Brian Page spent most of his working life in the North Sea oil industry. Armed with a huge store of anecdotes and first hand experiences, when his family and friends told him he should get it down on paper, he did not hesitate but buried himself in the study of his cottage in the Scottish Highlands. The result is a highly entertaining, sympathetic and above all accurate account of what life was really like for a generation of 'North Sea Tigers' and 'Rough Tough Oilmen'. Myths are debunked, truths are told and there's many a laugh between these pages.

Memoirs

David Wishart's Roman sleuth Marcus Corvinus returns in this gripping mystery. When Marcus Corvinus is given a letter from Sertorius Macro, the Emperor Caligula's erstwhile adviser forced into suicide for plotting against him, claiming that he was innocent and asking Corvinus to clear his name, he isn't keen on the job at all: sticking your nose into the political dirty laundry basket is currently just too damned dangerous. However, when the inconsistencies begin to mount up, Corvinus is firmly hooked. It'll take him two near-death experiences, a lot of fancy footwork in avoiding the fatal attentions of Rome's great and not so good, and some serious riot-dodging in Alexandria before he works it all out, mind...

Genre Fiction

Christmas Eve 1981, Paris, France. Ex-British secret agent John Macfarlane has returned from a trip to Damascus with a consignment of blood diamonds he wants to sell. His contact is late and he is impatient. Outside the rain is slashing down in torrents; inside the little bar in Clichy where he waits, Don't You Want Me Baby? is playing on the jukebox. Macfarlane sees his contact's car, an armoured ZiL, come into view. At last. A deal is done; the diamonds are sold for cash and Hermann Goering's gold-plated Luger, along with his Blue Max. Pleased with how things have turned out, Macfarlane returns to the bar to freshen up and get ready to go home to see his wife and children. It is while he is in the washroom that the assassins hit. Two men, European. Macfarlane survives but he is wounded. He calls his wife, but she doesn't reply. A sick feeling in his gut tells Macfarlane that she too has been hit. Bleeding heavily from his wounded arm, there is only one person he can ask for help: his ex-mistress Irene. Over the next few weeks the action intensifies as Macfarlane pursues his attackers with the help of Irene and contacts in Paris' criminal underworld, leading to a tense and action packed finale.
