WINNER OF THE GORDON BURN PRIZE 2019SHORTLISTED FOR THE ENCORE AWARD 2020From the author of This Is Memorial Device.â ˜A gasp-inducing thrill of a ride.â ™ i Independentâ ˜An exhilarating novel, burning with rage, danger and dark humour.â ™ Literary Reviewâ ˜Remarkable . . . demented brilliance.â ™ Scotland on SundayBelfast, 1970s: Sammy and his three friends live in an impoverished area of the city that has become the epicentre of a country seemingly intent on cannibalising itself. They love sharp clothes, a good drink, and the songs of Perry Como, whose commitment to clean living holds up a dissonant mirror to their own attempts to rise above their circumstances. They dream of a Free State, and their methods for achieving this are uncompromising. But For the Good Times is not just a novel about the IRA. It is about the heartbreak and devastation that commitment to â ˜the causeâ ™ can bring; of violence and betrayal, breakdown and rebirth.

*HIGHLY COMMENDED FOR BEST AUDIOBOOK OF THE YEAR AT THE TRUE CRIME AWARDS 2023* #39;A truly astonishing murder mystery – this is proper journalism #39; Jeremy Clarkson Following a long investigation by the world-famous Sunday Times Insight team, David Collins tells the truly unique story of a string of murder-suicides in north-west England and poses the terrifying question: are they the work of a serial killer who has been operating undetected since the mid-nineties? In 1996 and 1999, two elderly couples died in the small town of Wilmslow, Cheshire. In each case the husband was blamed for turning berserk and killing his wife using a horrifying level of violence. The police failed to make a link between the deaths – despite the similarities. That might have been the end of the matter. But when two coroner #39;s officers began to piece together the evidence, it revealed a pattern which may prove the existence of a sadistic attacker known as #39;the silver killer #39;. Using interviews with dozens of witnesses, including police investigators, forensic and crime scene experts, coroner #39;s officers and family members, the author pieces together the clues in an attempt to solve the mystery of what really happened. A gripping true-crime investigation, the book reveals how suspicions were aroused and set investigators on a new trail to uncover the truth. Collins, whose reporting helped the police to convict the serial killer Levi Bellfield of killing Milly Dowler, has written a brilliant account of a crime that nearly went undiscovered which is sure to become a classic of the genre.

Twenty years later, when George Orwell famously quit the Corporation, he decided he was done doing work that produces no result .Yet the BBC is now one of Britain s most beloved institutions. Stars once fainted at the microphone; now a select few spend their Saturdays waltzing for the nation s entertainment in front of studio cameras.

A WATERSTONES AND IRISH TIMES BOOK OF THE YEARA breathtaking exploration of Ukraine s past, present, and future, and a heartbreaking account of the war against Russia, written by a leading journalist who has lived and worked in Ukraine for over a decade. Vivid. Shocking. [Miller] brings a seasoned, personal perspective to his account of both the 16-month conflict and its wider roots. Daily Telegraph A beautiful blend of memoir, reportage and history...superb. Irish Times ...powerful and insightful...Miller provides a human dimension to a bloody conflict. Kirkus ReviewsWhen Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his unprovoked, full-scale invasion of Ukraine just before dawn on 24 February 2022, it marked his latest and most overt attempt to brutally conquer the country, and reshaped the world order. Christopher Miller, the Ukraine correspondent for the Financial Times and a foremost journalist covering the country, was there on the ground when the first Russian missiles struck and troops stormed over the border. But the seeds of Russia s war against Ukraine and the West were sown more than a decade earlier.This is the definitive, inside story of its long fight for freedom. Told through Miller s personal experiences, vivid front-line dispatches and illuminating interviews with unforgettable characters, The War Came To Us takes readers on a riveting journey through the key locales and pivotal events of Ukraine s modern history. From the coal-dusted, sunflower-covered steppe of the Donbas in the far east to the heart of the Euromaidan revolution camp in Kyiv; from the Black Sea shores of Crimea, where Russian troops stealthily annexed Ukraine s peninsula, to the bloody battlefields where Cossacks roamed before the Kremlin s warlords ruled with iron fists; and through the horror and destruction wrought by Russian forces in Bucha, Bakhmut, Mariupol, and beyond.With candor, wit and sensitivity, Miller captures Ukraine in all its glory: vast, defiant, resilient, and full of wonder. A breathtaking narrative that is at times both poignant and inspiring, The War Came To Us is the story of an American who fell in love with a foreign place and its people - and witnessed them do extraordinary things to escape the long shadow of their former imperial ruler and preserve their independence.

In telling the stories of several generations of one family, the author sketches the development of Czech society in the recent past. His version of history is replete with humour and hyperbole, as well as emotional depth. The protagonists live in difficult times. The book observes in some detail more than fifty years of history, opening in the pre-war period, giving a view of the plight of the German minority that remained in Czechoslovakia after the war, proceeding to the Russian occupation of the late Sixties and the subsequent persecution, before taking in 1989 s Velvet Revolution and beyond. The Invincible Seven received an enthusiastic response from critics and readers alike; it has been through two editions in the Czech Republic and has also been published in Slovenia (Mladinska Knjiga, 2005) and Germany (Piper, 2006). Martin Fahrner talks about the most important things in life in a manner that entertains and moves us. His claim that it s worth playing for the good guys has the power to convince sceptics. In today s world, that s no small message. (From the Preface by Martin Reiner, Czech publisher and award-winning writer) Autor vypráví příběhy několika generací své rodiny a sleduje tak poměrně podrobně více jak padesát let českého poválečného vývoje. Počínaje dnes hodně diskutovanou situací německé menšiny, která zůstala v poválečném Československu, ruskou okupací na konci šedesátých let a následnou perzekucí, dostává se až k Sametové revoluci v roce 1989 a za ni. Kniha Steiner aneb Co jsme dělali se dočkala výtečného přijetí čtenáři i kritiky a vyšla v češtině již ve dvou vydáních. V německém překladu ji vydalo prestižní nakladatelství Piper, ve slovinském pak Mladinskaja Knjiga. Nyní vychází v překladu do angličtiny. Z předmluvy Martina Reinera, českého nakladatele knihy a oceňovaného spisovatele, k anglickému vydání: Martin Fahrner mluví o nejdůležitějších věcech života tak, že baví i dojímá. Má sílu, která dokáže přesvědčit i velké skeptiky, že se v životě vyplatí hrát na straně dobra. Což - v současném kontextu - není malé poselství.

In The Unaccountability Machine, Dan Davies examines why markets, institutions and even governments systematically generate outcomes that everyone involved claims not to want. He casts new light on the writing of Stafford Beer, a legendary economist who argued in the 1950s that we should regard organisations as artificial intelligences, capable of taking decisions that are distinct from the intentions of their members.Management cybernetics was Beer s science of applying self-regulation in organisational settings, but it was largely ignored - with the result being the political and economic crises that that we see today. With his signature blend of cynicism and journalistic rigour, Davies looks at what s gone wrong, and what might have been, had the world listened to Stafford Beer when it had the chance.

From the murky origins of tax havens and gambling centres in the British Virgin Islands and Gibraltar to the influence of oligarchs in the British establishment, Butler to the World is the story of how we became a nation of Jeeveses - and how it doesn t have to be this way.

â ˜An enthralling guide to one of the worldâ ™s great cities â “ that blends history and insights into the present day from one of the most astute commentators on the politics of Istanbul PETER FRANKOPAN A love letter to this ancient capital THE TIMESWalking along the crumbling defensive walls of Istanbul and talking to those he passes, Alexander Christie-Miller finds a distillation of the countryâ ™s history, a mirror of its present, and a shadow of its future.Caught between two seas and two continents, Istanbul lies at the centre of the most pressing challenges of our time. With environmental decay, rapacious development and tightening authoritarianism straining its social fabric to breaking point, it represents the precipitous moment civilizations around the world are currently facing.In and around its crumbling Byzantine-era fortifications, Alexander Christie-Miller meets people who are experiencing the looming crisis and fighting back, sometimes triumphing despite the odds.To the City seamlessly blends two narratives: the story of Turkeyâ ™s tumultuous recent past told through the lives of those who live around the walls, and the story of Ottoman Sultan Mehmet IIâ ™s siege and capture of the city in 1453. That event still looms large in Turkey, as Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan like a latter-day sultan invokes its memory as part of his effort to transform the country in an echo of its imperial past.This is a meditation on the soul of Istanbul, a paean to its resilience and fortitude. Walk with Christie-Miller and see the danger, beauty and hope. Deftly weaving together Istanbulâ ™s past and present, Christie-Millerâ ™s work is a beautifully written, nuanced examination of a city whose story is so often told in binaries Louise Callaghan, Turkey and Middle East correspondent for the Sunday Times and author of Father of Lions Speak

The Fall of Boris Johnson is the fascinating full account of how the prime minister lost his grip on power. Sebastian Payne, Whitehall Editor for the Financial Times, tells the essential behind-the-scenes story, charting the series of scandals that felled Johnson: from the blocked suspension of Owen Paterson to Partygate, and, finally, the Chris Pincher allegations, which were the final death blow. This is the full narrative of the betrayals, rivalries and resignations that led to the dramatic Conservative coup.With unparalleled access to those who were in the room when key decisions were made, Payne tells of the miscalculations and mistakes that led to Borisâ ™s downfall, only two years after he first entered No.10 Downing Street. This is a gripping and timely look at how power is gained, wielded and lost in Britain today.

Shortlisted for the Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award, and one of The Observerâ ™s â ˜Thirty books to help us understand the worldâ ™. Are we really to blame for the climate crisis? Over 70 per cent of global emissions come from the same 100 organisations, but fossil-fuel companies have taken no responsibility themselves. Instead, they have waged a 30-year campaign to blame individuals. The result has been disastrous for our planet. In The New Climate War, renowned scientist Michael E. Mann argues that all is not lost. He draws the battle lines between the people and the polluters â ” fossil-fuel companies, right-wing plutocrats, and petro-states â ” and outlines a plan for forcing our governments and corporations to wake up and make real change.

But his reign is soon to be torn apart by violence, revenge and tragedy ...Sir Thomas Malory s Le Morte d Arthur made the legend of King Arthur immortal. Now Peter Ackroyd s retelling brings his timeless story of love, heroism and betrayal to new life for our times.Sir Thomas Malory (c.1405-1471) was a knight and estate owner in the mid 15th century, who spent many years in prison for political crimes as well as robbery. He wrote Le Morte d Arthur, the first great English prose epic, while imprisoned in Newgate. Peter Ackroyd (b. 1949) is an award-winning writer and historian.

We all know what it s like to experience the disappointments and sorrows of life. Unexpected challenges like layoffs, divorce, illness, and the death of a loved one can leave us hurting and isolated. Add to that the unending anxiety we feel at the state of the world - political strife and global upheavals - and we end up with a recipe for... joy? Yes, says journalist Steven Petrow, who has lived through all of those things, and arrived at a surprising conclusion: Joy is always present - in our everyday routines, in ties to those we care about, even in our grief. It may be easier to see and feel it during the good times, but we can learn to find joy even in the darkest days. All we need is a road map - and now we have one. In The Joy You Make, Petrow explores the many expressions of joy and shows readers how to find, cultivate, and share it. He takes us on a journey from the darkness of the Arctic to a frenetic cancer ward in Manhattan, a trip that includes his parents deaths, the breakup of his marriage, and his sister s cancer diagnosis. Combining his personal experiences with research and expert interviews, Petrow asks (and answers) the question: What if there was a way to find the joy in everything? Come join him on his search, and make it yours.

But Hepburn also had huge sadness in her life: two failed marriages, a broken engagement, and the crushing disappointment that occupied her triumph in My Fair Lady.

From her early years as an ingénue to her status as an icon of elegance, in her Oscar-winning performance for Roman Holiday and the career high of Breakfast at Tiffany s, Hepburn s star quality resonates across the globe ⠓ even so long after her death. Few stars before or since are as beloved as Audrey Hepburn and The Little Guide to Audrey Hepburn details why. My appearance is accessible to everyone. With hair tied in a bun, big sunglasses and black dress, every woman can look like me.
