I thought of the reason for my sudden decision to become a nurse. It had been no vacational calling, , but had been caused by a dark-haired, sullenly handsome Irish boy storming out of our tennis club one evening, vowing never to see me again. So begins Patricia Jordan's nursing career. Born in Belfast, she leaves behind a close-knit
- but demanding
- Irish family & a failed romance to begin training in London. From the tough world of nursing school, she goes on to meet the patient who would become her husband & lead her to accept a post in north-west Engl&.

District Nurse is a captivating personal account of a life spent caring for others.

Reggie Nadelson's new Artie Cohen mystery begins when a jogger finds a kid's clothes drenched in blood & buried in the half frozen earth near Brighton Beach
- the coast of Brooklyn. It takes place in New York, a city of islands & rivers, bridges & tunnels. All of it is set between downtown Manhattan where Artie lives, an area still traumatized by the loss of the Twin towers, & coastal Brooklyn. Brighton Beach, all boardwalk, beach & Russians. Coney Island with its wrecked amusement park. Sheepshead Bay with its inlets & fishing boats. The plot concerns the killing of one child & the abduction of another, & the subsequent outbreak of fear. Fear is the real story here. The fear that explodes when two children are involved & still others seem to go missing. The way the city is still locked in the terror that's never gone away since 9/11. The constant presence of barricades & barriers & soldiers with AKs as part of the New York domestic landscape. It's also about Artie's relationship with the Russian community in Brooklyn, the way the story reels him back over & over, the way he can never really escape.
