A complete guide to your rights - in court, at work, on demonstrations, on the road. The book takes into account the new police and criminal evidence act, the public order act and the drugs act, all of which have changed and so eroded individual rights.

Authentic Decor: The Domestic Interior 1620-1920

Architecture

Crescent

These eight tales range in scale from the novella-length to the minimalist, and in setting from Paris and Munich to London and several unidentified English cities. They explore diverse aspects of the relationship between men and women, both inside and outside marriage. They are by turns poignant, disturbing, chilling, ironical, humorous. - An academic and part-time writer resumes an affair that ended fifteen years before. - A schoolteacher leaves his wife but continues to live in the matrimonial home. - A victim of harassment by an ex-lover is attracted by the female detective sent to investigate the case. - A financial adviser is spied on at home and stalked on her way to work. - A divorced accountant wakes up with a hangover and can recall neither which day it is nor what he did the night before. - A hotel guest spends the night with the waitress who served him in the bar.

Night Ferry and Other Stories

The author's fourth collection of stories. It comprises the novella THE MANNHEIM EXIT - 'Inclined by nature to inertia and prevarication, lacking notable personal ambition-whether for advancement, affluence, or office-disliking change and accepting it only when imposed on him from without-an occasional, unavoidable evil-preferring in all things the familiar and the well-tried, [Richard Carteris asked] of life no more than that the future should be a prolongation of the past via an uneventful present . . .' A university lecturer involves himself in an affair that threatens to destroy utterly the settled pattern of his existence - and three shorter stories: THE SILENCE OF JOSEPH B - A lover of silence evolves a strategy for survival in a world of intolerable noise; TRANSITION - A young man is disturbed by a glamorous Doppelgänger; and THE SLIDING DOORS - A narrator's acrimonious dispute with his author radically transforms the fate of the characters.

The Mannheim Exit

The year is 2039. The United Kingdom has ceased to exist as a sovereign state; England is a patchwork of de-industrialized provinces supplying wind-energy, agricultural products, and military manpower to Greater Europe. Would-be writer Tom Cochrane, returning from Afghanistan after eight years' service in the Eurolegion, faces the usual difficulties of integration into civilian life, but his are compounded by the legal and social discrimination he has suffered since childhood as the son of a Eurosceptic Dissident. His attempts to adjust are charted through his relationships with three very different women.

Cochrane's Return

These two novellas follow the conscientious but less than enthusiastic academic Richard Carteris at two defining moments of his career, both professional and personal. In THE MANNHEIM EXIT, set in Germany, he involves himself in an affair that threatens to destroy utterly the settled pattern of his existence. Twelve years later, in ATONEMENT, now married and Head of his Department at an English university, he finds history repeating itself, and is forced to confront an unresolved past.
