Ten slices from the life of Bobby Gold; by night, the security chief of a mobbed-up New York City nightclub, by day, a reluctant bonebreaker and enforcer for Eddie Fish - his old college roommate, and best friend.  Emerging from the "gladiator school" environment of an upstate prison with an imposing physique and a reputation for skilled brutality, Bobby's a lonely, guilt-ridden child inside a hulking body. He views the grim work of coercion, assault and even murder as jobs to be done with a craftsman's work ethic and with a minimum of force. However, the technician's pride in a job done well is failing him, his friend and protector Eddie is getting flakier and flakier and worst of all, he's falling in love with Nicole, a reckless and self-destructive female line-cook who"s been around the block a few times. Following on from his two superb novels, Bone in the Throat and Gone Bamboo, Anthony Bourdain has produced another stunning book of crime fiction.

Born of humble origins in Arkansas in 1946, Al Green was to emerge as the first great soul singer of the 1970s and arguably the last great Southern singer, issuing records that were to influence not only his contemporaries, but veterans like Marvin Gaye. This work looks at his life and, while there are undoubted moments of tragedy, Green demonstrates reasons for resistance, joy and, ultimately, celebration. With the assistance of music writer Davin Seay, the book relates the turbulent, fascinating and inspirational life of one of the real stars of 20th-century music.

Biographies & Memoirs

Never Somewhere Else is a highly visual and powerfully written tale of contemporary crime and retribution. Alex Gray's rich and stylish debut leads the reader through the streets, parks and art galleries of Glasgow on a compelling journey of discovery that never fails to keep the pages turning. Scratch the surface of the polished Glasgow art world and dark layers are revealed beneath - serial murders with a particularly horrific signature; an ambitious journalist's desire to keep one step ahead of police investigations and an artist's model who has a sinister agenda of his own. When a series of young women are discovered strangled and mutilated in a Glasgow park, it is up to DCI Lorimer to find their killer. Frustrated by a lack of progress in the investigation, Lorimer is forced to enlist the services of Dr Solomon Brightman, a young psychologist and criminal profiler. Together they form an uneasy alliance. But when a homeless man is brought in for questioning the investigation takes a bizarre turn.
