LONGLISTED FOR THE WALTER SCOTT PRIZE FOR HISTORICAL FICTION 'To tell the story of a country or a continent is surely a great and complex undertaking; but the story of a quiet, unnoticed place where there are few people, fewer memories and almost no reliable records - a place such as Glen Conach - may actually be harder to piece together. The hazier everything becomes, the more whatever facts there are become entangled with myth and legend. . .' Deep in the mountains of north-east Scotland lies Glen Conach, a place of secrets and memories, fable and history. In particular, it holds the stories of three different eras, separated by centuries yet linked by location, by an ancient manuscript an...

FOR A MAN LIKE RICKY BAXTER, FORGIVENESS DOESN'T COME EASILY. Ostensibly just this disabled guy running a simple charity in a London backwater, anyone underestimating Ricky quickly discovers their mistake. He's a man driven to right some of the wrongs of the world - a man who simply doesn't care who gets hurt along the way.Or so he likes to believe. Because when an abused pole dancer comes to him for help, he has little idea of the murky depths of modern-day slavery that he's about to get dragged into. Too late, he finds himself up against violent gangs smuggling migrants across Europe, people who'd go to any extremes to exploit their human cargo for profit. People who make Ricky question himself. Has he really got what it takes to stop these people? Or will he find himself losing the moral high ground, drawn into acting more like the gang leaders themselves and, in the process, sinking to their level?What starts out as a simple matter quickly escalates into a life-or-death struggle against everything he holds dear. The trouble is, as Ricky is about to discover, nothing in life ever goes according to plan ...

Presumptions? or Facts!The State operates on presumptions. Courts operate on presumptions. But what binds me to their presumptions?Where's the contract? What obligations in the contract am I allegedly bound to perform? Did I agree to it? Was the contract valid? Was mutual consideration exchanged? What type of consideration was exchanged? What is in the contract that I am supposed to perform? Was I aware of the contract? Was the contract fully disclosed? Did I sign the contract with my autograph in ink?Statutory laws are public servant codes for society's slaves; for agents of government. We're all presumed to be employees and servants of the state.But, we're servants of God instead; students of the earth, charged with its cultivation and care.

David Robinson's definitive and monumental biography of Charlie Chaplin, the greatest icon in the history of cinema, who lived one of the most dramatic rags to riches stories ever told. Chaplin's life was marked by extraordinary contrasts: the child of London slums who became a multimillionaire; the on-screen clown who was a driven perfectionist behind the camera; the adulated star who publicly fell from grace after personal and political scandal. This engrossing and definitive work, written with full access to Chaplin's archives, tells the whole story of a brilliant, complex man. David Robinson is a celebrated film critic and historian who wrote for The Times and the Financial Times for sev...
