Two Kinds of Truth Michael Connelly Two Kinds of Truth Michael Connelly The 20th Bosch novel: Harry Bosch searches for the truth as an old case from his LAPD days comes back to haunt him in this gripping thriller from mega-bestseller Michael Connelly. Description Harry Bosch is back as a volunteer working cold cases for the San Fernando police and is called out to a local drug store where a young pharmacist has been murdered. Bosch and the town's three-person detective squad sift through the clues, which lead into the dangerous, big business world of pill production and prescription drug abuse. Meanwhile, an old case from Bosch's LAPD days comes back to haunt him when a long-imprisoned killer claims Harry framed him, and seems to have new evidence to prove it. Bosch left the LAPD on bad terms, so his former colleagues aren't keen to protect his reputation. He must fend for himself in clearing his name and keeping a clever killer in prison. The two unrelated cases wind around each other like strands of barbed wire. Along the way Bosch discovers that there are two kinds of truth: the kind that sets you free and the kind that leaves you buried in darkness.

Michael Connelly A Darkness More Than Night Michael Connelly LAPD Detective Harry Bosch crosses paths with FBI profiler Terry McCaleb in the most dangerous investigation of their lives. Description Harry Bosch is up to his neck in a case that has transfixed all of celebrity-mad Los Angeles: a movie director is charged with murdering an actress during sex, and then staging her death to make it look like a suicide. Bosch is both the arresting officer and the star witness in a trial that has brought the Hollywood media pack out in full-throated frenzy. Meanwhile, Terry McCaleb is enjoying an idyllic retirement on Catalina Island when a visit from an old colleague brings his former world rushing back. It's a murder, the unreadable kind of murder he specialised in solving back in his FBI days. The investigation has stalled, and the sheriff's office is asking McCaleb to take a quick look at the murder book to see if he turns up something they've missed. McCaleb's first reading of the crime scene leads him to look for a methodical killer with a taste for rituals and revenge. As his quick look accelerates into a full-sprint investigation, the two crimes - his murdered loner and Bosch's movie director - begin to overlap strangely. With one unsettling revelation after another, they merge, becoming one impossible, terrifying case, involving almost inconceivable calculation. McCaleb believes he has unmasked the most frightening killer ever to cross his sights. But his investigation tangles with Bosch's lines, and the two men find themselves at odds in the most dangerous investigation of their lives.

But before Harry can close in, he gets the word that his young daughter Maddie, who lives in Hong Kong with her mother, is missing.

  • NEWSLETTER No
    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Frank Bailey Shaun Udal NEWSLETTER No. 307 - MARCH 2011 MEETINGS Wednesday 9 March 2011 – Meeting The speaker for this evening will be Geoff Cook who has enjoyed two distinct careers. The first was as a highly accomplished opening batsman for Northamptonshire who gained Test recognition. The second, of course, has been that of a highly influential figure in Durham‟s latent irresistible rise. GEOFFREY COOK was born in Middlesbrough, Yorkshire, on 9 October 1951. Educated at Middlesbrough High School, he became one of a number of men from the North East to migrate south to play county cricket. Those who played for Northamptonshire included Colin Milburn and Peter Willey. He made his Northants debut in 1971 and received his county cap in 1975, when he passed 1,000 runs in a season for the first time. He was to reach that landmark on twelve occasions, his best summer being 1981 – his first year as county captain – when he scored 1759 runs (avge. 43.97). He was chosen for the England tour to India and Sri Lanka in the following winter. Typically cultured centuries at Indore and Kandy took him into the England team for the inaugural Test against Sri Lanka at Colombo – an auspicious occasion on which to make a Test debut. He retained his place for the three Tests against India in the ensuing summer, making 66 at Old Trafford, during which he shared an opening stand of 106 with Chris Tavare, and 50 at The Oval. However, he then lost his place for the three Test series against Pakistan, as England experimented with Derek Randall in an opening batsman‟s role.

  • 321 – November 2012
    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Frank Bailey Shaun Udal NEWSLETTER No. 321 – NOVEMBER 2012 Wednesday 14 November 2012 – Meeting The Society is delighted to welcome Richard Scott to this evening’s meeting. Though his career with Hampshire was a brief one, he was one of the most popular players to appear for the County. He was a rarity, joining the staff after eye-catching performances in club cricket and for Dorset in Minor Counties cricket. RICHARD JAMES SCOTT was born in Bournemouth (which was then in Hampshire) on 2 November 1963. He made his debut for both Dorset and Hampshire 2nd XI in 1981, but was not taken onto the County staff until 1985. An aggressive left-handed opening batsman he played his first match for Hampshire at Lord’s in the Sunday League the following season. Little could he have known that he would become such an influential figure at Middlesex some twenty-five years later. The start to his first-class career in 1988 was somewhat traumatic, as he failed to get off the mark in his first three championship innings. However, he was not the first batsman, or the last, to struggle against John Lever or Devon Malcolm. However, 58 against Sussex at Eastbourne in his third match saw him on his way and three weeks later he recorded his maiden century with 107 not out against the Sri Lankans at Southampton. His most famous innings for the County, however, was a sensational Sunday League hundred against Yorkshire at Northlands Road in 1989. As Hampshire chased 180 for victory, he came to the wicket after three wickets had fallen for only 24 runs.

    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Frank Bailey Shaun Udal NEWSLETTER No. 296 – JANUARY 2010 MEETINGS Wednesday 6 January 2010 – Meeting Tonight‟s speaker is KEITH BOOTH, author and Surrey‟s scorer. This is his second visit to the Society, the first being in February 2001 when he spoke on the errant 19th century Surrey wicket-keeper Edward Pooley. Born in Barnsley and educated at Guisborough Grammar School, he worked for the first part of his life in retailing and university administration. He took early retirement in 1992 whereupon he embarked on a successful career in his pursuance of his love of cricket. He first scored for Middlesex and MCC, and for Test Match Special in the West Indies in 1993-94, before becoming Surrey‟s scorer in 1995. He has also scored Test Matches and international Limited Overs Matches (including Twenty20). He has also been a leading advocate on improving the status of scorers. Our speaker has also written a history of cricket scoring, biographies of Michael Atherton and former Surrey stalwarts, Ted Pooley, George Lohmann and Ernie Hayes, as well as a biography of the pioneering cricket and football administrator, C.W. Alcock. The latter was a man well ahead of his time. His book on Lohmann won the Cricket Society‟s Book of the Year award for 2008. The Society extends a very warm welcome to Keith Booth to this evening‟s meeting.

  • 313 – December 2011
    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Frank Bailey Shaun Udal NEWSLETTER No. 313 – DECEMBER 2011 Wednesday 7 December 2011 – Meeting The Society is honoured to welcome Nick Pocock, Hampshire’s current President, to our Annual Dinner. He was, of course, the County’s captain from 1980 – 1985. His record was an enviable one. Hampshire’s third place Championship finishes in 1982 and 1983 were bettered at the time only by sides captained by Colin Ingleby-Mackenzie and Richard Gilliat. His first season could hardly have been more disastrous. He inherited a largely inexperienced side whose strength was further diminished by the absence of Gordon Greenidge and Malcolm Marshall on West Indian tour duty. Consequently Hampshire won only one Championship match and finished at the foot of the table for the first time since 1905. However, as Tony Mitchener wrote in the Newsletter of December 1980, he never dwelt on disappointments and always remained ‘approachable, philosophical and optimistic.’ These qualities started to bear fruit the following season. With Greenidge back in harness and Marshall beginning to realise his potential, Hampshire were not defeated until mid-July when Sylvester Clarke decimated them, in more senses than one, at Portsmouth. He broke our speaker’s hand and he played in only three more matches in the season. Nevertheless, the County’s rise to seventh place in the Championship represented a distinct improvement. The next two seasons were memorable. In 1982 Malcolm Marshall and Kevin Emery carried virtually all before them and aided by consistent batting, notably by Trevor Jesty, Hampshire rose to third place.
