When a brutal attack leaves Toby Kitteridge's mother dead and his father barely alive, Toby returns to his home in Suffolk.

Damning evidence points to Ward's guilt but Daniel is convinced of his innocence, and Daniel's wife Miriam offers her forensics expertise to expose a group of pathologists who may have withheld information from their autopsy reports. As the case progresses, Daniel feels compelled to help Toby, who is too distraught to investigate the attack on his parents. And when Toby's father becomes a prime suspect for murder, Daniel faces two of the greatest challenges of his life. One mistake in London and a blameless man will be hanged. One mistake in Ipswich and Toby's father will be sent to prison for the rest of his life . . .

Whose Sovereignty?
In this carefully argued case for a federal Europe, Céline Spector proposes that national sovereignty has become increasingly untenable as mechanisms perpetuating fiscal, social and environmental inequities transcend borders. Indeed, in the face of Russian aggression and America’s apparent retreat from its protective role, strengthening European integration has become essential and federalization appears increasingly necessary. Although the concept of the sovereign people has become symbolic within nation-states, Spector show that it has become devoid of substantive political force. Rather than lamenting the decline of direct democracy, she advocates for a democratized European Union that could redefine popular sovereignty and protect human rights. The transformation of state sovereignty need not signal democracy’s end or the subordination of politics to law. Instead, it could facilitate new forms of political community at the European level and enable a reconceptualization of popular sovereignty beyond the nation-state.
Femme Feral
EVER FELT READY TO HOWL?
Hyper-competent start up CFO Ellie is 46-year-old and like most women, is already juggling too much. Daughter's not talking to her, husband's not listening to her, and she's got a promotion coming up at work. It's an inconvenient time to be beset by mid-life symptoms: coarse hair in new places, hot flushes, insomnia, losing time . . . finding bloodstains on all her clothing, howling at the moon.
Her doctor diagnoses perimenopause. But it's another 28-day cycle that's taking hold. One involving fur, and teeth, and a not insignificant amount of rage.
Suddenly the troubles in her life - hot flushes, thankless family, spiralling to-do list, oblivious husband, the w*nker promoted above her at work - seem almost . . . bite-size.
A deeply gratifying, highly addictive and provocative read, Femme Feral is an exhilarating expression of feminine rage, with a warning: If you swallow your anger, it's sure to come back with a bite.

'[An] elegant and forensic double portrait setting Greene, that sociologist of sin, alongside the Kremlin's golden boy Philby, with the lengthening shadow of the cold war falling between them ... both his subjects make for terrific copy ... Part of the pleasure of Verkaik's book is the vicarious glide through their parallel rake's progresses.' - Pratinav Anil, Guardian'A wholly fascinating account of an extraordinary friendship. Robert Verkaik's nuanced and insightful portraits of these two highly complicated individuals are brilliantly convincing.' - William Boyd'A superb spy book. This masterpiece of forensic research asks troubling new questions about two of Britain's most mysterious and famously complex figures.' - Richard J Aldrich, author of GCHQ'Verkaik's fascinating non-fiction account of these 20th-century icons reads like a thriller.' Daily MirrorIn The Writer and the Traitor, bestselling historian Robert Verkaik sheds a completely fresh light on the enigmatic relationship between two giants of the twentieth century: Graham Greene, the internationally lauded novelist, and Kim Philby, the intelligence-officer-turned-traitor. The two men met as MI6 officers in London, joining forces in a deadly secret war to defeat the Nazis. But Greene unexpectedly resigned just days before British intelligence's greatest triumph - D-Day - and he used his experience in the intelligence services as a backdrop for his novels Our Man in Havana and The Human Factor and the screenplay of The Third Man. Lurking within the pages lay suspicions of his friend and former colleague, with characters and plots echoing Philby's life. Was Philby the real Third Man? Did Greene's work contain coded messages and warnings of betrayal to M16? Where did Greene's ultimate loyalties lie and who was he really working fo? n this highly revealing book, based on astonishing new archive material, Verkaik takes readers on a mesmerising journey from pre-war Vienna to Cold War Moscow, via wartime Sierra Leone and London in the Blitz. This is more than just a riveting tale of espionage; it is the story of a mysterious friendship that survived against the odds. Ultimately The Writer and the Traitor explores the perplexing question that nobody yet has answered: why did one of Britain's most famous writers remain loyal to Britain's most hated traitor?
