There is another 1985, somewhere in the could-have-been, where the Crimean war still rages, dodos are regenerated in home-cloning kits & everyone is deeply disappointed by the ending of ' Jane Eyre'. In this world there are no jet-liners or computers, but there are policemen who can travel across time, a Welsh republic, a great interest in all things literary
- & a woman called Thursday Next. In this utterly original & wonderfully funny first novel, Fforde has created a fiesty, loveable heroine & a plot of such richness & ingenuity that it will take your breath away.

In 1994, Robert Black was convicted of the kidnapping, sexual assault & murder of three young girls, & sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum tariff of thirty-five years; in 2011 he was convicted of a fourth such killing.

He died in HMP Maghaberry, Northern Irel&, in January 2016, aged sixty-eight, unmourned, & entirely unrepentant of his repellent crimes.

These bald facts, horrific as they are, do not begin to scratch the surface of the truth about Robert Black, a Scottish-born serial killer who undoubtedly committed further murders for which he was never tried, both in this country & on the Continent.

In this ground-breaking account, Robert Giles, who has spent years tracing the killers movements & sifting through all the evidence, convincingly argues that Black was an habitual serial killer over many years, & quite certainly responsible for more than the four child murders for which he was convicted.

As Facebook spreads around the globe, it creates surprising effects
- even becoming instrumental in political protests from Columbia to Iran. How did a 19 year old Harvard student create a company that has transformed the internet & how did he grow it to its current enormous size? Kirkpatrick shows how Zuckerberg steadfastly refused to compromise his vision, insistently focusing on growth over profits & preaching that Facebook must dominate (his word) communication on the internet. IN the process, he & a small group of key executives have created a company that has changed social life in the United States & elsewhere, a company that has become a ubiquitous presence in marketing, altering politics, business, & even our sense of identity. This is the Facebook effect.
