to conspire against you.
*AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW* A sheriff investigates his own
brother's murder, deep in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains...
Estranged after a devastating betrayal, brothers Victor and Frank
Landis - sheriffs of neighbouring counties - hadn't spoken for
years. In truth, Victor didn't care if Frank was alive or dead.
Until the day somebody killed him. Crossing county lines in search
of answers, Victor is soon on the trail of a sinister conspiracy
that takes him deep into the heart of the Appalachian Mountains.
From the poorest communities to the most powerful and corrupt
organisations, he soon becomes ensnared in a dangerous web of
drugs, trafficking and murder. For Victor, finding the truth will
mean uncovering dark secrets he'd rather have left buried, and
risking everything to protect the family his brother left behind...

A Quiet Belief in Angels is one of them' JAMES PATTERSON 'A
uniquely gifted, passionate, and powerful writer' ALAN FURST
"Like all the best meetings of Jewish minds, this book will make
you think, argue and see the world anew." Hadley Freeman, author of
House of Glass Conspiracy theories about Jews are back in the
mainstream. The Pittsburgh gunman who murdered 11 people in a
synagogue claimed that 'filthy evil' Jews were bringing 'filthy
evil' Muslims into America. The billionaire philanthropist George
Soros has been accused of supporting 'white genocide'. Labour Party
members have claimed that Israel is behind ISIS. The belief that
Jews are plotting against society never dies, it just adapts to
suit the times: from medieval accusations that Jews murder
Christians for their blood to claims that Zionists are seeking to
control the world. In eight short essays, edited by Jo Glanville,
this book goes back to the source of the conspiracy theories and
traces their journey into the 21st century in a bid to make sense
of their survival. With contributions from some of the great Jewish
writers and thinkers of our time, including Tom Segev, Jill Jacobs
and Mikhail Grynberg, this is a fresh take on the roots of
antisemitism that explores how an irrational belief can still
flourish in a supposedly rational age.
A. G. Spalding was a key figure in the professionalization and
commercialization of American sports. Co-founder of baseball's
National League, owner of the Chicago White Stockings (later the
Cubs), and founder of a sporting goods business that made him a
millionaire, Spalding not only willed baseball to be our national
pastime but also contributed to making sport a significant part of
American life.
This biography captures the zest, flamboyance, and creativity of
Albert Goodwell Spalding, a man of insatiable ego, a showman and
entrepreneur, whose life illuminated the hopes and fears of
19th-century Americans. It is a vivid evocation of the vanished
world of 19th-century baseball, recreating a time when it was
transformed from a game played on unkempt fields to modern
style.
