When two young men, Leon Edwards and Eliot Nelson, are the fatally injured victims of a double shooting in the early hours of Sunday morning in the car park at the rear of the Rose and Crown in Leeds, no one seems to know the reason why. Or they are unwilling to say. DCI Kate Peace, career woman and divorcee suspects that it is a drugs deal which has gone wrong and the two young men have either tried to do a double deal, or just got out of their depth, but it's not to be so simple. Aided by her trusty team of Detective Sergeant George Offord, an experienced plodder, who is nearing retirement, and the snappily dressed Detective Sergeant Phil Simpson, single, cute and with hots for his boss, Kate is on a trail which leads her from the drugs and club land scene of inner city West Yorkshire to the Mediterranean coast of France and back before she finds the perpetrator.

Sisypuss: Memoirs of a Vagabond Cat by Patricia Hallof

Sisypuss, a feline optimist and true believer in luck (though most of his is bad), reminisces about the homeless journey through truths and lies, danger and safety, love and enmity, made with his skeptical brother Bob and an odd assortment of characters met along the way. Three paws in the grave, Sisypuss interweaves memories and his present life as Booley's cat companion with Booley's seriocomic troubles with drugs (he enrolls in clinical trials as a work alternative), faithless women, and poetry editors. Sisypuss tells how, among other things, he and Bob survive an animal shelter, a research lab which wrecks their health, a loved guardian's death, a godforsaken wood where his try at love with a feline heartbreaker leaves him singing the castrato blues, and, finally, the overwhelming event leading him to Booley.

Old West Tales - Good Men, Bad Men, Lawmen by C. R. Caldwell

In this book the reader gets a glimpse of life in the old west. The characters are not from the list of usual suspects, most of whom have been written about ad nauseam. They are the folks who made up the real old west. The town marshals, sheriffs and outlaws who were not famous enough to make it to the silver screen. The inspiration for most of the stories came from the real life history of these characters. Some real people, some fictional. Some lived at the time, and in the places where these stories take place. Some did not. Some are almost entirely fictional. They will make you laugh, cry, and experience every emotion in between. All are all exciting and entertaining. This book is written by Clifford Caldwell, author and collector of cowboy memorabilia, and is wonderfully illustrated by Nora Jewell Allen. Both Cliff Caldwell and Nora Jewell Allen reside in the Hill Country of Texas, near San Antonio.
