Spy Runner

Most of us remember the seventh of September 1940 as the day the London docks were bombed and devastated by fire. I remember it as the day I was called up. But the police car that collected me took me to Wormwood Scrubs Prison . . . Major Ronnie Reed never spoke about what he did in the Second World War. He was only 23 when it broke out; an amateur radio enthusiast who was working as a maintenance engineer for the BBC. And yet, despite minimal money and qualifications, he became one of the men behind some of the most remarkable spy stories of all time. Recruited in the dead of night from his Anderson shelter, Ronnie became a case officer for double agents, including Eddie Chapman, known then...

Tonight's performance of Mahler's Ninth Symphony marks a new beginning for Maestro Auguste Leloir. Behind him are the ghosts of his first appearance with the Chicago Philharmonia thirty years ago, when the dreams of the conductor and his new bride were brutally destroyed by the blade of an unknown assailant. But at the end of the evening's triumphant concert, death emerges once again to take the solo bow. The Philharmonia's principal oboist and Auguste's longtime friend, Nicholas Koshevsky, suffers a heart attack onstage during the fading chords of Mahler's great requiem, the Final Adagio. Observing the reactions of those closest to Nicholas, Auguste begins to question whether the oboist's death was inevitable. As he unravels the backstage labyrinth of orchestral politics and personal betrayal, he discovers that death by natural causes serves as a convenient cover for murder. Offstage, Leloir is lured into a web of deceit and long-held hatreds that hold the key to solving his wife's murder--and ultimately to his own survival.

Why My Wife Had To Die

The terrifying fact is this: Huntington's disease leads to physical and mental deterioration. There is no cure. It is handed down genetically, with a 1:2 chance of inheritance that cannot be determined until the disease shows itself, often not until the sufferer is in their 40s. Many do not know they have the gene or are at risk of passing it on. Those who do know, because a parent has suffered from it, may wait a lifetime before finding out whether they are safe or not. The prospects are horrific. After his first marriage failed, Brian Verity had a breakdown and married the woman who nursed him back to health. Within a few years, she began showing the signs of Huntington's that he had seen ...

Carol Reed

"Carol Reed - director of thirty-four films, among them Odd Man Out, The Fallen Idol, Outcast of the Islands, Mutiny on the Bounty and, of course, the great postwar classic The Third Man." "He is fully revealed here as the complex, reticent, eccentric man of enormous gifts who understood actors and writers (he was both) and was a master of the art of telling stories, and making movies." "At the center of Reed's life was the fact of his birth: He was the illegitimate son of one of Edwardian England's great character actors, Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, who for fifty years dominated the London stage and whose flamboyant personality and love affairs were legend. Nicholas Wapshott shows how Reed's...
