I Am Sitting in a Room
The inaugural volume in Cabinet's new 24-Hour Book series, I Am Sitting in a Room--written and designed in one day--explores the scenography and architecture of writing itself. Inspired in part by Georges Perec's short fragment in Species of Spaces on Antonello da Messina's painting of St. Jerome in his study, Dillon's text is both a personal reflection on the theatrics of the study, the library and the office, and a historical consideration of such writerly paraphernalia as Proust's bed, Nabokov's index cards and Philip Roth's moustache. Dillon, who arrived at Cabinet's office without any prepared text, also had to remain open to the contingencies of an unfamiliar writing environment, pecul...

Sean Dillon, a former IRA terrorist-turned-mercenary, and Blake Johnson, head of a clandestine White House department, are recruited to stop her before all hell breaks loose. And they better hurry. There are only three names left on the assassin’s list . . . “Good summer reading, The White House Connection has one heckuva heroine . . .

The White House Connection is a satisfying, suspense-filled book.” —The Roanoke Times
Storylistening
Storylistening makes the case for the urgent need to take stories seriously in order to improve public reasoning. Dillon and Craig provide a theory and practice for gathering narrative evidence that will complement and strengthen, not distort, other forms of evidence, including that from science. Focusing on the cognitive and the collective, Dillon and Craig show how stories offer alternative points of view, create and cohere collective identities, function as narrative models, and play a crucial role in anticipation. They explore these four functions in areas of public reasoning where decisions are strongly influenced by contentious knowledge and powerful imaginings: climate change, artific...
Without Mercy
As Detective Superintendent Hannah Bernstein of Special Branch lies recuperating in the hospital, an enigmatic shadow from the past, burning with hatred, steals into her room and finishes the job.

But they have no idea of the searing journey upon which they are about to embark—or of the bloody war into which they are about to charge. Filled with dark suspense, driven by characters of complexity and passion, Without Mercy once again proves that Jack Higgins is the unchallenged master of international intrigue.
