Jack Was Here
Hugh Fitzgerald is losing control. In the aftermath of a traumatic end to his military career, his life has disintegrated. Hugh is approaching the end of his tether when a desperate plea for help arrives from a most unexpected quarter. Nineteen-year-old Jack Kerr, halfway through a coming-of-age trip to Thailand, has disappeared. He has left few traces, little information, and absolutely no answers. As the days turn into weeks, his parents grow increasingly frantic. They approach Hugh with a simple request; do whatever it takes to find their son, and do whatever it takes to bring him home. It sounds easy enough. The money is right. More importantly, it's something to do - something useful. But as soon as Hugh touches down in Thailand, the illusion of control begins to slip through his fingers. Jack's warm trail is easy to find, but it leads somewhere unimaginable. Finally, as he closes in, Hugh is forced to resort to increasingly desperate measures. Jack Was Here is an intoxicating glimpse into Thailand's underworld. A startling debut from Christopher Bardsley.
Red Thistle
A powerful and fascinating exploration of the important but relatively unknown region of the Northern Caucasus and its people. It lies between the Black and Caspian Seas and is within European Russia. Wars have been fought here for centuries - the most recent in Chechnya. Monteleone examines the stubborn, rebellious culture of this region, which although part of Russia, differs in the ethnicity, religion and social customs of its inhabitants. 'If you shoot in the Caucasus, the echo will be heard for centuries,' says an old proverb from the region.
Royal Subjects
In this portrait of the end of aristocracy and patronage from an outsider's point of view, Aronson shares how his life became interwoven with the Royal family and hilariously describes lunching on a scotch egg - with Scotch - with Princess Margaret, bizarre but gracious teas with the Queen Mother, and much more.
