The delightful new Kate Carpenter Mystery It's springtime in the city and the first festival of the summer is taking place. Amidst clowns and bands and face painters, Kate Carpenter and her friends are working for the Festival while enjoying the sunshine. But a serial killer is stalking the area, leaving the streets deserted at night and a wake of fear rippling across the city. After Kate has a huge fight with her boyfriend and is plagued by a member of the festival's staff she is supervising, she is terrified that one of the volunteers could be the serial killer. A missing child, a kidnapped woman and a dead body all convince Kate that her life is on the line. Surrounded by strangers, and not knowing who to believe, can Kate determine who she can trust before it is too late? And will she return to her boyfriend Cam or is there now another man in her life
Entering service during the Sino-Japanese War, the Nakajima B5N (code-named ‘Kate’) excelled and went on to achieve surprising and dramatic successes in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. It also contributed to the sinking of the US aircraft carriers USS Lexington at the Battle of the Coral Sea, USS Yorktown at the Battle of Midway, and USS Hornet at the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands. Its replacement, the Nakajima B6N ‘Jill’, while a marked improvement over its illustrious predecessor, was never able to achieve its full potential in combat due to advances in Allied aircraft, finding itself relegated to the dreaded Kamikaze strikes in the latter part of the war.Using previously unpublished photographs as well as colour illustrations, this book will cover the history of the ‘Kate’ and ‘Jill’ torpedo/attack bombers, including their design and development, as well as the combat highs and lows of the Imperial Japanese Navy’s premier torpedo-bombers.

Doc Holliday’s paramour Big Nose Kate could never get a publisher to give her the big bucks she demanded to tell the story of her life, but that didn’t mean she didn’t collect material she wanted to use in a biography. Over the fifty years Mary Kate Cummings, alias Big Nose Kate, traversed the West she saved letters from her family, musings she had written about her love interests, and life with the notorious John Henry Holliday. Using rare, never before published material Big Nose Kate stock-piled in anticipation of writing the tale of her days on the Wild Frontier, the definitive book about the famous soiled dove will finally be told. Kate claims to have witnessed the Gunfight at the OK Corral and exchanged words with the likes of Wyatt Earp and Josephine Marcs. There’s no doubt she embellished her adventures, but that doesn’t take away from their historical importance. She was a controversial figure in a rough and rowdy territory. What she witnessed, the lifestyle she led, and the influential western people she met are fascinating and represent a time period much romanticized.

Liz Farrell is still reeling over the murder of her mother almost a year earlier when she receives the startling news that she's inherited her estranged father, Leo Bauer's, sizable estate. Wanting nothing from her late father, Liz and her grandmother, Kate Stanton, reluctantly visit Leo's property in Benedict Canyon, hoping to find closure. Instead, they find a bunker hidden under an old hunting lodge that had been used by Leo at one time as a prison. Horrified by the discovery, Liz immediately orders the bunker filled and the lodge destroyed but the ensuing demolition quickly comes to a grinding halt after a man's remains are discovered in a shallow grave at the base of the old lodge. Once the press get wind of the gruesome discovery, rumors quickly surface, linking the remains to a murder spree that took place at the same address almost half a century earlier; a gruesome murder spree conveniently covered up by the governor at the time who also happened to be Leo Bauer's stepbrother. Liz and Kate's efforts to uncover the truth behind the murders are soon hampered by a cold-blooded killer whose intent on keeping the past buried - even if it means killing everyone standing in the way.
