Sitting in a Lloyd Loom chair on a Narrow Boat, moored on the Kennet and Avon Canal, a dead man stares into oblivion. Who is he and what is his name? Chief Inspector Michael Lambert from Thames Valley Police Authority unravels a murder case which stretches from Reading to Bulgaria, South Africa to Belorussia, and finally Taiwan to Peru. What at first appears to be a straightforward murder is revealed to be part of an international manhunt, the result of a major arms deal which has gone horribly wrong. The story begins with the discovery of a small mobile phone on the narrow boat and ends with the murder of a Chinese shipping magnate in the streets of London. Will anyone’s life be the same again and how will our provincial policeman cope with these different layers of intrigue?

Annette von Droste-Hülshoff has never been accorded the recognition given to other 19th century German poets, though interest in the literary world is now increasing, not least because of her enigmatic reputation as a woman who appears a mass of contradictions; sociable and open, yet almost crippled by introspection. An examination of the considerable work she completed during her short life reveals a fascinating mind and an exceptional talent, yet one which defies attempts to define or categorise. Marion Tymms, whose examination of Droste-Hülshoff’s spiritual life and related work was published in 2012 (God’s Sorely-Tested Child), now discusses her poetic achievements in general and the influences behind them, from her teenage years to maturity, focusing particularly on certain key relationships which affected the course of this troubled woman’s life. For the first time Droste-Hülshoff’s lyric poetry is presented and introduced, in the context of the key events in her life, for the non-German-speaking reader.

History & Criticism

Microbiology and jazz music aren’t a common duet but for Professor John Postgate they are the two subjects that define his lifetime. John Postgate, brother of Oliver Postgate who created the beloved Children’s shows Bagpuss and Clangers, describes his autobiography as “a book about doing science” and describes in entertaining detail the account of his life in the UK and abroad as he rose to international prominence in the field of microbiology. John has notably contributed to the understanding of key microbiology processes including the sulphur cycle and nitrogen fixation and become well-recognised in the world of microbiology. But John has also become prominent in another field, jazz music, having played cornet over the years with many musicians, some of whom who became prominent names in jazz. John also wrote articles and reviews on the subject, many of which were published in popular magazines such as Gramophone and Jazz Journal. John Postgate’s life is defined by his two great loves: science and music. In Microbes, Music and Me – A Life in Science, John looks back on a life filled with a fascination for microbiology and jazz in this entertaining autobiography.
