'[An] engaging, inventive literary noir ... full of neat twists and potent writing' Independent Book of the Month\n\n'A feisty, subversive countervision of England's lost futures and buried longings' Rob Doyle, author of Threshold\n\nA Burley Fisher Book of the Year 2023\n\n1969. Thomas Speake comes to London to look for his father but finds Sanderson instead, a larger-than-life TV presenter who hosts 'midweek madness' parties where the punch is spiked with acid. There Speake meets Marnie and promises to help her find her adoptive child, who has been taken by her birth mother to live off-grid in a hippie commune in the Lake District.\n\n Forced to lie low after a violent accident, Speake joins Sanderson on a tour of the Lake District, where he's researching a book to accompany his popular TV series, Sanderson's Isle. Fascinated by local rumours about the hippies, Sanderson joins the search for their whereabouts. Amid the fierce beauty of the mountains, the cult is forming the kind of community that Speake - a drifter who belongs nowhere - is desperate to find but has been sent to betray.\n\nThis is the follow up to James Clarke's Betty Trask Prize-winning debut novel. It is filled with gorgeous nature writing of the urban and the rural, and its portrayal of the moment when British society was unsettled and transformed by the counterculture of the 1960s is visionary and electrifying.\n\n'Psychedelic 1960s London, TV personalities, counterculture in the Lake District, a lost child! Wasn't I always going to read this book? Magnificent' Wendy Erskine, author of Dance Move

Una fortuna sterminata, accumulata nel tempo attraverso attività criminose o moralmente riprovevoli, diventa eredità ambita e contesa. Ma funge anche da cartina di tornasole con la quale l'autore mette a nudo le contraddizioni e gli pseudo valori dell'Inghilterra tardo-vittoriana. Questa è la prima traduzione in italiano.

Nel mondo attuale, per cogliere le opportunità e anticipare i cambiamenti, dobbiamo sviluppare modi per convivere con massicce quantità di dati. Nel lavoro come nello studio e nella vita privata anzitutto abbiamo bisogno di riordinare quello che ci viene detto realmente. La necessità di essere sempre informati e aggiornati, il ritmo accelerato con cui mutano atteggiamenti, comportamenti, conoscenze e con cui sono scambiate le informazioni richiedono lo sviluppo di una raffinata \"capacità d'ascolto\", per evitare equivoci e interpretazioni inesatte. Sviluppare le nuove capacità d'ascolto consente di capire meglio gli altri, acquisire una maggiore abilità nel trattare con le persone, evitare i conflitti, cogliere i segnali deboli. Quando ci si rende conto che passiamo dal 45 al 55% del nostro tempo ascoltando, possiamo capire perché farlo in modo efficace è così vitale. Tutti coloro che hanno successo studenti, imprenditori, dirigenti, professionisti, venditori - sono anzitutto buoni ascoltatori. Come potete indovinare cosa gli altri si attendono da voi se non siete abili nel farvelo dire? Come potete ottenere fiducia se non sapete mettere gli altri a proprio agio \"ascoltandoli\"?

Another classic crime novel featuring Cornwall's Superintendent Wycliffe.\n\nThe girl was young, with auburn hair arranged on the pillow. Wycliffe could almost believe she was asleep - that is, until he saw her face. She had been strangled, and someone had brutally smashed her face - but after death, not before... She lay in a seedy hotel room down by the docks, but her luggage, her clothes and her make-up all suggested she had more class than her surroundings.\n\nSuperintendent Wycliffe was officially on holiday, but the case fascinated him. Who was the girl? Why was she lying naked in a shabby hotel room? What was she doing with a thousand pounds hidden underneath some clothing? And, above all, why had someone mutilated her after she was dead?\n\nAs Wycliffe begins to investigate, he finds there are too many suspects, too many motives - and too many lies . . .

The Cornish Detective series\n\nThe discovery of a body in a quarry creates a baffling case for Detective Superintendent Wycliffe\n\n'First-class, old-time, hyper-ingenious whodunit' OBSERVER\n\nSimon Meagor was a lonely middle-aged man. With a broken marriage behind him, his life was centred on his antiquarian bookshop. In his past was the memory of a murder trial where his evidence had resulted in the conviction of a man who had subsequently killed himself. Now, to his horror, the daughter of that man was applying for a job in his shop and, almost mesmerised by her, Simon found he was agreeing to her employment. Cleverly, over a period of time, Morwenna manipulated herself into his work, his life, and finally into his flat above the shop. And then she disappeared. \n\nWhen her body was discovered in a flooded quarry, at first suicide was considered. Morwenna was suffering from a fatal disease. But everything pointed to murder and, inevitably, suspicion fell on Simon Meagor. \nWycliffe became increasingly disturbed by a case which grew more and more complicated as he explored many dark and murky secrets from the past.
