Hands Down
THRILLERS THAT RACE FROM THE VERY FIRST PAGE...
An old friend in need, a dangerous conspiracy – a new case for Sid Halley…
Sid Halley, former British jump racing champion and private detective, is not having a good time. His wife Marina has decided she needs some time out of their marriage to think about the future and Sid is devastated. But then Gary Bremner, an ex-jockey trainer, calls him to ask for his help – he is being threatened by someone in the racing world and he needs a friend he can trust. However, the very next morning, Gary’s stable yard is torched, horses killed, and Gary has disappeared.
Determined to uncover the truth and to help his friend, Sid starts to investigate. He soon finds himself embroiled in a conspiracy that cuts to the very heart of the integrity of British horse racing, and then danger comes closer to home than ever.
Can Sid get to the bottom of what’s going on before he too becomes a victim, while, at the same time, saving his marriage?

Big Caesars and Little Caesars
Who said that dictatorship was dead? The world today is full of Strong Men and their imitators. Caesarism is alive and well. Yet in modern times it's become a strangely neglected subject. Ferdinand Mount opens up a fascinating exploration of how and why Caesars seize power and why they fall.
There is a comforting illusion shared by historians and political commentators from Fukuyama back to Macaulay, Mill and Marx, that history progresses in a nice straight line towards liberal democracy or socialism, despite the odd hiccup.
In reality, every democracy, however sophisticated or stable it may look, has been attacked or actually destroyed by a would-be Caesar, from Ancient Greece to the present day. Marx was wrong. This Caesarism is not an absurd throwback, it is an ever-present danger.
There are Big Caesars who set out to achieve total social control and Little Caesars who merely want to run an agreeable kleptocracy without opposition: from Julius Caesar and Oliver Cromwell through Napoleon and Bolivar, to Mussolini, Salazar, De Gaulle and Trump. The saga of Boris Johnson and Brexit frequently crops up in this author's narrative as a vivid, if Lilliputian instance of the same phenomenon.
The final part of this book describes how and why would-be Caesars come to grief, from the Gunpowder Plot to Trump's march on the Capitol and the ejection of Boris Johnson by his own MPs, and ends with a defence of the grubby glories of parliamentary politics and a thought-provoking roadmap of the way back to constitutional government.

The Food of Sicily
In this all-new cookbook from Fabrizia Lanza, one of the world’s greatest food cultures is distilled in 75 recipes for the home cook, plus a loving tribute to its ingredients, passions, influences, and history
Tucked away on an estate in the countryside south of Palermo is the Anna Tasca Lanza Cooking School, a unique center dedicated to preserving and sharing the great food culture of Sicily. The spirit of the school, now run by Fabrizia Lanza, the founder’s daughter and scion of a renowned family of winemakers that goes back generations, is what makes Lanza’s The Food of Sicily such a singular cookbook—not just a collection of recipes and techniques, but a vibrant and beautifully photographed profile of the land, the people, the history, and so much more.
On every page, in every recipe and note, the author captures the distinct taste of Sicily. How the simplest antipasti, brightly seasoned with nothing but lemon or vinegar, open the appetite—like a classic Octopus Salad or dish of Sautéed Black Olives. The little fried somethings—like an arancine or panelle—are easy, welcome, and nourishing. The Fresh Cavatelli, Pasta with Eggplant and Tomatoes, Bucatini with Sardines and Wild Fennel, and the eye-opening Anelletti Timballo explain why Sicilians are the biggest pasta eaters in the world. Festive meat dishes—such as Lamb-Stuffed Pastry, an Easter staple, or Grilled Sausage with Bay Leaves and Onions—are festive because the moment it’s holiday time, Sicilians everywhere head outside and fire up their grills. And for a people known for their passion for sweets, some famous Sicilian treats—Watermelon Pudding, Lemon Granita, Rolled Fig Cookies, and the pinnacle of desserts, the elaborate Sicilian Cake with Ricotta Cream and Marzipan. Along the way, the author delves into everything from cheese, couscous, and olives to Amaro and the importance of bitterness.
Visitors to Sicily often sense it to be a place unlike anywhere else—lost in time and a little bit secretive. The Food of Sicily opens a bright window on it, celebrating this wonderful food culture while honoring everything that makes it special.

In un futuro non meglio specificato, il capitano Teodor Galassia, awenturiero del cosmo, vaga nello spazio a bordo della sua raffazzonata astronave, la 'Pulce dell'Universo'. Ma Galassia un beone, un avido di soldi e incapace di guidare l'astronave, che quindi affidata alle abili mani del piccolo Ronnie, uno scaltro bambino appartenente alla razza dei Cinesi Lunari. Cosi, mentre Ronne deve vedersela fra rischi di collisione con altre navi spaziali, attacchi di topi robot, aggressione di pirati pelati", il capitano insegue il sogno di trovare la tanto desiderata "cartafurba", la mappa che permette di trovare il varco al mitico universo parallelo popolato da pianeti d'oro e d'argento. Fra mille peripezie spaziali, incontri con i personaggi pi fantastici e affascinanti, riusciranno i nostri eroi a trovare il "tesoro"? Con stile brillante, gli autori hanno saputo dosare e intrecciare spiegazioni didascaliche e situazioni umorstiche dando forma ad una storia molto piacevole e divertente., in un'unica parola, spaziale. Et di lettura: da 10 anni."

Fuite Verrs l´Amour
La jeunesse et l'innocence contre une grosse somme d'argent : voil l'odieux marché que vient de conclure le beau-pre d'Ivana. Criblé de dettes, il compte la vendre lord Hanford, un riche débauché. La vendre comme un pur-sang, comme une esclave.. . Une seule solution : la fuite. En cette année 1812, elle erre donc dans les rues de Londres, la recherche d'un emploi. On prétend que le hasard fait bien les choses. En l'occurrence, il apparaît sous les traits du comte de Lorimer, jeune et brillant officier. Il travaille pour le ministre de la Guerre et confie Ivana une mission capitale : surveiller un espion français qui, sur les ordres de Napoléon, projette d'assassiner le Prince Régent. Ivana n'a-t-elle fui un danger que pour en affronter d'autres, bien plus effrayants ? Son honneur et sa liberté étaient en jeu ; présent, c'est sa vie qui est en péril. Le comte va-t-il vraiment la sacrifier ? Pourtant, elle avait cru lire dans ses yeux une certaine tendresse...
