The post-apartheid dispensation that has seen Black people continue to be hurled at the margins of existence has crystalised mental pathologies that have their roots in our violent and amoral past. Millions of Black people in South Africa are battling with a range of mental health challenges resulting from a complex interplay between biological, psychological, social and environmental factors. In Corridors of Death, the lived experiences of Black students in historically White universities is explored, exposing how structural violence, racism and a culture of alienation are pushing them to the edge of depression and increasingly, suicide. The book contends that urgent structural and institutional interventions need to be made, the centre of which must be transformation that reflects the demographic and socio-political construct of the South African society. Unless and until this happens, Black students will increasingly reach an unendurable level of invisible agony, and die in universities.

Battered to death with a piece of abstract sculpture titled "Reconciliation", Whitehall departmental head Sir Nicholas Clark is claimed by his colleagues to have been a fine and respected public servant cut off in his prime. Bewildered by the labyrinthine bureaucracy of Whitehall, Scotland Yard's Superintendent Jim Milton recognizes a potential ally in Clark's young Private Secretary, Robert Amiss. Milton soon learns from Amiss how Whitehall works: that it can be Machiavellian and potentially homicidal, that Sir Nicholas was obnoxious and widely loathed, that he had spent the weeks before his murder upsetting and antagonizing family and associates, and that his last morning on earth had been spent gleefully observing the success of his plan to embarrass his minister and his department publicly. And they still need to discover who wielded the blunt instrument. This is the first of Ruth Dudley Edwards' witty, iconoclastic but warm-hearted satires about the British Establishment

The first cuts a swath through the aSouthsidea of Tucson. Its portal is a hundred year-old church. It meanders three miles through Tucsonas predominately Hispanic neighborhoods, ending at a modern day icon, a Circle-K. The second begins at Nogales Wash. It follows the land north, ignoring the International Boundary, and joins the winding passageway of Santa Cruz River by cutting a path through Altar Valley to Tucson. Rickyas death appears to be the result of drugs. Detective Karl Tedford, a professional boxer prior to becoming a policeman, was a friend of El Tigre. His investigation leads to Mexico and the Maquiladora plants that have brought Mexicans to the border area from deep in Southern Mexico as the result of NAFTA. Karl promises to find the killers. He is determined to restore Rickyas honor. Along the way, he discovers there is more to life than his work.
