Hubbard-Hall C: Her Secret Service / B

Her Secret Service

The Forgotten Women of British Intelligence

A brilliant young intelligence officer and a troubled heiress stumble into a global conspiracy that pits present-day Russia against the CIA in this electrifying, globetrotting spy thriller. &nbsp; Combining realistic thrills with sophisticated spycraft and witty dialogue, The Collaborators delivers a gut-punch answer to the biggest geopolitical question of our time. How exactly did post-Soviet Russia turn down the wrong path? &nbsp; Criss-crossing the globe on the way to this shocking revelation are disaffected millennial CIA officer Ari Falk, thrown into a moral and professional crisis by the death of his best asset, and brash, troubled LA heiress Maya Chou, spiralling after the disappearance of her Russian American billionaire father. The duo’s adventures take us to both classic and surprising locales&nbsp;– from Berlin and Tangier to Latvia, Belarus and a semi-abandoned technopark outside Moscow. &nbsp; Dynamic, fast-paced and filled with captivating details that provide a window into a secretive world, The Collaborators&nbsp;is a first-rate thriller that pays homage to both meanings of ‘intelligence’. ‘A&nbsp;terrific espionage thriller with a propulsive plot and fantastic twists, but what really sets this book apart is the writing, sparkling on every page’ Chris Pavone, New York Times bestselling author of The Expats and Two Nights in Lisbon ‘Crackles with energy as it veers between international caper and more classic espionage thriller, laced with the promise of romance. Idov . . . brings a pleasing cinematic sweep, insider knowledge of Russia and sharp dialogue to this enjoyable tale as it roams around the world’ Financial Times ‘Gathers stories from the headlines – novichok, Ponzi schemes, Wagner Group mercenaries – and blends them into a hipster spy smoothie’ The Times, Book of the Month ‘A skilful story about manipulative spymasters in Russia and the United States. . . . Switching perspectives and continents and written with vivid intelligence, this is a great example of the international spy novel’ Literary Review ‘Idov breathes fresh air into [the genre] . . . A sparkling new voice in spy thrillers’&nbsp;CrimeTime

An exhilarating debut spy thriller, packed with explosive action and up-to-the-minute tradecraft

Mercatus Studies in Political and Social Economy

“In&nbsp;A Grammar for Riots, authors Nona and Virgil Storr provide a compelling reassessment of the significance of the Burma Road Riot.… Beyond a solid theoretical intervention, the authors are to be commended for the depth of archival and ethnographic research that makes this study an excellent contribution to Bahamian social-political history and larger studies on public disturbances.”—Christopher Curry, author of&nbsp;Freedom and Resistance
"This book provides a fascinating account of the 1942 riot that occurred in the Bahamas.”—Matthew Moran, author of The Republic and the Riots
“As a Bahamian and as someone who has spent years in public service, I fully&nbsp;endorse&nbsp;the powerful and necessary insights that&nbsp;Disruptive Orders brings to our understanding of the 1942 riot and its lasting impact on The Bahamas. This important work reframes the event as a catalyst for change. It does not glorify unrest but provides a thoughtful framework to understand why such moments arise and how they shape the trajectory of a people.”—J. Kwasi Thompson, Member of Parliament for East Grand Bahama and Former Minister of State for Grand Bahama and Finance
“Hayekian spontaneous order meets the theory and practice of urban riots. In&nbsp;Disruptive Orders, Nona and Virgil Storr offer a fascinating and persuasive account of the role of spontaneous street protests in driving social change. Creative social theory at its best.”—Mark Pennington, author of Foucault and Liberal Political Economy
Are riots more than just breakdowns of order? Are rioters just violently and chaotically disrupting the status quo or are they individuals acting together in a&nbsp;surprisingly orderly manner? In Disruptive Orders, Nona Martin Storr and Virgil Henry Storr argue that riots are rule-governed, self-generating, emergent phenomena. Viewing riots as what they call “tensive emergent orders” offers a grammar for discussing riots that foregrounds the motivations and actions of individual rioters, the tacit rules that rioters follow, and the socio-political causes and consequences of riots . Applying this grammar to the 1942 riot that occurred in the Bahamas, Storr and Storr demonstrate how the 1942 riot was not just a momentary outburst but a watershed event in the country’s history, ushering in far-reaching socio-political changes. As we move into an era of frequent extreme protests, Disruptive Orders urges us to rethink why the threatened and marginalized sometimes speak through riots and gives us a framework to assess the impact of their speaking in this way.

Her scholarly work has focused on the political and social histories of disadvantaged communities. She holds a PhD in History from George Mason University and a MA in Public History (with an emphasis in oral history) from Loyola University Chicago.

Tension, Riots, and Social Change

Disrupting Order

The Times best thrillers for April 2026 'A propulsive thriller' Irish Independent 'A tense, fast-paced thriller about moral compromise' i PAPER 'Tom Bradby has created a magnificent woman in Dr Laura Strong. [A] powerfully entertaining novel' Literary Review Life for Dr Laura Strong shouldn't be this hard. Nights working thankless A&amp;E shifts. A much-loved disabled brother to look after. Loan sharks at her door. She needs a miracle to stop her life collapsing around her. The arrival of South American coffee magnate Rafael Fernandez appears to be the answer to her prayers. A devoted father with a sick son requiring a 24/7 care, he is prepared to pay any price for expertise he can trust. But if something appears to be too good to be true, then it probably is. Behind the façade of Rafa's gilded existence lies a dark family history which he has been doing his best to avoid - until the death of his estranged father brings it crashing back into his - and Laura's - world. What had at first seemed to be a remarkable escape from an impossible situation now threatens to destroy everything Laura cares about. Friendless and far from home, she must rely on her own instincts to find a way out of this terrifying new landscape. Sometimes it's easier to trust the devil you know...

<h4>*Longlisted for the CWA ALCS Gold Dagger for Non-Fiction 2026*</h4> <h4>From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Hanns and Rudolf and The House by the Lake comes a gripping true story of murder, war and injustice in Nazi-occupied Florence</h4> 'I absolutely devoured The Einstein Vendetta' EDMUND DE WAAL 'Thomas Harding is a researcher of the first rank' DAILY EXPRESS 'Harding evokes time and place beautifully, while paying forensic attention to detail. The result is a slow burn of cliff-hangers to keep the pages turning' SPECTATOR 'The Einstein Vendetta will tug at your heartstrings and prompt righteous outrage' TELEGRAPH ------ TUSCANY, 1944. German soldiers arrive at a villa on the outskirts of Florence to interrogate the cousin of the world's most famous scientist. Hours later, innocent civilians are dead and the troops have vanished. Weaving together first-hand testimony, unpublished material and original interviews, Thomas Harding tells a dramatic story of vengeance - and of one family's personal torment - as Nazi forces made a last brutal stand ahead of impending Allied liberation.

Hitler, Mussolini, and a true story of murder

The Einstein Vendetta

'Richly-layered and packed with insight, this riveting account of terrible events tells us as much about the present as it does the past' Patrick Bishop, author of Paris '44 From Peter the Great to Putin, a biography of the city Hitler tried - and failed - to wipe off the map The siege of Saint Petersburg - then known as Leningrad - stands as a testament to human endurance. Intended by the Nazis as civilian extermination, the numbers who perished in this 900-day ordeal almost outweighed the entire total of British and American troop deaths in the Second World War. The city's 2.5 million residents began to starve as rations shrank and dwindled. As temperatures plunged to minus 43°C, electricity faltered, and fuel ran out. Yet, amid this suffering, the resilience of culture and hope shone through, with orchestras and theatres defiantly continuing their performances, a flicker of humanity against the backdrop of despair. In Saint Petersburg, bestselling historian Sinclair McKay book chronicles the horrors of the siege through immersive prose and gripping first-hand accounts. He also traces the pivotal importance of Saint Petersburg across the centuries, from Peter the Great's visionary founding of the city to the way it has shaped its most infamous son, Vladimir Putin. From its darkest moments to its enduring spirit, Saint Petersburg explore the layers of history that have shaped this extraordinary place. 'McKay is a gifted writer; his prose has the cadence, tone and power of a Shostakovich symphony. Horror is majestically conveyed' Gerard DeGroot, The Times

“Professor Bobbi Thomason offers us a manifesto to agency—and teaches us what it means to have it, lose it, and reclaim it. Blending science and storytelling, her writing is as brilliant as it is vulnerable.”—Dolly Chugh, professor, New York University Stern School of Business, author of The Person You Mean to Be and A More Just Future Combining raw memoir and rigorous research, this thoughtful and eye-opening work offers a transformative roadmap to reclaim your agency by coloring outside the lines of what society expects. We make many vows in our lifetimes, some big, some small. Some vows are brief and time bound. Others are intended to last a lifetime. Fulfilling those vows is deeply complicated for women. We are often navigating environments that weren't built for us, where a sudden life shock—or just the exhausting weight of small, daily demands—may sideline our goals. After years of studying how can-do women advance in a world that isn't set up for their success, Dr. Bobbi Thomason found herself navigating a difficult divorce and custody battle—and living the very challenges to women's agency that she had been researching. Bobbi knew she needed more than outdated popular advice to make it through, so she returned to the science and reconsidered how to apply it in her own life. In Vows to Ourselves, she chronicles her journey as she examines how women’s power is taken from them by never-ending obligations to others. And yet, while looking out for other people might be part of the problem; it is also part of the solution. Thomason frames agency not as an isolated achievement, but as a shared practice, detailing how women act with and for their village. Grounded in data and her own raw story, this book offers a credible, compassionate blueprint, encouraging women to let go of life's default settings and build a life centered on their own most precious priorities that honors their complicated and multi-faceted selves. Vows to Ourselves will make every woman feel seen and supported. It will invite you to experiment, to put yourself first, and to sculpt the life and career you deserve. Vows to Ourselves offers women:Answers To Why Agency Is So Hard: Dr. Thomason offers a compelling, evidence-based exploration of why even the most ambitious, and high-achieving women find their autonomy hijacked—and the science of how women break free from being stuck. A Story that Resonates: Through raw, vulnerable storytelling that brings the research to life, Dr. Bobbi Thomason shares her own wake-up call, reminding you that it’s never too late to reclaim your life. Overdue Validation: If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or stretched too thin, this book meets you with compassion—reminding you that you are not failing. Real Tools For Real Life: Discover practical, research-backed ways to set boundaries, rediscover your desires, and build a life where your ambitions and relationships can thrive together. A Powerful Invitation To Put Yourself First: Learn how honoring your own needs doesn’t just transform your life—it creates a ripple effect of strength, joy, and possibility for everyone around you.

How Women Reclaim Agency and Why It Matters for All of Us

Vows to Ourselves

This book offers the first detailed study of women's legal status in early modern Liège, an otherwise largely overlooked case in European legal history. It follows women across the course of their lives, from birth to widowhood, to show how their legal position and control over property shifted over time, depending on their social status and place within the family. Drawing on a substantial body of wills and marriage contracts from notarial practice, it moves beyond traditional sources to show how the law actually worked in everyday practice, and who took part in its creation. By bringing all these elements together, this book offers a nuanced picture of how law and gender interacted in early modern Europe.

Christopher Isherwood Inside Out

The shocking true story of the German monarchy's collaboration with the Nazis - an award-winning bestseller in Germany **AWARDED THE GERMAN NON-FICTION PRIZE 2022** 'Malinowksi's work is a near-masterpiece, relating a story not synthesised in this way before, and about which any number of self-serving myths exist' Simon Heffer, Daily Telegraph The disappearance of the Hohenzollern family from the history of Germany in November 1918 as the Kaiser fled into Dutch exile is one of the most startling, rapid instances of a once all-powerful royal family becoming almost overnight irrelevant and marginal. Except this is not exactly what happened. Stephan Malinowski's German bestseller is an extraordinary work of recovery. It suited both the Weimar Republic and then the Third Reich to view the Hohenzollerns with contempt, and yet the royal family's hatred of the former and approval of the latter were for millions of Germans a significant factor in their own view of their country and its government. With forensic and often shocking detail, Malinowski shows that, far from being ridiculous, marginal figures the Hohenzollerns lay at the heart of Germany's ongoing nightmare. Despite formally losing power, the members of the royal family remained prominent, catastrophically allowing many other conservative Germans to stay distanced from the new republic and to eventually betray conservative traditions and values. Battered from both left and right, the Republic collapsed in 1933 in part because conservative forces, fearful of both Communism and Fascism, had abandoned their own principles just as much as the leading members of former royal family had, who were themselves beguiled by and fooled by Hitler. This is an important and shocking book, as well as a devastating picture of an inadequate and trivial royal family painfully underequipped to fulfil its role.

A History of Collaboration

The Hohenzollerns and the Nazis

'An outstanding dual biography... Dinshaw's book is profoundly entertaining, startling in its depth, and a necessary cautionary tale about the human cost of political division' Daily Telegraph Two old friends end up on opposite sides of the English Civil War, in this dazzling history from the acclaimed author of Outlandish Knight At the Inns of Court, the intellectual, literary, and social heart of early 17th century London, many pivotal friendships were forged: few closer than that of Bulstrode Whitelocke and Edward (Ned) Hyde. Both young men were lively characters, industrious, well-connected, principled and optimistic. They dreamed of reforming the government of Charles I, a young court with age-old problems, by restoring the traditional harmony of Crown and Parliament. This is the story of how their hopes climbed, overreached, and fell into an abyss of relentless civil war. This highly original, vivid and engaging book recreates the atmosphere, drama, players and ideas of what is arguably England's (and Britain's) most crucial and traumatic formative period. Through the stories of his two protagonists, Minoo Dinshaw shows how subtle religious and political differences, careful personal judgments, and mere happenstance combined to place these two friends, most reluctantly, on opposite sides in the English Civil Wars. They would both survive, unlike many thousands of others, into old age; both would become influential historians, shaping how we still understand the conflicts of their age. But their friendship, like the once hopeful country in which it had first flourished, would be forever changed: permanently marred by what both men believed to be senseless and unnecessary civil strife.
