Ayrshire policewoman Shirley McKie suffered the loss of her job, a trial for perjury, a breakdown in her health and had to undertake a nine-year campaign before she cleared her name and triumphed over a supposedly infallible science. Her crime - to speak the truth and refuse to accept the mis-identification of her fingerprint, allegedly found at a murder scene she should not have entered. During those nine years, her case became an international cause celebre during which she gained the support of the world fingerprint experts community and much of the world's press whilst at home being persecuted by government ministers, smeared by senior police officers and having her integrity traduced by Scottish forensic experts and Scottish politicians. Now, for the first time the true and authorized story of the Shirley McKie case is told by her father Iain - her strongest champion - and former MSP Michael Russell who has worked alongside the McKie family for over seven years.
The PRICE OF INNOCENCE is a thought-provoking mystery thriller. It has been said that the sword of justice has no scabbard. Unfortunately, true justice is obscure. Legal systems can merely offer an opportunity for justice. No system designed by man can ever guarantee it. Sadly, the legal systems designed to protect us can be distorted and corrupted by malevolent human beings who misuse it not only to perpetrate the worst injustices, but also to create the illusion that they, the bad guys, hold the moral high ground. The PRICE OF INNOCENCE is the story of a prominent respectable man falsely accused of a monstrous crime by a group that calls itself Traction. Traction claims to be governed by a fearsome "green lady" who came from another universe. She allegedly possesses bizarre powers. Traction's purpose is to spread fear and destroy this man and others like him in order to annihilate the economic, legal and social system that they represent so that Traction can exhume wealth and power from the ashes of anarchy. There are a precious few willing to recognize the seriousness of their threat or to challenge it. Murdock McCabe, a station chief for Veritus Investigations International, wades into the maelstrom. He learns to his dismay that even innocence exacts its penalty.

Ceremony of Innocence by Dorothy Cummings McLean Pdf
Riots. Terrorist attacks. Neo-Nazi violence. In modern-day Germany, journalist Catriona McClelland has seen it all while covering the contemporary European scene for a Catholic news organization. Keeping herself above the political fray in her professional life, she has also managed to keep herself from personal entanglements-still hurt from the wounds of a broken relationship. Things come to a head when her boyfriend Dennis, frustrated with a lack of commitment, leaves her for Suzy Davis, an idealistic young Canadian who is involved with a left-wing protest movement. But when Suzy is murdered... who is complicit and who is innocent? Ripped from the headlines, Ceremony of Innocence is a very contemporary novel of Europe on the edge of social breakdown. Train stations are bombed and migrants targeted for violence as journalists and other tastemakers watch from their positions of privilege. Dorothy Cummings McLean's realistic narrative does not describe the feats of heroes. Rather, it unnervingly lays bare the way religious faith and moral reasoning can be easily manipulated and compromised.

It seems the privileged, preppy schoolgirls on Chicago's North Shore have learned just how much their innocence is worth to hot-under-the-collar businessmen. But while these girls can pay for Prada pricetags, they don't realize that their new business venture may end up costing them more than they can afford.
