At a time when justice not only needs to be done but also needs to be seen to be done, Kangaroo Justice and the Death of Mike Hall: An Australian Miscarriage of Justice asks some difficult questions that deserve to be heard and answered.On 31 March 2017 British ultra-endurance cyclist Mike Hall was struck and killed in Australia while riding his bicycle towards Canberra. At the inquest into his death, Mike was portrayed as not being conspicuous enough to motorists. Yet his reflective clothing was not retained by police, and other physical evidence was inexplicably sent back to the family.The driver was never charged even though he was speeding, with headlights that he stated could only project two metres and brakes that worked intermittently. Meanwhile the driver's blood toxicology results were not presented to the Coroner until the eleventh hour, and have been kept from scrutiny - until now.Kangaroo Justice and the Death of Mike Hall: An Australian Miscarriage of Justice is not an easy read. It recounts the avoidable death of Mike Hall in Australia, and the flawed investigation and coronial inquest that followed. This book may anger you and it may frustrate you, and perhaps it will move you to tears. But if it also motivates you to speak out, or speak up, then we have done right by Mike.

On June 14, 2018, when almost at the halfway mark of the 4,208-mile Trans Am Bike Race from Oregon to Virginia, Minnesotan cyclist John Egbers was struck from behind, in broad daylight, by a car driven by Mr Angel Labra. The weather that day was clear, and the road was straight and dry. Three weeks later, John's heart stopped beating. Mr Labra's excuse was that he was distracted by the nearby fields. The Kansas Highway Patrol and the Wichita County Sheriff's Office failed to charge Mr Labra, and Wichita County Attorney Laura Lewis agreed with them that John's death was just a tragic accident. In doing so, she failed to hold the driver accountable for his actions or to deliver justice for John, his wife and their family.That same week two other competitors in the race were also struck from behind by Kansan drivers - Englishman Ash Sharp and American T.C. Cheng. While Ash made a full recovery, T.C. struggles daily with life-changing spinal injuries. In telling their stories, Diminished By One celebrates their love of cycling and the friendships that develop in races like the Trans Am Bike Race. It is also a testament to how the human spirit can triumph over adversity.

Contained in these pages are three stories that all share one important point: Their events would not have been possible without The Inn.

In "Chaos Candy," by Amie Gibbons, supernatural bounty hunter Zee tries to uncover a dark secret and learns much more than she ever wanted to know.
