        Text: Murder

        by George G A Wensley

        Who would want to kill a beautiful young German model?  Her body is found washed up in a harbour near Eastbourne England. Two characters clash together and are tasked with solving the murder. One character is Inspector Carpenter, an Englishman; to all intense purposes he is outwardly cool but full of self-doubt. The second character; is straight off the weekly extradition plane from Poland, Lieutenant soon to become DS Kaminska a very religious but efficient Police woman. Carpenter can’t even guess the right drinks to order in social situations, but he can listen, tell a lie from the truth and he can plod through the leads until he hits the right one. Time is his ally. Kaminska is fluent in several languages, but her English isn’t that good.  Like most continental police she can use a gun. It is a clash of cultures and personalities. By chance Carpenter’s lap top is stolen, but in an odd way this helps with solving the murder.  Carpenter and Kaminska crash through the Kent country side and London, trying to get a working relationship together.  They follow leads that go to the Island of Sark. Leads are given by forensic investigation of a flash mobile phone. The story climaxes at Eastbourne where Serena Williams is making her come back. Her defeat is woven with the end action off the end of the pier. Carpenter and Kaminska catch the hit man, but is it the end of the pier for his boss?

        Soft-Shed Kisses

        Re-visioning the Femme Fatale in English Poetry of the 19th Century

        by Author(s): Małgorzata Łuczyńska-Hołdys

        The femme fatale appears with unceasing regularity in the texts of major poets of the nineteenth century. She symbolises an intractable mystery, a refusal to be defined and a fierce attempt to exist outside the established gender system. Soft-Shed Kisses: Re-visioning the Femme Fatale in English Poetry of the 19th Century interrogates the construction and use of the fatal woman motif in the poetry of canonical male writers of the times, both Romantic and Victorian. Subsequent chapters investigate a variety of poems by John Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Alfred Tennyson, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Charles Algernon Swinburne in which the femme fatale surfaces as the most important character. Close-readings of poetry are enriched by an examination of the same motif in visual art, set against the vivid cultural background of the Victorian era.
