Book description

Company Man by Joseph Finder
          IN ONE MOMENT…
Nick Conover is the CEO of a major corporation, a local boy made good, and once the most admired man in a company town. But that was before the layoffs. When a faceless stalker menaces his family, Nick, a single father of two since the recent death of his wife, finds that the gated scommunity they live in is no protection at all. He decides to take action, a tragedy ensues – and immediately his life spirals out of control… 
          EVERYTHING YOU LOVE…
At work, Nick begins to uncover a conspiracy against him, involving some of his closest colleagues. He doesn’t know who he can trust – including the brilliant, troubled new woman in his life. Meanwhile, his actions are being probed by a homicide detective named Audrey Rhimes, a relentless investigator with a strong sense of morality – and her own, very personal reason for pursuing Nick Conover. 
          CAN BE DESTROYED…
With everything he cares about in the balance, Nick discovers strengths he never knew he had. His enemies don’t realize how hard he’ll fight to save his company. And nobody knows how far he’ll go to protect his family. 

Outside Chance by Lyndon Stacey
          When the favourite for the Cheltenham Gold Cup is kidnapped, it appears the horse’s owner has things to hide, so although he notifies the police, he also employs a journalist to investigate — with the promise of an exclusive, IF he keeps his mouth shut. 

Contact Zero by David Wolstencroft
          Ben Locke is a recent graduate of Spy School and anxious to succeed on his first assignment. Like everyone in the Agency, he has heard the stories about 'Contact Zero’. When you have nowhere left to turn, when all is lost, only Contact Zero can save you. Some say it an isolated hideout run by ex-members of the Agency. Others say he is a father figure, ready to protect and care for the dispossessed. To most, it is an old spies tale, a myth to be whispered about behind closed doors and quickly dismissed as fantasy. 
          But during Ben’s operation in South America, he is brutally framed for a crime he didnít commit. Barely escaping with his life, he finds himself suddenly cast out by his handlers in London. On this same day, across the globe, seven of his fellow classmates have been found dead. The three left behind – Ben, Lucy, and Nat – must join forces and quickly discover that, myth or no myth, 'Contact Zero’ is their only chance for survival. What ensues is a spellbinding quest that takes them from South America to the capitals of Europe in search of the most elusive treasure a fugitive spy can attain – sanctuary.

Days from a Different World by John Simpson
          ‘I have already touched on my childhood in Strange Places, Questionable People. But the further through life I get the more I want to revisit it. I want to look at the whole of my childhood, the England I grew up in and my family.’ 
          This is not a mere exercise in nostalgia, rather it is a journey through the England of the late 1940s in all its shabby wonder, which also tells the somewhat strange and often deeply painful story of John Simpson’s family. Here we meet his father and his grandmother, still living in the small and rather depressing south London suburb which his family built, dominated and, finally, declined with. We meet the grandfather who drank the family money away and abandoned his wife and children, and the grandfather who toured the country with a Wild West show. We learn, too, of the broken marriages and the unfulfilled lives, of the people who died, and the lives which were just beginning. Candid, beautifully written and touching, Days from a Different World will enchant all those who read it.
