Roy Grace, creation of the award-winning author Peter James, unearths a powerful criminal network in Find Them Dead. A Brighton gangster is on trial for conspiracy to murder, following the death of a rival crime family boss. As the jury file into Lewes Crown Court, twelve anonymous people selected randomly from fifty, there is one person sitting in the public gallery observing them with keen interest, and secretly filming them. Later, a group of the accused's henchmen sit around a table with the full personal details of each of the twelve jurors in front of them. They need to influence two of them - a jury can convict if directed on a 10-2 majority verdict but no less. But which two? When Roy Grace is called in to investigate a murder that has links to the accused and the trial, and the suspicion that an attempt has been made to intimidate jurors, he finds the reach and power of the accused's tentacles go higher than he had ever imagined.

This book is for the millions of people who bought or listened online to Christopher Hitchens' book "God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything" and hundreds of millions of people worldwide who've witnessed a multitude of world-renowned intellectuals and religious leaders fail to combat the late and great Christopher Hitchens with any scriptural evidence.With Bible citations provided to support each assertion, author Peter James utilizes his 4-decade long study of biblical scripture and presents a genuinely authentic "why not let the Bible speak for itself" approach to answering the questions and accusations brought up by Christopher Hitchens in his book and debates. This book will evoke feelings that are not for the faint of heart and easily offended. Starting from the introduction, the author challenges his readers to open their bibles regardless of faith or lack thereof, to take on Christopher Hitchens with scriptural evidence rather than man-made interpretation and opinion. With the absence of a religious agenda, doctrine, and personal bias, "God Is Great: Bible Rebuttal to Christopher Hitchens" will leave you questioning everything you've ever known about religion, the bible, and god.

Vahva, ensikäden tietoihin perustuva kuvaus Brightonia järkyttäneistä murhista ja niiden selvittämisestä. Kirjoittajina kokenut rikostutkija Graham Bartlett ja bestsellerkirjailija Peter James.9.10.1986 yhdeksänvuotiaat brightonilaistytöt Nicola Fellows ja Karen Haddaway lähtivät ulos leikkimään. He eivät koskaan palanneet kotiin. Tyttöjen ruumiit löydettiin läheisestä metsästä.Epäilykset kohdistuivat pian irtolaiseen ja pikkurikolliseen Russell Bishopiin. Hänen ristiriitaiset kertomuksensa ja pitämätön alibinsa johtivat lopulta murhasyytteeseen.Seurannut oikeudenkäynti oli poliisin kannalta fiasko. Syyttäjän todisteet olivat hataria ja todistajat epäluotettavia. Kolmen viikon oikeuskäsittelyn päätteeksi Bishop käveli ulos vapaana miehenä.Kolme vuotta myöhemmin Graham Bartlett oli juuri aloittanut etsivänä Brightonin poliisissa, kun seitsenvuotias tyttö ilmoitettiin siepatuksi. Hänet löydettiin alastomana ja pahoinpideltynä mutta elossa. Kun Bishopin nimi nousi tapauksen tutkinnassa jälleen esiin, oli selvää, että historia oli ollut vähällä toistaa itseään. Tällä kertaa Bishop tuomittiin elinkautiseen.Metsään murhatut on todella koukuttavaa luettavaa, sillä tosielämän rikostutkinta ja oikeusdraama on kuvattu hyvin asiantuntevasti ja elävästi.Hyytävä tositarina tempaa lukijan mukaansa kuin dekkari.

This title was first published in 2003. This precise and well-structured book focuses on the mechanics (its evolution and the debates it generates) of the German electoral system. Briefly outlining the past German electoral systems and the influence they exerted on the political systems of the time, it differs from existing literature by being the first volume in the English language which gives in-depth treatment to local and regional electoral systems in Germany, as well as the federal system. Identifying the strengths and weaknesses of German electoral systems and their role and contribution within the party and political systems, it is particularly relevant at a time when other European countries' electoral systems are under review. Students and academics concerned with German politics in particular and German or European studies more generally, will find this book valuable.
