Where The Truth Was Buried
Thirty years after James Hamilton was forcibly migrated to New Zealand as an orphan child, an unexpected inheritance draws him back to Cornwall, where he stumbles on a long-dormant WW2 secret concealed in the shared memory of the small fishing village he once considered home. The mystery deepens when James begins clearing out the cottage he has inherited and uncovers a bundle of letters that suggest the cottage's owner, a retired lieutenant commander in the Royal Navy, participated in a clandestine operation that has remained suppressed in the village's core and has direct links to James’s true identity. Determined to uncover the truth about his past, James digs into the background and context of the letters he has found, and the results are more disturbing than he could have imagined. His attempts to unravel the past reveal a shadowy world of British Intelligence, the French Maquis, and Nazi sympathisers within Allied ranks. Against the backdrop of WWII exploits spanning North Africa and France, Where the Truth Was Buried is a story of divided loyalties and extreme courage. A tale of love, deceit, and sacrifice.

Evil Corporations
This book elaborates and interrogates the idea of evil corporations from a diverse range of disciplines. There has long been awareness of systemic harms inflicted by corporations, but this awareness has rarely led to any effective legal means to prevent and/or respond adequately to them.

Part of the problem, this book maintains, is the relative lack of theoretical interrogation into the nature of corporations as responsible, moral agents. To break this stasis, this book draws upon philosophies of wickedness in order to ask whether or not corporations are, or can be, evil. With c...
