The King of Diamonds
The thrilling story of a brazen, uncatchable jewel thief who roamed the homes of Dallas high society—and a window into the dark secrets lurking beneath the surface of the Swinging Sixties.As a string of high profile jewel thefts went unsolved during the Swinging Sixties, the press dubbed the elusive thief "the King of Diamonds" because he eluded police and the FBI for more than a decade. Like Cary Grant in "To Catch a Thief," the King was so bold that he tip-toed into the homes of millionaires while they were watching television, or hosting parties. He hid in their closets. And dared to smoke a cigarette while they were sleeping not far away. Rena Pederson, then a young reporter withUPI, started following the elusive thief while she managed the night desk. With gymnastic skill, this thief climbed trees or crawled across rooftops to get into sprawling mansions. He took jewels from heiresses, oil kings, corporate CEOs. These were not just some of the richest people in Texas; they were some of the richest people of their time. Scotland Yard and Interpol were on the look-out. But the thief was never caught and the jewels never recovered. To follow the tracks of the thief, Rena has interviewed more than two hundred people, from veteran cops to strippers. She went to pawn shops, Las Vegas casinos, and a Mafia hangout—and discovered that beneath the glittering façade of Dallas debutante parties was a world of sex trafficking, illegal gambling, and political graft. When one of the leading suspects was found dead in highly unusual circumstances, the story darkened. High society crashed head-first into Mickey Spillane. The odd psychological aspects of the The King of Diamonds give us different kind of crime story. Detectives were stumped: Why did the thief break into houses when his targets were inside, increasing the risk of being captured? Why did he hide in their closets? Many times, he was so close he could hear their breathing as they slept. As one socialite put it, “It was a very peculiar business.”

How to Stop Snapping at the People You Love (As Well As the Ones You Don’t)
"Compassionate, insightful and incredibly practical. Anna Mathur transforms the way we understand anger" - Abby Rawlinson, author of Reclaiming You
Your rage isn't a character flaw. It's a message.You didn’t used to be like this, did you?The sharp words, the slammed drawer, the guilt that follows. I’ve been there too – wondering how I became someone who snaps at the people I love the most.What if I told you that your anger isn’t bad and it isn’t something you need to hide? For too long we’ve been taught to bottle it up, to keep smiling, to push it down. But anger is normal. Anger is necessary. And when you understand it, anger can become one of your greatest allies.In this book, I’ll help you to see rage differently, not as something shameful, but as a signal of what you need. We’ll explore where it comes from, how to catch it sooner, to repair faster, and to use its energy to create change rather than damage.Your anger doesn’t make you broken, it makes you human. And when you learn to listen to it, rage can become one of your greatest sources of power, protection and connection."Essential reading for all recovering people-pleasers!" - Emma Reed Turrell, author of What Am I Missing?"A compassionate and insightful book that brings understanding to a subject so often misunderstood and wrapped in shame" - Simon Gilham, author of Stop Lying to Yourself

On Friendship
'A witty, heartfelt but intelligent celebration of what it means to have great friends.' The Times 'Delightful.' Guardian 'The overwhelming tone of the book is joy, along with an optimism about friendship's enduring essence.' Sunday Times A Times Literary Supplement Book of the YearFrom the bestselling author of Mayflies and Caledonian Road, a heart-enriching celebration of what makes us great: our friends.If we are lucky in our lives, our friendships will be rich and varied. They will be shared with those with two legs, with four legs, with whiskers or clean faces; they will come dressed in the simplicity of childhood or the professional attire of adult life; some will span decades, and some will be only fleeting. But the thing they will all have in common is that life is not only unimaginable - but unimagined - without them.In these gorgeous personal reflections, Andrew O'Hagan explores friendship through music and poetry, memory and history, illuminating the many ways and reasons that people come together, and how our lives are all the better because we do.Andrew O'Hagan's novel Caledonian Road was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 31/03/2024
Parallel Path
'Touching, thoughtful and frank - Jenn is a wonderful writer' David Nicholls'The best kind of walking companion' Guardian 'Wonderful for taking on a walk yourself' Financial Times'Exceptionally good company. I loved it' Mark HaddonBurnt-out and in need of retreat, Jenn Ashworth emerged from lockdown with a compulsive need to walk - and to walk away. Armed with little more than the knowledge imparted by a two-day orienteering course and a set of maps, she embarked on the most epic of English walks: Wainwright's Coast to Coast. Guided not just by Wainwright's writing but also by daily letters from her friend Clive - facing an epic journey of his own - Jenn's pilgrimage soon became more than just walking: a chance to reconnect and excavate, to reflect and meditate, to re-engage with the act of caring for others and for one self. Arresting in its unbridled honesty, The Parallel Path is a moving journey through the ever-changing scenery of the North - and the internal landscape of a life in turmoil.
Contrapposto
'A book of profundity, humanity and ravishing beauty - the only kind of book I want to read' - ANDREW SEAN GREER 'Glorious and captivating, with Eggers' signature humour and precision, Contrapposto tells a big and big-hearted story that counter-positions exquisitely the pain and exhilarations of love and the creative impulse. I loved this novel' - LILY KING'This book speaks to my heart. With wit, wisdom, and deep empathy, Contrapposto asks all the hard questions that haunt and enliven a creative life - about art and beauty, about commerce and class, about the cost of passion and the price of success' - RUTH OZEKICricket is just a shy kid who likes drawing when he first meets Olympia. She's older, more confident; she bullies him into some light vandalism and instantly he's in love. When they're together, they talk about their futures, how they're going to travel the world, the beauty and rapture of art. Then those futures start to arrive in unexpected ways, the years and decades pile up between them, the art world seduces and disappoints and frustrates them. And they have to figure out, again and again, what it is to be an artist, and who and what to love. This is a wild and beautiful novel about two friends who believe they can change the world, if only they can start their own movement, dodge charlatans, remain open-eyed and open-hearted, avoid going mad, avoid dying young of rare cancers, stay true to their ideals and never tire of beauty. Not easy, but not impossible, either.

Driven
A Sunday Times bestselling inside look at the ultra-competitive world of Formula One and trailblazer Susie Wolff's 20-year career, taking readers from the driver's seat and the F1 paddock all the way to the future of the sport.
From the moment her parents first sat her in a go-kart, Susie Wolff felt it - the thrill of speed, the spark of something bigger. Her dream of one day racing Formula One cars grew and grew, as did her determination. But Formula One is one of the most mentally and physically gruelling sports in the world. Turning a corner can feel like four times your body weight is pressing against you. You need mental grit and physical heft. And as Susie rose through the ranks of motorsport, one truth became impossible to ignore: she was almost always the only woman on the grid.
Despite challenges, and after years of sacrifice and doubt, Susie became the first woman in more than two decades to take part in a Formula One race weekend. When her racing chapter ended, she realised she wasn't ready to walk away from the sport she loved. And so she turned her mind to first transforming a struggling Formula E team and, later, leading F1 Academy, inspiring young women who have discovered the thrill of speed via Netflix's Drive to Survive, to progress to the highest ranks of Formula 1.
In Driven, Susie lifts the bonnet for the first time on her extraordinary life, including her relationship with her husband Toto. From the driver's seat of the racing car to the heart of the F1 paddock, this is a rare, first-hand view into the inner workings of motorsport at its highest level, told with clarity and grace.
Protecting The Countryside
'From the beginning CPREunderstood that ordinary countryside matters: the fields beyond the village,the hedgerows along a lane, the footpaths where people walk and cyclists ride.'Simon Murray, CPRE Chair. Over the past century,unprecedented economic, social and political changes have transformed theEnglish rural landscape, bringing new housing, towns, roads, infrastructure andenterprise. Amongst the environmentalorganisations seeking to manage these changes The Campaign to Protect RuralEngland (CPRE) led the charge. Alarmed by the willy-nilly development of roads,new unsympathetic buildings, and the pylons and telephone lines of the 'wirescape',CPRE's founders believed development must be brought under political control. Preserving rural England, it insisted, was the responsibility of local andnational government, assisted by experts and backed by public opinion. In this new history ofCPRE, written to mark its first centenary, Matthew Kelly traces the developmentof the organisation and shows how by responding to the demands placed on ruralEngland, it became a more democratic, inclusive, and environmental organisation,and in turn more representative of the spirit of the country.
