A Memoir

From the Baillie Gifford Prize-winning and Sunday Times bestselling author of Empire of Pain and Say Nothing comes a riveting story of wealth, violence and deceit at the heart of a glittering city. 'A defining book of our time' - Johanna Thomas-Corr, The Times 'A masterpiece' - The Observer 'Compulsive' - The Guardian 'Breathtaking' - Jon Ronson 'Phenomenal' - Emily Maitlis 'More addictive than any box set' - Sathnam Sanghera In 2019, a London teenager, Zac Brettler, fell to his death from a luxury apartment building on the banks of the Thames. On a desperate quest to understand how their son had died, his grieving parents made a terrible discovery: Zac had been leading a fantasy life, posing as the son of a wealthy Russian oligarch. Patrick Radden Keefe follows Zac's parents on a dark journey to find out what brought him to the balcony that night - and how a teenager's life of make-believe drew him into the city's terrifying underworld.

A Mysterious Death in a Gilded City and a Family’s Search for Truth

London Falling

SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 'Outstanding' - The Guardian 'Superb' - The Telegraph 'A must read' - Anne Sebba 'Lively' - The Times They seemed to be polar opposites . . . Augustus: vivid, volatile and promiscuous. He was a hero among romantics and bohemians, celebrated as one of the great British talents of his generation. Gwen's art was magnificent, but she was also more reserved, and as a woman she struggled for the recognition which has only come to her now, years after her death. Artists, Siblings, Visionaries is a riveting story of love, infidelity, betrayal, and of two extraordinary siblings whose art and lives subverted society's expectations.

In July 1973, at the age of 21, Mark Constantine OBE started making herbal hair products while studying to become a trichologist. Over 50 years later he still works out of his first hair and beauty clinic in Poole High Street, although today at the head of the global cosmetics retailer LUSH.Dear Johntells the rags to riches story of how a headstrong young man went from earning £20 a week treating hair and scalp conditions with home-made remedies; to becoming the major product inventor for The Body Shop; and co-founding the LUSH natural cosmetics brand operating 900 shops in over 45 countries.Mark's story came to a grinding halt in March 2020 when the Covid pandemic closed almost every LUSH shop in the world. Coming hard on the heels of Brexit, another body blow for LUSH which employs thousands of EU citizens both in the UK and across Europe, things couldn't get much worse. Unless you happened to operate 50 shops in Russia and Ukraine and a tragedy was about to envelop your family.Before all of Mark's success, two boys growing up in the seaside resort of Weymouth began a 60-year friendship, where one was the hare and the other, the tortoise. That journey reached an epic climax in South Africa in 2012 and it spurred the hare to keep on running even harder than before. Another decade has passed but the tortoise has finally caught up again, and is the author of this expanded second edition of Dear John, which brings the often controversial life of Mark Constantine and the story of LUSH right up to date.

The Life Story of Mark Constantine CEO and the Creation of Lush

Dear John

Elizabeth Baxter has heard it all. Thieves, rapists, drug dealers, burglars, murderers, abusers and arsonists - they've all confided in her.

Some are harder to shake than others. There's sweet, baby-faced Stella who hurled a brick through her ex's window and threatened to cut off his... well, you get the picture. Jake, who burned down his grandfather's shed and prized model railway collection. And who could forget Steve, who set up a complex marmite-based distillery in his cell. The moonshine wasn't for drinking though, but for cleaning. He remains, in Elizabeth's professional opinion, Britain's most fastidious murderer.

Recalling her twenty-five years in Britain's probation service, Elizabeth Baxter offers a fresh perspective on care within the criminal justice system. Warm and humane, A Murderer's Guide to Cleaning pays tribute to the work of probation officers everywhere, who not only protect the public, but often act as the final safety net for society's most vulnerable, from teenage asylum seekers to survivors of domestic abuse.

Longlisted for the Gordon¿Burn¿Prize 2025'A shocking story of serial killers, twisted idealism and a country that looked away' Rory Carroll, bestselling author of Killing Thatcher¿In a tour de force of investigative journalism, White Terror tells for the first time the story of the National Socialist Underground in Germany - in an engrossing global story that examines violence, modern racism and national trauma.Not long after the Berlin Wall fell, three teenagers became friends in the East German town of Jena. It was a time of excitement, but also of deep uncertainty: some four million East Germans found themselves out of a job. At first the three friends spent their nights wandering the streets, smoking, drinking, looking for trouble. Then they began attending far-right rallies with people who called themselves National Socialists: Nazis. Like the Hitler-led Nazis before them, they blamed minorities for their ills. Believing foreigners were a threat to their homeland, the three friends embarked on the most horrific string of white nationalist killings since the Holocaust. Their target: immigrants.In a tour de force of investigative journalism and novelistic storytelling, White Terror follows the National Socialist Underground, or NSU, from their radicalisation as young skinheads through their transformation into fully fledged terrorists carrying out bombings and assassinations while living on the run. But it's also about something almost as terrifying: the German police and intelligence services that missed clues, mishandled far-right informants and repeatedly tried to paint the immigrant victims as mafiosos. Once the terror plot was revealed, the authorities shredded documents to cover up their mistakes and refused to acknowledge that their racism had led them astray.A masterwork of reporting, White Terror reveals how a group of young Germans carried out a shocking spree of white supremacist violence, and how a nation and its government ignored them until it was too late.

Offen für einen Neubeginn mit allen Konsequenzen, hört sie zu, was der Tumor ihr sagt und schreibt - mit ihm als "Freund und Begleiter" im Miteinander von Schul- und Komplementärmedizin - eine Geschichte des Heilwerdens.

Mit bedingungsloser Freude am Dasein bringt sie gesellschaftliche Tabus, ungeliebte Gefühle und Gedanken ins Licht und birgt aus der tiefsten Krise staunende Leichtigkeit. Sie führt uns die Kraft der Wandlung vor Augen, die in unserer Verletztheit liegt. Ein tief berührendes, mutiges und ermutigendes Buch.

Seit ich noch da bin

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 'A raw, intimate story of trust and betrayal' - A. L. Kennedy, The Guardian 'It's heartbreaking. It's scary. It's beautiful' - Fredrik Backman, author of A Man Called Ove Will You Care If I Die? is a powerful memoir about social class, race, friendship and unexpected love, and a blazingly topical exploration of social polarization and the rise of the far right. In Sweden, where children murder children and where gun violence is the worst in Europe, Nicolas Lunabba's job as a social organizer with Malmö's underclass requires firm boundaries and emotional detachment. But all that changes when he meets Elijah - an unruly teenage boy of mixed heritage whose perilous future reminds Nicolas of his own troubled and violent past. Allowing Elijah into his home and then into his heart, Nicolas crosses one of his own red lines. With the odds stacked against them, and completely unprepared for the journey he and Elijah now set off on together, can Nicolas keep Elijah safe from harm and steer him towards a better future? Written as a letter to Elijah, Will You Care If I Die? tells Nicolas and Elijah's story - and asks us to reimagine what it means to care for one another in an uncaring world. Translated from the Swedish by Henning Koch

Will You Care If I Die?

From the Baillie Gifford Prize-winning and Sunday Times bestselling author of Empire of Pain and Say Nothing comes a riveting story of wealth, violence and deceit at the heart of a glittering city. 'Gripping, rigorous, smart . . . breathtaking' - Jon Ronson 'Patrick Radden Keefe [is] one of the top narrative nonfiction authors of his generation' - TIME 'A phenomenal book that will stay in your soul long after the last page . . . London Falling captures how easily a life can go wrong in the shadows of a city bankrolled by billionaires' - Emily Maitlis In 2019, a London teenager, Zac Brettler, fell to his death from a luxury apartment building on the banks of the Thames. On a desperate quest to understand how their son had died, his grieving parents made a terrible discovery: Zac had been leading a fantasy life, posing as the son of a wealthy Russian oligarch. Patrick Radden Keefe follows Zac's parents on a dark journey to find out what brought him to the balcony that night - and how a teenager's life of make-believe drew him into the city's terrifying underworld.

Untamed and Endearing is a stark account of the challenges and difficulties involved in adopting a child marked by suffering in their family of origin and unprotected by social institutions. With moving honesty and supported by his professional experience, José Angel Giménez recounts his experience as the adoptive father of a 10-year-old boy and offers many keys, both technical and educational, for all those who may find themselves in a similar situation. This story is, above all, a hymn to hope. A journey to be experienced as a wonderful adventure of commitment, love, and understanding that enables the development of fruitful interpersonal and social bonds for a more fulfilling life.

First ever deluxe slipcased edition of the comprehensive collection of letters spanning the adult life of one of the world's greatest storytellers, now revised and expanded to include more than 150 previously unseen letters, with revealing new insights into The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, a featuring a special frontispiece.J.R.R. Tolkien, creator of the languages and history of Middle-earth as recorded in The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, was one of the most prolific letter-writers of this century. Over the years he wrote a mass of letters - to his publishers, to members of his family, to friends, and to 'fans' of his books - which often reveal the inner workings of his mind, and which record the history of composition of his works and his reaction to subsequent events.A selection from Tolkien's correspondence, collected and edited by Tolkien's official biographer, Humphrey Carpenter, and assisted by Christopher Tolkien, was published in 1981. It presented, in Tolkien's own words, a highly detailed portrait of the man in his many aspects: storyteller, scholar, Catholic, parent, friend, and observer of the world around him.In this revised and expanded edition of The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, it has been possible to go back to the editors' original typescripts and notes, restoring more than 150 letters that were excised purely to achieve what was then deemed a 'publishable length', and present the book as originally intended.Enthusiasts for his writings will find much that is new, for the letters not only include fresh information about Middle-earth, such as Tolkien's own plot summary of the entirety of The Lord of the Rings and a vision for publishing his 'Tales of the Three Ages', but also many insights into the man and his world. In addition, this new selection will entertain anyone who appreciates the art of letter-writing, of which J.R.R. Tolkien was a master.

Lessons from a High Flyer is the inspiring story of Michael Bishop, the boy who loved airplanes so much he built an airline. Lessons from a High Flyer is the inspiring story of Michael Bishop, the boy who loved airplanes so much he built an airline. Unhappy at public school, and passing only one exam in his life, he went on to become a major figure in global air travel, chair a national broadcaster, be honoured with a knighthood and elevated to the House of Lords. Along the way he suffered disaster - showing intuitive empathy in responding to a horrific air accident - and battled hard against the might of the establishment major airlines. He went into politics, championed human rights, donated millions to the arts and charities through the Michael Bishop Foundation, and meticulously restored two stately homes. His is a tale, told modestly with grace and humour, that truly lifts the heart and shows that there is really no such thing as impossible.
