We can all name the classic rock and pop albums of the last 50 years. But what about the great lost albums? The albums that fell behind the back of the musical sofa? The albums that, in a very real sense, have been completely made up by the authors of this book? It took a bestselling crime writer, or three, to hunt down these 50 lost classics, and an award-winning TV comedy scriptwriter to buy them a pint and make them write it. From the 1960s to the 2000s, with track listings and full histories, Great Lost Albums reveals the recordings that, just perhaps, never existed, but really should have. Albums include: Bob Dylan's legendary collaboration with Liberace; Joy Division's "musical theater" period; Coldplay's IKEA Sessions, including "Conscious Uncoupling (See Leaflet for Details)" and "In my Place (There's a Lovely HEMNES Shelving System)"; The Who's magisterial, abandoned rock opera "Bingo Wizard"; Kraftwerk's hastily deleted Christmas album, featuring the melancholic classic "I Wish to Return this Item"; and many, many more.

Book One in the Carrigan and Miller series. “[A] masterly thriller . . . with [a] complicated and compelling detective duo” (The New Yorker). Jack Carrigan, a promising young musician, is on a post-graduation holiday in Africa with two friends. Driving at night, unsure of their route, they encounter a rebel force high on drugs and their own cruelty. Years later, Jack is now an inspector with the Metropolitan police. The two survivors of the deadly confrontation meet regularly but are unable to talk about the tragedy until Jack unites with young, spirited detective Geneva Miller and the pair begins to investigate the murder of an African scholar studying in London. The case pulls Carrigan and Miller into a London diaspora, a largely inscrutable cauldron of illegal immigrants and fugitives. They soon discover that the scholar was researching African rebel groups and had uncovered the complicity of an African government in a brutal campaign to silence dissent. Carrigan and Miller find themselves caught in a fierce conflict between the obligation to follow evidence wherever it leads and foreign alliances critical to the British government. This combination of a bruising crime investigation competing against the forces of powerful political interests unleashes events that will forever change the lives of both the innocent and the guilty. “The action builds to a jaw-dropping resolution. Readers will want to see more of this convincingly flawed hero.”―Publishers Weekly (starred review) “A clever, multi-layered beginning to a promising new series . . . Sherez does a masterful job with a particularity haunting plot.”―The Daily Mirror (Book of the Week) “A superior novel.”―The Times (London)

Second in the acclaimed Carrigan and Miller series from the author of A Dark Redemption. “[A] superbly written, intelligent and captivating crime novel” (Crime Review). It is eleven days before Christmas, and an early morning fire rages through a West London square, engulfing a convent tucked within a handsome residential neighborhood. Detectives Jack Carrigan and Geneva Miller arrive at the dreadful scene to find eleven dead bodies―but there were only ten nuns in residence. Despite the department’s top brass pressing for the case to be solved before the holidays, the detectives suspect more than mere arson. Why did the nuns make no move to escape the fire? Who is the eleventh victim? And where is the convent’s influential priest liaison to the church, the one man who can answer their questions? Shortlisted for the coveted Old Peculier Novel of the Year award, Eleven Days, the new entry in Sherez’s acclaimed series which began with A Dark Redemption, follows Carrigan and Miller as they unravel an elaborate mystery that spans four decades and two continents. On their second case together, the partners, at once fresh and familiar, confront both their haunting pasts and the dangers that threaten to cut short their futures. As pressure intensifies to close the case, they struggle to solve a hidden history whose exposure threatens both the church and the political establishment. “Sherez scores high marks for his writing and characterization. Carrigan and Miller are shaping up to be an attractive duo.”―The Times “Engrossing . . . A surprising plot and well-developed characters led by Carrigan and Miller make for a highly satisfying mystery.”―Publishers Weekly
