The Italian Woman
    When Catherine de' Medici
    was forced to marry Henry
    of Orleans, her's was
    not the only heart
    broken. Jeanne of Navarre
    once dreamed of marrying
    this same prince, but
    like Catherine, she must
    comply with King
    Francis's political
    needs. And so both
    Catherine and Jeanne's
    lives are set on unwanted
    paths, destined to cross
    in affairs of state,
    love and faith, driving
    them to become deadly
    political rivals. Years
    later Jeanne is happily
    married to the dashing
    but politically inept
    Antoine de Bourbon,
    whilst the widowed
    Catherine continues to be
    loved by few and feared
    by many - including her
    children. But Catherine
    is now the powerful
    mother of kings, who
    will do anything to see
    her beloved second son,
    Henry, rule France. As
    civil war ravages the
    country and Jeanne fights
    for the Huguenot cause,
    Catherine advances along
    her unholy road, making
    enemies at every turn...

Paul Temple and the Front Page Men
    Crime novelist and
    detective Paul Temple and
    his glamorous wife Steve
    made their first
    appearance on BBC Radio
    in 1938. They inhabited a
    sophisticated world of
    chilled cocktails and
    fast cars, where the
    women were chic and the
    men wore cravats - a
    world where Sir Graham
    Forbes, of Scotland
    Yard, usually needed
    Temple's help with his
    latest tricky case. The
    radio serials proved so
    popular that Francis
    Durbridge was inspired to
    write a succession of
    novels featuring Paul
    Temple. In this one,
    read by "Buffy" and
    "Little Britain" star
    Anthony Head, the dapper
    detective is faced with a
    dangerous gang who will
    stop at nothing to
    achieve their aims. When
    detective novel "The
    Front Page Men" is
    published, it is a smash
    hit - not least because
    no-one knows the true
    identity of the author,
    the mysterious Andrea
    Fortune. Shortly
    afterwards, two
    robberies are committed,
    and on each occasion a
    card is left at the scene
    bearing the words 'The
    Front Page Men'. The
    police link these thefts
    to several high-profile
    kidnapping cases - and
    then the murders begin.
    Could the book be linked
    to the crimes? Is
    mild-mannered piano tuner
    J.P. Goldie as innocent
    as he seems? And just who
    is the mastermind behind
    it all? With Steve's life
    in danger, Paul Temple
    must find out before it
    is too late...Anthony
    Head brings the great
    radio detective to life
    in this new reading of
    Francis Durbridge's
    classic novel.

    plans to spend a quiet
    Christmas holed up in a

    then a bullet-riddled

    the attentions of a
    beautiful young woman)
    force him out of
    retirement and back into

The Last Viking - The Life Of Roald Amundsen
    Details: One hundred
    years have passed since
    Robert Falcon
    Scotts beleagured
    expeditionary team
    arrived at the South
    Pole, only to find that
    they had been beaten by
    the Norwegian explorer
    Roald Amundsen. The most
    feted explorer of his
    generation, Amundsen
    counted the discovery of
    the Northwest Passage,
    in 1905, as well as the
    North Pole amongst his
    greatest achievements. In
    the golden age of polar
    exploration Amundsen,
    whose revolutionary
    approach to technology
    transcends polar and
    nautical significance,
    was a titan among men.
    However, until now, his
    story has rarely featured
    as more than a footnote
    to Scotts tragic
    failure. Reviled for
    defeating Scott but
    worshipped by his men,
    Amundsen was pursued by
    women and creditors
    throughout his life
    before disappearing on a
    rescue mission for the
    Italian Fascist who had
    set off in an airship to
    claim the North Pole for
    Mussolini. The Last
    Viking is the life of a
    visionary and a showman,
    who brought the era of
    Shackleton to an end,
    put the newly independent
    Norway on the map and was
    the twentieth
    centurys brightest
    trailblazing explorer.
    Ideal for: A mesmerising
    story that provides a
    wonderful read for all.
