The increasing reputation and wealth of the Cambridge colleges are causing dangerous tensions between the town, Church and University. Matthew Bartholomew is called to look into the deaths of three members of the University of who died from drinking poisoned wine, and soon he stumbles upon criminal activities that implicate his relatives, friends and colleagues - so he must solve the case before matters in the town get out of hand... In the year 1357, Cambridge University is in dire financial straits: the town's landlords are demanding an extortionate rent rise for the students' hostels and the plague years have left the colleges with scant resources.

Book excerpt: Besieged by crime, internal corruption and the threat of revolutionary anarchy, the president created CURE – a government agency which does not exist, and since it does not exist, is not bound by constitutional safeguards. Its mission is to fight crime. To safeguard the country the president had specified that not even the president can give CURE orders. With one exception: he can order it to disband. Exposure was the one big flaw in the entire operation. Now exactly that has happened, and only Remo Williams can save it. Remo is The Destroyer, an ex-cop who should be dead, and is CURE’s number one super-weapon. Trained in the esoteric martial art of Sinanju by his aged mentor, Chiun, Remo is America’s last line of defence. Breathlessly action-packed and boasting a winning combination of thrills, humour and mysticism, the Destroyer is one of the bestselling series of all time.

Book excerpt: We all go a little crazy sometimes... Jasmine has spent five years underground, locked in a secret government bunker. Outside, the world has gone to hell, a mysterious virus killing all but 1 in 20 of the world's population. It's enough to drive anyone mad - but Jasmine's crazier than most. The cure she was working on had an unexpected side effect, psychotic symptoms which only powerful drugs can suppress. Jasmine's rescuers, the pirate rulers of the New Caribbean, don't care. They need Jasmine's help to discover what it is that has turned the inhabitants of Cuba into rabid killers. Jasmine's quest to find a cure for this new plague, as well as for her own madness, draws her across the fractured continent of America and into the darkest recesses of her own past.

Book excerpt: "Delightful... elegant prose and discussions that span the history of 2,000 years of literature."—Publisher's Weekly A novel is a story transmitted from the novelist to the reader. It offers distraction, entertainment, and an opportunity to unwind or focus. But it can also be something more powerful—a way to learn about how to live. Read at the right moment in your life, a novel can—quite literally—change it. The Novel Cure is a reminder of that power. To create this apothecary, the authors have trawled two thousand years of literature for novels that effectively promote happiness, health, and sanity, written by brilliant minds who knew what it meant to be human and wrote their life lessons into their fiction. Structured like a reference book, readers simply look up their ailment, be it agoraphobia, boredom, or a midlife crisis, and are given a novel to read as the antidote. Bibliotherapy does not discriminate between pains of the body and pains of the head (or heart). Aware that you’ve been cowardly? Pick up To Kill a Mockingbird for an injection of courage. Experiencing a sudden, acute fear of death? Read One Hundred Years of Solitude for some perspective on the larger cycle of life. Nervous about throwing a dinner party? Ali Smith’s There but for The will convince you that yours could never go that wrong. Whatever your condition, the prescription is simple: a novel (or two), to be read at regular intervals and in nice long chunks until you finish. Some treatments will lead to a complete cure. Others will offer solace, showing that you’re not the first to experience these emotions. The Novel Cure is also peppered with useful lists and sidebars recommending the best novels to read when you’re stuck in traffic or can’t fall asleep, the most important novels to read during every decade of life, and many more. Brilliant in concept and deeply satisfying in execution, The Novel Cure belongs on everyone’s bookshelf and in every medicine cabinet. It will make even the most well-read fiction aficionado pick up a novel he’s never heard of, and see familiar ones with new eyes. Mostly, it will reaffirm literature’s ability to distract and transport, to resonate and reassure, to change the way we see the world and our place in it. "This appealing and helpful read is guaranteed to double the length of a to-read list and become a go-to reference for those unsure of their reading identities or who are overwhelmed by the sheer number of books in the world."—Library Journal

Book excerpt: In this unique book, the author reveals for the first time the specific details of the long-held secret knowledge of Kappo - Sappo, the esoteric cure or kill techniques of the ancient jujitsu systems of Japan. By definition, cure or kill means that the same points one stimulates to start a person's heart or breathing that has stopped are the same points one stimulates to stop someone's heart or breathing. The author, who has studied with the most senior teachers of four branches of the Okazaki tradition, presents the extensive collection of the Kappo techniques of the Kodenkan - Dan Zan Ryu jujitsu system of Master Henry Okazaki; he explains in extensive detail more than 53 Kappo techniques, options, and variations, as well as examining the traditions of secrecy that surround this subject. In keeping with the Okazaki example and spirit, he is one of the first teachers to break with the tradition of secrecy surrounding Kappo - Sappo. This knowledge is necessary for all serious students of martial arts, and should be relevant to anyone with an interest in traditional Japanese medicine, trauma medicine, natural cures, restorative medicine, and/or Traditional Chinese Medicine.
