Two years later she has finally begun to pull her life back together and has started seeing fellow officer Mike Mcnally. They are the force's golden couple — both children of retired cops and highly competent officers in their own right. But this tentative happiness is shattered when a young prostitue is found brutally murdered, and Mcnally emerges as the prime suspect. Merci is the lead investigator on the case, and must do the unthinkable — epose and arrest her lover. With her world turned upside down, Merci has to balance her emotions against where the truth leads her. But the truth is taking her down some very strange alleyways — from present-day Orange Country to late sixties California, and the unsolved murder of another prostitute.

 Ghost Colonies (Lost and Found in History) - Ed Wright- 2009 - Paperback in nearly new condition. A litany of historical madness and disasters from the Vikings in Greenland and America to Friedrich Nietzsche’s Aryan supremacist sister in South America and finishing with the tragedy of Jim Jones and the Peoples’ Temple. The London Sunday Times wrote: “successful colonies are the stuff of schoolroom history: everyone knows about the Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth Rock and Captain Cook at Botany Bay. In this collection of 25 tales of colonies lost, burnt, abandoned or otherwise destroyed, Ed Wright proves that the murky history of colonial disaster is just as fascinating, and just as important.” The Brisbane Courier Mail wrote: “Ghost Colonies, written by established Pier 9 author Ed Wright, is the latest in a Lost and Found in History series to use the format, and is arguably the most interesting. From murderous Icelandic outcast Erik the Red’s Viking settlements in Greenland and his sons’ adventures in Arctic North America in 1000AD to the tragedy of Jonestown, Guyana, in 1978, this 320-page volume tells the story of 25 would-be utopias that failed to live up to the dream. They include a few of history’s better known colonial outpost failures, including the Scottish colony at Darien, Panama (1698-1700) and the failed utopian colonies of New Australia and Cosme in Paraguay at the end of the 19th century. For the most part, though, these are stories of more obscure colonial failures brought about by disease, ignorance, attacks by native people, political misfortune or other reasons. And Wright, who has researched his material thoroughly, tells them with a touch light enough to appeal to a wide readership. Australian readers will be interested in his detailed account of the rise and fall of the British colony at Victoria, Port Essington, on the north coast in what is now Arnhem Land. It fell prey to malaria and cyclones but not before explorer Ludwig Leichhardt stumbled into the settlement in late 1845 at the end of a 15-month overland journey from Moreton Bay that would make him famous. There’s mystery and tragedy in spades in this attractively designed book.

Zumanomics Revisited: The Road from Mangaung to 2030 In the light of global and domestic developments since 2009, Raymond Parsons now reassesses the economic prospects for SA post-Mangaung and following the 2014 general election.  While the 2009 publication was a collective effort with other contributors, this is an individual one. Many red lights are flashing for the economy and SA is struggling to avoid a low-growth trap.  What are the conditions for the success of the National Development Plans vision for 2030 and can it be translated into reality?  What will happen after the 2014 election?    Drawing on his considerable experience and analysis of SAs political economy, Professor Parsons redefines and updates  Zumanomics  in the light of these developments.  Will South Africa be able to move successfully to address the triple challenges of unemployment, poverty and inequality identified by President Zuma as the three greatest issues needing South Africas attention? How can the country improve its global competitiveness? How can SA best build on its strengths and address its weaknesses?
