AN UNKINDNESS OF RAVENSA Book of collective Nouns

chLOE RhODES

Collective nouns are one of the most charming oddities of the English language, and most of those found in this book have their origins in the Medieval Books of Courtesy, among the earliest works to be published in this country.

X From a Pitying of Turtle Doves to a Murder of Crows or a Skulk of Foxes, these phrases were deemed ‘terms convenient’ for the ‘gentleperson’ to use when describing groups of animals and birds

X Highly readable and often surprising, the phrases show the English language at its elegant and appealing best

Meet Cato Kwong – disgraced cop and ex-poster boy for the police force. Banished to the Stock Squad after the fallout from a police frame-up, Cato is brought in from the cold to solve the case of a human torso washed up onto the wild shores of Hopetoun, Western Australia. But Cato faces powerful opposition when his investigation lifts the lid on the exploitation of migrant workers and disturbs an even darker criminal mind.

X Prime Cut was shortlisted for the 2010 Crime Writers' Association Debut Dagger Award, and won Australia's Ned Kelly Award for best debut crime fiction in 2011.

Cato Kwong is back. Back in Boom Town and back on a real case – the unsolved mystery of a missing fifteen-year-old girl. But it's midsummer in the city of millionaires and it's not just the heat that stinks. As a series of blunders by Cato's colleague brings the squad under intense scrutiny, Cato's own sympathy for a suspect threatens to derail his case and his career.
