For 25 years McGrail has been haunted by the unsolved killing of 17 year old who was murdered at a 1987 election night party, but finally a witness comes forward with a scrap of information which sheds light on one of the many mysteries surrounding the case and prompts McGrail to instruct Ihaka to look into it. Ihaka, meanwhile, is embroiled in a very personal mystery. A freelance journalist has stumbled across information that Ihaka's father Jimmy, a trade union firebrand and renegade Marxist, didn't die of natural causes. Meanwhile Van Roon is unexpectedly hired by a PR man, acting on behalf of a shadowy tycoon, to investigate a reported sighting of a political powerbroker who vanished without trace in 1987. The three strands weave themselves into an exciting climax in an atmosphere of political manoeuvring and intrigue surrounding New Zealand's confrontation with the USA over its anti-nuclear stance"--Publisher information.

Drug overdose is the leading cause of death for Americans under fifty, with rising addiction rates to opiates, alcohol, sedatives, cigarettes, and screens. Despite the evolving landscape of addiction, our approaches remain outdated, treating it as a binary issue—either a disease one suffers from or not. This perspective overlooks the numerous societal pressures contributing to addiction, such as stress, poor nutrition, sleep deprivation, and isolation, compounded by a flawed medical system and pharmaceutical practices. Addiction exists on a spectrum, and we are more susceptible at different life stages. The most effective recovery strategies involve a holistic approach, as outlined in a 13-point plan within this book. Dr. Paul Thomas, who overcame alcohol addiction and established a successful rehabilitation center for teens in Portland, OR, shares his insights. Recognized as a leading family doctor and pediatrician, Dr. Paul is board-certified in integrative and addiction medicine, combining conventional and alternative health practices. His life's work focuses on saving lives through comprehensive treatment. This book serves as a beacon of hope and a practical guide to overcoming addiction and the broader challenges we face.
