Scrublands Chris Hammer
AUGUST 2018 Scrublands Chris Hammer Set in a fictional Riverina town at the height of a devastating drought, Scrublands is one of the most powerful, compelling and original crime novels to be written in Australia. Sales points • Set to be one of the biggest debuts of 2018 • A riveting and stunning addition to a burgeoning genre - the Small-Town Secrets Crime Thriller • A brilliant mix of page-turning plot, unforgettable characters, and an evocation of the Australian landscape that makes you feel the heat and taste the dust. • Major marketing campaign and big author tour • CATEGORY: Crime fiction Description In an isolated country town brought to its knees by endless drought, a charismatic and dedicated young priest calmly opens fire on his congregation, killing five parishioners before being shot dead himself. A year later, troubled journalist Martin Scarsden arrives in Riversend to write a feature on the anniversary of the tragedy. But the stories he hears from the locals about the priest and incidents leading up to the shooting don't fit with the accepted version of events his own newspaper reported in an award-winning investigation. Martin can't ignore his doubts, nor the urgings of some locals to unearth the real reason behind the priest's deadly rampage. Just as Martin believes he is making headway, a shocking new development rocks the town, which becomes the biggest story in Australia. The media descends on Riversend and Martin is now the one in the spotlight. His reasons for investigating the shooting have suddenly become very personal. Wrestling with his own demons, Martin finds himself risking everything to discover a truth that becomes darker and more complex with every twist. -
{PDF EPUB} Good Friday by Lynda La Plante Good Friday
Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Good Friday by Lynda La Plante Good Friday. During 1974 and 1975 the IRA subjected London to a terrifying bombing campaign. In one day alone, they planted seven bombs at locations across central London. Some were defused - some were not. Jane Tennison is now a fully-fledged detective. On the way to court one morning, Jane passes through Covent Garden Underground station and is caught up in a bomb blast that leaves several people dead, and many horribly injured. Jane is a key witness, but is adamant that she can't identify the bomber. When a photograph appears in the newspapers, showing Jane assisting the injured at the scene, it puts her and her family at risk from IRA retaliation. 'Good Friday' is the eagerly awaited date of the annual formal CID dinner, due to take place at St Ermin's Hotel. Hundreds of detectives and their wives will be there. It's the perfect target. As Jane arrives for the evening, she realises that she recognises the parking attendant as the bomber from Covent Garden. Can she convince her senior officers in time, or will another bomb destroy London's entire detective force? 'La Plante excels in her ability to pick out the surprising but plausible details that give her portrayal of everyday life in a police station a rare ring of authenticity' Sunday Telegraph Genre: Mystery. Chapter Five. Jane took the tube to New Scotland Yard. The underground was busy, everyone refusing to let yesterday’s explosion change their way of life. She was impressed by London’s resilience to the IRA attack. -
The Young Victoria Production Notes
THE YOUNG VICTORIA PRODUCTION NOTES GK Films Presents THE YOUNG VICTORIA Emily Blunt Rupert Friend Paul Bettany Miranda Richardson Jim Broadbent Thomas Kretschmann Mark Strong Jesper Christensen Harriet Walter Directed by Jean-Marc Vallée Screenplay By Julian Fellowes Produced by Graham King Martin Scorsese Tim Headington Sarah Ferguson, The Duchess of York 2 SHORT SYNOPSIS The Young Victoria chronicles Queen Victoria's ascension to the throne, focusing on the early turbulent years of her reign and her legendary romance and marriage to Prince Albert. SYNOPSIS 1837. VICTORIA (17) (Emily Blunt) is the object of a royal power struggle. Her uncle, KING WILLIAM (Jim Broadbent), is dying and Victoria is in line for the throne. Everyone is vying to win her favor. However Victoria is kept from the court by her overbearing mother, THE DUCHESS OF KENT (Miranda Richardson), and her ambitious advisor, CONROY (Mark Strong). Victoria hates them both. Her only friend is her doting governess, LEHZEN (Jeanette Hain), who is seemingly as untrustworthy as the rest. Victoria’s handsome cousin, ALBERT (Rupert Friend) is invited to visit by her mother. He's also the nephew of her Uncle, KING LEOPOLD OF BELGIUM (Thomas Kretschmann). It's obvious that Albert has been coached to win her hand. At first she's annoyed as she has no intention of being married. She never wants to be controlled again. However Albert is also tired of being manipulated by his relatives. Victoria and Albert talk openly and sincerely and become friends. When he returns home she grants him permission to write to her. -

Above Suspicion: the Red Dahlia
1 ABOVE SUSPICION: THE RED DAHLIA Above Suspicion: The Red Dahlia DC Anna Travis (Kelly Reilly) is back, reunited with the inimitable DCI James Langton (Ciarán Hinds), to face her most challenging and terrifying case yet. When the body of a young woman is discovered by the Thames, sadistically mutilated and drained of blood, it would seem an ominous re-enactment of the infamously unsolved murder, from 1940s Los Angeles, dubbed The Black Dahlia. The three part drama, Above Suspicion: The Red Dahlia, is adapted by Lynda La Plante from her successful second novel about rookie detective, Anna Travis. It is produced by La Plante Productions for ITV1. Kelly Reilly (He Kills Coppers, Joe’s Palace, Eden Lake, Mrs Henderson Presents) returns to the role of Anna Travis. Acclaimed actor Ciarán Hinds (There Will Be Blood, Margot at the Wedding, The Mayor of Casterbridge, Prime Suspect) stars as her boss, the volatile Detective Chief Inspector James Langton. They are joined by Shaun Dingwall as Detective Inspector Mike Lewis, Celyn Jones (First, Joe’s Palace, Grange Hill) as Detective Sergeant Paul Barolli, Michelle Holmes (Red Riding: 1980, The Chase, Merseybeat) as Detective Constable Barbara Maddox and Amanda Lawrence (Little Dorrit, Clone) as Detective Constable Joan Faukland. Guest stars in the new series include Simon Williams (Spooks, Sense and Sensibility), Sylvia Syms (Collision, The Queen), Holliday Grainger (Merlin, Demons), Edward Bennett (After You’re Gone, Silent Witness) and Hannah Murray (In Bruges, Skins) Director of Drama Laura Mackie says: “Above Suspicion was one of the highlights of the Winter Season on ITV1 and I’m delighted that Lynda is bringing Anna Travis back for another gripping investigation”. -

ISBN: 1 84457 034 7. 69 illustrations, 87pp. £8.99 A review by Brian Curtin, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand In 1995 the cultural critic and novelist Lawrence Chua wrote "The canon of Asian Pacific American filmmaking in this country is a library of victimization and self-deprecation". Writing of "dewy-eyed invocation of racial community", "the innocent construction of an essential Asian subject" and, with the example of Ang Lee's The Wedding Banquet (1993), the family and the nation as purportedly the only redemptive models of resistance being articulated, he provided a particularly savage indictment of how 'Asians' in the US represent and are represented ('The Postmodern Ethnic Brunch: Devouring Difference', Nayland Blake, Lawrence Rinder and Amy Scholder (eds.), In A Different Light: Visual Culture, Sexual Identity, Queer Practice, City Lights Books, 1995: 62). -
