"More modern thrills were provided by Robert Harriss The Fear Index, a financial what-if melding artificial intelligence with hedge funds." (Justine Jordan Review, Saturday Guardian)

Publisher's Summary:

Set in a 400-year-old boys' boarding school in London, a chilling gothic thriller by the author of the critically acclaimed A Good and Happy Child....

A fierce and jealous ghost....

A young man's fight for his life....

The Harrow School is home to privileged adolescents known as much for their distinctive dress and traditions as for their arrogance and schoolboy cruelty. Seventeen-year-old American Andrew Taylor is enrolled in the esteemed British institution by his father, who hopes that the school's discipline will put some distance between his son and his troubled past in the States.

But trouble - and danger - seem to follow Andrew. When one of his schoolmates and friends dies mysteriously of a severe pulmonary illness, Andrew is blamed and is soon an outcast, spurned by nearly all his peers. And there is the pale, strange boy who begins to visit him at night. Either Andrew is losing his mind, or the house legend about his dormitory being haunted is true.

When the school's poet-in-residence, Piers Fawkes, is commissioned to write a play about Byron, one of Harrow's most famous alumni, he casts Andrew in the title role. Andrew begins to discover uncanny links between himself and the renowned poet. In his loneliness and isolation, Andrew becomes obsessed with Lord Byron's story and the poet's status not only as a literary genius and infamous seducer but as a student at the very different Harrow of two centuries prior - a place rife with violence, squalor, incurable diseases, and tormented love affairs.

When frightening and tragic events from that long-ago past start to recur in Harrow's present, and when the dark and deadly specter by whom Andrew's been haunted seems to be all too real, Andrew is forced to solve a 200-year-old literary mystery that threatens the lives of his friends and his teachers - and, most terrifyingly, his own.

De sa lecture, il nous dit : "Le personnage d'Edgar Freemantle a été, durant la lecture, un autre moi-même: il est très attachant, ses témoignages émouvants. C'est un Stephen King très intimiste, parfois déconcertant mais toujours vraisemblable".

Publisher's Summary:

Dr Temperance Brennan spends her life working amongst the decomposed, the mutilated and the skeletal. So the two-days-dead body she is called to examine holds little to surprise her. Until she discovers that the man is John Lowery, an ex-soldier who was apparently killed in Vietnam in 1968. So who is buried in Lowery's grave.

The case takes Tempe to the heart of the American military, where she must examine the remains of anyone who may have had a connection to the drowned man. It's a harrowing task, but it pays off when she finds Lowery's dog tags amongst the bones of a long-dead soldier.

As Tempe unravels the tangled threads of the soldiers' lives and deaths, she realises there are some who would rather the past stayed dead and buried. And when she proves difficult to frighten, they turn their attention to the one person she would give her life to protect.

Title: Bound

Subtitle: A Novel

Author: Antonya Nelson

Narrator: Cassandra Campbell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 32 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-28-10

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 13 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

Antonya Nelson is known for her razor-sharp depictions of contemporary family life in all of its sometimes sad, sometimes hilarious complexity. Her latest novel has roots in her own youth in Wichita, in the neighborhood stalked by the serial killer known as BTK (Bind, Torture, and Kill). A story of wayward love and lost memory, of public and private lives twisting out of control, Bound is Nelson's most accomplished and emotionally riveting work.

Catherine and Oliver, young wife and older entrepreneurial husband, are negotiating their difference in age and a plethora of well-concealed secrets. Oliver, now in his 60s, is a serial adulterer and has just fallen giddily in love yet again. Catherine, seemingly placid and content, has ghosts of a past she scarcely remembers. When Catherine's long-forgotten high school friend dies and leaves Catherine the guardian of her teenage daughter, that past comes rushing back. As Oliver manages his new love, and Catherine her new charge and darker past, local news reports turn up the volume on a serial killer who has reappeared after years of quiet. In a time of haunting and new revelations, Nelson's characters grapple with their public and private obligations, continually choosing between the suppression or indulgence of wild desires. Which way they turn, and what balance they find, may only be determined by those who love them most.

Editorial Reviews:

Loneliness is two candlesticks on a dead womans dining room table in Bound, writer Antonya Nelsons divinely perceptive fourth songbird of a novel. Cassandra Campbell narrates, bringing depth and order to moving plots and dark, funny, bruised characters. Her intuitively timed cadences spoon Bounds tart poetry in lines such as, Her black linen outfitinvisible like a mimesfrom the back like a Ninja.

Habitual pleaser Catherine Desplaines anchors Bound and Campbell haunts her forced mildness with cobwebs of fragile jokiness that submerge Catherines awareness of disgracing her glacial, feminist mother (muted by a stroke, confined to a nursing home) by marrying young and becoming the dutiful third wife to snappish, elegant Oliver.

Nearing 70, Oliver is secretly in love with the glossy-haired Sweetheart who manages his bakery. Hes a clipped, cultivated, precise speaker, though Campbell is careful not to overplay his age or station with too much booming. The wealthy Desplaines live in Wichita, Kansas, where Bound is largely set, framed precise as tweezers against the historically accurate 2004 resurfacing of BTK (Bind, Torture, Kill) Wichitas notorious serial killer.

BTKs comeback terror spree coincides with Catherines discovery that Misty Mueller, her underprivileged, reckless best friend from high school a bond disconnected long before Misty became a mother was recently killed in a car accident. Her will appoints Catherine, a virtual stranger, legal guardian to Catherine Cattie Mueller, the 15-year-old daughter named after her old friend.

Bound questions how and why ordinary people tether themselves to daily tedium; stale marriages; parasitic grown children; insomnia; even pointless memories. For Catherine, a self-described unprepared adult, the reward comes with her decision to perform her moral obligation and seek out Cattie. She finds an acidic loner nursing grief and gravel in her voice, a girl who nourishes Catherines grown-up hollowness by allowing Catherine to comfort her.

Title: Paul Temple and Steve

Author: Francis Durbridge

Narrator: Crawford Logan, Gerda Stevenson

Format: Original Recording

Length: 3 hrs and 39 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-03-10

Publisher: BBC Worldwide Limited

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 56 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

A brand new, fully dramatised remake of the lost archive drama Paul Temple and Steve, starring Crawford Logan and Gerda Stevenson

From 1938 to 1968, crime novelist and detective Paul Temple and his Fleet Street journalist wife Steve solved case after case in one of BBC Radios most popular serials. Now the dapper duo return refreshed and reinvigorated to the airwaves, to investigate the activities of a shadowy and ruthless criminal mastermind in post-war London.

Enlisted by Sir Graham Forbes of Scotland Yard to help track down the mysterious Dr Belasco, Paul and Steve find clues in cigarette lighters and bodies in shrubberies, dance the night away in louche Latin American night clubs, meet sinister manservants and suspicious foreigners, and have their lives threatened at every turn. Just as well Steve remembered to bring along her revolver as well as her ration book.

This new production for BBC Radio 4 uses the original scripts, vintage sound effects and much of the incidental music from the missing 1947 production. As far as possible, it is a technical and stylistic replica of how that production might have sounded had its recording survived.
