Blood Moon Calling"Blood Moon Calling" beckons readers into a medieval village nestled amid snowy mountains, where an aura of mystery hangs heavy in the chilling air. The peace is shattered when a series of gruesome murders rock the community, their brutality defying logical explanation-too savage to be the work of mere animals. The terrified villagers, grappling with fear and suspicion, decide to enlist an outsider's aid-a renowned detective known for solving the most confounding puzzles. As the detective delves into the heart of this chilling enigma, a startling revelation comes to light-the village harbors a secret, one that only surfaces beneath the crimson gaze of the blood moon. When the lunar phenomenon casts its eerie glow, a centuries-old curse awakens, transforming villagers into primal werewolves and unearthing hidden instincts. With each transformation, the identity of the elusive killer remains further concealed, and trust frays as fear takes hold. With the impending blood moon heightening tensions, the detective races against time to untangle the threads connecting the murders and the village's malevolent curse. "Blood Moon Calling" spins a suspenseful tale of ancient legends colliding with modern investigation. Amidst a landscape of concealed motives, age-old powers, and the ever-present shadow of human darkness, the secrets of the village threaten to consume all who dare to uncover them.

This book develops a theoretical approach to social stratification and applies it to the development of the official system of state honours in Britain. It examines both class and status, and sets out an innovative framework for understanding social status ¿ an important but often ignored and misunderstood dimension of social stratification. It is shown that a system of peerages, knighthoods, and other state-based royal honours emerged from feudal patterns of political rule and became an unplanned framework of social integration in the UK that has, since the nineteenth century, decayed and been challenged by alternative criteria of status. The book explores the class basis of the rise and decay of royal honours and includes a review of contemporary attempts to reconstruct and renew a system of social honour that reflects contemporary relations of power and class in Britain. It will be of interest to scholars and students of class, social inequality and British social structure.

Ten percent of the world's population lives on islands, but until now the place and space characteristics of islands in criminological theory have not been deeply considered. This book moves beyond the question of whether islands have more, or less, crime than other places, and instead addresses issues of how, and by whom, crime is defined in island settings, which crimes are policed and visible, and who is subject to regulation. These questions are informed by 'the politics of place and belonging' and the distinctive social networks and normative structures of island communities.
