About this deal

This is the story about WPC Yvonne Fletcher, who would have turned 65yrs of age this month. She was gunned down at the tender age of 25yrs by two gunmen when they opened fire with Sterling submachine guns from the first floor of the Libyan People’s Bureau in St. James’ Square, London. This is also the story of the unstinting courage of Yvonne’s friend John Murray who, as a PC standing next to Yvonne outside the Bureau on April 17th 1984 made her a promise as she lay dying, cradled in his arms, that he would not stop until he had brought her killers to justice. He has done half the job thus far by (amazingly) securing a High Court ruling that Saleh Ibrahim Mabrouk, a former minister in Muammar Gaddafi’s government, orchestrated the shooting of Yvonne, and was jointly liable for her death, and for John Murray’s injuries and the injuries of the protesters also hit by automatic gunfire that day. There were two additional songs, written for Claire and Jason respectively, entitled "Canceling the Party" and "Seeing You There", which were cut from the production. [5] [2] Productions [ edit ] This lovely book relates the story of a homeless child in India and her transformation into society at large. It reads almost like a memoir, emphasizing details from a year-long period in her life. Her encounter with a disease (won't tell what it is!) changes her whole being, and she is thrust into a new segment of her life with the knowledge that although she is unlike most others, she is not alone.

Matt was eventually persuaded to give this a go, and one evening, he sat at his computer and started to weave his notes into a work of fiction that he described as having a tremendously cathartic effect on his own condition.

Despite this, John refused to give up, and after almost four decades he has finally fulfilled that promise. This book is an extremely moving and eye-opening account of his long, and often dangerous, quest to not only discover the truth behind his friend’s death and bring her killers to justice, but also in the process expose the despicable behaviour and decisions of a self-serving government, who cared – and continue to care – more about their own agenda than the wellbeing of those who serve them. Such endorsements would be serious praise were Matt to have been trained as a writer and have come though a traditional route. But he didn’t. In fact, his journey from the military, through policing to eventual publication might be described as unique. The cheerful and sometimes annoyingly optimistic Warren sees beauty in the simple things in life, delivering the musical's message and final number ("Beautiful").Yoon, Hyo-jeong (April 13, 2021).

Everyone knew something smelled off as things developed, but proving it was another thing entirely. Kudos to the author for the intense detail and descriptive writing.

No Ordinary Day by Matt Johnson - Coles Books

Many will recall the shooting of Yvonne Fletcher as one of the greatest tragedies in UK policing history. It was followed by the longest siege and one of the greatest mysteries: why were her killers allowed to go free? Espionage, betrayal, terrorism, corruption and murder. All the ingredients of a Le Carre novel, only it's real' Matthew Hall An engrossing and riveting book which deserves a far wider audience than it will probably get. I have been following this story since the very beginning and thought I knew a lot about it - how wrong I was! The book does an excellent job of bringing together everything that has happened in almost 40 years and is a showcase for the determination and persistence of John Murray. The latter deserves some kind of national award or recognition whilst Matt Johnson should be applauded for his work. As a side note: the cover isn't a good introduction to a book. I seriously thought it was about a homeless child and her cat... lol I found myself cheering for Valli as she survived another day and made use of what she found. Early on she learned the lesson of using what she needed and then passing it on to others. I like that she did this with both tangible (a blanket) as well as intangible items (a hug). Having students think of things they could pass on to others would be a natural extension to this story.Jeong Tae-gun (May 26, 2021). "김성규, '어느 날' 합류…김수현X차승원과 호흡 [공식]". Ten Asia (in Korean).

They visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art again, together. Warren shows Deb his favorite painting, who cynically points out that it's a painting of very ordinary apples when they are in a museum with much grander works of art. Warren says that things are not intrinsically beautiful, but beauty comes from reflection, and something ordinary can nonetheless be "simple, familiar and full of feeling" ("Beautiful").
