      DS Julie Kite's husband's new job takes her away from urban Manchester to a new life in tranquil mid-Wales. On her first day, Julie is thrust unexpectedly into the centre of a murder investigation in a remote farming community. At the same time, Stephen Collins is set free from HMP Strangeways. He immediately makes his way back to mid-Wales, the scene of his heinous crime, in order to confront those who had a hand in his incarceration. The twists and turns of the investigation into the death of a solicitor force DS Kite to confront her own demons alongside those of her community.

      Newly promoted DS Julie Kite has been in sleepy mid-Wales for mere months when she's faced with her second murder case. A man's body has been found by school kids trekking the Monk's Trod. The trail takes her back north to her parents in Manchester and to a housing estate in Blackpool. It's not a simple case - a young mother has disappeared, but so has her son and her next door neighbour's wife. And the husband of the landlady of the B&B where the girl was staying. When an exserviceman farmhand with PTSD attempts to take his own life the case gets more complex still.

      Umění nočního stíhání není jednoduché se naučit. Pilot a navigátor musí pracovat jako tým, musí myslet a jednat jako jeden muž. Úspěch i přežití závisí na umění obou. Squadron Leadera Lewise Brandona a jeho pilota Wing Commandera Jamese Gilliese Bensona spojila dohromady šťastná náhoda. Brandon byl tehdy naprosto nezkušeným navigátorem, jenž byl navíc ještě den předtím, než narukoval, oblečený v uniformě důstojníka gestapa! Oproti tomu byl ,,Ben'' Benson už Flying Officerem a zkušeným pilotem. Spojili se do osádky v říjnu 1941 a pokračovali spolu až do konce války. Stali se jednou z nejúspěšnějších spojeneckých nočních stíhacích osádek druhé světové války. Do konce války tato dvojice dokázala sestřelit devět nepřátelských letounů, tři další pravděpodobně, tři poškodit a navíc ještě poslala k zemi šest létajících pum V1. Oba získali také nezvyklou zkušenost, sloužili totiž postupně pod třemi velitelstvími RAF - stíhacím, pobřežním a bombardovacím. Jak Benson, tak Brandon, byli vyznamenáni DSO, DFC a barem.

    • The Chinese system is like no other known to man, now or in history. This book explains how the system works and where it may be moving. Drawing on Chinese and international sources, on extensive collaboration with Chinese scholars, and on the political science of state analysis, Stein Ringen concludes that under the new leadership of Xi Jinping, the system of government has been transformed into a new regime radically harder and more ideological than the legacy of Deng Xiaoping. China is less strong economically and more dictatorial politically than the world has wanted to believe. By analyzing the leadership of Xi Jinping, the meaning of "socialist market economy," corruption, the party-state apparatus, the reach of the party, the mechanisms of repression, taxation and public services, and state-society relations, "The Perfect Dictatorship" broadens the field of China studies, as well as the fields of political economy, comparative politics, development, and welfare state studies.
