Ed McBain
The Empty Hours
In The Emty Hours, Claudia Davis was young and rich. And
dead. Detective Steve Carella had nothing to go on except a book
of cancelled cheques. In 'J', when a Rabbi is stabbed in
a dark alley, a calling card is left splattered in blood. The Precinct
figure it has to be a killer with a grudge. And in Storm,
a dead girl is found in the snow, skewered with a ski pole- and
Cotton Hawkes has to find the killer before he doubles his score. |

Malcolm Bradbury
The History Man
Howard Kirk is the trendiest of radical tutors at a fashionable
university. Timid Vice-Chancellors pale before his threats of disruption.
Reactionary colleagues are crushed beneath his merciless Marxist
logic. Woman are drawn by his progressive promiscuity. A self-appointed
revolutionary hero, Howard always comes out on top. And Malcolm
Bradbury dissects him in this savagely funny novel that has been
universally acclaimed as a comic masterpiece. |

Emma Blair
Goodnight, Sweet Prince
Nancy Thompson is poor and uneducated, with nothing to live for.
She carries out heavy duty agricultural work in virtual slavery
for Bill McCabe, who makes her cook and clean for him and who
habitually rapes her. By contrast, Rose Drumond is beautiful,
spoiled and pampered by her loving husband. When Rose suffers
a miscarriage, Nancy becomes Rose's personal maid and is able
to bid farewell to her previous life. But Rose is slipping further
into eccentricity, depression and adultery....
