"You could well be the worst typist in the Corps. Which is a shame because you could have been one of the best soldiers I ever trained." Sgt Hopkins looked at Pte Grant. "Being good at weapons drills and unarmed combat isn't everything. But what you've done today. That's a different matter." "What have I done today?" "The number one rule of any soldier, combat, clerk or engineer. What every soldier learns. Is that you don't fight for your government, your queen or your country. You fight for the man beside you. You help dig his trench. You watch his back. And you throw yourself on the grenade to save him." "I didn't throw myself on a grenade." "You ruined your career and your future for the man beside you at Waterloo Station. I hope he appreciates what you've done." 3BAPD, Bracht, Germany Before Snake Pass saw Jim Grant sent to America, and before Jamaica Plain saw Grant recruited by Boston PD, and even before the Black Hawk Down incident when he was in the British Army. Before all of that there was Operation Snow Queen. With only two years' service, Grant is posted to Germany after a runaway suitcase at Waterloo Station breaks a civilian passenger's leg. He replaces a Company Clerk who lost his head in an accident, and a smuggling ring that doesn't want him. Following an explosion at the Ammunition Depot, and a court martial in Dusseldorf, Grant is assigned to a training exercise in Bavaria. A place where landslides and falling off a mountain are the least of his worries. Critical Acclaim for Colin Campbell: "Very real.

Top stuff!" -Matt Hilton "An excellent story well told. A mixture of The Choirboys meets Harry Bosch." -Michael Jecks "Sets up immediately and maintains a breakneck pace throughout. Its smart structure and unrelenting suspense will please Lee Child fans." -Library Journal Review "This is police procedural close-up and personal. A strong debut with enough gritty real-ism to make your eyes water, and a few savage laughs along the way." -Reginald Hill

Mick Habergham enjoys working the nightshift; patrolling the midnight hours when the world is asleep and police work is simple. Sunday night should be quiet but, as his mind wrestles with divorcing Angela, it will prove to be anything but. From the mad knifeman of Hill Top Hostel to the most inept suicide attempt at the House of Pain, Mick will face all manner of obstacles to a peaceful night. If it isn't Marak Vargo or Booger Smith, it will be the tragic pensioners of Maple Court or the battle of The Alex Public House. Midnight ruins so many lives. Tonight, one will threaten Mick's own. If he wants a happy retirement he will first have to walk through fields of heartache and survive the ruins of midnight. Critical Acclaim for Colin Campbell: "Very real.

All four books together as one. And then the heaven's opened up and said, "The Adventures of Jesus Christ is fun, hilarious, and unlike any Second Coming tale you've ever read before.

"You do know this whole cops and donuts things is a fiction, right?" Larry Unger gave his technical advisor a sideways glance. "Is this where you tell me that John Wayne Syndrome's not about liking westerns?" Vince McNulty returned the look. "It's not about John Wayne either. The donuts. That's an American thing not a cop thing." "You remember what they said in Liberty Valance?" "Yeah. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend." "Well, donuts is the legend."

"A powerful account of one father's journey through unimaginable grief, offering readers a new vision for how to more actively and fully mourn profound loss. When Colin Campbell's two teenage children were killed by a drunk driver, he was thrown headlong into a grief so deep he felt he might lose his mind. As he began to process his grief, he realized that much of the common wisdom about coping with loss was unhelpful-that it is a private and mysterious process and that the pain is so great that there "are no words." Campbell draws on what he learned from his own journey to offer readers an alternate path for processing their pain that is active and vocal, and truly honors the loved ones they have lost. In Finding the Words, Campbell offers practical advice on how to survive in the aftermath of loss. By actively reaching out to their community, performing mourning rituals, and finding ways to express their grief, readers will learn how to live more fully while still holding their loved ones close. Campbell shines a light on a path forward through the darkness of grief"--

Support Vectors Machines have become a well established tool within machine learning. They work well in practice and have now been used across a wide range of applications from recognizing hand-written digits, to face identification, text categorisation, bioinformatics, and database marketing. In this book we give an introductory overview of this subject. We start with a simple Support Vector Machine for performing binary classification before considering multi-class classification and learning in the presence of noise. We show that this framework can be extended to many other scenarios such as prediction with real-valued outputs, novelty detection and the handling of complex output structures such as parse trees. Finally, we give an overview of the main types of kernels which are used in practice and how to learn and make predictions from multiple types of input data.

<i>Ex vice-cop Vince McNulty is technical advisor for Titanic Productions in Boston. It''s not like walking the beat back in Yorkshire but it''s a living. </i> <br><br>Boston, Massachusetts <br><br>"Can you get this guy to stop walking like a duck?" <br>"I know lots of cops who walk like ducks." <br>"In England maybe. In America they walk like John Wayne." <br><br>Teaching Alfonse Bayard to walk like a cop was only part of McNulty''s duties. Working for a tinpot movie company meant his job description included on set security, liaising with local police and even doing a little stunt work. Larry Unger liked to get his money''s worth. At least it got McNulty to America, where he could search for his missing sister who had been sold into adoption from Crag View Children''s Home back in the UK. <br><br>Investigating stolen film stock should have been a fairly innocuous task but when it leads to torture porn and snuff videos it soon turns into something much darker. And far more dangerous. <br><br>Praise for FINAL CUT: <br><br>"Fantastic story, fantastic characters-fantastic everything." -Chris Mooney, international bestselling author <br><br>Praise for the books by Colin Campbell: <br><br>"Very real. And very good." -Lee Child <br><br>"There''s nothing soft about Campbell''s writing. If you enjoy your crime fiction hard-boiled, the Jim Grant series is a must read." -Bruce Robert Coffin, author of the Detective Byron series <br><br>"A cop with a sharp eye, keen mind, and a lion''s heart." -Reed Farrel Coleman <br><br>"Campbell writes smart, rollercoaster tales with unstoppable forward momentum and thrilling authenticity." -Nick Petrie <br><br>"Grim and gritty and packed with action." -<i>Kirkus Review</i> <br><br>"The pages fly like the bullets, fistfights and one-liners that make this one of my favourite books of the year. Top stuff!" -Matt Hilton <br><br>"An excellent story well told. A mixture of <i>The Choirboys</i> meets Harry Bosch." -Michael Jecks <br><br>"Sets up immediately and maintains a breakneck pace throughout.

<i>Before Jim Grant became The Resurrection Man he was just a Yorkshire cop with a short fuse...</i> <br><br>Yorkshire, Los Angeles, Boston, Texas, Mexico and much more. <br><br>Helping an old lady get her stolen glasses back and dangling the thief over a cliff is just the start of a tarnished career and these stories fill in some of the gaps between his more widely published adventures. From the "Heavy Petting Chasing Tail Zen Dog Pet Boutique" to a bar at "Boquillas Crossing," Grant just can''t let injustice go unpunished. <br><br>But he''s not the only Yorkshireman in America. These stories also introduce Vince McNulty, a Yorkshire ex-cop now working for a tinpot movie company in Boston. It would be a strange coincidence if these two men didn''t know each other. Cops don''t believe in coincidence. Neither should you.

Jim Grant is at it again. Knee deep in shit, and shit deep in someone else’s past. So far so normal. Except this time it’s personal, and that’s why the past stings so much. Trouble comes in threes. Always has and always will. If Cole Thornton had recognized that he might have avoided much of what was to come. If he’d realized that the car crash was the start of his personal trifecta he could have moved on before Shelter Cove became a killing jar instead of a safe haven.Before the bodies on the beach and the shootings.And before Jim Grant came looking for him.
