and operates under the guise of an attorney to the public. Her two life supports are Maggie O'Donnell, who owns her own real estate agency, and Ella Lewis, a Linguistic Professor at University of Toronto; three very productive professionals, who are each other's life lines and laugh lines. When a mutual friend finds her dead husband on her living room floor, she turns to Catherine for help. The homicide detective, Jeremy Slade, who takes the case becomes interested in Catherine the first time he sees her and suspects she is not a lawyer as she claims. When he finds out she is keeping evidence from him, she has to admit what her real job is as an agent with CSIS; and that she is currently tracking a terrorist in a city with over four million souls in it. After their cases collide, they join forces to bring down a terrorist and a killer and to find the one hundred million dollars that is missing before the terrorist does. Intrigue, suspense, murder, a kidnapping, and a plan to assassinate the Russian ambassador all happen to bring four people together to find love. After all, one hundred million dollars can buy a lot of love. Or hate.
In a busy café in Hove, a chance meeting brings Matthew and Catherine together for the first time. Matthew is retired and struggling in his quest to become a writer, while Catherine has had a successful career as an actress. Born in Brighton in 1947, Catherine was fascinated from an early age by film stars and yearned to be an actor. An advert in the local paper asked for two local teenage girls to be extras in a film being shot in Brighton. She auditioned and successfully got her chance. From that point on, her acting career blossomed. Catherine’s story fascinates Matthew, not only her film and television roles, but her relationships with her parents, the friendship with her two best friends, and the men she fell in love with throughout her life. From Brighton to London, to Dorset, and finally back to Brighton, covering over seventy years, Catherine is a thrilling story of fulfilling your dreams, friendships, love and loss.
Full text.William Makepeace Thackeray (1811-1863) is best remembered today for his 1848 novel Vanity Fair, and its scheming central character Becky Sharp. His first full-length work of fiction also featured an anti-heroine: Catherine first appeared in Fraser's Magazine between May 1839 and February 1840, and told the tale of Catherine Hayes: an 18th-century thief and murderer.In that February 1840 issue, shown here, Thackeray explains the objectives behind the novel. He is concerned about the portrayal of criminals in recent novels as rounded, human characters, and the consequent risk of glamourising their evil doings. Examples he cites include the Artful Dodger in Charles Dickens's (1812-1870) Oliver Twist, or William Harrison Ainsworth's (1805-1882) Jack Sheppard, a sensational portrayal of the 18th-century robber of that name. While praising the authors's prowess, he believes he has the moral high ground, by writing about criminals in a way that will 'cause the public to hate them'.

Catherine: A Story was the first full-length work of fiction produced by William Makepeace Thackeray. It first appeared in serialized installments in Fraser's Magazine between May 1839 and February 1840, credited to "Ikey Solomons, Esq. Junior." Thackeray's original intention in writing it was to criticize the Newgate school of crime fiction, exemplified by Bulwer-Lytton and Harrison Ainsworth, whose works Thackeray felt glorified criminals. Thackeray even included Dickens in this criticism for his portrayal of the good-hearted streetwalker Nancy and the charming pickpocket, the Artful Dodger, in Oliver Twist.
Totuus otsikoiden takaa - paljastava elämäkerta Britannian kuningashuoneesta.Kate Middletonin elämäntarina on kuin nykypäivän prinsessasatu. Miten Walesin prinsessa Catherinesta tuli se nainen, joka hän tänään on?Tavallisista oloista lähtöisin oleva älykäs ja kunnianhimoinen tyttö tapaa yliopistossa prinssin, joka aikanaan perii valtaistuimen. He rakastuvat, ja heidät vihitään vuonna 2011. Catherine ihastuttaa tarttuvalla hymyllään, tyylivarmuudellaan ja maanläheisyydellään. Catherinella on vankka työetiikka, hän on vaatimaton ja kykenee nauramaan itselleen. Lisäksi hän ja William ovat ihmisinä lämpimiä ja helposti lähestyttäviä. Kaikki nämä ansiot ovat tehneet tästä dynaamisesta parista kuningassuvun suosituimmat jäsenet. Vastaan on kuitenkin tullut myös ikäviä kommentteja ja paljastuksia - varsinkin Catherinen ja Williamin väleistä prinssi Harryyn ja Meghan Markleen, samoin kuin Catherinen sairastumisesta. Ison-Britannian monarkia käy tällä hetkellä läpi muutosta, ja ilmassa väreilee odotus siitä, että Walesin prinsessa Catherinesta tulee jonain päivänä kuningatar.Palkittu bestsellerkirjailija ja hovin kirjeenvaihtaja Robert Jobson tunnetaan tiiviistä suhteistaan Ison-Britannian kuningashuoneeseen. Tämän teoksen tavoitteena Jobsonilla oli selvittää kuninkaallisten lähipiirin kanssa käytyjen virallisten ja epävirallisten keskustelujen pohjalta, mikä on tehnyt Catherinesta sen naisen, joka hän tänään on.
