Henry VIII has proclaimed himself Supreme Head of the Church & the country is waking up to savage new laws, rigged trials & the greatest network of informers ever seen. Under the order of Thomas Cromwell, a team of commissioners is sent through the country to investigate the monasteries. There can only be one outcome: the monasteries are to be dissolved. But on the Sussex coast, at the monastery of Scarnsea, events have spiralled out of control. Cromwell's Commissioner Robin Singleton, has been found dead, his head severed from his body. His horrific murder is accompanied by equally sinister acts of sacrilege
- a black cockerel sacrificed on the alter, & the disappearance of Scarnsea's Great Relic. Dr Matthew Shardlake, lawyer & long-time supporter of Reform, has been sent by Cromwell into this atmosphere of treachery & death. But Shardlake's investigation soon forces him to question everything he hears, & everything that he intrinsically believes.

Edward has lost his short term-memory. He hopes it will return when he sees the cottage in which he lives. He recognizes his overcoat on the hook, his books, the double bed. The mystery however, is Naomi. Edward has no recollection of who she is or why she has left him a love letter. With Thubron's customary clarity he draws a bleak, amnesiac world in which a young man must face again old griefs & linger 'like a coward, just this side of knowing'. On the other side, the memory of a destructive, obsessive relationship looms. ...

An unnamed narrator attempts to piece together the life & works of an enigmatic would-be poet turned military assassin during Pinochet`s regime in Chile. In the early 1970s Alberto Ruiz-Tagle was a little-known poet living in southern Chile. After the military coup of 1973 that brought in the dictatorship of General Pinochet, he embarked upon a new career that involved him in committing murder & other brutalities, & subsequently led to his emergence as a lieutenant in the Chilean air force under his actual name, Carlos Wieder. Some time later the narrator, now held in a prison camp, looks up & sees a World War II airplane writing the first words of the ” Book of Genesis” in smoke in the sky. The aviator is none other Carlos Wieder, launching his own version of the New Chilean Poetry. Roberto Bolano`s novel is a chilling investigation of the fascist mentality & the limits of evil, as seen in its effects on a literary sensibility, as well as a gripping intellectual thriller. It shows a great writer at the height of his powers. ...

Throughout his distinguished career as a journalist & film-maker, John Pilger has looked behind the `official` versions of events to report the real stories of our time.

- from the myth-making of the Gulf War to the surreal pleasures of Disneyl&. Breaking through the consensual silence, Pilger pays tribute to those dissenting voices we are seldom permitted to hear.
