Extreme Eviction A Ryan Wilson Novel Chris Waters is a former sales and marketing manager and hockeycoach. He is a proud grandfather who enjoys playing golf and poker. He also writes poetry and short stories. He lives and writes near Toronto Canada. Kelby was a quiet rural town where little happened and what did happen was hardly considered exciting or newsworthy. When the seemingly unfortunate death of a Chicago bank manager is linked to an accidental death in the town of Kelby, Detective-Sergeant Ryan Wilson attempts to find out what the connection is. Another death brings a clearer picture, and Wilson is placed in charge of a team of investigators trying to stop a devious killer from terrorizing the people of Kelby. The assignment becomes more difficult each day, as the killer demonstrates the calculating ability to elude the grasp of the task force. Frustrated, and tired of chasing a ghost, Wilson devises a plan to trap the killer, but will it work, or will he put more people in the town of Kelby at risk.

The strategic, political, and moral threats posed by the rise of fascist regimes in Germany and Italy were so severe that all the democratic governments faced a myriad of challenges during the 1930s. Australia, as part of the British Empire, was no exception. Christopher Waters here examines Australia’s role in Britain’s policy of appeasement from the time Hitler came to power in 1933 through to the declaration of war on September 3, 1939. Focusing on five leading figures in the Australian governments of the 1930s, it examines their responses to the rise of Hitler and the growing threat of fascism in Europe. Australian governments accepted the principle that the Empire must speak with one voice on foreign policy and Australian political leaders were therefore intimately involved in the decisions taken by successive governments in London. As such, this book not only describes the Australian role in these events, but also provides new insights into the Chamberlain government’s reactions to the developments in Europe. Australia and Appeasement provides an important and original study of the making of imperial foreign policy in the inter-war era and will be invaluable reading for researchers of Australian and imperial history and for anyone interested in the origins of World War II.
