Some Lie and Some Die

In spite of dire predictions, the rock festival in Kingsmarkham seemed to be going off without a hitch, until the hideously disfigured body is discovered in a nearby quarry. And soon Wexford is investigating the links between a local girl gone bad and a charismatic singer who inspires an unwholesome devotion in his followers. Some Lie and Some Die is a devilishly absorbing novel, in which Wexford's deductive powers come up against the aloof arrogance of pop stardom.

With her Inspector Wexford novels, Ruth Rendell, winner of the Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Award, has added layers of depth, realism and unease to the classic English mystery. For the canny, tireless, and unflappable policeman is an unblinking observer of human nature, whose study has taught him that under certain circumstances the most unlikely people are capable of the most appalling crimes.

A Prison Diary

Jeffrey Archer was sentenced to four years' imprisonment at 12.07pm on Thursday 19th July 2001. Within six hours, Prisoner FF8282, as he is now known, was on suicide watch in the medical wing of Belmarsh top security prison in south London. This, he discovered, is standard procedure for first-time offenders on their first night in jail. By 6.00am the next morning, Archer had resolved to write a daily diary of everything he experienced while incarcerated, because "I have a feeling that being allowed to write in this hellhole may turn out to be the one salvation that will keep me sane". Jeffrey Archer's diary of his first three weeks imprisonment is a raw account of life in a top-security jail in Britain. It is also an indictment of the British penal system. The tales of his fellow inmates - many of whom are in for life - are often moving stories of hopelessness. But there are those, too, who, no matter what their previous histories, attempt to live their prison lives with dignity and integrity. Returning favours, Archer comments, is far more commonplace in prison than outside. The diary should be of interest to anyone concerned with the improvement of our penal system, whether they are concerned citizens, politicians or workers in the prison service.

The Swinging Bridge

An exquisite novel that explores the immigrant experience with compassion and humour. Mona remembers all too clearly the night of the big row in the house on Manahambre Road, back in her native island of Trinidad, when Da-Da, in a drunken rage, seemed ready to kill her nine-year-old brother, Kello. Grown up now, and living in Montreal, Mona wryly perceives herself as the calm at the centre of her family's storm. She yearns to make sense of her tortured family and the feeling of displacement that haunts her. And as she visits her dying brother, and reacquaints herself with her irrepressible cousin Bess, Mona realizes that if she is to have a future, she must reconcile the past with the present. A moving story about a young girl's journey into the secrets of a winding family history, The Swinging Bridge carries us through nineteenth-century India, with its cast-out Brahmin widows, to the cane fields of Trinidad, where impoverished Indians become indentured labourers, to the optimism of the twentieth century, when the island sheds its colonial past and reimagines itself as a new homeland for many cultures. Finally, we arrive in North America, a new continent with old problems, where Mona's family decides to settle. Steeped in the rhythms and lyrical lilt of Caribbean life, this many-layered tale marks the fiction debut of Ramabai Espinet, a poet and writer with immense talent and an original new voice.

'Eden - it's where your life began, Madeleine. It's a place where the current of life runs stronger than anywhere else. In Eden the sun shines more fiercely, the rain strikes harder, and the trees are so green that it hurts your eyes. Eden is beauty and ugliness and joy and madness and decay.
