Heart of Danger, by Gerald Seymour.

In Now @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe, Pattaya..

1653054.jpg

Behind the lines lies unspeakable danger, the test of a lifetime. Behind the lines is a secret mass grave, the bodies of more victims of the pitiless atrocities convulsing the Balkans. 
But when the grave is uncovered by a dedicated American pathologist, a mystery emerges: the body of Dorrie Mowat, an outsider whose bravery in the face of death stands as a defiant symbol of human decency in a heartless world. 
Just who Dorrie was and what she was doing there reluctantly draws in Bill Penn, a former intelligence officer, now a private investigator. 
His need to redeem his own failed life, and the search for someone else's, lures him into a supreme gesture of reckless courage.

Henry Miller, Tropic of Capricorn.
 
In Now @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe, Pattaya.
tropic-of-capricorn.jpg
 
Forty years have passed since this was first published Henry Miller's landmark masterpiece, an act that would forever change the face of American literature.
Initially banned in America as obscene, Tropic of Cancer was first published in Paris in 1934.
Only a historic court ruling that changed American censorship standards permitted its publication.
Tropic of Cancer is now considered, as Norman Mailer said, "one of the ten or twenty great novels of our century". Also banned in America for almost thirty years, Tropic of Capricorn is now considered a cornerstone of modern literature.
 
Together, Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn are a lasting testament to one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century and his contribution not only to literature but to the cause of free speech.

Life of Pi by Yann Martel.
 
In Now @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe, Pattaya.
51xufiFRCtL._SX331_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg
 
The son of a zookeeper, Pi Patel has an encyclopedic knowledge of animal behavior and a fervent love of stories.
When Pi is sixteen, his family emigrates from India to North America aboard a Japanese cargo ship, along with their zoo animals bound for new homes.
 
The ship sinks. Pi finds himself alone in a lifeboat, his only companions a hyena, an orangutan, a wounded zebra, and Richard Parker, a 450-pound Bengal tiger.
Soon the tiger has dispatched all but Pi, whose fear, knowledge, and cunning allow him to coexist with Richard Parker for 227 days while lost at sea.
When they finally reach the coast of Mexico, Richard Parker flees to the Jungle, never to be seen again.
The Japanese authorities who interrogate Pi refuse to believe his story and press him to tell them "the truth." After hours of coercion, Pi tells a second story, a story much less fantastical, much more conventional but is it more true?

Cambodia: Year Zero, by François Ponchaud,
 
In Now @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe, Pattaya.
264730.jpg
 
On its publication in France, Cambodia: Year Zero received worldwide attention as the first detailed account of the 1975 Cambodian Communist revolution, one of the most brutal and least understood revolutions in history.
Jean Lacouture, reviewing the French edition in the New York Review of Books, hailed it as "by far the best informed report to appear on the new Cambodia."
Now, updated and with a new introductory note on the English translation, Cambodia: Year Zero remains the most authoritative source we have on contemporary Cambodia.
 
Its author, Francois Ponchaud, was a missionary in Cambodia from 1965 until he was forced to flee Phnom Penh in May, 1975, just before the total victory of the Khmer Rouge.
He observed at first hand the evacuation of the city and later amassed testimony from scores of Cambodian refugees in Thailand, Vietnam, and France.
Their accounts of the horrors they endured forced migration into the countryside, forced labor, starvation, disease, mass murder, separation of families are presented in their own words, along with official radio and print communiques from the revolutionary government of Cambodia.
 
Ponchaud traces the roots of the revolution in Cambodia's history including the role that the United States and other foreign powers played and presents portraits of the revolutionary leaders.
The shocking, close up view Ponchaud provides is of a nation that has shut itself off from the outside world and a government that has systematically destroyed its own people and their past.

Feast Day of Fools by James Lee Burke.
 
In Now @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe, Pattaya.
51KDMHQZiwL._SY344_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg
 
Danny Boy Lorca was used to having apocalyptic visions, the beatings he had taken in jail and the booze he drank to forget them made sure of that.
But what he saw and heard that night out in the desert was more terrifying than anything even his battered spirit could have conjured. A man tortured to death.
Slowly and methodically and with inhuman cruelty.
 
When Danny Boy tells his tale to Sheriff Hackberry Holland, Hack knows something evil has leaked over the border into his corner of South Texas.
What he doesn't realize is that this brutal slaying is just the beginning of a twisted three way manhunt that will pit a psychotic killer seeking release for the souls of his murdered children against a religious maniac in love with death, and a Russian gangster whose name is a byword for fear...

X Platoon by Steve Heaney MC & Damien Lewis.

61DDwogO6BL._SX325_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg
 
For three decades one of the most secretive units in the British military has been a mystery force known as X Platoon.
 
Officially there was no X Platoon.
The forty men in its elite number were specially selected from across the Armed Forces, at which point they simply ceased to exist.
X Platoon had no budget, no weapons, no vehicles and no kit apart from what its men could beg, borrow or steal from other military units.
 
For the first time a highly decorated veteran of this specialised force otherwise known as the Pathfinders - reveals its unique story.
Steve Heaney became one of the youngest ever to pass Selection, the gruelling trial of elite forces, and was at the cutting edge of X Platoon operations, serving on anti narcotics operations in the Central American jungles, on missions hunting war criminals in the Balkans, and being sent to spy on and wage war against the Russians.
 
The first non officer in the unit's history to be award the Military Cross, Steve Heaney reveals the extraordinary work undertaken by this secret band of brothers.

41xTHh2wpAL.jpg
 
Winter of the World picks up right where the first book left off, as its five interrelated families, American, German, Russian, English, Welsh, enter a time of enormous social, political, and economic turmoil, beginning with the rise of the Third Reich, through the Spanish Civil War and the great dramas of World War II, up to the explosions of the American and Soviet atomic bombs.
Carla von Ulrich, born of German and English parents, finds her life engulfed by the Nazi tide until she commits a deed of great courage and heartbreak.
American brothers Woody and Chuck Dewar, each with a secret, take separate paths to momentous events, one in Washington, the other in the bloody jungles of the Pacific.
English student Lloyd Williams discovers in the crucible of the Spanish Civil War that he must fight Communism just as hard as Fascism.
Daisy Peshkov, a driven American social climber, cares only for popularity and the fast set, until the war transforms her life, not just once but twice, while her cousin Volodya carves out a position in Soviet intelligence that will affect not only this war, but the war to come.
 
These characters and many others find their lives inextricably entangled as their experiences illuminate the cataclysms that marked the century.
From the drawing rooms of the rich to the blood and smoke of battle, their lives intertwine, propelling the reader into dramas of ever-increasing complexity.

Flight of the intruder became an instant classic.
No one before or since ever captured the world of Navy carrier pilots with the gripping realism of Vietnam veteran Stephen Coonts, who lived the life he wrote about.
More than a flying story, Flight of the intruder is also one of the best novels ever written about the Vietnam experience. It's all here the flying, the dying, the blood and bombs and bullets, and the sheer joy and terror of life at full throttle.

Journey Into Darkness by John E. Douglas & Mark Olshaker.
 
In Now @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe, Pattaya.
61YYoeHYNoL.jpg
 
In the " bestseller "Mindhunter," John Douglas, who headed the FBI's elite Investigative Support Unit, told the story of his brilliant and terrifying career tracking down some of the most heinous criminals in history.
Using behavioral profiling and criminal investigative analysis to get into the head and psyche of both the criminal and victim, to feel what they felt at the critical moment.
Douglas helped crack many high profile cases, including the Trailside Killer, the Atlanta child murders, and the Tylenol murders. Now, working again with his co author Mark Olshaker, Douglas delves further into the criminal mind with a series of chilling new cases in "Journey into Darkness" Follow the FBI's premier investigative profiler as he penetrates the minds and motives of the most terrifying serial killers.
In "Journey into Darkness," Douglas profiles vicious serial killers, rapists, and child molesters.
He is straightforward, blunt, often irreverent, and outspoken, but takes pains not to glorify any of these murderers. Some of the unique cases Douglas discusses include:
 
The Clairemont killer.
Six women were found stabbed to death in San Diego, three in the same apartment complex.
In each case, the killer entered through an unlocked door or window in the late morning to early afternoon.
A suspect was in custody, tied to one of the murders through a DNA match. Douglas was called upon to use his profiling techniques to link the other five murders to the suspect.
Douglas looked at the "signature" of the killer, and found that all the murders were committed by the same man.
The prosecution used the profile to force the jury to find the defendant guilty of all six murders, if they felt he was guilty of the one murder.
Celophus Prince was found guilty on all counts.
The schoolgirl murders.
What became Canada's "trial of the century."
Several schoolgirls disappeared in 1992; their bodies were dumped several weeks later, beaten and sexually attacked.
Canadian police agencies contacted the FBI for help on the case and to get a profile on the killer and, according to witnesses, his accomplice.
Following the advice of the Investigative Support Unit in Quantico, Canada aired a television special entitled "The Abduction of Kristin French," allowing agent Gregg McCrary to describe the killer's profile on air.
Knowing that the murderer and his accomplice would be watching, he planned to confront the unknown killer, assuring him he would be caught.
Paul Bernardo was arrested on February 17, 1993, turned in by his wife and partner in crime, Karla Leanne Homolka..
The profile was dead on the money.
 
Richmond's First Serial Murderer.
In 1987, Richmond, Virginia, was struck by a serial rapist/murderer. The Richmond police called upon the Investigative Support Unit in Quantico to make up a profile of the perpetrator.
The crimes and profile beared a remarkable resemblance to a string of burglaries, rapes and murders in Alexandria, Virginia, several years before.
Agent Steve Mardigian then formulated a complex strategy that caught the killer who fit the profile to a tee.
In the process he helped free a wrongly convicted man, who due to his low intelligence level, had become confused and confessed to the crime.
 
The brutal and sadistic murder of Suzanne Marie Collins, a beautiful young Marine on the verge of a brilliant career.
The culprit was caught and confessed to her killing, but his story was very different than what really happened. By delving into Sedley
He also explores the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, focusing on the double homicide purely from a behavioral perspective. Douglas examines what the facts at and surrounding the crime scene told about the killer from a behavioral point of view. From Douglas's profile, the only viable suspect to date is O.J. Simpson.
With "Journey into Darkness, " Douglas provides more than a glimpse into the minds of serial killers; he demonstrates what a powerful weapon behavioral science has become.
Profiling criminals helps not only to capture them, but also helps society understand how these predators work and what can be done to prevent them from striking again.
Douglas focuses especially on pedophiles and child abductors, fully explaining what drives them, and how to keep children away from them. As he points out, "The best way to protect your children is to know your enemy."
He includes eight rules for safety, a list of steps parents can take to prevent child abduction and exploitation, tips on how to detect sexual exploitation, basic rules of safety for children, and a chart, based on age, which details the safety skills children should have to protect themselves.
 
In his review for "Mindhunter" " Dean Koontz said, "Because of his insights and the power of the material, he leaves us shaken, gripped by a quiet grief for the innocent victims and anguished by the human condition."
Journey into Darkness continues this perilous trip into the psyche of the serial killer, but also offers a glimmer of hope that profiling may enable law enforcement to see the indicators of a serial killer's mind and intervene before he kills, or kills again.

Sarai wasn’t like the other go-go dancers.
She knew that a few thousand pounds a year would be enough to take care of her whole family, but Sarai wasn’t dancing just to send money home every month.
She had discovered that selling tickets for the illegal Thai Lottery was more dangerous than she could ever have imagined, and now she owed a great deal of money.
Thai Lottery is the story of the lengths a girl will go to when a debt becomes a matter of life and death, and of the westerners who have bought their own tickets to a more personal lottery.
They come to Thailand looking for something that's missing from their lives.
Some may be lucky but for a few the result will be utter despair.
Thai Lottery and twelve other short stories are contained in this intriguing debut work.
An insightful must read, whether you're a seasoned traveler to Thailand or embarking on your first trip to the Land of Smiles.

David Niven's The Moon's a Balloon is an account of one of the most remarkable lives Hollywood has ever seen.
Beginning with the tragic early loss of his aristocratic father, then regaling us with tales of school, army and wartime hi jinx, Niven shows how, even as an unknown young man, he knew how to live the good life.
But it is his astonishing stories of life in Hollywood and his accounts of working and partying with the legends of the silver screen Laurence Olivier, Vivien Leigh, Cary Grant, Elizabeth Taylor, James Stewart, Lauren Bacall, Marlene Dietrich, Noel Coward and dozens of others, while making some of the most acclaimed films of the last century, which turn David Niven's memoir into an outright masterpiece.
An intimate, gossipy, heartfelt and above all charming account of life inside Hollywood's dream factory, The Moon is a Balloon is a classic to be read and enjoyed time and again..
