Book excerpt: Brimming with high stakes adventure, chilling mystery, and passionate romance, this collection of two novellas and eight short stories speaks to the emotions that make life fascinating. In the title story, "MacCloud's Secret," Angus Duncun MacCloud feels that he's taken advantage of a bereaved widow, and asks for her hand in marriage. But when she turns up dead, suspicion falls on MacCloud, and he must explain how someone broke into his home without anyone hearing or seeing anything. MacCloud guards his secret, as the authorities seek to uncover the truth. Other stories in this collection deal with the periphery of war. In "The Commander's Car," a prewar ensign is given a degrading order by the executive officer. But when he gets his revenge, the entire base celebrates. "Leilani" was a lovely Hawaiian girl who couldn't decide what soldier was worth loving, so she loved them all. Mark Cummings can't accept that and forty years later he returns to Hawaii hoping he'll find the woman who betrayed him-the woman he still loves. "A Fish Story" tells the tale of a Cold War fish that produces a special serum, which causes a worldwide sensation and becomes the biggest story since the launch of Sputnik. Can this creature save the world? Six other stories round out this collection of tales sure to ignite your imagination

Book excerpt: This work covers Scottish illicit distilling. It examines the historical events and legislation that gave rise to, and sustained, its boom years. During those times, the Scottish countryside, and even city centres, teemed with sma' stills and were awash with whiskey which had been distilled without payment of excise duty. It follows the fortunes of the illicit distillers as successive governments tried to prevent them from plying their trade, and chronicles its decline after the first quarter of the 19th century. Not that illicit distilling ever disappeared in Scotland, contrary to popular belief, and the recent past - and present - is far from neglected. Using a blend of formal documentation, apocryphal tales and oral history, this work focuses on the manufacture, transportation and eventual consumption of the product of Scotland's illicit stills. The important role played by women in illicit distilling is given due credit.

Book excerpt: For fans of Downton Abbey, this New York Times bestseller is the enthralling true story of family secrets and aristocratic intrigue in the days before WWI After the Ninth Duke of Rutland, one of the wealthiest men in Britain, died alone in a cramped room in the servants’ quarters of Belvoir Castle on April 21, 1940, his son and heir ordered the room, which contained the Rutland family archives, sealed. Sixty years later, Catherine Bailey became the first historian given access. What she discovered was a mystery: The Duke had painstakingly erased three periods of his life from all family records—but why? As Bailey uncovers the answers, she also provides an intimate portrait of the very top of British society in the turbulent days leading up to World War I.

A man who is grumpy, overweight, unfit, with knackered knees and high blood pressure. A man more likely to die than succeed. Over three weeks, Gooderham tells of his battle through the country. A light-hearted and jovial tale of one man's quest to beat his mid-life crisis. I Will Stand in my House Forever is the real story behind the fictional Ten Bodies, Two Bikes and a Boil. Much of the text is similar to the original, but includes the final two chapters of what actually happened. For those who don't want fiction - but want real life comedy - this is the book for you. I Will Stand in my House Forever is a must read for anyone who has already cycled, or is contemplating the challenge and includes daily maps, road and traffic conditions as well as the contour of the route.
