Heart Breaker

It opens with a killing on a south Florida beach. Val Duran, an undercover cop, is forced to witness the murder of his partner, which has been arranged by a drug kingpin called Junior. In retaliation, Val kills two of Junior's men, but the score is far from settled. Val quits Florida fast and doesn't stop until he reaches Hollywood. He ends up doing stunt work in B movies, but his real life turns out to be much more hazardous. He's fallen hard for Kyle Abbott, a marine biologist with an attitude, a pedigree, and a take on nature ("survival is all about speed and cunning, camouflage and adaptability") that would have forewarned Val had she not completely disarmed his habitual protective paranoia. Which means that he doesn't see Junior coming until it's almost too late. The cast of edgy eccentrics, a breakneck pace and caustic humor, a seamless combination of the macabre and the eccentric, the raucous and the romantic--all these elements combine to make Heartbreaker the fiercest, most audacious novel we have had from Robert Ferrigno in years. Reader Bio: Robert Ferrigno is the author of four previous novels, including The Horse Latitudes. He lives with his family in the Pacific Northwest.

With the arrival of the privatised railway and the nature of railway operation, the delivery of a safe service to the customer got much more complex. In place of the unified nationalised network, more than 100 different companies were now involved in the day-to-day running of the railway network. These companies vary in scale from Network Rail, the state-controlled single company that owns the whole operational infrastructure, through the three companies that provide the rolling stock and the some 25 Train Operating Companies through to the myriad companies involved in freight, maintenance and other operational aspects.  This volume is a fully revised and enlarged version of 'abc Railway Operations' (originally published in 1999) in the format adopted for the later 'Principles of London Underground Operations' (published in 2000). Individual chapters deal with the organisation of the contemporary railway, the principles behind the safe operation of railways, track and signalling, passenger stations, passenger train operation, freight train operation, service provision and planning, safety and much else. There can be little doubt that the modern railway network - as bequeathed by the complex process of privatisation - is less straightforward than it was under British Rail; confusion abounds, both within the industry and amongst its customers (both passenger and freight), and objective information is all the more essential in these circumstances.  The industry itself recognises that knowledge of the principles of railway operation is essential to the industry and this is reflected both in the increased impetus that the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport and the newly-established Institute of Railway Operation give to training.

This is the standard work on the working Bedlington, by John Glover, a well-known figure in the working Bedlington terrier world who has played a major part in this type's recent resurgence. Over recent years two distinct types of Bedlington terrier have emerged, the show type and the working type. The true old-fashioned Bedlington was famed for its character and bottomless courage and was considered the ideal all-round working terrier. Certain breeders resisted the temptation to conform to fahion and kept the old type alive. In recent years their perserverance has been rewarded by a growing interest in this old-fashioned type of Bedlington. The book covers all aspects of choosing, keeping, breeding and working, as well as important information on the history of the breed and how the working type has been kept alive. There is also a chapter on the increasingly popular Bedlington lurcher.
