Even before Tim Le Page and his new wife, Anna, can leave for their honeymoon, he is called back to investigate an attempted murder. But this is no ordinary case, the victim is Tim’s mother. Drifting from one lover to another, Lorna has never been the maternal type and, as a result, she has made more than her fair share of enemies. In particular, Tim can’t help feeling that Simon, the latest escort to materialise at Lorna’s side, is too young even for his glamorous mother. But if Simon isn’t interested in Lorna, then what is he doing in Guernsey? With professional detachment hampered by family loyalty, Le Page knows he must solve this case, and soon – his mother’s life may depend on it.

Claude and Madeleine - Edward Marriott - Bog - Pan Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

When Claude Peri and Madeleine Bayard meet in the 1930s, they fall immediately and passionately in love. Soulmates and lovers, they work together on missions as spies for the French Government -- but on returning to Paris in 1939, they are appalled to see their countrymen flee the capital in terror as the German army advances. In an act of typical defiance, they escape -- not to capitulate, but to fight for the other side. Claude and Madeleine tells how, aboard their beloved ship SS Le Rhin, they abandon their allegiance to France and gradually pass from the French secret service into the heart of British Intelligence. Claude becomes a Royal Navy commander; Madeleine a cipher officer in the WRNS. After mutiny, mistrust, and against incredible odds, SS Le Rhin becomes HMS Fidelity; in 1942, Claude -- with Madeleine at his side -- commands HMS Fidelity on her most dangerous mission yet, heading back to the Japanese-occupied Far East on what they anticipate will be their final campaign . . . Full of tantalizing adventure, taking the reader from Hanoi to Calcutta, the Mediterranean to the midwinter Atlantic Ocean, Claude and Madeleine combines social history, politics, travel and biography in a moving and extraordinary true story.

The Speed of Dark - Ian Duhig - Bog - Pan Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Speed of Dark - Ian Duhig - Bog - Pan Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Ian Duhig''s The Speed of Dark is structured around his astonishing reworking of the text of Le Roman de Fauvel , a medieval text that railed against the corruption of the 12th-century French court and church. In Duhig''s hands, however, the tale of the power-mad horse-king Fauvel gains a terrifying and almost prophetic contemporary relevance, and is identified with more recent crusades, crazed ambitions and insatiable greeds. Elsewhere Duhig''s many admirers will be delighted by his new ballads and elegies, his erudite high jinks and his low gags - with which he builds on the new imaginative territory he staked out in The Lammas Hireling to such universal acclaim. The Speed of Dark again shows Duhig as one the most capacious and brilliant minds in contemporary poetry. ''The most original poet of his generation'' Carol Ann Duffy, Guardian ''His poetry is learned, rude, elegant, sly and funny, mixing gilded images, belly-laughs and esoteric lore about language (including Irish), art, history, politics and children''s word-games'' Ruth Padel, Independent on Sunday ''Duhig telescopes topical allusions, scholarly references and coarse humour into tightly-shaped, surreal poems which burst open with explosive moral force'' Alan Brownjohn, Sunday Times

Lights Out, Full Throttle - Johnny Herbert - Bog - Pan Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Drawing on a lifetime of sniffing petrol fumes, Lights Out, Full Throttle stands large over the landscape of Formula One and takes the temperature of the good, the bad and the ugly of the petrolhead’s paradise. Johnny Herbert and Damon Hill between them competed in 261 Grands Prix, amassing twenty-five wins, forty-nine podium finishes, one World Championship, 458 championship points, a Le Mans win, two smashed ankles, a broken arm, wrist and leg, sixty broken ribs, and two bruised egos.Having retired from racing, Johnny and Damon have become the one constant for passionate English F1 fans in a rapidly changing landscape. They have earned cult status as commentators and pundits, with viewers loving their unerring dedication to the sport’s greatness.It offers F1 fans a tour of the sport – from Monaco to Silverstone; Johnny’s crowd surfing and Bernie’s burger bar; the genius of Adrian Newey and Colin Chapman; why Lewis Hamilton will never, ever move to Ferrari (probably); getting the yips; money; safety; what it’s like to have an out-of-body experience while driving a car in the pouring rain at 200 mph; and the future of the sport in the wake of Covid-19 and Black Lives Matter. Whether you’re a fan of Nigel, Niki, Kimi or Britney, pine for the glory days of Brabham, Williams, Jim Clark and Fangio, or believe that Lewis is one year away from retiring as the GOAT, Lights Out, Full Throttle is the oily rag for the petrolhead fan to inhale while waiting for the racers to line up on the grid.
