Court
in the Act, which completes the trilogy, concentrates
on the work of the police force, the magistrates' and
other courts in WWII Hastings. As the effects of war took
hold, there was hardly any aspect of home front life that
was not controlled by some Government Act, Regulation
or Order, putting even more pressure on already overworked
police officers.

The
now famous occupant of Lavender Cottage, Emilie Crane,
returns, to let us back into her life and the daily doings
of her neighbours on the Ridge. What was the truth about
the supposed nudist colony opposite Lavender Cottage?
Was the guest house close by really a haven for left wing
agitators and a bolt hole for the scandalous occultist,
Aleister Crowley?.

For
over half century Hastings has been host to hundreds of
thousands of young people from all over the world. Host
Families Wanted, the true story of overseas English language
students in Hastings, is approached with the enthusiasm
for detail that my regular readers expect of me.
If you are a host family, have been, or are thinking of
becoming one, this book is for you.

The Slow Turning Tide looks back
to over a half a century ago, when Hastings and St Leonards faced
the long task of recovering from WWII. Full of intriguing detail the
book features stories of Hastings citizens, rebuilding their lives,
homes and careers, marrying and raising families, while enduring austerity
and nine post-war years of rationing and shortage of everything, including
houses
