Life should be good for Gina Gray. She has a job she loves, she is just about to move into a small but perfect flat in Bloomsbury and DCI David Scott has come back into her life. But a family crisis brings her daughter and son-in-law to share her flat and, in the rash of hate crimes that follow the Brexit referendum, a young Indian woman is strangled just doors away from Gina’s new home. David Scott wants Gina’s help with an investigation which takes her into the world of barristers’ chambers in Gray’s Inn, a production of Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure , and a clash with her difficult younger daughter. Meanwhile, her granddaughter, ten-year-old Freda, has been sent to stay with her grandfather and his second wife in their imposing and isolated house in the Kent countryside, where a missing dog gives her a mystery of her own to solve.

When the Moon was White - Jeff Probst - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

When the Moon was White - Jeff Probst - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Many stories have been written about the sixties, the decade of the Moon Race, and this literary novel, serious at its core but whimsical in its prose, takes a unique look at the fate of the moon during that decade. Samuel Thwaite is looking for a place to put his stamp on. He chooses Goodmews, a laid-back American town known for its bright moon, and persuades the residents to let him establish the world’s first Moon Centre. NASA funds the Centre, and while Goodmews thrives, Thwaite becomes obsessed with achieving something grander, that will last forever. He enlists a rogue NASA engineer, and together they develop a plan. They will use a moon rocket to spread paint over a giant crater so the moon will no longer look white. By chance, Banno, the Moon Centre guard, discovers the plan. He knows he should tell someone, but he has signed NASA’s oath of secrecy, and prides himself on keeping his word.

Noises After Dark - John Tomlinson - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Noises After Dark - John Tomlinson - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

“When I went to medical school, I never dreamt, that as a doctor, one day the biggest contribution I would make to people’s health, would be to hand out plastic sheets and blankets under armed guard.” Moved by the devastating media coverage of the humanitarian crisis in Ethiopia in 1985, John Tomlinson packed his bags to volunteer for the Save the Children Fund with the intent to help rebuild, and run, a small hospital in a Northern Somali town on the border with Ethiopia. However, faced with diminishing supplies, poorly trained staff and murmurs of civil unrest, the enormity of the task soon became clear. When the actions of a resentful colleague led to his wrongful imprisonment and the escalation of ongoing tribal conflicts drew ever closer, the safety of his staff and himself became increasingly compromised. Set in the context of a country that is not yet at peace, Noises After Dark offers first-hand experiences of historical events, and pays tribute to the unsung heroes working in conflict zones back then and today. Proving that humour and heart can still be found in the darkest of places, John’s memoir reveals the truth, both good and bad, behind the news stories and ultimately how his time there led to his realisation that health is not only about health care. With a Foreword by Bob Geldof.

The Mysteries of Ranipur - Krish Day - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Mysteries of Ranipur - Krish Day - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The small, dusty town of Ranipur, not distinguished for anything in particular, is shaken out of its somnolent pace by a series of apparently mysterious events. Trees bear fruit out of season; the teenage bride of the aged temple priest disappears without trace from a moving train. Twin sisters wake with heavy facial growth after gorging on a chicken dinner. A guard dog appears to have robbed the local branch of a bank. Bewildered and fearful, seeking the cause of the strange events, some take refuge in their faith, the anger of the gods, or simply the coming end of the world. The authorities, unable to offer a plausible explanation, merely declare the happenings intolerable. The Mysteries of Ranipur, the second part of Krish Day’s Indian trilogy, offers both entertainment and an underlying reflection on the persistence of superstition and the irrational, in an age dominated by science and technology. Flowing at a brisk pace through events farcical and whimsical, the narrative is peopled with a colourful cast: a police inspector, mild and modest, harassed by a querulous wife; a hormonal specialist who delights in altering the physical contours of his patients; a bank manager in flight from an overly lascivious wife; a decrepit merchant’s tragic attempt to impregnate his young wife by proxy; a holy man, expert in emptying pockets and seducing the innocent, overplaying his hand, to come to a sad end. Moving across a panorama comic, absurd and melancholy, unravelling the simpler mysteries of the natural world, the narrative gradually illuminates the greatest mystery of all: the human heart! The Mysteries of Ranipur is a beguiling and intriguing work, combining the contrasts and comedy of modern India, that will appeal to readers of cultural fiction. It will also be enjoyed by fans of Krish''s previous novels.
