SOLDIER, ESCAPER, SPYMASTER, POLITICIAN - Airey Neave was assassinated in the House of Commons car park in 1979.Forty years after his death,Patrick Bishop's lively,action-packed biography examines the life,heroic war and death of one of Britain's most remarkable 20th century figures. Airey Neave was one of the most extraordinary figures of his generation.Taken prisoner during WW2,he was the first British officer to escape from Colditz and using the code name 'Saturday' became a key figure in the IS9 escape and evasion organisation which spirited hundreds of Allied airmen and soldiers out of Occupied Europe. A lawyer by training,he served the indictments on the Nazi leaders at the Nuremburg war trials.An ardent Cold War warrior,he was mixed up in several of the great spy scandals of the period.Most people might consider these achievements enough for a single career,but he went on to become the man who made Margaret Thatcher,mounting a brilliantly manipulative campaign in the 1975 Tory leadership to bring her to power. And yet his death is as fascinating as his remarkable life.On Friday, 30 March 1979,a bomb planted beneath his car exploded while he was driving up the ramp of the House of Commons underground car park, killing him instantly.The murder was claimed by the breakaway Irish Republican group,the INLA.His killers have never been identified. Patrick Bishop's new book,published to mark the 40th anniversary of his death,is a lively and concise biography of this remarkable man.It answers the question of who killed him and why their identities have been hidden for so long and is written with the support of the Neave family.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the "claustrophobic spine-tingler" (People) One by One returns with an unputdownable mystery following a woman on the search for answers a decade after her friend's murder. April Clarke-Cliveden was the first person Hannah Jones met at Oxford. Vivacious, bright, occasionally vicious, and the ultimate It girl, she quickly pulled Hannah into her dazzling orbit. Together, they developed a group of devoted and inseparable friends--Will, Hugh, Ryan, and Emily--during their first term. By the end of the year, April was dead. Now, a decade later, Hannah and Will are expecting their first child, and the man convicted of killing April, former Oxford porter John Neville, has died in prison. Relieved to have finally put the past behind her, Hannah's world is rocked when a young journalist comes knocking and presents new evidence that Neville may have been innocent. As Hannah reconnects with old friends and delves deeper into the mystery of April's death, she realizes that the friends she thought she knew all have something to hide...including a murder. "The Agatha Christie of our generation" (David Baldacci, #1 New York Times bestselling author) proves once again that she is "as ingenious and indefatigable as the Queen of Crime" (The Washington Post) with this propulsive murder mystery that will keep you on the edge of your seat., Gallery/Scout Press, 2022, 6, Berkeley: University of California Press, 2010. (USA) 1st printing. No markings, Fine in Fine dust jacket. Hardcover, xx, 733pp, index, [16]pp of B&W photos. Mark Twain’s complete, uncensored Autobiography was an instant bestseller when the first volume was published in 2010, on the centennial of the author’s death, as he requested. Published to rave reviews, the Autobiography was hailed as the capstone of Twain’s career. It captures his authentic and unsuppressed voice, speaking clearly from the grave and brimming with humor, ideas, and opinions.This volume 2 weaves together his recollections of family, friends and colleagues with candid critques of contemporary society --many of which he considered too provocative to be published in his own lifetime. This volumes starts in April 1906 and ends in February of 1907. (5.0 JM HOQ 103/b1. 1st. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾"., University of California Press, 2010, 5<
