Excavations at Cures College Burial Ground Park Street. 68 illustrations, 48 tables

This richly illustrated book presents the fascinating results from a major project to examine the heritage of Finzelâ??s Reach, the site of the former Courage and Bristol Breweries near the centre of one of Englandâ??s greatest port cities.

This report presents the results of archaeological investigations along the 17km-long Gloucester Security of Supply Water Pipeline in the vicinity of Tewkesbury. The archaeological mitigation works were commissioned by Severn Trent Water; following evaluation of the whole route, three sites were chosen for excavation, at Fiddington and Pamington in Gloucestershire and at Bredon’s Norton in Worcestershire. The site at Pamington revealed oval enclosures of mid-late Iron Age date, that at Fiddington elements of a rural settlement spanning all of the Roman period. At Bredon’s Norton the pipeline cut through a series of Iron Age and Roman settlement enclosures and their internal features, and also included human burials of both periods. Unusually, one Iron Age burial was accompanied by a saw, and among the Roman burials was a cemetery of seven newborn infants. An unexpected discovery was the remains of a Roman bath-house with a plunge pool flagged with stones and decorated with painted wall-plaster. This was later drained and had a central cistern inserted, while the loft was used to store grain. The building was destroyed by fire at the very end of the Roman period, resulting in the exceptional preservation of charred grain, together with fragmentary timbers, on the floor.

For the past ten years Erin Sims has fought tirelessly to try and exonerate her brother, Justin, who, according to Erin, has been wrongfully convicted of murdering a Senator's daughter. She believes the real killer has evaded the law with a new identity and continued to kill. On the night of Justin's execution, he receives one last temporary stay. Now Erin has just seven days to save her brother's life by catching the real killer. Her hunt takes her to a quiet town in Ohio, and to the door of Sherriff Nick Mann. After Nick Mann lost both his career as an über-detective and his wife to a criminal's bullet, he refused to raise his daughter in dangerous Los Angeles. So he returned to Hopewell, Ohio, with its homey businesses and picturesque neighborhoods. Exactly the kind of town where he can protect the people he cares about. Under Nick's watch, crime doesn't dare come to Hopewell. Until Erin Sims arrives with her stories of a secret serial killer living in their midst. In the seams of this unsuspecting town, a master-manipulator is at work: The Angelmaker. Living under cover of Hopewell's Norman Rockwell existence, The Angelmaker basks in the glory of making the ultimate choice for each murder victim: heaven or hell? Nick is not about to let anyone hurt his town. And when an unknown assailant makes an attempt on Erin's life, proving her claims are true, Nick won't rest until she is safe as well.

One step away... Seven years ago Beth Denison was attacked by a killer named Chevy Bankes. Since then, she's created a new life for herself and her daughter. But now Bankes is out of prison and the gifts he sends her - disfigured dolls that carry the same mutilations as his victims - tells Beth he's coming for her. One breath away... Ex-FBI agent Neil Sheridan is driven to investigate a chain of murders that are eerily similar to a disturbing case from his past. When the killer's trail dead-ends at Beth's doorstep, Neil finds a beautiful woman with a secret she'll do anything to keep. One scream away... Yet even as Beth surrenders to Neil's protection, she can't tell him why Bankes hungers to hear her scream, and why she'll soon consider doing the unthinkable: face Bankes alone.
