Mark Billingham
Lifeless

But at Amazon.co.uk Mark Billingham Lifeless Published May 2005 by timewarner Audio at £0.00 ISBN: 1 4055 0023 9
Read by Robert Glenister
Tom Thorne’s career is on the skids. Depressed by the recent loss of his father, berated for overstepping the mark on his last case, he’s been ‘encouraged’ to take leave. It’s a fairly dire situation. But not as dire as the situation for London’s homeless. Three vagrants have been found murdered in the last month, each with a £20 note pinned to his chest. Were they just random jetsam - or were they targeted for a reason?
With his deputy, Dave Holland, as his only contact, Thorne is seconded to the streets. Not as a policeman, but as one of life’s rejects. It fits: he looks the part - and feels it as well. In this twilight netherworld he finds a society with its own rules and its own moral code. And the word on these streets is that the killer is a cop.

But at Amazon.co.uk Mark Billingham Sleepyhead Published July 2005 by timewarner Audio at £0.00 ISBN: 1 4055 0015 8
Read by Robert Glenister
His first three victims ended up dead. His fourth was not so fortunate ...
Alison Willetts is unlucky to be alive. She has survived a stroke, deliberately induced by a skilful manipulation of pressure points on the head and neck. She can see, hear and feel; she is aware of everything going on around her, but she is completely unable to move or communicate. It’s called Locked-In Syndrome. In leaving Alison Willetts alive, the police believe the killer has made his first mistake. Then DI Tom Thorne discovers the horrifying truth: it isn’t Alison who is the mistake; it’s the three women already dead.

Read by Roger Lloyd Pack
CD Version
X marks the spot – and when the spot is a corpse’s naked back and the X is carved in blood, DI Tom Thorne is in no doubt that the dead man is the latest victim of a particularly vicious contract killer. This is turf warfare between North London gangs. Gangland boss Billy Ryan is moving into someone else’s patch, and that someone is not best pleased.
Thorne soon discovers a link between his case and the death of a young girl set alight in a school playground twenty years earlier; past and present fuse together to form a new and very nasty riddle. And when an X is carved on Thorne’s front door, he knows that the smouldering embers of a long-dead case are about to erupt into flames…

Read by Kenny Blyth
New century, new parliament, new Scotland. In fact, it’s more like the early nineties, with bedroom morality once more dominating the political agenda, with cabinet careers back in the gift of the tabloids and the clergy having delusions of relevance. It is precisely the sort of scandal Jack Parlabane was born to investigate. Problem is, he’d have to get out of jail first, and several of his fellow inmates haven’t forgotten the investigative hack who put them in there in the first place …
Kenny Blyth is from Peebles in the Scottish Borders. He trained at Queen Maragaret’s college in Edinburgh, and upon graduating, won the BBC Radio Carleton Hobbs Bursary award 2000. he spent 9 months on the BBC Radio Drama company, being involved in over one hundred radio plays. He continues to enjoy working in radio, voice-overs and television.

About The Author
in his own words… The important stuff:
Christopher Brookmyre first hit the British bookshelves in the summer of 1996 with Quite Ugly One Morning, a scurrilous satire on the then Conservative government’s NHS reforms. The book won the inaugural Critics’ First Blood award for the best first crime novel of the year, but is destined to be remembered principally for featuring a huge jobbie on a mantelpiece in its opening chapter.
Its sequel, Country Of The Blind, (out in paperback this June) provided a second outing for morally ambiguous uber-hack Jack Parlabane, this time tenaciously probing who killed media-mogul Roland Voss (not least because Parlabane would have quite liked to do it himself).
Brookmyre’s third novel, the Los Angeles-set Not The End Of The World, will be published in hardback in July, taking on millennial hysteria, Christian fundamentalism, pornography, cheesy b-movies and bad hair. It has been described as “gloriously unsound” and is extremely unlikely to be among the Daily Mail’s books of the year.
The less important stuff:
Christopher Brookmyre was born in Glasgow in 1968, and has worked as a journalist in London, Los Angeles and Edinburgh, contributing to Screen International, The Scotsman, the Edinburgh Evening News and The Absolute Game. Contrary to the official version, Quite Ugly One Morning was in fact his fourth novel, but the first one to find a publisher. It followed two veritable duffers and a more promising third, which has subsequently been optioned for a film adaptation. He is married with no parasitic spawn.
The downright trivia (you have been warned):
Religion: St Mirren supporter since age eight. Attended Hammarby game. Underwent lengthy counseling. Also suffers from Hibby sympathies due to many years’ residence near Easter Road. Open to financial offers not to support your team as well. Detests the Old Firm with a passion, but feels sorry for their supporters, who presumably seek to associate themselves with the might of these spoiled giants to compensate for the desolate nothingness that is their lives.
Influence and inspiration (because someone always asks): Bill Hicks, Billy Connolly, Billy Franks, Robertson Davies, Jeff Torrington, Douglas Adams, Carl Hiaasen, Iain Banks, Terry Gilliam, Joel Silver, James Cameron, Warren Zevon, Manic Street Preachers, Indigo Girls, Teenage Fanclub, Mike Scott, Mutton Birds, The Skids …
Email: chrisb@cbrook.globalnet.co.uk

Christopher Brookmyre's first novel, Quite Ugly One Morning, won him the inaugural Fresh Blood Award for the best debut crime novel and held off Iain Banks as Scotland's number one bestseller in paperback. By the time his second, County of the Blind, was published, the media hailed Brookmyre as a star of the Scottish literati (with Warner and Welsh) and rewarded him with the dubious distinction of inventing tartan noir. His third novel Not the End of the World, is a story of fundamental religion and millennial hysteria with a heavy dose of Hollywood's porn industry thrown in.
Brookmyre is outselling Rankin in Scotland - His last novel The Sacred Art Of Stealing sold over 40000 copies. Not only that but, Brookmyre's infamous detective Parlabane, played by Douglas Henshaw, made his radio début in a play broadcast on BBC Radio 3 in January 04. Along with a cast of Scottish sports journalists (Richard Gordon, David Begg and Murdo McLeod) playing themselves and commenting on an armed robbery, Bampot Central featured Brookmyre himself as a policeman. There is also a TV series in development.
Chris lives in Aberdeen.

About The Author
Agatha Christie at workAgatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. She wrote 80 crime mysteries and collections, and saw her work translated into more languages than Shakespeare. Her enduring success, enhanced by many film and TV adaptations, is a tribute to the timeless appeal of her characters and the unequalled ingenuity of her plots.
Agatha Christie says: 'I was born in Devonshire, and had a very happy childhood with practically no lessons and lots of time to roam about the garden and imagine things. It was my mother who told me to write. She was a woman of great charm and great character, and was always convinced that her children could do anything! I was in bed with a bad cold and she said, "You'd better write a short story. Nonsense, don't say you can't! Of course you can!"
'For some years I enjoyed myself very much writing stories of unrelieved gloom where most of the characters died. Also a good deal of poetry and a novel with an impossible number of characters in it. Then I thought it would be fun to try and write a detective story. It was an exciting day when The Mysterious Affair at Styles was accepted and published. I was working as a dispenser at a Red Cross Hospital during the First World War when I wrote it.
 'As for my tastes, I enjoy my food, hate the taste of any kind of alcohol, have tried and tried to like smoking, but can't manage it. I adore flowers, am crazy about the sea, love the theatre, but am bored to death by the talkies (and am very stupid at following them), loathe wireless and all loud noises, dislike living in cities. I do a lot of travelling, mostly in the Near East, and have a great love of the desert.'
In 1950 Agatha Christie celebrated the publication of her fiftieth detective novel. Messages of congratulation came to her from many eminent people, including Mr C. R. Attlee, then Prime Minister, who wrote: "I admire and delight in the ingenuity of Agatha Christie's mind and in her capacity to keep a secret until she is ready to divulge it. And I admire, also, another of her qualities, one that is not always possessed by those who produce detective stories, her ability clearly and simply to write the English language."
Born in Torquay, she was encouraged to write by Eden Phillpotts, the famous Devonshire playwright; her first book was rejected by several publishers before it was published in 1920. The wife of a distinguished archaeologist (Professor Max Mallowan of Lodon University), she assisted him in his excavations in Iraq, where he made remarkable discoveries. They lived in a Georgian house overlooking the River Dart.

The Nemean Lion

The Arcadian Deer
The Erymanthian Boar
In appearance Hercule Poirot hardly resembled an ancient Greek hero. Yet - reasoned the detective - like Hercules he had been responsible for ridding society of some of its most unpleasant monsters.
So, in the period leading up to his retirement. Poirot made up his mind to accept just twelve more cases: his self-imposed ‘Labours’. Each would go down in the annals of crime as a heroic feat of deduction.
In this first collection of short stories, a Pekinese dog is ‘dognapped’ and held for ransom: gossipmongers accuse a doctor of poisoning his wife: a garage mechanic falls in love with a lady’s maid and an underworld gang leader is chased into the Alps.

Ever since Arlena’s arrival at the resort, Hercule Poirot had detected sexual tension in the seaside air. But could this apparent ‘crime of passion’ have been something more evil and premeditated altogether?

But at Amazon.co.uk Michael Crichton State of Fear Published January 2005 by HarperCollins Audio at £15.99 ISBN: 0-00-717449 7
Read by John Bedford Lloyd
In Paris, a physicist dies after performing a laboratory experiment for a beautiful visitor
In the jungles of Malaysia, a mysterious buyer purchases deadly cavitation technology built to his specifications.
In Vancouver, a small research submarine is leased for use in the waters off New Guinea
And in Tokyo, an intelligence agent tries to understand what it all means.
Thus begins Michael Crichton’s exciting and provocative techno-thriller State of Fear. Only Crichton’s unique ability to blend scientific fact with pulse-pounding fiction could bring such disparate elements to a heart-stopping conclusion.
This is Crichton’s most wide-ranging thriller. State of Fear takes the listener from the glaciers of Iceland to the volcanoes of Antarctica, from the Arizona desert to the deadly jungles of the Solomon Islands, from the streets of Paris to the beaches of Los Angeles. The novel races forward on a roller-coaster thrill ride, all the while keeping the brain in high gear. Gripping and thought-provoking, State of Fear is Michael Crichton at his very best.
