Numbers don’t lie... not according to Garrett Reilly who, just two weeks past his twenty-sixth birthday, thinks he’s probably the best bond analyst at his brokerage, maybe the best in all of lower Manhattan.

Garrett’s memory for numbers is photographic. But he doesn’t just memorize numbers: he sorts them, ranks them, senses patterns.

As he watches buy & sell numbers float across his computer monitor, Garrett notices what nobody else can: that US Treasury bonds are being sold off at an alarming rate.

Two hundred billion dollars worth. It’s a discovery that Garrett knows will make him stinking rich.

Graeme Swann leads us on a compelling adventure through one of world sport's most engrossing rivalries. He knows as much as anybody about the heat of England v Australia battles, having played in three series wins & also the whitewash defeat of 2013-14 when its intensity ended his international career.

From Grace to Sir Don, the most graceful of them all. From the foulest play to the fairest
- contrast the 1932-33 Bodyline series affair to the image of Andrew Flintoff hunched over a distraught Brett Lee in 2005. From Ray Illingworth's famous walk-off in the Seventies, to Steve Waugh's hugely emotional lap of honour when he retired a quarter of a century later.

Swann's book will reveal the magic of a series that first gripped him in his front room in Northampton as an aspiring spin bowler in the mid-1980s.

This hardback book has 360 pages & measures: 24 x 16 x 3.3cm

An urgent & necessary polemic on the government's assault on our fundamental freedoms & the proliferation of Human Rights. From 42 days detention to ASBOs, as citizens of modern Britain we are seeing some of our fundamental freedoms being pawned off cheaply in the name of security. At the same time, a whole range of novel, & comparatively trivial, rights are being handed out like sweets. Why? In the last 10 years the government has launched an unprecedented assault on our civil liberties. The loss of basic liberties has been replaced by a litany of new rights & the emergence of a new rights culture without any meaningful democratic oversight. This assault, & the parallel proliferation of rights, has warped the moral compass that guided the idea of fundamental rights throughout British history. But in whose name & to what end? In The Assault on Liberty, a radical polemic on the state of the nation, Dominic Raab, Chief of Staff to the Shadow Home Secretary, asks whether we can really defend our freedom by sacrificing it. The risks to Britain are real & likely to grow unless unchecked. Raab argues that the long-term risk is that the current approach will undermine the credibility of, & public support for, the very idea of fundamental rights in this country. He concludes that it is only a modern Bill of Rights that would offer a precious opportunity to review & repair our approach to rights, one of the pillars of our liberal democracy & would place these fundamental liberties in the correct context of the challenges facing Britain & its citizens in the 21st century. ...
