Yet even in this crowded life he found time and opportunity to write some of the finest poems in the language. Troilus and Criseyde is the first modern work of English literature.

These are the Rules
Now, in If Love is a Game, These are the Rules, she presents 10 simple rules to help us find true love and create long-lasting, authentic relationships. After 25 years of conducting workshops and seminars, Cherie has realised that the most important — and possibly the most difficult — part of the human experience is partnership. Everyone is either looking for love or trying to find a way to sustain and feed the love that they already have-and we all know how difficult it can be to navigate love’s tempestuous waters.

Elizabeth George has written 12 internationally bestselling novels before turning her masterly pen to the theme of the serial killer. She brings to that familiar subject a freshness and clarity of vision that provide illuminating insight into the psychological complexity of the tortured criminal mind. She does so within a richly textured, thrillingly suspenseful narrative that defies any reader to predict the outcome. Nor does she neglect our favourite characters, whose private lives provide an engrossing counterpoint to their professional duties. Citizen Vince
For Vince, voting in the coming Presidential election suddenly becomes the most important thing in his life — a symbol that even a guy like him can change. But while Vince is busy remaking himself, his past arrives in town in the form of a contract killer that he recognises from his old life. Has he come to kill Vince? Or was he hired by local gangsters, trying to muscle him out of the credit-card scan he has been running? With three days left until the election, Vince must duck crooks, cops (including a younger and fresher-looking Alan Dupree from Over Tumbled Graves) and an implacable killer, as he tries to figure out a way to save himself, and his dreams. |
