Book Description
In the dying months of the Third Reich a fanatical alliance of SS officers and industrialists plans one final incredible mission to win the war. They mastermind an ingenious plot to destroy London and force Britain to its knees. But there is a spy among them. And while the clock ticks down, a deadly race for survival takes place which could decide the fate of thousands of lives. The action in this fast-paced novel switches from occupied Jersey to the lives of SOE and Resistance fighters in Belgium. Intriguingly, it opens in London in 2005, as a terror attack on the city makes sickening headlines around the world. The author has published a number of non-fiction books and has interviewed members of the French and Belgian anti-Nazi resistance, as well as the SOE. This first-hand research and a fast-paced plot comes together in 'Farewell Leicester Square' to create a riveting thriller in the tradition of Jack Higgins and Alistair MacLean. "I could not put it down. The characters simply leapt from the page and the suspense and tension gripped me." Gillian Mawson, author Guernsey Evacuees "Hard to resist! A wartime thriller centering on the courage and resilience of Islanders during the Occupation." Jersey Evening Post

Book Description
During World War II, Honor Carmichael and her two young children are uprooted to Linfield, to join Honor's husband Colin, a dapper, small-town doctor stationed at the military hospital. She is visited by her sister Claudia, whose fiance, Andrew, waits to be invalided out of the Army. Whilst Andrew dismisses himself as 'damaged goods', Colin becomes absorbed by the petty feuds and power games of uniformed life - most particularly with the arrival of Captain Herriot, a commando, and the C.O.'s current favourite. Apparently peripheral to this 'male pirouetting' Honor and Claudia are nevertheless deeply affected by this war - for its threat to notions of masculinity forces both women to reassess the roles they're always played. First published in 1945, this exploration of the crushing psychological effects of war was described by Stevie Smith as a sensitively and beautifully told story ... perfectly drawn. This edition carries a new foreword by Sir Jonathan Miller C.B.E., the author's son

Book Description
After an unparalleled string of artistic and commercial triumphs in the 1950s and 1960s, Alfred Hitchcock hit a career lull with the disappointing Torn Curtain and the disastrous Topaz. In 1971, the depressed director traveled to London, the city he had left in 1939 to make his reputation in Hollywood. The film he came to shoot there would mark a return to the style for which he had become known and would restore him to international acclaim. Like The 39 Steps, Saboteur, and North by Northwest before, Frenzy repeated the classic Hitchcock trope of a man on the run from the police while chasing down the real criminal. But unlike those previous works, Frenzy also featured some elements that were new to the master of suspense’s films, including explicit nudity, depraved behavior, and a brutal act that would challenge Psycho’s shower scene for the most disturbing depiction of violence in a Hitchcock film. In Alfred Hitchcock’s Frenzy: The Last Masterpiece, Raymond Foery recounts the history—writing, preprod

Book Description
The great interest of Jocelyn Playfair's book for modern readers is its complete authenticity. Set sixty years ago at the time of the fall of Tobruk in 1942, one of the low points of the war, and written only a year later when we still had no idea which way the war was going.
