The Cuckoo Wood, A Hollow Sky, and On Stony Ground

By: M. Sean Coleman

Three chilling mysteries in which a British police consultant must untangle cases involving faith, fear, and forensics . . . Dr. Alex Ripley, a skeptic of the supernatural and a believer in science, is nicknamed the Miracle Detective, brought in by the police for her insight on the strangest and most stubborn cases. This riveting collection includes the first three mysteries in the popular series: The Cuckoo Wood A spate of suicides—and stories of angel sightings—lead Ripley into the dark underbelly of an isolated English village filled with suspicion. There she must ascertain whether the locals are hallucinating or if something more sinister is leading these teenage girls to their deaths. A Hollow Sky On Holy Island, off the coast of North Wales, Ripley investigates a reputed faith healer on behalf of a grieving husband . . . On Stony Ground A note written in Latin left next to a priest’s body, followed by more murders with religious overtones, spurs Ripley to unite with a forensic investigator to hunt a killer—while also caring for her traumatized husband who’s just returned from Afghanistan . . .

On Stony Ground

By: M. Sean Coleman

A series of murders with religious overtones casts a pall of darkness, in this chilling mystery by the author of A Hollow Sky. Nulla est Redemptio: No rest for the wicked. The note was left next to the priest’s body. Dr Alex Ripley—known as the Miracle Detective—is going through a dark time herself as she cares for her badly traumatized husband, just returned home after a long period of brutal captivity in Afghanistan. But when murders keep occurring, and the victims all have some kind of religious connection, Ripley must reunite with her friend, forensic investigator Emma Drysdale, to face a killer with a sinister message. What Ripley discovers is that the killer's motive is far more personal than any of them thought. But what do these lost gospels, doom paintings, gods, and demons have to do with the deaths of three innocent people? And why is Ripley so important to the killer?

The Cuckoo Wood

By: M. Sean Coleman

A spate of suicides—and stories of angel sightings—lead a detective into the dark underbelly of an isolated English village . . . Samantha Jaynes ended her life in a cold lake. Now Rosie Trimble has done the same. Both claimed they had seen an angel. And they’re not the only ones. The series of teenage suicides is rattling the rural community of Kirkdale in England’s Lake District; is it collective hallucination—or is something more sinister leading these young girls to their deaths? That’s a question for Dr Alex Ripley, the so-called Miracle Detective. Brought in to help the police, she finds a community rooted in fear and suspicion, bound by their strange faith, unwilling to help, unable to forgive. The people of Kirkdale have buried their dark past before, and they’re not about to let Alex Ripley dig it up again . . .

A Couple of Things Before the End

Stories

By: Sean O'Beirne

This brilliant collection mixes the storytelling originality of George Saunders and Lydia Davis with a sensibility all its own, taking the reader on an extraordinary tour of an old and a new Australia. A woman on a passenger ship in 1958 gets involved with a young, wild Barry Humphries. A man looks back to the 1970s and his time as a member of Australia’s least competent scout troop. In 1988, a teenage boy recalls his sexual initiation, out on the tanbark. In 2015, two sisters text in Kmart about how to manage their irascible, isolated mum. Then, in the near future, a racist demagogue addresses the press the day after his electoral triumph. As the cities heat up and lose their water, a lady from one of the ‘better suburbs’ makes every effort to get her family into an exclusive gated community. Outstandingly original, bitingly satirical and written in a remarkable range of voices, A Couple of Things Before the End is a powerful vision of where we are – and where we may be headed. ‘These voices, so superbly heard and rendered, threw me into fits of laughter and slyly broke my heart.’ —Helen Garner ‘Astonishing ... an inventive collection of missives from the end of history. Complicated and savage and difficult and funny and melancholy, it’s both harsh and a caress. How do we speak and write into a future? I think Sean O’Beirne is showing us one way of doing it.’ —Christos Tsiolkas ‘O’Beirne inflects his identifiably Australian characters with a darkly comic and empathetic voice ... altogether, this collection invokes [our] questionable past, ironic present and disturbing future.’ —Books+Publishing

Plastic Capitalism

Banks, Credit Cards, and the End of Financial Control

By: Sean H. Vanatta

How bankers created the modern consumer credit economy and destroyed financial stability in the process American households are awash in expensive credit card debt. But where did all this debt come from? In this history of the rise of postwar American finance, Sean H. Vanatta shows how bankers created our credit card economy and, with it, the indebted nation we know today. America's consumer debt machine was not inevitable. In the years after World War II, state and federal regulations ensured that many Americans enjoyed safe banks and inexpensive credit. Bankers, though, grew restless amid restrictive rules that made profits scarce. They experimented with new services and new technologies. They settled on credit cards, and in the 1960s mailed out reams of high-interest plastic to build a debt industry from scratch. In the 1960s and '70s consumers fought back, using federal and state policy to make credit cards safer and more affordable. But bankers found ways to work around local rules. Beginning in 1980, Citibank and its peers relocated their card plans to South Dakota and Delaware, states with the weakest consumer regulations, creating "on-shore" financial havens and drawing consumers into an exploitative credit economy over which they had little control. We live in the world these bankers made.

James Joyce and Victims

Reading the Logic of Exclusion

By: Sean P. Murphy

In A Portrait and Ulysses, Joyce carefully disassembles the totality of civil society Dubliners inhabit to reveal the ways in which the church and state circumscribe citizens' imagination. The colonized, however, do possess power to deform cultural directives and to resist the roles in which colonizers cast them, but this power originates within logics which exclude and divide."--Jacket.
