«This is a book about growing up and being young, about sex and love and rock and roll, about the dreams of youth colliding head-on with the grown-up world. Sometimes you can grow up in just one night... It is 16th August 1977 — the day that Elvis dies — and Terry is back from Berlin, basking in the light of his friendship with legendary rock star Dag Wood. But when Dag arrives in London he sets his sights on a mysterious young photographer called Misty, the girl that Terry loves. Will the love of Terrys life survive this hot summers night? Ray is the only writer on the inky music weekly The Paper who refuses to cut his hair and stop wearing flares. On the eve of being sacked, Ray finds comfort in the arms of an older woman called Mrs Brown. But John Lennon is in town for just one night and Ray believes that if he can interview the reclusive Beatle, he can save his job. Can John Lennon and the love of an older woman really save a young mans soul? Leon is on the run from a gang called the Dagenham Dogs who have taken exception to one of his bitchy reviews. Hiding out in a disco called «The Goldmine», Leon meets Ruby — the dancing queen of his dreams. But will true love or the Dagenham Dogs find Leon before the night is over? Tony Parsons goes back to his roots for this deeply personal book — the story he has been waiting to tell.»

«A dark offering from the Queen of Crime. This Agatha Christie Signature Edition represents the world-famous authors most successful foray into the dark world of murder and black magic. To understand the strange goings on at «The Pale Horse Inn», Mark Easterbrook knew he had to begin at the beginning. But where exactly was the beginning? Was it the savage blow to the back of Father Gormans head? Or was it when the priests assailant searched him so roughly he tore the clergymans cassock? Or could it have been the priests visit, just minutes before, to a woman on her death bed? Or was there a deeper significance to the violent squabble which Mark Easterbrook had himself witnessed earlier? Wherever the beginning lies, Mark and his sidekick, Ginger Corrigan, may soon have cause to wish theyd never found it...»

One of the new Agatha Christie Signature Edition paperbacks — combining love, death and melodrama blended together as only Agatha Christie can. Gipsys Acre was a truly beautiful upland site with views out to sea — and in Michael Rogers it stirred a child-like fantasy. There, amongst the dark fir trees, he planned to build a house, find a girl and live happily ever after. Yet, as he left the village, a shadow of menace hung over the land. For this was the place where accidents happened. Perhaps Michael should have heeded the locals warnings: Theres no luck for them as meddles with Gipsys Acre. Michael Rogers is a man who is about to learn the true meaning of the old saying In my end is my beginning...
