A companion publication to Asset Management, International Case Studies in Asset Management will help companies and professionals develop and support the teaching and learning of best practices in this field. The book presents 32 case studies which illustrate how resistant asset management is to compartmentalised thinking and actions. They provide a means of communicating the importance of integrating different perspectives in order to choose between strategies and solutions. They are also an excellent tool for encouraging and trying out ideas and theories. International Case Studies in Asset Management is vital reading for people working in asset management roles who need the stimulus of new ideas, new ways of looking at things and evidence of what works. It will also be of use to students of asset management and the people who teach them.

The Unwanted Dead: Winner of the HWA Gold Crown for Best Historical Fiction (Detective Eddie Giral, 1)

Paris Requiem: A Novel

A gripping World War II murder mystery—and a beautifully drawn portrait of Paris under Nazi occupation—with compelling and conflicted hero Detective Eddie Giral at its heart.\nParis, 1940.\nAs the city adjusts to life under Nazi occupation, Detective Eddie Giral struggles to reconcile his job as a policeman with his new role enforcing a regime he cannot believe in, but must work under.\nHe's sacrificed so much in order to survive in this new world, but the past is not so easily forgotten. When an old friend—and an old flame—reappear, begging for his help, Eddie must decide how far he will go to help those he loves.\nThe notion of justice itself quickly becomes as dangerous, blurred, and confused as the war itself. And Eddie’s morale compass, ever on unreliable foundations, will be questioned again and again as the ravages of the German occupation steadily attempt to grind him—and the city he loves—into submission.\nNegotiating a path between resistance and collaboration, he can remain a good man and do nothing—or risk everything he has achieved in a desperate act of resistance.

City of Good Death (Catalan Crime Thrillers)

Be careful what you dig up... 
Still recovering from tragedy, Inspector Elisenda Domènech takes on a new case involving a body discovered on an archaeological dig. Seemingly executed as part of an ancient tribal ritual, it soon becomes clear that this body is no antiquity but the victim of a brutal murder from the 1980s. 
Uncovering the complex world of jealous archaeologists, vicious rivalries and missing persons, Elisenda battles the dark trade in illicit relics while never far from enemies of her own within the police force. 
But the murderer has unfinished work... 
The atmospheric second crime thriller featuring Catalan detective Elisenda Domènech, for readers of Val McDermid and Ann Cleeves. Praise for City of Buried Ghosts 
'A very well written and exciting murder mystery that does much more than just tickle your whodunit fancy... there are twists and turns all over the place. So many characters appear suspicious, and the final revelation of the murderer is a real surprise. This book works on so many levels and I fully recommend it' 5* Reader review 
'I loved the way the modern and the historical/mythic were inextricably entwined in the plot... Interesting characters, a rich sense of place and history, all tied together with masterful storytelling... I'm looking forward to the next in the series.' 5* Reader review 
'I found this crime debut a thoroughly enjoyable and interesting read. When you finish a book and feel like you've been on holiday, well, surely that's a very good thing indeed.' 5* Reader review 
'What a read! I immediately fell in love with Girona, its legends and Elisenda and her team. This fast-paced, complex novel had me from page one and I found myself unable to stop. The issues that the book raises call for a lot of self-questioning. How far would I agree with the actions of the killer? Could I ever agree? An absolute must-read.' 5* Reader review
