Felix Milne is a London psychoanalyst whose clientele usually consists of bed-wetting children, mousy typists with secret pasts and affluent middle-aged women who are bored with their husbands. But then along comes Adam Lucian, a former Spitfire pilot who has recently tried to murder his wife Molly. With the aid of a narcotic drug, Milne forces Lucian to relive his brutal treatment at the hands of the Japanese during World War Two. Feeling much better having done so, and convinced that he is now 'cured', Lucian refuses any further analysis. Reluctantly, Milne lets his patient go, only to receive a telephone call the next day informing him that Lucian has shot Molly and gone on the run...

Public services have been at the frontline of the response to COVID-19 and, despite the extraordinary efforts of staff, most services have struggled. This book evaluates the impact of COVID-19 on the UK health and social care sector, paying particular attention to widening social inequalities. It explores the strengths and weaknesses of UK public services’ response to the pandemic, outlining how eroded resilience and reduced trust in leadership have influenced the sectors’ ability to deliver. The book outlines recommendations for policy reform in the aftermath of the pandemic, including suggestions for an increased focus on decentralised governance and leadership.
The Stone Age monuments at Avebury in Wiltshire are world-famous, attracting thousands of visitors each year. Two of the most dramatic are the enormous burial chamber known as the West Kennet Long Barrow, and Silbury Hill, the largest man-made mound in Europe. Less well known is Silbury's 'sister' mound at Marlborough a few miles due east, but this is nothing less than the legendary burial place of Merlin. These extraordinary sites are the key locations of the novel 'Merlin's Mound', in which an adolescent is awakened in startling fashion to their meaning and original purpose. It will appeal to everyone from the protagonist's age upward with a taste for myth, legend and visions.
Executives are under enormous pressure to meet stakeholder expectations regarding the prevention of fraud and corruption. However, the drive to demonstrate that they are complying with legislative requirements and high principles has, in many cases, overshadowed the need to deal with the problem itself. As a result, fraud and corruption remain a significant unmanaged source of risk for many organizations. Drawing on experiences across Europe, America and Australia, Iyer and Samociuk give you the tools to establish an effective and far-reaching anti-fraud and corruption programme. Included is a compendium of techniques for assessing the true risk of fraud and corruption, reducing those risks and using health checks to provide early warnings. Also included is The Tightrope, A Story of Fraud and Corruption...which takes the reader from first suspicions through crisis and finally recovery in a vivid and instructive style, covering the lessons in the main text. This new book is a must-read for all those responsible for the prevention of fraud and corruption, risk management, corporate compliance, corporate responsibility and governance.

Who do you think you are kidding, Mr Hitler? What if, in the summer of 1940, Nazi Germany had invaded the United Kingdom? Nearly eighty years on, images of swastikas on Whitehall still resonate and horrify in the popular imagination. But what would that invasion look like, even if it were doomed to fail? What sacrifices would occupation mean for the people of Britain, and what might be the lasting cultural effects of collaboration? In this collection of stories, the authors of Sea Lion Press explore some of the many 'might have beens' of the infamous Operation Sea Lion.
