The next must-read page-turner from Sunday Times bestselling author Richard Madeley. A man’s body is discovered in the centre of an ancient Roman amphitheatre, a relic from the Imperial past that still stands outside modern-day Cirencester. The man has been crucified, Roman-style, inverted on a rough wooden cross in the shape of an X.   As mystified police launch their investigation and a sensationalised media theirs, one thing quickly becomes apparent: the dead man was a dedicated internet troll, targeting young women with vile abuse and threats. Was his gruesome murder some form of revenge... or will he be merely the first to be executed in this manner?   Rome has returned to Albion - and it is demanding a blood ransom...        Praise for Richard Madeley: 'An authentic and exciting story. The perfect summer read' CLARE MACKINTOSH 'Original, unexpected and thrilling'  JOJO MOYES 'Immaculate storytelling, pacey and beautifully written'  SADIE JONES 'An unsettlingly tense treat'  HEAT 'A perfect summer read with a shocking twist'  OK! 

Richard Madeley is fascinated by the speed of change in family life and how being a father has changed since the time of his father and grandfather. InFathers & Sons, Richard looks back at his own family to illustrate just how far British men's relationships with their sons have moved. Richard's grandfather had a childhood of almost unimaginable betrayal and sadness. His family abandoned him as a child to older relatives and emigrated without telling him. He grew up in a miserable situation and without any positive parenting role models yet managed to marry and have a son of his own. Richard's father was aware of his own father's discomfort and occasional frustration and anger, and grew to understand that this was due to his upbringing. He remembers no affection, or endearments from his dad and was packed off to a desolate boarding school in an echo of his own father's betrayal. In a bucking of the family trend, Richard's mother, a Canadian, introduced more loving and demonstrative relationships which Richard has continued with his own son and step-sons. Both a family story and a wide-ranging look at Britain's evolving social character, Fathers & Sonsis a uniquely honest and touching exploration of how our families operate.

Richard and Judy are the nation's best-loved couple. On television together for 18 years, they fronted the most popular daytime programme ever - This Morning - for 13 of those years and their departure from it gave rise to huge newspaper coverage when they left it in 2001. Now back with their top-rated Channel 4 show, they write the full story of their lives - their chilhoods, unsuccessful first marriages, and of course their own professional and personal lives together. In these brilliantly juxtaposed accounts, we hear about Judy's many health problems and how Richard coped with the lowest points. We hear how both of them survived his court ordeal on a shoplifting charge, how Judy felt on baring more than her soul at a TV awards ceremony, why they left This Morning, and how they handle home and work and parenthood - as well as the ever-curious press. Opening up their hearts, minds and daily lives as never before, this book is set to be the top-selling title of 2003.

'An authentic and exciting story. The perfect summer read' -- Clare Mackintosh, author of the bestselling I LET YOU GO From the author of the bestselling Some Day I'll Find You comes a novel of dark suspense set in the Lake District where, beneath the inviting water of the lakes, danger and death are waiting. The summer of 1976 was unprecedented in living memory. Days of blazing sunshine bled into weeks and months. In the Lake District, Cumbria's mountains and valleys began to resemble a Grecian landscape. People swam in delightfully tropic waters to cool off. But, barely three feet below the surface, the temperature remained just a degree or so above freezing. As the summer blazed on, the drownings began... What if someone wanted to take revenge? To remove an abusive, controlling partner from their life? When and where better to stage a murder and pass it off as an accidental drowning?
