In 2007 Terry Crawford-Browne published the explosive Eye On The Money. It was primarily an account of the international banking sanctions campaign against apartheid during the 1980s, but also dealt with the early stages of the now well-documented South African arms deal scandal. Eye On The Diamonds is a sequel to the earlier book and provides updated information on the uncovering of the scandal. Its purpose is to keep the arms deal saga and the venality of the war business in public focus. In 2008 Crawford-Browne was asked to lead a public interest application to the South African Constitutional Court after huge volumes of evidence confirmed how BAE and other arms companies paid massive bribes to politically well-connected members of the African National Congress - the so-called 'black diamonds' - to secure their contracts. His application forced President Jacob Zuma's reluctant appointment in October 2011 of a judicial commission of inquiry to investigate the scandal. Eye On The Diamonds' focus on diamonds links the colonial and apartheid histories of South Africa with the close histories of Israel and Palestine. It demonstrates how De Beers, the South African originated company which dominated the diamond cartel for more than a century is fast losing control to far more ruthless Israeli players. Crawford-Browne suggests that the diamond trade, which is critical to the twenty-first century war business, makes every diamond a 'blood diamond'. Blood diamonds provide the ultimate money laundering opportunity for organised crime, while the Israeli war business thwarts efforts at peaceful resolution of conflict. Israel itself has become a 'promised land' for organised crime where assassinations, money laundering and other criminal activities are justified in the 'national interest'. Crawford-Browne shows in this well-researched and hard-hitting book that the international war business and the corruption it unleashes is completely out of control.

A Bath antiques dealer has disappeared, and detective Peter Diamond has been saddled with the "help" of a hardboiled Philip Marlowe wannabe private investigator in cracking the case. MWA Grand Master Peter Lovesey's 20th installment in the award-winning series will have readers laughing from the first page. If there's one thing detective Bath Peter Diamond has no patience for, it's a dumb git trying to get involved in one of his investigations—for example, a Philip Marlowe-wannabee private investigator like the self-styled Johnny Getz (his card claims he Getz results). But fate has saddled Diamond with this trial. A Bath antiques dealer, Septimus "Seppy" Hubbard, has disappeared without a trace, and his daughter, Ruby, has hired Johnny Getz to find him. When a dead body is discovered in Seppy's locked-up store, the missing persons case becomes a murder investigation, and now Diamond has to collaborate with the insufferable private eye.

Dark, hypnotic, mesmerizing...There is an ancient and widespread superstition known throughout history as the evil eye, also known as the envious eye. Like Medusa's gaze that had the power to turn a man to stone, people have cast an evil eye on others in hopes of "fascination" or bending someone else's will to their own over the power of a dark stare.Just as people, objects can also be the focus of an evil eye. There is probably no item more prone to catch a jealous, lustful gaze than true red diamonds. It is only natural that those who possess them look upon them with great desire, lust, and greed; and it is only a matter a time before these diamonds begin to trap the energy of those desires and emotions.Over time, a curse grows within.Vic Abelson is a young thief who made a name for himself as someone who gets things done. A new job may push his limits for he is sent to work with Jones, a veteran thief known to be ruthless and cunning. Together they have been tasked to complete a job another failed, to find a pair of matching red diamonds called the Red Diamond Eyes.Vic and Jones find this may be the most difficult job of their lives for the diamonds are hidden in an old abandoned house that is said to be haunted, and the diamonds exert a curse that has already taken many lives. Will Vic and Jones succeed, or will they become another soul snared by the Red Diamond Eyes?

New York Times Bestseller The bestselling author of The Rose Code returns with an unforgettable World War II tale of a quiet bookworm who becomes history’s deadliest female sniper. Based on a true story. In 1937 in the snowbound city of Kyiv, wry and bookish history student Mila Pavlichenko organizes her life around her library job and her young son—but Hitler’s invasion of Ukraine and Russia sends her on a different path. Given a rifle and sent to join the fight, Mila must forge herself from studious girl to deadly sniper—a lethal hunter of Nazis known as Lady Death. When news of her three hundredth kill makes her a national heroine, Mila finds herself torn from the bloody battlefields of the eastern front and sent to America on a goodwill tour. Still reeling from war wounds and devastated by loss, Mila finds herself isolated and lonely in the glittering world of Washington, DC—until an unexpected friendship with First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and an even more unexpected connection with a silent fellow sniper offer the possibility of happiness. But when an old enemy from Mila’s past joins forces with a deadly new foe lurking in the shadows, Lady Death finds herself battling her own demons and enemy bullets in the deadliest duel of her life. Based on a true story, The Diamond Eye is a haunting novel of heroism born of desperation, of a mother who became a soldier, of a woman who found her place in the world and changed the course of history forever.

"Yvan was challenged with lots of uncertainty in his life, but there is one thing he's always known - He loves diamonds. He loves educating about them, loves sharing his passion for them, and loves contemplating their beauty. But he was determined to understand exactly why he's so passionate about them." He seeks the answer to that question in the first volume of Diamond Brilliance from Within, examining the diamond's value and origins and how this relates to human value, perseverance, and potential. He writes, "They are, in fact, symbols of our lives. I strongly believe that diamonds are an exact representation of our lives. Diamonds are messages from Mother Earth to human beings. But that's just the tip of the iceberg." Diamonds, he writes, are more than symbols of financial and social status. Rather, they are a message from a higher spiritual power, and there is a direct correlation between the reflection of light inside a diamond and an individual's internal thoughts. Join the author as he embarks on a brave journey from the depths of the earth to unveil what diamonds can teach us about the essence of our Self, our Soul, heart, body and mind.
