For many residents of Western nations, COVID-19 was the first time they experienced the effects of an uncontrolled epidemic. This is in part due to a series of little-known regulations that have aimed to protect the global north from epidemic threats for the last two centuries, starting with International Sanitary Conferences in 1851 and culminating in the present with the International Health Regulations, which organize epidemic responses through the World Health Organization. Unlike other equity-focused global health initiatives, their mission--to establish "the maximum protections from infectious disease with the minimum effect on trade and traffic"--has remained the same since their founding. Using this as his starting point, Alexandre White reveals the Western capitalist interests, racism and xenophobia, and political power plays underpinning the regulatory efforts that came out of the project to manage the international spread of infectious disease. He examines how these regulations are formatted; how their framers conceive of epidemic spread; and the types of bodies and spaces it is suggested that these regulations map onto. Proposing a modified reinterpretation of Edward Said's concept of orientalism, White invites us to consider "epidemic orientalism" as a framework within which to explore the imperial and colonial roots of modern epidemic disease control.

When Craig Walters discovers his widowed mother is dying, he puts his dreams on hold and accepts a position at a small private bank in his hometown of Melbourne, Australia. For Craig, the steady income offers a chance to regroup. However, his indoctrination into the banking world quickly deteriorates when believing he's stumbled upon an elaborate fraud scheme. His covert digging into the bank's files for confirmation promptly sets off alarm bells that reverberate around the globe and unwittingly lays bare a more in-depth, sinister plot. Linking Melbourne with modern-day Irish politics, and the unlimited power and reach of the Vatican, an intricate web of corruption and unbridled greed is spun, that entwines all that come in contact. And whether to Turn a Blind Eye becomes a matter of life and death.

The picturesque city of York is rocked when the infamous hellraiser Billy Privett is found murdered in a town centre hotel -- his corpse brutally dissected, as if someone had performed a post mortem whilst he was still alive. Chillingly, the walls of the room bear words daubed in Billy's blood, including "Free" and "The Process is Coming Down." Billy's infamous reputation had been sealed a year previously, when a local university student had been found dead in mysterious circumstances at one of his debauched parties.

But when Amelia is drawn too close to the group whilst investigating Billy's death, it seems that these fervently religious cult members would do anything to protect their leader -- even sacrifice ...
