Fatal Cure
Fatal Cure is medical mystery from New York Times bestselling author and master of the medical thriller Robin Cook. Angela and David Wilson, husband and wife medical partnership, are looking for a new life away from the pressures of the city. And new hope in their battle against the incurable disease destroying their nine-year-old daughter's life. Bartlet's state-of-the-art medical centre looks like the answer to the Wilsons' prayers. Until the falling of autumn leaves reveals something more sinister than the skeletons of the trees. For in this rural paradise, it isn't life the doctors try to save. It's money . . .
Body and Soul
Body and Soul explores the work of Robert Aldrich, a producer and director responsible for several notable films, including The Flight of the Phoenix, The Dirty Dozen, Too Late the Hero, The Longest Yard and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? Author Tony Williams examines the relationship of Aldrich's films to the Cultural Front movement of the 1930s as well as to the blacklist of the 1950s. He also delineates Aldrich's attempts to follow the progressive ideals of such mentors as Jean Renoir, Lewis Milestone, and Charlie Chaplin. From the noir classic Kiss Me Deadly to the controversial thriller Twilight's Last Gleaming, Body and Soul focuses on the dilemmas--both personal and political--that affect individuals in all of Aldrich's films.

Film and the Working Class
Taking the subject chronologically from the 1890s to when the book was initially published in 1989, this book analyses those films specifically concerned with working-class conditions and struggle, and discusses them within the context of the debate on the social significance of the feature film. It concentrates on films which depict labour organizations and political activists, as well as life in working-class communities and actors with working-class identities such as James Cagney. Reviews of the original edition: ‘...fills a gap in film studies...the study of social and labour history, and the development of popular culture in Britain and the United States.’
