Dexter Procter and the Case of the Disappearing Doctor
Dexter Procter, the world's youngest-ever doctor, is back for a follow-up medical mystery!All is not well in Dexter's world. His granny has broken her leg, his friends Rupi and Otto have been expelled from school, there's a strange asthma epidemic he can't get on top of, and slimy politician Barbara Burnhall is trying to shut down everything fun at the hospital. And then his boss, Dr Marigold, goes missing! What Dexter doesn't realize is that he and his friends are about to uncover a dastardly plot involving kidnappings, earthquakes and a demolition ball. He doesn't know what's about to hit him... (Spoiler alert: it's a demolition ball.)Adam Kay and Henry Paker have created a second Dexter Procter mystery that is funnier and even more disgusting than the No. 1 bestselling Dexter Procter the 10-Year-Old Doctor. (And that was pretty disgusting.)Dexter Procter and the Case of the Disappearing Doctor is soon to be a major BBC show.

Hugh Trevor-Roper
FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE SECRET LIFE OF JOHN LE CARRÉ'A fine and serious biography which, on page after page, has made me laugh out loud' Sunday Telegraph'It is a long time since I have enjoyed a book as much as this one' Robert Harris, Sunday Times'It is impossible to praise Sisman's biography too highly' A.N. Wilson, ObserverClever, witty and cruel, Hugh Trevor-Roper was one of the most gifted scholars of his generation. As a young intelligence officer, he broke one of the German codes while taking a bath during an air raid. After the war, his solo investigation into the death of Hitler made him famous in his early thirties and rich enough to buy a Bentley. Ten years later he was appointed the most senior history professor at Oxford. He married into the aristocracy and was acknowledged as one of the most brilliant intellectuals of his time. But he failed to write the 'big book' expected of him and tainted his reputation when in old age he erroneously authenticated the forged 'Hitler Diaries'. The tragicomedy of his tenure as Master of Peterhouse forms a fitting finale to the story of a full and varied life.
The Kind Company of Others
A poet’s skill lies in their ability to distil complex themes into a few paragraphs; to pick out the fundamental quality in people that make us unique; they can describe nature in a way that makes us see its majesty. The poet traverses contents and political divides; they help us understand where we have come from which in turn allows us to figure out where we are going. And no one does this better than Alexander McCall Smith. He has brought – through his novels – many wonderful characters to vivid life and entertained readers all over the globe. And in his third collection of poetry, he guides the reader by the hand and takes them through time and place exploring the majestic themes of nature and the complexities of relationships and what it is that makes us human with his trademark warmth and humour.
Broxy Kennels Fort, Souterrain and Surrounding Landscape, Perth
Archaeological excavation of almost the entirety of Broxy Kennels Fort to the north of Perth, was undertaken in advance of a new road development. It revealed a multivallate fortified settlement on a hill overlooking the River Tay. The fort constructed in the 6th century BC initially comprised two ditches that encircled the hill with a north-east entranceway that led to the interior. Around the late 5th-early 4th centuries BC, parts of the settlement’s defences were altered to accommodate a souterrain constructed into one of the silted-up ditches. The alteration necessitated a further short ditch either side of the entrance, followed by a final outer ditch that encircled the hill. Other changes within the enclosure may also have occurred at this time with material from clearance of structures being dumped in the ditches. After a short hiatus, an unenclosed settlement within the interior of the fort persisted from the 4th century BC until around the late 1st century AD. Other than traces of sporadic activity from the early medieval period to the post-medieval era, the site was to all intents and purposes lost to the plough.

Surreal
Using previously undiscovered material, Surreal tells the riveting story of Gala Dalí,(1894-1982) who broke away from the her cultured but penurious background in pre-Revolutionary Russia to live in Paris with both France''s most famous poet, Paul Éluard, and artist Max Ernst. By the time she met the budding artist Salvador Dali in 1929, Gala was known as the Mother of Surrealism. She rapidly became his mentor and protector, marrying him in 1934 and subsequently engineering their vast fortune. At a time when artists were celebrities, Gala acted as the ambassador of the Surrealist movement, spreading its popularity across the globe. She was the survivor of two world wars, the Russian revolution and the Spanish Civil War, and lived between France, Spain and the U.S. Gala was a heroine whose originality captivated people wherever she went, and her life story has everything : glamour; drama; true love, twisted love; ambition; money; art; defiance and daring,. In this vivid, detailed rendering, Michele Gerber Klein has brought Gala out of the shadows to reveal a charismatic figure who played a pivotal role in the art world, yet has never received the full recognition she deserves.
Maybe I'm Amazed
?A BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK?'BRILLIANT' ADRIAN CHILES'THIS BOOK CONTAINS MAGIC' CAITLIN MORAN'ENTRANCING, HEARTBREAKING, UPLIFTING' MARINA HYDEIn this extraordinary memoir, a father tells the story of how music has opened up the world to his son, one song at a time. Obsessed with music since he was a child, John Harris had no idea that he was in fact preparing himself for the greatest challenge of his life. But so it transpired. When his son James was born, and three years later diagnosed with autism, music became a source of precious connection and endless wonder for both of them. Maybe I'm Amazed describes how the music of The Beatles, Kraftwerk, Funkadelic, The Velvet Underground, Amy Winehouse and many more were soon woven into the fabric of James's life, becoming an essential part of who he is. It takes us through the struggles of raising an autistic child in a prejudiced world, and uncovers a hidden history of neurodivergence and creativity that casts new light on why notes, chords and lyrics speak so powerfully to the human mind. Anyone who has fallen in love with a band or heard their life reflected back to them by a song will recognise themselves in the story of this father and his son. And in considering the intense and transcendent way James absorbs and connects with music, it has lessons in listening and living for us all.
Runaway Joe
AN INVESTIGATION INTO ONE OF THE OLDEST UNSOLVED CASES ON THE FBI'S BOOKS, SPANNING SIX DECADES AND THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. 1967. ROCHESTER, NEW YORK. At his son's fifth birthday party, Joseph Maloney was alleged to have poisoned his wife. While awaiting trial in the psychiatric wing of a Rochester hospital, he escaped and vanished. Years later, a charming stranger calling himself Michael O'Shea surfaced in Dublin. Claiming roots in the west of Ireland, he married a local woman and sold his garage business to buy a grand country estate. For years he lived as a country gentleman and worked at the pinnacle of Ireland's film industry - until a US extradition treaty exposed his true identity. Arrested in 1985, Maloney escaped justice again when his trial collapsed on a technicality. He fled Ireland, leaving US and Irish investigators clueless as to his whereabouts - until an RTÉ Documentary on One podcast picked up his trail decades later. Runaway Joe is the story of a man who reinvented himself with chilling ease - a portrait of a remorseless manipulator whose acts left devastation across continents.

HRANICA MEDZI NÁDEJOU A SEBAKLAMOM SLOVENSKÉHO KLASIKA
Nemýlia sa tí, ktorí v básnikovi Miroslavovi Válkovi (1927 – 1991) vidia deziluzívneho analytika ľudskej situácie. Ako analytik preukazoval zmysel nielen pre veci skryté, ale aj pre tie skrývané, ktoré ľudia nechcú ukazovať pred inými. Možno preto, lebo sa to nesluší, ale určite tiež preto, že by tým odhalili svoje zraniteľné miesta. A hoci Válek začínal očarený krásou a duchovnosťou sveta, pribúdajúcimi skúsenosťami sa z ilúzií o láske, dobre či spravodlivosti nedobrovoľne vyliečil...
Ján Gavura
Miroslav Válek (1927 – 1991) vydal básnické zbierky Dotyky (1959), Príťažlivosť (1961), Nepokoj (1963) a Milovanie v husej koži (1965), ku ktorým neskôr pribudla poéma Slovo (1976). Ďalšia Válkova bibliografia odráža paradoxnosť doby a výnimočnosť autorovho postavenia v slovenskej literatúre a kultúre. Jeho tvorba sa stala predmetom početných reedícií a výberov, do ktorých boli doplnené básne z autorových začiatkov (známe tiež ako výber Domáca úloha a cyklus Zápalky), ako aj dva rozsiahle cykly zo záveru básnikovej tvorby (Obrazáreň a Z vody). Aktuálne vydanie v Luxusnej knižnici vychádza z edície Miroslav Válek Básnické dielo (Kalligram – Ústav slovenskej literatúry SAV, Bratislava, 2005, ed. Valér Mikula) a Miroslav Válek Domáca úloha (FACE – Fórum alternatívnej kultúry a vzdelávania, 2018, ed. Peter Tollarovič).

A végzős gimnazista Lovász Petra egy ködös novemberi délutánon futni indul a balatonfüredi Tagore sétányon, de soha nem ér haza. A rendőrség hiába kutatja át utána a tópartot, csupán egy fél pár cipőt találnak; a lánynak nyoma veszett.

Bogdán főhadnagy Adorján Mátéval és a férfi pszichiáter kedvesével, Lendvay Laurával karöltve azonnal beleveti magát az ügy felgöngyölítésébe. Nyomokból és gyanúsítottakból nincs hiány, ám úgy tűnik, mind zsákutcába vezet. Vajon hová tűnhetett a lány? Egyáltalán életben van-e még? És ha igen, sikerül a rendőrségnek időben a nyomára bukkannia?
