Richard Patterson
Limited Edition, cloth-covered book beautifully presented in a printed hard slipcase, published in an edition of just 500 copies. Matters of Life and Death' is a limited-edition publication documenting the accomplished and haunting recent paintings of celebrated Dallas-based British artist Richard Patterson (b.1963). An engaging introduction by Paul Moorhouse, Senior Curator at the National Portrait Gallery, London, discusses the dynamic and complex relationship between figuration and abstraction in Patterson's oeuvre. In his essay, art historian James Cahill explores the subjects of portraiture and personae within the artist's works, while curator and critic Jane Neal navigates ideas of gender and sexuality in his practice, taking us into the realms of fetish and the male gaze. Features a selection of works executed between 2013 and 2016, many of which are published here for the first time.
The Spire
'A must read' Former President Bill Clinton 'Patterson has the rare gift of enthralling as he informs' Mark Lawson, Guardian Mark Darrow grows up to become a superb trial lawyer – thanks to the mentorship of Lionel Farr, a professor at Caldwell, the local college. Now, it’s time for Farr to ask his still-youthful protégé to return the favour: an embezzlement scandal threatens to destroy Caldwell. Returning to his alma mater as president opens old wounds. Sixteen years before, he discovered the body of a black female student, Angela Hall, at the base of The Spire, the bell tower that dominates the leafy campus. His best friend, Steve Tillman, was charged with Angela’s murder and given a life sentence. Darrow begins his own inquiry into the murder, and is soon convinced that the killer is still at large. His own life too may be at risk . . . Gripping and razor-sharp, The Spire is a hugely satisfying thriller, a poignant love story – and Richard North Patterson’s most compelling novel in years.

Fever Swamp
By fall 2015, the rise of Donald Trump as the likely Republican nominee confirmed that, for better or worse, Americans had been transported to a strange new land populated by mysterious creatures, where the normal laws of the political universe no longer applied.
