Hardcover. Condition: Fine. ### Under The English Heaven 2002 by Robert Radcliffe### ### THIS BOOK: Classified as FINE, this is the 2002 Edition. The book minor shows signs of shelf wear, no bumping or foxing; the dust jacket is Fine, the book binding is dark maroon linen with neat gold lettering along the spine. The spine is still tight; I assume it hasn't been read much, if at all. Page edges are slightly discoloured due to paper quality.## ## Suffolk, summer 1943. Blue skies, record harvests and the build-up to one of the most bitter battles of the Second World War. Each dawn, from scores of bomber bases hastily built among East Anglia's sleepy villages, thousands of American airmen take off to strike, in broad daylight and against appalling odds, at Germany's industrial war machine. Each dusk, hundreds fail to return.## ## Bedenham is one such base and one such village. For the villagers, the American invasion brings upheaval, uncertainty and unease. For Billy Street, fourteen, a streetwise London evacuee, it is heaven-sent, a time of unlimited opportunity and acceptance, at last, within a community he loves. For Billy's schoolteacher, Heather Garrett, awaiting word of a husband missing for more than eighteen months, it is a time of increasing fear and isolation. And for Lt. John Hooper, a brilliant but traumatized UIS pilot trying to come to terms with his entire crew's death and his own shameful survival, it is the start of a desperate struggle for his sanity his redemption. Assigned an unlucky Flying Fortress and its demoralized and ill-disciplined crew, Hooper's fight to lead through that nightmare autumn of 1943 becomes a grinding war of numbers and a personal crusade. His friendship with Heather, neither a wife nor a widow ? brings only hostility from an already suspicious village. Yet the growing bond is their only reality in an unreal world, unstoppable as the savagery in the skies above.## ### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY.

Dr. Kay Scarpetta, now freelancing from South Florida, returns to the city that turned its back on her five years ago. Richmond, Virginia's recently appointed chief medical examiner claims that he needs Scarpetta's help to solve a perplexing crime. When she arrives, however, Scarpetta finds that nothing is as she expected: Her former lab is in the final stages of demolition; the inept chief isn't the one who requested her after all; her old assistant chief has developed personal problems that he won't reveal; and a glamorous FBI agent, whom Scarpetta dislikes instantly, meddles with the case. Deprived of assistance from colleagues Benton and Lucy, who are embroiled in what appears to be an unrelated attempted rape by a stalker, Scarpetta is faced with investigating the death of a fourteen-year-old girl, working with the smallest pieces of evidence --- traces that only the most thorough hunters can identify. She must follow the twisting leads and track the strange details in order to make the dead speak --- and to reveal the sad truth that may be more than even she can bear .

One man, a mild 55-year-old German named John Rabe, who ran the local Siemens factory, refused on the grounds that it would show a bad example to his Chinese workers. Sending his wife and family to safety, he watched in horror as the Japanese began to wipe out the population. Hastily contacting the tiny remaining community of foreigners - fewer than 20 people - and using the flimsy authority of a pact Hitler had made with the Japanese, Rabe spent months safeguarding and providing refuge for thousands of Chinese, often interposing himself physically between the executioners and their victims.
