Rob Roy Mac Gregor was mytholigised by Sir Walter Scott but was very much a fact in the Trossachs of Scotland in the late 17th & early 18th centuries. Scott's romantic image is however far from the rogue which Nigel Tranter portrays in this classic work. Mac Gregor was an arch blackmailer protection-racketeer & thorn in the flesh of the Hanoverian Government & their right hand men the Campbells. This factual narrative firmly debunks the legend of Rob Roy as a romantic Scottish folk hero & reveals the true nature of one of Scotland's most charismatic historical figures. ...

Running through the heart of Colombia is a river emblematic of the fascination & tragedy of South America the Magdalena. Considered by some the most dangerous place in the world travellers along the river
- for centuries the only route into the vast South American interior
- were at the mercy of tropical disease dangerous animals & precarious barges. A third of the victims of 'la violencia' Colombia's period of civil conflict which began in the 1950s ended up in its waters. Townships alongside it have experienced some of the worst massacres in South American history. In 2011 Michael Jacobs travelled its whole length to the river's source high up in Andean moorlands controlled by guerrillas. In spellbinding prose The Robber of Memories charts the dangers he negotiated
- including the claustrophobic snail-slow journey upriver by a vast tugboat & a terrifying three day encounter with the FARC
- while uncovering the river's history of pioneering explorations environmental decline & political violence. An extra dimension was added to his journey by a chance meeting with Gabriel Garcia Marquez whose memories are rapidly fading & increasingly concentrate on the enchanted Magdalena of his youth. As Jacobs delves into the history of destruction & decay along the river he also makes a deeply personal exploration into memory & its loss. Coincidentally not far from the river's banks lies a group of townships with the highest incidence of early onset Alzheimer's in the world. Jacobs reflects on the lives of his father & his mother
- sufferers respectively from Alzheimer's & dementia
- as he travels upstream towards what comes to seem like a heartland of mystery magic & darkness.
