October 1897: on the Eve
of All Saint's, when
graves are said to open
and spirits walk, a
young Parisian girl,
Leonie Vernier,
disappears without trace
from her Aunt's country
estate, the Domaine de
la Cade, just outside
the spa town of
Rennes-les-Bains. That
same night, in a tiny
village across the
valley, an elderly
reclusive priest is
brutally murdered. All
that links the two events
is the music heard
echoing in the ancient
woods and the painted
Tarot card pressed
between the bloodied
fingers of the dead man's
hand. Card XV, Le Diable
- The Devil. The
murderers are never
brought to justice.
Leonie's body is never
found. October 2007:
biographer and musician,
Meredith Martin, arrives
at the Domaine de la
Cade, researching the
composer, Claude
Debussy. Immediately,
she is captivated by the
tragic history of the
house and the fate of
Leonie Vernier and her
beloved brother Anatole.
But when Meredith
stumbles upon an ancient
tomb, a sepulchre,
hidden deep within the
grounds, and hears
ghostly music echoing
through the woods at
night, she realises the
story of the cards is far
from dead and buried.
Against her will, she
finds herself caught up
in a race against time,
both to find the Vernier
Tarot and to solve the
century-old mystery of
Leonie's disappearance
without becoming the
latest victim herself.

The iconic broadcasting
legend dusts down his
suitcase for a final
journey around the globe,
revisiting locations of
significance to his life
and career. You might
say I'm set in my
airways. I'm one of those
lucky people whose
professional and private
lives blend exactly. Alan
Whicker, 2007 This
sumptuous book to
accompany the major BBC
TV series of the same
name, is a glorious
celebration of 50 years
in front of the
camera. For as long as
most can remember,
Whicker has roamed far
and wide in search of the
eccentric, the ludicrous
and the
socially-revealing
aspects of everyday life
as lived by some of the
more colourful of the
world's
inhabitants. Since the
late 1950s, when the
long-running Whicker's
World documentary was
first screened, he has
probed and dissected the
often secretive and
unobserved worlds of the
rich and famous, rooting
out the most implausible
and sometimes ridiculous
characters after gaining
admittance to the places
where they conduct their
leisure hours. The great
man's legacy contains a
number of genuine TV
firsts. As well as
landmark interviews with
figures as diverse as
Papa Doc, Paul Getty and
The Sultan of Brunei, he
was a pioneer, covering
subjects like plastic
surgery, gay weddings,
polygamy, swinging and
following gun-toting
cops, fly-on-the-wall
style, for British
screens long before
anyone else. This
wonderful new book is the
end product of a very
personal journey. Whicker
retraces his steps,
catching up with some
past interviewees and
reflecting on how the
world has changed - for
good and bad - over the
passing of time. Journey
of a Lifetime is lyrical,
uplifting and peppered
with our favourite
globetrotter's brand of
subtle satire.

deadly skills and even
more deadly enemies. Over
the course of three
books, THE BOURNE
IDENTITY, THE BOURNE
SUPREMACY and THE BOURNE
ULTIMATUM, he gradually
comes to realize who and
what he really is - a
strange amalgam of his
original self, a man
named David Webb, and
the deadly killer
identity that goes by the
name Jason Bourne. An

A selection of Letter
from America broadcasts
from the years 1982-2003,
plus a tribute to
Alistair Cooke. Such
experience, wisdom and
education are unlikely
ever again to combine in
one journalist Mark
Lawson. Alistair Cooke
was radio's great
observer, the doyen of
foreign correspondents
and the world's most
famous letter writer.
From 1946 until 2004, he
explained the Americans
to the British through
his weekly Letter 'From
America', the
longest-running one-man
series in broadcasting
history. It was always a
virtuoso performance
informed, informal,
shrewd, funny and
erudite. In this volume,
Cooke reports on a varied
selection of events,
including the 1992
presidential election,
the art of Charles Schulz
and introducing Bernstein
to Handel's Messiah. He
remembers the infamous
standoff over Cuba,
which nearly caused a
third world war, and
recalls the more recent
shocking events
surrounding September
11th 2001 and the
subsequent war on terror.
Every event evokes a
particular time and
place, but Cooke's
unique style of
expression and analysis
provides each with a
resonance that echoes
through the years. The

By the time he was ten
years old Billy Brown was
running a successful
little business on the
black market and, for
the right price, he
would deliver it direct
to your door in an old
carriage pram. This is
the highly entertaining,
eye-opening memoir of a
young boy growing up in
1950s London. With energy
and insight, Billy Brown
paints a vivid and lively
picture of Britain
emerging from the ruins
of the war, the hunger
for opportunity, the
growing pace of
modernisation, and the
pride and optimism that
held communities
together. Londoners were
intent on getting
themselves back on their
feet and it provided the
perfect opportunity for a
boy with ambition and
imagination. Born in
Brixton in 1942, Billy
Brown was a loveable
scamp with a nose for
mischief. Ignoring the
shaking of fists from his
neighbours, his mother's
scoldings and the regular
thwack of the cane on his
bottom at school, Billy
wheeled and dealed,
charmed Woolies Girls,
planned coronation
celebrations, ran
circles around circus
performers and persuaded
villains to work on his
terms. This audiobook has
