Someone brutally murdered Mary Mathison, daughter of a prominent and very conservative local pastor, and Avery, a transgender boy who loved Mary, is bent on finding her killer. He goes to the crime scene to do some investigating, but is quickly put in harm's way. Reluctantly, Avery must move to the sidelines to wait for the police to do their job. However, following Mary's funeral, Avery receives the first in a series of disturbing text messages that can only come from the killer, revealing that Avery is now a target. The killer claims that Mary's murder was revenge for her relationship with Avery. The killer's demands are simple and horrific: Avery must repent for changing his gender identity, or he will be the next one killed. Now Avery is torn between finding the murderer and protecting himself from a killer who is playing a disturbing cat-and-mouse game. Can Avery deny who he is to catch Mary's killer? Or will sacrificing himself be the ultimate betrayal?

Visual and material sources are central to historical practice and this is a much-needed introduction to using artefacts as evidence.

History is marked by great moments of human achievement, of epic triumph against all odds, and China's Long March was one of the most momentous. For two years from 1934 to 1936, the Red Army retreated across the wilds of China, battling nationalist forces and struggling to stay alive in impossibly harsh conditions. This book revisits the original route of the Long March and portrays the country today through the eyes of a celebrated team of Chinese and international photographers. Their images capture the people and places of modern-day China as it rushes into the 21st century while holding onto traditions from past centuries and honouring the spirit of the Long March. For over 75 years the Chinese people have looked to the story of the Long March for inspiration. This unique and visually breathtaking insight into a country that has undergone monumental change over the past 75 years, and an uplifting and at times moving portrait of the ordinary people adapting in the face of change.
