On a bright & sunny June afternoon a seven-year-old boy was left in the care of his teenage neighbour. No one knew or would even have dreamed of suspecting that the teenager was a satanist. The two went out to the fields to look for rabbits. The child was never seen alive again. For the first time in The Boy in the Attic" David Malone reveals the exact events of that summer day: how the youngster was lured to his death how the teenager came to delve so deeply into the occult & the nightmarish scene awaiting police when they entered the attic. But there is another disturbing question
- how is it that this murder which was easily one of the most shocking & horrific in living memory was barely reported upon at all? Why have you never heard of the boy in the attic until now?"

This is almost all of what survives of a journal Colin Perry kept between March & November 1940 when he was eighteen years old written in his home in Tooting & in the City of London where he worked. The journal was never intended for publication it is only the youthful untrained outpourings of a proud & totally insignificant Londoner. It spans what the Air Ministry was to call.. .the Great Days from 8 August
- 31 October 1940 & the fifty-seven nights when the bombing of London was unceasing. This is the period enshrined in our history as the Battle of Britain the most momentous year for Britain in the twentieth century.

On 21st September 2001 the mutilated torso of a small child was found floating beside Londons Tower Bridge one tide away from being swept into the North Sea. Unable to identify the victim the Murder Squad turned to Richard Hoskins a young professor of theology with a profound understanding of African tribal religion whose own past was scarred by a heartbreaking tragedy. Thus began a journey into the tangled undergrowth of one of the most notorious murder cases of recent years; a journey which would reveal not only the identity of the boy they called Adam but the horrific truth that a succession of innocent children have been ritually sacrificed in our capital city. Insightful & grippingly written The Boy in the River is an inside account of a series of extraordinary criminal investigations & a compelling personal quest into the dark heart of humanity. ...

The story of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is very difficult to describe. Usually we give some clues about the book on the cover but in this case we think that would spoil the reading of the book. We think it is important that you start to read without knowing what it is about. If you do start to read this book you will go on a journey with a nine-year-old boy called Bruno. (Though this isn't a book for nine-year-olds.) & sooner or later you will arrive with Bruno at a fence. We hope you never have to cross such a fence. ...

Lines may divide us but hope will unite us.. . Nine-year-old Bruno knows nothing of the Final Solution & the Holocaust. He is oblivious to the appalling cruelties being inflicted on the people of Europe by his country. All he knows is that he has been moved from a comfortable home in Berlin to a house in a desolate area where there is nothing to do & no one to play with. Until he meets Shmuel a boy who lives a strange parallel existence on the other side of the adjoining wire fence & who like the other people there wears a uniform of striped pyjamas. Bruno's friendship with Shmuel will take him from innocence to revelation. & in exploring what he is unwittingly a part of he will inevitably become subsumed by the terrible process. ...

Some things are just sitting there minding their own business & waiting to be discovered. Like America. & other things are probably better off left alone. Nine-year-old Bruno has a lot of things on his mind. Who is the Fury? Why did he make them leave their nice home in Berlin to go to Out-With ? & who are all the sad people in striped pyjamas on the other side of the fence? The grown-ups wont explain so Bruno decides there is only one thing for it
- he will have to explore this place alone. What he discovers is a new friend. A boy with the very same birthday. A boy in striped pyjamas. But why cant they ever play together?
