Welcome to the life of a local journalist, and the curious tradition of the “walk-in” – when a member of the public turns up with a tale to tell. The newsworthiness of these stories is... well... mixed, to say the least. But every journalist remembers their weirdest and most wonderful walk-ins.

Esta es la historia de un asesinato. O quizá esto no sea del todo cierto. En el fondo, es sobre todo una historia de amor. Lana Farrar es una antigua estrella de cine, un icono de la moda admirado durante años. Desde que su marido falleció, vive reclusa en su mansión de Londres. Cada año invita a sus amigos más íntimos a escapar del clima inglés y pasar la Pascua en su idílica isla griega privada, un pequeño islote de lujo azotado por un poderoso viento que los lugareños llaman «la furia».

“Érem set en total, atrapats a l’illa. Un de nosaltres era un assassí...” En una petita illa privada grega, l’estrella de cinema retirada Lana Farrar –una vella amiga– convida un selecte grup de nosaltres a quedar-se. Serà un dia calorós, assolellat, perfecte. Una oportunitat per relaxar-se i reconnectar, i potser perquè surtin algunes veritats amagades. Perquè res en aquesta illa no és el que sembla. Ni la Lana, ni els seus convidats. Certament, no l’assassí. Però jo, qui soc? Em dic Elliot Chase, i us explicaré una història diferent de qualsevol que hàgiu sentit mai.

It's clear that we have not honored the promise we make to veterans: that we as a country will help them after they've served and sacrificed. And while there are many books written by and for veterans, only a small selection of those address the transition to civilian life, and none are a truly complete reference for stepping out of service and back into normal life. Warrior to Civilian covers a range of topics, from the practical—finding a job, reintegrating into family life—to the more challenging topics, like dealing with loss, and finding new purpose in life.
