The Evening Wolves

A Tale of Love, Murder, and World War Ii Spies

By: Kate Carter Gooch

they found...they found a dead body under the old hollow oak tree.' The scorched flour on the gas stove caught in Alcina's throat as she gasped. 'Under the oak where the nun was hanged? Who is it? Is it someone we know?' 'I...I think it was Lorena they found in the lane.' Sergeant Samuel Whitaker is unhappy sitting in a lonely hospital bed; he yearns to be at home with his wife and five children, whom he hasn't seen since he left for war. So Witty escapes from the hospital and takes a risky shortcut through the supposedly haunted Monk's Lane. He never reaches home, however, and soon his oldest daughter, Alcina, sets out to find out why. What follows is a dangerous journey full of intrigue and danger as Alcina discovers the news of her best friend's murder in the haunted lane. Convinced that the attacker couldn't have been her father, she begins a quest, complicated by a disastrous romantic liaison, to uncover the truth and keep her father's honour intact. The Evening Wolves is an exciting World War II murder mystery that will keep you enthralled and guessing until its dramatic conclusion. If Alcina and her family are to survive, they must come together, especially when they encounter the Evening Wolves—a network of Nazi spies who will stop at nothing to ensure that Hitler's plan to invade the British Isles succeeds.

Anthropology of Landscape

The Extraordinary in the Ordinary

By: Christopher Tilley,Kate Cameron-Daum

An Anthropology of Landscape tells the fascinating story of a heathland landscape in south-west England and the way different individuals and groups engage with it. Based on a long-term anthropological study, the book emphasises four individual themes: embodied identities, the landscape as a sensuous material form that is acted upon and in turn acts on people, the landscape as contested, and its relation to emotion. The landscape is discussed in relation to these themes as both ‘taskscape’ and ‘leisurescape’, and from the perspective of different user groups. First, those who manage the landscape and use it for work: conservationists, environmentalists, archaeologists, the Royal Marines, and quarrying interests. Second, those who use it in their leisure time: cyclists and horse riders, model aircraft flyers, walkers, people who fish there, and artists who are inspired by it. The book makes an innovative contribution to landscape studies and will appeal to all those interested in nature conservation, historic preservation, the politics of nature, the politics of identity, and an anthropology of Britain.
