Paperback. Zustand: Good. ?In 1985, I went to live on the other side of the peace line. Everyone said my head was cut. It was the summer of Live Aid and Bob Geldof pledged to save Africa from hunger. My ambitions were more modest. I wanted to stop the violence between Catholics and Protestants in Belfast.?  Driven by the conviction that things can change and that he can change them, Tony Macaulay takes up a job running a youth club in the staunchly nationalist New Lodge, an area known as Murder Mile, with youth unemployment at 90 per cent. Challenge enough you might think, but it?s also a requirement of the job that Tony, a Protestant from the Shankill Road, and his wife Lesley live in the local community. As the realities of life in a working-class republican community start to hit home, Tony?s idealism and faith are pushed to the limit. Inspiring, heart-breaking, and often laugh-out-loud funny, this is the story of how one couple kept the faith in a little house on the peace line.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "In Shimon Adaf's Lost Detective Trilogy, what begins as conventional mystery becomes by degrees a brilliant deconstruction not just of genre but of our own search for meaning. Both profound and compulsively readable, these books demand to be devoured." --Lavie Tidhar At age thirty, Elish Ben Zaken has found himself in a life he never imagined. As a university student, Elish was an esteemed rock-music critic for local newspapers; now, disenchanted with an increasingly commercialized music scene, he has joined a private investigation agency where he is content to be a "clerk of small human sins"--a finder of stolen cars and wayward husbands. But when a disconcertingly amiable detective asks him to look into the suicide of an infamous philosophy professor--and the police file contains an unexpected allusion to Dalia Shushan, a celebrated young rock singer whose recent murder remains unsolved--Elish's natural curiosity is piqued. And when violence begins to dog the steps of his investigation, he knows that dangerous secrets are at hand. Haunted by the ghost of Dalia, a true artist with a transformative voice whose dark brilliance Elish was one of the first to recognize, he must face the long-buried trauma of his own past in order to unravel the intertwining threads of two lives, and their ends. In Elish, Shimon Adaf has created an unforgettable protagonist. A former philosophy student with a questing mind, born to Moroccan parents and raised in an outlying town, he is an eternal outsider in cosmopolitan Tel Aviv. Equally, One Mile and Two Days Before Sunset is a detective novel unlike any other: an incisive portrait of a man and a city, and a meditation on disappointment, on striving for beauty and for intensity of experience, and on the futile desire to truly know another person.…

But when he sees Big Ed Callahan and his crew squaring off against one man, the odds are too stacked for him not to step in and help Tom Angel.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In 1980 Billy Starr turned his passion for extreme bike rides into a pioneering event supporting cancer research. Starting from his dad's dining room table, Starr built the Pan-Mass Challenge bike-a-thon into the country's most successful athletic fundraiser and legacy-setter in sports philanthropy.

 In its first 33 years, the PMC raised $375 million for Boston's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, with many of more than 9,000 participants reinvigorating their stake in the forging of new cures. Whether riding as many as 192 miles or helping out at water stops and hubs, PMC participants join a clamorous lovefest of reciprocal giving. Cheered on in small towns and alongside roads winding through Cape Cod, their contributions to the cause often reach extraordinary levels--which are valued more than ever in an era of research funding cutbacks.

 In 2011-12, a young girl from upstate New York with a rare type of leukemia inspired a riding team to new heights. Adding 184 miles to start from Hannah Hughes's driveway, Team Huckleberry finished four days later climbing the Provincetown dunes. The story of the PMC, a debut work of narrative nonfiction by Ken Brack, brings you along for the ride.…
