The piano was a 1912 Bechstein Model A Grand presented in a walnut, patterned case that was originally situated in the drawing room of the Schloss Marienhalle for some years, before it was transported to the what was at the time, the dining room of the Lake House. There it had resided in all its tonal splendour for some ten years before I set eyes upon it, little knowing that it would play such a pivotal part in my life. I look at it today and the memories flood back. It becomes harder to put them in their proper order, chronologies become muddled with the passing of the years, confused by ...

It is January 1967, over four years have passed since the cataclysm of October 1962. Over four long years down an altered timeline in which the swinging sixties never happened. To the West the Soviet Union still seems hell-bent on confrontation, in Washington DC a President whom only months before was the victor of terrible civil war finds himself at the nexus of a blizzard of controversy, while in Europe, British and Free French troops seemed locked in an unwinnable war with the Chelyabinsk Kremlin’s proxies in the south. And then, as a partisan Congress seeks to re-fight old battles ...

‘The Painter’ is one woman’s remembrance of the days of her youth spent in Bielefeld under the bombs of the Allied Air Forces in the final months of the war in Europe. After writing ‘Until the Night’ I had been looking for a way to start telling the other stories of the bombing war in Europe. ‘Until the Night’ was about the men in the bombers over Germany in the winter of 1943-44, ‘The Painter’ is about the experience of ordinary Germans under the bombs in the last winter of the war. ‘The Painter’ is the first of a series of companion books to ‘Until the Night’ in ...

Operation Manna is the story of how the nation was saved; filling in the ...

She'd been promised a "proper" police job in the Homicide and Serious Crime Command, but what she'd got wasn't even close. She'd been promised she'd be working with an elite team of experienced detectives - what she'd got was a squad of malcontents, troublemakers, and time-servers. And worst of all, she discovers she's been appointed London's unofficial "Celebrity Cop." As if to add insult to injury, Professional Standards are on her case. Not because she's done anything wrong.

In The Plains of Waterloo, eight months have passed since the bloodbath at Harald Villas at the end of A Ransom for Two Roses.

When she visits a notorious child killer in prison at Waddon Hall Maximum Security Unit in Dorset, she believes she is testing how far she has come since that terrible winter night.

In Buenos Aires, there were three of them: the physician doctor who hoped he might heal his divided nation, and the two generals, one the great puppeteer of his generation of officers, the other a would-be technocrat who almost but not quite knew what he was doing.

Sir Stanley Jackson captained Harrow School, Cambridge University, and England in a golden epoch of English cricket. It is no bad thing to place the man and his age in perspective before the telling of his story. Our subject played his cricket in an age lost to us forever, an age wreathed in legend.

Hawke first captained Yorkshire in the Championship in 1883. He was also the man who sacked Bobby Peel, the greatest left-arm bowler of his era, and infamously declaimed "Pray God, no professional shall ever captain England", sentiments that very nearly damned him forever. A man of contradictions, strong convictions, more often than not his own worst enemy, this cricketing biography goes behind the myth of the man looking to paint a picture of one of cricket’s great men.
