"In the early morning of 7 June 1917, the Catholic and Nationalist 16th (Irish) Division advanced side-by-side with the Protestant and Unionist 36th (Ulster) Division to take the Messines Ridge, south of Ypres. That evening, in a field hospital of the Ulster Division, an officer of the 16th died of wounds. He was Major William--nearly always known as Willie--Redmond; the brother of John Redmond, leader of the Irish parliamentary party. Willie Redmond was 56 at the time of his death, and holding a position of relative safety on the 16th Division's staff. Yet he insisted on going forward with his old battalion, the 6th Royal Irish Regiment. He had a premonition of his death in battle, and saw himself as making a blood sacrifice for Ireland every bit as meaningful as that made by the men of the Easter Rising. Willie Redmond was buried at Locre, the 16th Division's headquarters. There he still lies: uniquely, his body was never gathered with those of his fallen comrades into one of the official war cemeteries built after the war. His 'lonely grave', for the most part unvisted, symbolises Ireland's indifference to the fate of its soldiers who died in the Great War. Willie Redmond had been a nationalist member of parliament for nearly 34 years; representing Wexford, North Fermanagh, and East Clare. He had been one of the most determined advocates of home rule for Ireland--imprisoned three times by the British for his political activities. Yet when his brother called upon his supporters to join the British army in September 1914, Willie Redmond was one of the fist to enlist. His death in battle made a greater international impact that the death of any other British soldier in the Great War. This biography, the first of Willie Redmond, covers both his political and military careers."--P. [2] of cover.

Student Alistair Minton is missing, and his parents want Sam Dyke to find him. He does ... and then learns the reason Alistair disappeared. It harks back to an event that his parents, Carol and Giles, have been hiding both from others and from themselves since Alistair was a child. As he delves deeper, Dyke uncovers two murders separated by fifteen years. And he learns they're connected by people with a moral blindness and a willingness to act as if ends always justify the means. Racing to solve the case before his client participates in an important election, the question Dyke must face is how he can preserve his own integrity and still bring the murderer to justice. Written in the tradition of Raymond Chandler and Ross Macdonald, The Lonely Grave examines how damaged families can extend the hurt and shame experienced by one generation into the next, with results that are damaging to all. Keith Dixon is a two-time First-place winner, private eye/noir category, in Chanticleer Reviews' CLUE Awards for crime writing. "Dixon's somewhat surly, often cocksure crime fighter, Dyke, is a marvelous creation. His investigative skills rival that of any intellectual British parlor sleuth, while his tendency to get in the face of dangerous characters shows he is no stranger to backroom brawls. Throw in a few sarcastic zingers to add humor to some otherwise very tense moments-and you have the essence of Dixon's anti-hero. There's no word out of place in this practiced writer's prose; he knows how to pressurize a plot to the point of near explosion, then reins it all in and sweeps up the loose ends. Highly recommended." Extract from Chanticleer Review of The Innocent Dead.

Out in the forest, beyond the edge of town, there's a place where nobody goes. According to legend, a strange creature lives deep in the darkness, trapped in a pit as it waits for its next victim. Some say the creature is real, others claim that it was real once but died many years ago. Sheriff John Tench is about to uncover the shocking truth. As he continues his investigation into the case of Little Miss Dead, John finds himself drawn into an ancient mystery. Face to face with unspeakable evil, he soon realizes that one of Sobolton's most terrifying legends is rooted in a tragedy that struck the town years ago. But can he end this tragedy after so many years, or is the pain destined to repeat for generations to come? Meanwhile Lisa starts to notice strange discrepancies in her life, leading her to question whether everything she sees can be real. Before she has a chance to get to the truth, however, she finds that she has a hidden enemy much closer to home. Is the past finally about to come crashing into her life again? In a Lonely Grave is the fourth book in the Horrors of Sobolton series, which tells the story of one small town's struggle to deal with the paranormal monstrosities on its doorstep. Each book tells a standalone story, but there are cliffhangers and readers are recommended to go through the series in order.

In 1868, Frank Toovey Lake, a young British Midshipman, died while serving with the Royal Navy and was interred on the island of Hiroshima in the Seto Inland Sea of Japan. Up until recently Lake’s grave on Hiroshima had been identified only by his family name ‘Lake,’ and he was described as an English officer who died while serving on the Royal Navy survey ship, HMS Sylvia. However no further information on Lake could be found until new research showed that in one important detail these facts were wrong: namely that the ship had been incorrectly identified as HMS Sylvia when in fact he died on HMS Manilla. From knowing this, it has now been possible to give the young officer his full name, Frank Toovey Lake, and to build an understanding of his life. Since the burial the islanders have both maintained and improved the grave until the present day. This led to admiration among the late-19th century British community in Japan (including prominent members such as Sir Ernest Satow and Thomas Glover), and a flurry of newspaper articles appeared around the world in 1899 recounting the story and praising the conscientiousness of the local people. Since then the grave’s story has made only sporadic appearances in the media but continues to be celebrated locally. This grave is far from unique: the graves of many foreigners can be found in Japan, most within the foreign cemeteries in cities such as Tokyo, Yokohama, Kobe and Nagasaki and to whose numbers we can add those of souls buried at sea within Japan’s waters. But there are at least two good reasons to celebrate its continued existence. First, in the mid-19th century as Japan became more accessible to the outside world this created, at least initially, mutual distrust between foreigners and Japanese; these newcomers were viewed as barbarians and intruders (albeit at times justifiably), and this was a period when some were slain and their vessels fired upon. So without suggesting that widespread conflict existed - because it didn’t - nonetheless it is notable that during this period a group of villagers decided to care for and not destroy the grave, and that today this grave is as well tended as ever. Second, at one time Lake’s death was commemorated on a monument in the churchyard of the village where he was born. A few years ago that monument - along with other Toovey graves - was swept away, the graveyard cleared for ease of maintenance, and all trace of Frank Toovey Lake has now gone. This story also touches on other aspects of Japan and Britain’s 19th century history not least the display of typical contradictory characteristics of Pax Britannica in the Inland Sea: the rapid deployment of the Royal Navy into Japan’s territorial waters yet undertaking surveying and other benign operations; the threat and occasional use of gunboat diplomacy, and at times an arrogance towards the country yet countered by great affection for the place and its people by some - or many -individuals. The story also involves personalities such as Richard Henry Brunton, T B Glover and the British diplomat Ernest Satow who took important roles in helping Japan develop. In short, the story of Lake and his grave is more than the story of an individual and a granite monument.
