A peaceful lake, a cabin in the country, and each other...

In a town where everyone from state trooper to the judge is on the take, Phil gets nowhere fast.

When his widowed father — once a high court judge and always a formidable figure — drifted into vagueness if not dementia, the writer Adam Mars-Jones took responsibility for his care. Intimately trapped in the London flat where the family had always lived, the two men entered an oblique new stage in their relationship.

In the aftermath of an unlooked-for intimacy, Mars-Jones has written a book devoted to particular emotions and events. is a highly entertaining book about (among other things) families, the legal profession, and the vexed question of Welsh identity. It is necessarily also a book about the writer himself — and the implausible, long-delayed moment, some years before, when he told his sexually conservative father about his own orientation, taking the homophobic bull by the horns. The supporting cast includes Ian Fleming, the Moors Murderers, Jacqueline Bisset and Gilbert O'Sullivan, the singer-songwriter whose trademark look kept long shorts from their rightful place on the fashion pages for so many years.

Inspired by glimpses of Hollywood glamour, he finds his own form of resistance, escaping into myths of his own making, recast as a heroic cowboy or an intrepid big-game hunter. But when he finds himself inveigled as a go-between into an affair far beyond his juvenile comprehension, he is forced to turn from his interior world and unleash his talent for invention on the lives of others.

And all the while he is left to wonder — what could have happened to Señora Mir that day to send her so far beyond the edge of reason?

El primer domingo de mayo de 1842 la ciudad de Londres despertó con una trágica noticia, la muerte de la popular duquesa de Nolford. Los primeros indicios señalan como causa de la desgracia un incendio accidental y así lo decreta Derek Wayne, detective de Scotland Yard y encargado del caso. Pero, cuando todo parecía sumamente claro, aparece en escena la señorita Eleanor Grant y echa por tierra su teoría aportando pruebas que apuntan a que su amiga ha sido asesinada.

Eleanor no necesita buscar un culpable pues sabe muy bien quién es el responsable de esta atrocidad y se esforzará por demostrarle a todo Londres quién está detrás de la muerte de Harmony. Ahora deberá convencer al testarudo detective de que ella es la única que puede ayudarlo en el caso. Eleanor intentará hacer justicia al mismo tiempo que procura esconder su mayor secreto. Así, Derek se verá arrastrado a una vorágine que lo llevará a enfrentarse al mayor misterio de su carrera, mientras lidia con esa testaruda mujercita que insiste en inmiscuirse en la investigación y meterse en su corazón.

Harmony Brunet tenía la vida perfecta: amor, dinero y popularidad. Derek y Eleanor arañarán su pasado y juntos descubrirán quién era realmente la duquesa y qué escondía. Las pistas señalan al duque como culpable de su asesinato. Pero ¿será realmente su verdugo? ¿O tal vez otra víctima?

La vida de Elli y sus amigos era de lo más tranquila en un pueblecito australiano, hasta que deciden irse unos días de acampada para celebrar su último verano de instituto en un páramo llamado Infierno. Desde allí, mientras disfrutan de idílicos días se dan cuenta de un tráfico aéreo de aviones de guerra un tanto inquietante. Cuando vuelven a casa sus familias han desaparecido, los animales muertos,… una fuerza extranjera ha tomado el territorio y todo elpaís está en guerra. El grupo de jóvenes, liderado por Ellie, decide convertirse en una de las pocas resistencias libres que quedan en la ciudad.

Ahora que el invasor cree tener el país bajo control, ha llegado el momento de enviarle un mensaje claro, de asestarle un buen golpe. Por más que nos encontremos solos frente a un ejército, haremos pagar al enemigo por todo lo que ha hecho: arrebatarnos nuestras familias, nuestras casas, nuestras vidas... Y ahora a Corrie y a Kevin también. Desde el fondo del Infierno, el agreste lugar dondehemos encontrado refugio, Robyn, Fi, Homer, Lee, Chris y yo organizamos la resistencia. Puede que no seamos más que un puñado de críos; sin embargo, hemos demostrado que íbamos muy en serio. Pero cuando el peligro acecha, cuando la libertad está en juego, cuando se trata de salvar el pellejo, uno puede llegar a hacer cosas que nunca habría sospechado... Y TÚ, ¿DE QUÉ SERÁS CAPAZ CUANDO LLEGUE LA HORA DE LA VERDAD?
