The experiences of an Asian-American woman in the hallowed halls of Yale University’s School of Medicine are depicted in this fictional story. Mary Enji Scott, an innocent woman who graduates with a Ph.D. in a scientific field is hired by a department in the School of Medicine at Yale. Unknown to her, a rogue team of FBI agents are hired to make her die out of Yale, by either ruining her career, and finally killing her off. She becomes a romantic interest of an English MI5 agent, Andrew Michaels, who goes through intimidation when he tries to keep watch over Mary. The involvement of the Japanese Mafia, the Yakuza, and other foreign police organizations provide interest in Mary Enji Scott’s real identity. The story is a mixture of foreign espionage, with the budding romance between Mary and Andrew in its midst. Mary Faderan provides a believable picture of the life of an Asian American woman in a very elite environment.

Martin O’Neill has had one of the most incredible careers in football – winning European Cups, captaining his country at a world cup, and decades as a hugely successful manager. On Days Like These tells his fascinating story in his own words for the first time. 'Entertaining . . . An extraordinary career' – The Guardian A key part of Brian Clough’s legendary Nottingham Forest team in the ‘70s and early ‘80s, Martin also represented Northern Ireland more than sixty times and led them at the 1982 World Cup. As a manager he took Leicester City to two League Cups, Celtic to seven trophies, and the Republic of Ireland to the European Championship in 2016. Martin tells of his exhilarating highs and painful lows; from the joys of winning trophies and promotion to making the difficult decision to retire as a player, boardroom drama, relegation scraps and being fired. Written with his trademark forthright honesty and humour, On Days Like These is a must-read for any fan of the beautiful game. 'You'll never get your head out of this . . . The stories are fantastic' – John Motson, legendary football commentator

'Emotional, insightful, beautifully written. A story of making saves and being saved. The best football book I have read this year.' Henry Winter Sir Alex Ferguson looked at Joe Sealey: 'You know your dad saved my career?' Joe replied: 'And you saved his.' More than three decades before, in 1990, Ferguson's managerial career stood at its lowest ebb. After three barren years at Old Trafford, he was facing dismissal. There was just the FA Cup final left. Manchester United were lucky to escape with a 3-3 draw at Wembley. For the replay, Ferguson took the gamble of his life, replacing his long-standing keeper, Jim Leighton, with Les Sealey, on loan from Luton. United won. Ferguson remained, winning another 24 major trophies. Les Sealey would play in another three finals for United. When he died suddenly, aged 43, Les left behind a warm, witty, and detailed autobiography in the form of a Tupperware box full of cassette tapes. His death, however, threw his son, Joe, into a tormented spiral of alcoholism and drug abuse before he was dragged from the brink. On Days Like These, longlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year, is the story of a remarkable double rescue. Of a football club and of a man.
