Driven To Distraction by Jeremy Clarkson
Brace yourself, Clarkson's back.
And he'd like to tell you what he thinks about some of the most awe-inspiring, earth-shatteringly fast and jaw-droppingly gorgeous cars in the world (alongside a few irredeemable disasters ?).
Or he would, if there weren't so many things competing for his attention first. So much to get off his chest.
The world according to Clarkson is a perplexing place, filled with thorny subjects like: The prospect of having Terry Wogan as president, Why you'll never see a woman driving a Lexus, The unforeseen consequences of inadequate birth control, Why everyone should spend a weekend with a digger.
Fearless, independent, surprising and laugh-out-loud funny, Driven to Distraction is full-throttle Clarkson at his best; a unique look at the joys, absurdities and frustrations of modern life.
With wheels. Buckle up, get comfortable, and hold on tight.
There's no one who writes about cars like Jeremy . . .

Paths of Glory - Jeffery Archer
This is the story of a man who loved two women, and one of them killed him.
Some people have dreams that are so outrageous that if they were to achieve them, their place in history would be guaranteed. Francis Drake, Robert Scott, Percy Fawcett, Charles Lindbergh, Amy Johnson, Edmund Hillary and Neil Armstrong are among such individuals.
But what if one man had such a dream, and when he'd fulfilled it, there was no proof that he had achieved his ambition? "Paths of Glory" is the story of such a man.
But not until you've turned the last page of this extraordinary novel, will you be able to decide if George Mallory should be added to this list of legends, because if he were, another name would have to be removed.
'Archer at the peak of his imaginative powers' - "The Times".
'"Paths of Glory" will lead Archer to fans he has never before conquered' - "The Independent".
'The plain storytelling is unimprovable. Few literary writers could do his job better' - "Sunday Times".

When she returns after the show to the apartment where she and Benton live, she finds a suspicious package ? possibly a bomb ? waiting for her at the front desk.
Soon the apparent threat on Scarpetta's life finds her embroiled in a deadly plot that includes a famous actor accused of an unthinkable sex crime and the disappearance of a beautiful millionairess with whom Scarpette'a niece Lucy seems to have shared a secret past...

The Winter Ghosts by Kate Mosse
From the bestselling author of LABYRINTH and SEPULCHRE - a compelling story of ghosts and rememberance. With illustrations throughout by Brian Gallagher.
The Great War took much more than lives. It robbed a generation of friends, lovers and futures.
In Freddie Watson's case, it took his beloved brother and, at times, his peace of mind. In the winter of 1928, still seeking resolution, Freddie is travelling through the French Pyrenees - another region that has seen too much bloodshed over the years. During a snowstorm, his car spins off the mountain road and he stumbles into the woods.
Emerging by a tiny village, he meets Fabrissa, a beautiful woman also mourning a lost generation.
Over the course of one night, Fabrissa and Freddie share their stories. By the time dawn breaks, he will have stumbled across a tragic mystery that goes back through the centuries.
By turns thrilling, poignant and haunting, this is a story of two lives touched by war and transformed by courage.

THE SNOWBALL provides some clues about how he's done it.' Financial Times 'A monumental work you feel like you've been in the presence of a monumentally flawed but riveting character utterly compelling.' Evening Standard

| A Captain's Diary - Graeme Smith
Who will ever forget Graeme Smith striding to the wicket with a broken hand in the third Test match in Australia? This after already winning the series. If ever there was a moment to define the man, that was it.
The Proteas entered the history books in that series, the first South African team to beat the Aussies at home. Earlier in 2008, they beat England and drew a Test series in India, making 2008 one of the most successful years on record. For good measure, South Africa also became the highest ranked one-day side in the world.
Smith pinpoints the tour to Pakistan in October 2007 at the time his team started taking shape, and in A Captain's Diary he records an extraordinary 18-month journey, from Karachi to Newlands via Lord's, Leeds, Melbourne and Sydney.
Smith takes the reader behind the scenes. From the high drama on the field, where a game can turn on its head in a mere 30 minutes, to the dangers of touring Pakistan where one is surrounded day and night by security personnel bristling with guns. He reveals key, behind-the-scenes moments from team talks and selection to change-room banter, moments which determined their fate as they sought to dethrone Australia as the best team in the world.
