Dead Like Her

It seems like a straightforward case for newly promoted DCI Paul Banham and DI Alison Grainger: the murdered women all bore an uncanny resemblance to Marilyn Monroe and worked for a look-alike agency. But the enquiry soon unearths connections with a covert investigation into drug-running and people-trafficking. A new member of the team, uniquely qualified but inexperienced, is placed in a dangerous situation-made more difficult when love rears its complicated head! Can Banham and Grainger save her from the villains-and from herself? ""Enjoyable third police procedural to feature Det. 

In this authoritative book John Grainger explores the foundations of Alexander's empire and why it did not survive after his untimely death in 323 BC. Alexander the Great's empire stretched across three continents and his achievements changed the nature of the ancient world. But for all his military prowess and success as a conqueror, John Grainger argues that he was one of history's great failures. Alexander's arrogance was largely responsible for his own premature death and he was personally culpable for the failure of his imperial enterprise.
