Murder on Ynys Môn
In the early hours of Good Friday, April 2019, Gerald Corrigan was shot with a crossbow outside his home on Anglesey. The attack proved fatal. The murderer was caught and convicted, but there remain many unanswered questions. The most perplexing being: why? Journalist Siôn Tecwyn covered the case at the time. Working with Meic Parry, producer of 'The Crossbow Killer' podcast, he explores the events leading up to the murder and the subsequent investigation. Including unseen content and additional insight from the trial as well as unreported facts about the case which take the story further, Murder on Ynys Môn highlights the complexity of this dark and shocking mystery. With photographs by Robert Law and Andrew Price, and poetry by Rhys Iorwerth. "A forensic unravelling of one of the most barbaric and senseless murders in the annals of Welsh crime..." – Ceri Jackson, creator of 'Shreds' podcast and author of The Boy from Tiger Bay
Manchester of the East
Kanpur was a tiny hamlet until the railways arrived in India, and later a British garrison. The bloody events during the 1857 War of Independence led to a clampdown on the city, and under rigorous British supervision, industry began. The wars that Britain was fighting in South Africa, Russia and Afghanistan furthered the development of Kanpur into a hub of supply for the best military boots and other leather goods. Mills were set up and by 1900s, Kanpur became synonymous with high-quality products and top-of-the-class mills. Both Indians and Europeans were responsible for this transformation of a tiny dot on the map of the Indian subcontinent into the world's best supply-centre for leather, cotton, jute and other materials. In this rivetting account of the transformation of a hamlet into what became known as the Manchester of the East, Suraj Prasad Mehra describes the evolution of the city over two hundred years from the 1800s. He introduces us to events and incidents as well as individuals and governments that were responsible for making Kanpur what it eventually became and what it is today.
Good Luck, Jenny Bourke
Jenny Bourke is disheartened with the sorry state of potential boyfriends in her small home town in the west of Ireland. She decides to take drastic action and moves to London for a year to see what life can throw at her in the form of the male species, not realising that her stuck-in-a-rut life is just about to be detonated. Leaving behind her demented Mother (the local Mayor) who thinks London has nothing to offer but pigeons, playboys and terrorists, Jenny embarks on a journey that reveals the personality and talents that she never knew existed, and has lots of fun in the process. But, she has her work cut out for her. Not only does she have to fend off the competition for a new job in the cut-throat media world, she also has to wade through the swamp of ‘387,500’ single men to unearth a decent boyfriend. Among her eccentric Uncle’s new business venture, a paranoid cousin, a lunatic new house mate, an ex-boyfriend who won’t vacate her thoughts and a plethora of new yummy work colleagues (one in particular), she must have her wits about her for the London adventure. Well, a girl can take a chance, can’t she?
