Robin Moore
Task Force Dagger: The Hunt for Bin Laden
Published June 2003 by Macmillan at £16.99
ISBN: 1405034068
The war against Afghanistan was one of the most secret conflicts in recent history; thousands of journalists covered it, yet, ironically, little is know about how it was waged or what really happened. This book takes the reader into America's War on Terror, from the first top-secret meetings of the Task Force in Tampa on the afternoon of September 11, 2001, through to the liberation of Kabul sixty-two days later and the tragedies of Operation Anaconda - as seen through the eyes of the Green Berets on the ground. This is the story of how only a few hundred men, operating from a secret Special Forces base, changed the course in history in Central Asia and destroyed a one-hundred-thousand-man terrorist army in less than 90 days. For this British edition, the author, Robin Moore, has added an account of the SAS's major contribution to this campaign.

Cath Staincliffe
author of the popular Sal Kilkenny mysteries and the series creator of TV Blue Murder
A historical crime debut as compelling as lain Pears's
It is 1537, a time of revolution that sees the greatest changes
in England since 1066. Henry VIII has proclaimed himself
Supreme Head of the Church. The country is waking up to
savage new laws, rigged trials and the greatest network of
informers ever seen. And under the order of Thomas
Cromwell, a team of commissioners is sent through the
country to investigate the monasteries. There can only be
one outcome: the monasteries are to be dissolved.
But on the Sussex coast, at the monastery of Scarnsea, events
have spiralled out of control. Cromwell's commissioner,
Robin Singleton, has been found dead, his head severed from
his body. His horrific murder is accompanied by equally
sinister acts of sacrilege — a black cockerel sacrificed on the
altar, and the disappearance of Scarnsea's Great Relic.
Dr Matthew Shardlake, lawyer and long-time supporter of
reform, has been sent by Cromwell into this atmosphere
of treachery and death, accompanied by his loyal assistant
Mark. His duty is to uncover the truth behind what has
happened at Scarnsea.
But his investigation forces him not only to question every-
thing that he learns and hears, but also everything that he
intrinsically believes …
C. J. Sansom was educated at Birmingham Unwersity,
where he took a BA and then a PhD in History. After
working in a variety of jobs he decided to retrain as a solicitor
and practised in Sussex, where he still lwes. He now writes
full time and is currently working on a novel set in post
Civil War Spain, after which he plans to write a sequel
to Dissolution.

Bennie's law firm is in trouble, so she takes on a potentially lucrative class action suit to save the day. Meanwhile, her colleague Mary DiNunzio persists in bringing in a case that will just provide more headaches - and laughs - than dollars. But then a mysterious stranger appears just in time to help Bennie in the fight of her life - a fight that turns out to be for her life.
