Books by Jack Young

Council housing is as much a part of the capital as Big Ben or Buckingham Palace; so why is it so much harder to find books that capture these often architecturally beautiful estates? Over the last few decades, we''ve seen council houses fall into disrepair and defamation. This book, written and photographed by Jack Young - who has spent the last two years visiting every corner of London to find the city''s most unique structures - features beautiful images, personal interviews and design insights that celebrate some of our most vital urban buildings. A photographic celebration of some of London''s most important and innovative council housing.

Detective Gil Conroy doesn't like the looks of his future. Forced into early retirement by a gunshot wound, he finds himself in a double-wide trailer in the woods of upstate New York, collecting rocks and enduring visits from his womanizing neighbor Glenn Stiles. But a chance meeting with the strange Pastor Brumestead at the St. Aldo New Mind Center challenges Conroy's professional nature. He senses that the secluded setting conceals something deeply evil. Amidst an odd collection of players including the local constable, a shadowy Mohawk, his own ex-wife, and Stiles' latest conquest, Conroy sets out to expose the insanity that is ruling the New Mind Center. The truth proves more ghastly than he imagined, and his struggles to convince others will push him into dark places.
