Moonlight Express
Out among the farmlands and foothills of the Southern Queensland ranges, something very weird is going on. A vintage steam engine is appearing along the abandoned, isolated railways of the tranquil Mirambeena Valley, where connecting lines no longer exist. The giant locomotive is the very image of the Diablo, which crashed in the region 50 years earlier but the mystery runs deeper - the train is now picking up passengers who never return! Enter Tessa Scott, a high-profile city lawyer with a longing for the bush and a passion for helping out people in trouble. As more and more eyewitnesses vanish without trace, and a former university acquaintance goes missing, Tess heads for Mirambeena, looking for clues and answers to the question on everyone's lips - is the Diablo material ... or ethereal?

Peterloo
On 16 August, 1819, at St Peter's Field, Manchester, armed cavalry attacked a peaceful rally of some 50,000 pro-democracy reformers. Under the eyes of the national press, 18 people were killed and some 700 injured, many of them by sabres, many of them women, some of them children. The 'Peterloo massacre', the subject of a recent feature film and a major commemoration in 2019, is famous as the central episode in Edward Thompson's Making of the English Working Class. It also marked the rise of a new English radical populism as the British state, recently victorious at Waterloo, was challenged by a pro-democracy movement centred on the industrial north. Why did the cavalry attack? Who ordered them in? What was the radical strategy? Why were there women on the platform, and why were they so ferociously attacked? Using an immense range of sources, and many new maps and illustrations, Robert Poole tells for the first time the full extraordinary story of Peterloo: the English Uprising.

The Tim Carmody Affair
When Tim Carmody was appointed Chief Justice of Queensland by Premier Campbell Newman in 2014, he had been Chief Magistrate for only nine months. It proved to be the most controversial judicial appointment in Australia’s history. Carmody’s elevation plunged the Supreme Court and the legal profession into a bitter conflict with the government and with Carmody himself. How did he come to be appointed to such a significant position? What can we learn from this saga about the fragile relationships between politics and the courts? The Tim Carmody Affair places the full story of Carmody’s damaging and divisive tenure in context, and identifies key reforms that could prevent this kind of controversy in the future. ‘A spellbinding and alarming account of one of Australia’s great judicial dramas that ruptured the legal profession and the courts. The Newman Government’s appointment of Tim Carmody as Queensland’s Chief Justice is a story of patronage, betrayal, leaking, and political folly. Brilliant and revealing.’ — Richard Ackland
