With only three books, Laura Wilson has established herself as one of the very few heirs apparent to the psychological novels of Patricia Highsmith and Minette Walters. Wilson uses the device of telling her story through several different voices. Each voice is in possession of a portion of the story, the telling of which is always colored by the personality and self-interest of the narrator. It is the reader who is the unbiased observer, listening to each person's story as it unravels into a coherent and horrifying chronicle of lies, deceit, and murder. We meet Gerald both as a boy, through his journals, and as a troubled man in his early 60s. He has obviously had some run-ins with the police in his time, but we are not sure about what. Gerald is the son of one of England's greatest children's writers, M.M. Haldane, now deceased. M. (Marjorie) M. (Maud) was the creator of Tom Tyler, boy detective, and she and her husband, Arthur Traxton, adopted another child before Gerald was born. That child, Vera Traxton, was murdered during the war and an American serviceman was hanged for the crime.
The Blair Years is the most compelling and revealing account of contemporary politics you will ever read. Taken from Alastair Campbell’s daily diaries, it charts the rise of New Labour and the tumultuous years of Tony Blair’s leadership, providing the first important record of a remarkable decade in our national life.
Here are the defining events of our time, from Labour’s new dawn to the war on terror, from the death of Diana to negotiations for peace in Northern Ireland, from Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq, through to the Hutton Inquiry of 2003, the year Campbell resigned his position at No 10. But above all here is Tony Blair up close and personal, taking the decisions that affected the lives of millions, under relentless and often hostile pressure...........
By early 1998 Enzo Fardone had completed his manuscript, which was
forwarded to a publisher in London – the very same publisher of The Da
Vinci Code. In 2004 after reading Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code, Enzo
discovered to his surprise that many of the elements were similar to
those in his own manuscript. Duly concerned, he put his case forward
via the media, including the TV program Today Tonight. This started the
plagiarising controversy that since then simply will not go away!
Skilfully
combining factual theological principles with a magical flair for
story-telling, Enzo Fardone presents us with a powerful and
hard-hitting novel that leaves the reader with a deep vein of rich
spiritual knowledge. He challenges existing religious dogmas and
precepts by sifting through the veils of historically inaccurate
information. John Sinclair, the central character, takes the reader on
a spiritual journey through the South of France, and explains the
purpose of initiation into the Mysteries of the Holy Grail and the
symbolism of alchemy. Secrets are revealed of the treasure of
Rennes-Le-Château and the Masonic and Rosicrucian connections. It is an
adventure of initiation and a search for the treasure of the Cathars
and the Holy Grail. What are the codes hidden in the famous painting by
Nicholas Poussin ‘The Shepherds of Arcadia’ and where is the body of
Christ buried?
