So it's an unpleasant shock when he stumbles across a body on the rocks off Prawle Point. The case seems simple, if sad - the woman is identified as Edna Brown, a mousy London secretary whose hotel room contains a suicide note. But all is not as it seems. Someone is very keen to keep Peter quiet, and before long he realises that if he wants to stay safe, it is up to him to solve the mystery of Edna's real identity - and who would kill to keep her quiet. In this first Peter Blair mystery, master of 1970s crime J.R.L. Anderson spins an exhilarating yarn. Disguises and codes, drug smuggling and murder: Peter must use all his wits to make sure his first investigation is not also his last.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection explores the reception of dead rock stars, ‘rock’ being taken in the widest sense. When music artists die, their fellow musicians, producers, fans and the media react differently, and this book brings together their intertwining modalities of reception. The commercial impact of death on record sales, copyrights, and print media is considered, and the different justifications by living artists for being involved with the dead, through covers, sampling and tributes. The cultural representation of dead singers is investigated through obituaries, biographies and biopics. The book discusses the gendering of death and posthumous prestige, and the enduring appeal of the notion of ‘tragedy’ in popular music culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FBI agent Manny Tanno thought he had left his tribe and the Pine Ridge Reservation behind him years ago. But now with a cold case unearthed in the hot plains sun, he knows that the past never really goes away. In Badlands National Park, there is a desolate area the Lakota refer to as the Stronghold. General Custer called it hell on earth. During World War II, the Army Air Corps used it as a bombing range. At the end of the war, many unexploded ordnances were swallowed up in its sweltering sands. But that’s not all that’s buried there… Sixty-five years after the war, the Sioux tribe has contracted an ordnance removal company to defuse any remaining ammunition in the Stronghold. When the company finds a human arm near a live bomb, Tanno and the Tribal police are called to investigate. As the body is exhumed, two more are discovered. The remains are close together, but the murders were decades apart—and the story behind them is about to blow up…

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In May 1987, a successful SAS ambush resulted in the deaths of eight IRA terrorists in Loughgall. Aware that retaliation was certain, British intelligence went on the alert, and eventually established that the IRA had selected Gibraltar as being a 'soft' target and one identified with British imperialism. In November, the terrorism experts of Madrid's Servicios de Información informed British intelligence that two male members of the IRA had arrived in Southern Spain under false names. British intelligence assumed immediately that the two men were intending wither to murder some of the British residents on the Costa del Sol or to attack a British Army target on Gibraltar. The changing guard outside the Governor of Gibraltar's residence was judged to provide the most likely opportunity for such an attack. The most likely date was 8 March 1988, when the band parade ceremony of the 1st Battalion of the Royal Anglian Regiment was due to take place. For the next few months, British and Spanish intelligence services kept the two men under surveillance, waiting for them to travel from Spain to Gibraltar. In February, MI5 reported that an Irishwoman travelling under a false identity had repeatedly visited the rock and attended the guard ceremony. Now that there appeared to be little doubt about the target, the British government decided to send a hit team to Gibraltar to prevent the planned bombing, if necessary by killing the terrorists. The only men even considered for this dangerous operation were the legendary Special Air Service the SAS! Soldier R SAS: Death on Gibraltar tells the story of what was to become the most controversial of all SAS campaigns: a deadly cat-and-mouse game that called into play all the expertise and tenacity at the SAS team's disposal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The untimely deaths of Amy Winehouse (2011) and Whitney Houston (2012), and the ’resurrection’ of Tupac Shakur for a performance at the Coachella music festival in April 2012, have focused the media spotlight on the relationship between popular music, fame and death. If the phrase ’sex, drugs and rock’n’roll’ ever qualified a lifestyle, it has left many casualties in its wake, and with the ranks of dead musicians growing over time, so the types of death involved and the reactions to them have diversified. Conversely, as many artists who fronted the rock’n’roll revolution of the 1950s and 1960s continue to age, the idea of dying young and leaving a beautiful corpse (which gave rise, for instance, to the myth of the ’27 Club’) no longer carries the same resonance that it once might have done. This edited collection explores the reception of dead rock stars, ’rock’ being taken in the widest sense as the artists discussed belong to the genres of rock’n’roll (Elvis Presley), disco (Donna Summer), pop and pop-rock (Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Amy Winehouse), punk and post-punk (GG Allin, Ian Curtis), rap (Tupac Shakur), folk (the Dutchman André Hazes) and ’world’ music (Fela Kuti). When music artists die, their fellow musicians, producers, fans and the media react differently, and this book brings together their intertwining modalities of reception. The commercial impact of death on record sales, copyrights, and print media is considered, and the different justifications by living artists for being involved with the dead, through covers, sampling and tributes. The cultural representation of dead singers is investigated through obituaries, biographies and biopics, observing that posthumous fame provides coping mechanisms for fans, and consumers of popular culture more generally, to deal with the knowledge of their own mortality. Examining the contrasting ways in which male and female dead singers are portrayed in the media, the book

Book excerpt: In this definitive biography of Brian Jones, Laura Jackson - the first to insist that Jones was murdered and the first to identify his killer - rejects the stereotype of a narcissistic rock star who was doomed to self-destruct. Instead, she spoke to the people who knew him best: his family and friends, girlfriends and confidantes, the musicians and friends who lived and worked with him right up until his death in 1969. Jones emerges as a man of immense talent, energy and humour, but crippled by insecurities and shyness - a portrayal greatly at odds with the sordid rumours that plagued him throughout his life, which continue to this day. Jackson provides new testimony on the rivalries within the Rolling Stones and the bitter final split, together with telling details from the pathology and coroner's reports, to tell the story behind the headlines and get to the heart of the mysterious death of Brian Jones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bible of music's deceased idols—Jeff Buckley, Sid Vicious, Jimi Hendrix, Tupac, Elvis—this is the ultimate record of all those who arrived, rocked, and checked out over the last 40-odd years of fast cars, private jets, hard drugs, and reckless living. The truths behind thousands of fascinating stories—such as how Buddy Holly only decided to fly so he'd have time to finish his laundry—are coupled with perennial questions, including Which band boasts the most dead members? and Who had the bright idea of changing a light bulb while standing in the shower?, as well as a few tales of lesser-known rock tragedies. Updated to include all the rock deaths since the previous edition—including Ike Turner, Dan Fogelberg, Bo Diddley, Isaac Hayes, Eartha Kitt, Michael Jackson, Clarence Clemons, Amy Winehouse, and many, many more—this new edition has been comprehensively revised throughout. An indispensable reference full of useful and useless information, with hundreds of photos of the good, the bad, and the silly, this collection is guaranteed to rock the world of trivia buffs and diehards alike.
