To keep you on your toes, there are also a number of quizzes."--Back cover

Winning Bridge at Home
"In addition to the tens of thousands of regular club and tournament players in every bridge-playing country in the world, there are millions of people who prefer to play at home. As the bridge columnist of The Daily Telegraph Tony Forrester is keenly aware of the needs and interests of this group of players and has designed a three-book series especially for them. This third volume, aims to turn an average home player into a consistently 'winning' player. The book's four sections cover Competitive Bidding, The Constructive Auction, Declarer Play and Defence.

Using a clear step-by-step approach, reinforced by self-testing quizzes and spiced with humour, Europe's No. 1 player will increase your expertise in all aspects of the game."--Back cover.
Somehow We Landed in Six Notrump
The first half of the book features the word's finest players at work, tacking all manner of ANT contracts -some commendable, others truly awful. You will have the chance to plan your play in these contracts yourself, before seeing what fate befell the original declare. The second half contains humorous short stories featuring many of David Birds well-loved character: the bridge-crazy monks of St. Titus Monastery, the nuns of St. Hilda's Convent, the Rabbi and his entourage. There is further action from Cholmeley School, from the missionaries whose main task in life is to convert the Bozwambi tribe to the Acol bidding system and even some tales of Sir Guy of Gisburne.
World Class
Twenty-six of the world's top players talk about bridge -- their favorite hands, their worst moments, their most-feared opponents, and so on. We see the human side of people who to many bridge fans are just names, and we gather from them a series of tips and ideas that will help the reader improve his own game. The players covered are men and women from all parts of the world, and most will be household names for anyone who follows the game at all. The list runs from the old masters to the brightest new stars, and includes several whose contribution to the game is as a writer or teacher.
The Rwandan Hostage
The Rwandan Hostage is the second volume of Christopher Lowery's African Diamonds Series and continues the tale of corruption, murder and greed that began with the bestselling The Angolan Clan. Heroine Jenny Bishop is back with a vengeance! The abduction of her nephew at the world cup final in South Africa brings to light a long-hidden event in her sister's history, which heralds a terrifying threat to the lives of her closest family. In a desperate attempt to find her nephew and bring him to safety, Jenny joins forces with ex-Chief Inspector, now private investigator, Pedro Espinoza. Together they uncover an international conspiracy dating back to the horrific events of the Rwandan genocide in 1994. Jenny is in a race against time to find the abductors, before the damning revelations threaten to tear her family apart. Set against a European-African backdrop, the fast-paced plot twists and turns in a gripping series of events and action. The Rwandan Hostage is a compelling international mystery that will enthral all thriller fans, in the best traditions of Gerald Seymour, Frederick Forsyth and Richard North Patterson.
