Ashes and Bones: An Emma Fielding Mystery

SUMMARY: Just when everything is going beautifully for archaeologist Emma Fielding -- a position at a respected university, a beautiful home in New England, and the warm love of a devoted husband -- her world starts to crumble. What begins as a series of seemingly innocent gestures -- the anonymous delivery of gifts and flowers to Emma's family and friends -- soon progresses to secret, sadistic acts designed to destroy her reputation, her character, and her career. Someone has instituted a brilliantly insidious campaign of personal terror against Emma Fielding, and she is certain she knows who it is: a cunning and dangerous enemy whom everyone but she believes is dead. But with no proof, no clues, and no allies, Emma will have to fight alone in the dark to rescue a life being rapidly reduced to ashes . . . if she can survive long enough to do so.

Hotel Kerobokan

HOTEL KEROBOKAN is the shocking inside story of the most brutal, corrupt & truly bizzare jail in the world - situated right in the heart of the holiday mecca, Bali. The jail's graying walls touch paradise. Step outside and it's sun-kissed beaches, five star restaurants & luxury hotels. Step inside - and it's hell on earth. This book, written by an Australian journalist with unprecedented access to inside, paints a graphic picture of life in the jail and is not for the faint-hearted. It flirts with dark comedy, but is thick with tragic and shocking stories of tourists and international drug traffickers checked in to Hotel K. It's a place that's been home to Gordon Ramsay’s drug addict brother, Ronnie Ramsay, Bali King Cok Pemecutan, Australian beauty school student Schapelle Corby, the Bali Nine, English ecstasy dealer Steve Turner as well as unlucky tourists and surfers from across the globe. JOURNALIST Kathryn Bonella spent a year in Bali, entering the jail every day for months to co-write Schapelle Corby's bestselling 2006 autobiography NO MORE TOMORROWS. Now after hundreds of interviews and two more years of investigation she's telling the incredible story of the jail itself. Backed up by hundreds of interviews with prisoners past and present, as well as jail guards, the truth about HOTEL K explodes off every page.

The Complaints

'Mustn't complain' - but people always do... Nobody likes The Complaints - they're the cops who investigate other cops. Complaints and Conduct Department, to give them their full title, but known colloquially as 'The Dark Side', or simply 'The Complaints'. It's where Malcolm Fox works. He's just had a result, and should be feeling good about himself. But he's a man with problems of his own. He has an increasingly frail father in a care home and a sister who persists in an abusive relationship - something which Malcolm cannot seem to do anything about. But, in the midst of an aggressive Edinburgh winter, the reluctant Fox is given a new task. There's a cop called Jamie Breck, and he's dirty. The problem is, no one can prove it. But as Fox takes on the job, he learns that there's more to Breck than anyone thinks. This knowledge will prove dangerous, especially when a vicious murder intervenes far too close to home for Fox's liking.
