Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In 2003, Charles Ingram won notoriety after being found guilty of having conspired to win the popular TV quiz show "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" by deception. Now however in his first novel, Ingram proves himself an adept and intelligent thriller writer. By drawing on both careful research and his professional experience as a Major in the British Army, he has constructed a gripping, terrifying tale of a terrorist plot to detonate a nuclear bomb in London on the Prophet Muhammad's birthday. However, thanks to the good offices of a pious curator at Kabul Museum in Afghanistan, the British Government learns of the conspiracy and launches Operation Enduring Freedom in an attempt to thwart the terrorists. At its spearhead is former MI6 field operative Harry Winchester who, with US agent Tess Fulton, tracks the plotters from Afghanistan to Argentina and then finally on to London. As 'Zulu Day' draws closer, it seems ever less likely that Winchester will be able to find either the terrorist cell or the bombs in time. Is everyone's worst nightmare about to happen? Since his appearance on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire", Ingram has gained massive media coverage and has appeared on many television shows including "Hells Kitchen", "The Games" and "Richard and Judy".

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Stephen Poole joined British Rail in the early 1970s and worked on the railway in a variety of capacities for 20 years. This gave him an insight not only into the internal complexities of the nationalised railway in its last two decades, but also into the context in which it operated in terms of social, industrial, financial and political change. In spite of occasional rivalries, there was a shared sense of purpose and a camaraderie amongst railway workers and the author was clearly proud to be numbered amongst them. However, there was little room for such sentiments in the eventual helter-skelter run up to privatisation. The author portrays the reality of working for an industry struggling to survive and to adapt itself during a time of great upheaval, showing too how political expediency and dogma encroached upon the real work of running a railway - and resulted in the frustrations experienced by railway workers, passengers and freight users alike. Behind the Crumbling Edge.puts paid to any notion that there is a simple or lasting remedy for the railway industry's problems and demonstrates that the railway deserves better than to be treated as just another commodity in the national supermarket.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In this meticulously researched study of the British criminal justice system, author David Fraser, a long-serving Senior Probation Officer, offers a clear-sighted and persuasive analysis of how and why the country faces the spiraling crime figures it does today. Fraser addresses government policy since World War II, showing how the belief that 'prisons do not work' became a central plank of criminal justice policy and charts the disastrous consequences that this had for the British public. He examines in detail how the workings of government, Civil Service, judiciary, police and Probation Service have all become perverted by a philosophy that seeks to uphold the 'rights' of the criminal rather than those of their victims. Finally, he argues that only by sending the country's large numbers of persistent criminals to prison for increasingly long periods will we be able to head off the social, political and civic catastrophe that looms in Britain today. Accessible and lucidly written, "A Land Fit for Criminals" will appeal to both those involved in the criminal justice system and to general readers concerned about the issues affecting Britain today.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Ronald Jones was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but as a hotelier he has used the best cutlery for most of his life. This engaging and informative biography gives an enthralling being-the-scenes picture of the hospitality business as the author remembered the famous, the fantastic - and the fun. He recalls the post-war escalope de veau which was really rabbit, the one-eyed pastry-cook who took snuff and sneezed over the desserts, and the royal banquet at which Moroccan waiters tried to supplant Claridge's own and the hosts suggested the Queen should use her fingers!

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This work presents a detailed picture of middle-class family life in mid-Victorian England, which is full of charm and wit and is almost without parallel. Claire Constable's happy discovery of the vast Constable family archive of letters and personal journals has allowed her to share this remarkable story of one of photography's pioneers. In the current digital age, when pictures are instant and disposable, it is hard to imagine the excitement that greeted the opening of William Constable's Photographic Institution in Brighton in 1841. However, the excitement was such that even Prince Albert and his brothers came to have their portraits made. Before taking up photography, William Constable's life had been far from dull. In 1806, William, his brother Daniel and their dog Frank went to America and travelled for two years. They covered thousands of miles, largely on foot, while writing letters home that vividly described the new world. "The Constables of Brighton and Reigate" also details William's nephew Clair James Grece who was also a pioneer, but in the field of local democracy. Clair became the first Town Clerk of Reigate in Surrey in 1841, a post he was to hold for more than forty years. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.
