Once you're in, there's only one way out...Tired of always doing
the dirty work with little reward, Danny McKay wants out of the
gangland life. But his boss, Freddie Smith, has other ideas... As
the current Top Dog of the East End, Freddie knows he must protect
his reign at all costs and if that means disposing of his much
younger, much stronger, number two, then so be it. Now, with a
price on his head, Danny must use all of his wits and connections
to stay one step ahead of Freddie - he knows his old boss won't
give up without a fight to the death. But with a turf war looming,
the question is who will survive and who will be crowned Top Dog.

for fans of Kimberley Chambers, Heather Atkinson and Caz Finlay.
Please note this is a re-release of Top Dog, previously published

One more journey to the universe of Roberto Bolano, an essential
voice of contemporary Latin American literature Cowboy Graves is an
unexpected treasure from the vault of a revolutionary talent.
Roberto Bolano's boundless imagination and seemingly inexhaustible
gift for shaping the chaos of his reality into fiction is
unmistakable in these three novellas. In "Cowboy Graves," Arturo
Belano--Bolano's alter ego--returns to Chile after the coup to
fight with his comrades for socialism. "French Comedy of Horrors"
takes the reader to French Guiana on the night after an eclipse
where a seventeen year old answers a pay phone and finds himself
recruited into the Clandestine Surrealist Group, a secret society
of artists based in the sewers of Paris. And in "Fatherland," a
young poet reckons with the fascist overthrow of his country, as
the woman he is obsessed with disappears in the ensuing violence
and a Third Reich fighter plane mysteriously writes her poetry in
the sky overhead. These three fiercely original tales bear the
signatures of Bolano's extraordinary body of work, echoing the
strange characters and uncanny scenes of his triumphs, while
deepening our reverence for his gifts.

War and Peace is a vast epic centred on Napoleon's war with Russia.
While it expresses Tolstoy's view that history is an inexorable
process which man cannot influence, he peoples his great novel with
a cast of over five hundred characters. Three of these, the artless
and delightful Natasha Rostov, the world-weary Prince Andrew
Bolkonsky and the idealistic Pierre Bezukhov illustrate Tolstoy's
philosophy in this novel of unquestioned mastery. This translation
is one which received Tolstoy's approval.
