The Cost of Trust
This is the story of one of the most horrifying scandals in British medical history. In 2003, Deborah Douglas was diagnosed with breast cancer by Ian Paterson, a surgeon based in the Midlands. Over the next seven years, Deborah placed her trust in Paterson, undergoing a mastectomy, reconstructive surgery, and extensive chemotherapy under his care – only to discover that her cancer diagnosis had been exaggerated and her treatment was totally unnecessary. Deborah was not alone; in 2017, Paterson, infamously dubbed the ‘Butcher Surgeon,’ by the media, was convicted of 17 counts of wounding with intent and three counts of unlawful wounding and sentenced to 20 years in prison. These were just a fraction of his victims. He deceived thousands of patients during his tenure as both an NHS and private surgeon.The Cost of Trust is a shocking work of investigative journalism that unveils the true extent of this medical atrocity. Authored by Deborah Douglas with writer Tracy King – also a casualty of Paterson – the book provides an in-depth look at the devastating impact of Paterson’s actions and the work it took to bring him to justice. Deborah Douglas led the campaign to expose Paterson’s misconduct and the failures of the medical authorities that allowed him to operate unchecked. In the wake of Paterson’s conviction, the Chief Coroner has opened inquests into the deaths of 54 patients treated by Paterson with more deaths being investigated. The NHS and private healthcare systems will answer accusations of systemic failures that enabled such a grievous breach of trust.The Cost of Trust is a compelling David vs. Goliath narrative and a crucial work of non-fiction.

Gordon Brown
'A serious and consequential analysis of a serious and consequential politician' Alastair Campbell'Fascinating and well written' Matthew Parris'Tells us more than we have ever known about this highly significant figure' Shelagh FogartyA compelling new biography of former prime minister Gordon Brown, a dominant figure in the Labour Party for five decades. More than fifteen years since he left Downing Street, Brown continues to wield significant influence among the current generation. Polls regularly suggest he is the most popular living former prime minister. Yet his short time in Number 10 ended in bitterness and election defeat. In James Macintyre’s fascinating new biography, he provides a definitive portrait of a true political giant. Based on unique access to Brown’s personal archive and interviews with his family, friends, colleagues and political rivals - including Tony Blair, David Cameron and Alastair Campbell, among many others - Macintyre reveals the private man behind the public figure. We gain unprecedented insight into his family life, his faith and what it is that still motivates him. From his political birth as a teenaged student at Edinburgh University to his ongoing efforts to improve children’s education around the world, Brown’s passionate engagement in politics remains undimmed. Macintyre takes the reader to the heart of the action, providing fresh perspectives on key events in Brown’s career, whether it’s the battle for the Labour leadership in 1994, the invasion of Iraq, the challenges of coping with the global financial crash in 2008 or the Scottish independence and Brexit referendums. Gordon Brown: Power with Purpose not only outlines Brown’s formidable legacy but shows how, even as he reaches the age of seventy-five, there is still a powerful purpose in all he does that can inspire anyone who wants to create meaningful change.

If you don't find the right person to have a baby with, should you become a parent alone? In Single, Nicola explores being un-partnered in a world designed for couples, and how to find the joy in the life that you are already living.
