Description: The Winner Stands Alone is the enthralling new novel by the incomparable Paulo Coelho. The story is set during the Cannes

International Film Festival and the entire action plays out over 24 hours. Igor is a wealthy Russian businessman. His wife Ewa left him two years ago

and Igor has never really come to terms with their break up, especially as Ewa is now remarried to a famous fashion designer, Hamid Hussein. Igor is

insanely jealous and when Ewa left him he told her that he would destroy 'whole worlds' in order to get her back, and he intends to keep his promise!

Igor has followed Ewa and her new husband to Cannes and his plan is to cause as much violence and destruction as possible until Ewa realises how

much he loves her and comes back to him. Ewa loved Igor but she was absolutely terrified of him. She knows that Igor has killed people in the past

when he was a soldier, but she also knows a dark secret - that he once cold bloodedly murdered a beggar who was bothering them in a restaurant.

Igor is clearly unhinged and he will stop at nothing to regain her love and so he goes on a ruthless killing spree until he tracks down Ewa...The star-

studded film festival acts as a backdrop to Igor's maniacal murdering spree and we are ntroduced to various characters along the way, all of whom are

desperately trying to get their big break in the shallow world of show business; Gabriela a young and naive actress who is being exploited by her agent

and Jasmine a troubled young Rwandan refugee working as a model.

The Winner Stands Alone is a gripping, fast-paced thriller, and Coelho cleverly weaves in elements of social satire, poking fun at our celebrity and

money obsessed culture. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: In his number 1 hardback bestseller, Vince Cable, 'the stage of the credit crunch' ("Daily Telegraph") explains how we got in to this mess

and what it means. In "The Storm", Vincent Cable explains the causes of the world economic crisis and how we should respond to the challenges it

brings. He shows that although the downturn is global, the complacency of the British government towards the huge 'bubble' in property prices and high

levels of personal debt, combined with increasingly exotic and opaque trading within the financial markets, has left Britain badly exposed. Yet we need

to be vigilant in our response to the dangers confronting us. Times of crises inevitably bring forth false prophets who offer easy panaceas and identify

scapegoats. However, Cable shows that an insular response to the current crisis would be a disaster and urges us to resist the siren voices that

promote isolationism and nationalism as the answer to economic woes. He argues that policy makers must keep their faith in liberal markets if the

remarkable advances in living standards, which are now being extended to the world's poorer countries, are to be maintained. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: Some secrets are too terrible to reveal ...Some crimes are too unspeakable to solve ...Painter's Creek, Ohio may be a sleepy, rural town

with both Amish and 'English' residents, but it's also the place where a series of brutal murders shattered the lives of an entire community over a

decade ago. When the killing stopped, it left in its aftermath a sense of fragility, and for the young Amish girl, Katie Burkholder, a realization that she

didn't belong. Now, 15 years, two dead parents and a wealth of experience later, Katie has been asked to return as Chief of Police. Her Amish

background combined with her big-city law enforcement expertise make her the perfect candidate. Katie is certain she has come to terms with the past.

Until the first body of a slaughtered young woman is found in a pristine, snowy field... _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: Liam Creed seemed like a lost cause. He was excluded from school more times than he can remember, his outbursts got him into

trouble, he faced a constant struggle with medication, and his family were driven to despair. All because he was born with an inability to sit still and

concentrate: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Liam thought his life was destined for failure. Until, one life-changing day, he met a mischievous

bundle of energy called Aero. Aero and Liam developed a special bond. As Liam struggled to train the mischievous dog, for once he didn't feel useless

and afflicted. Against the odds, Liam made an inspirational breakthrough in his own condition and learned to believe in the future. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: Struggling with depression, anxiety, illness, an eating disorder, a difficult relationship, fear, self-hatred, addiction or anger? Renowned

Buddhist leader Tsultrim Allione explains that the harder we fight our demons, the stronger they become. Offering Eastern answers to Western needs,

Tsultrim seamlessly weaves traditions from Tibet and the Western world to offer a new and unique answer to the problems that plague us: that rather

than attempt to purge them, we need to reverse our approach and nurture our demons. This powerful five-step practice forms a strategy for

transforming negative emotions, relationships, fears, illness and self-defeating patterns. This will help you cope with the inner enemies that undermine

our best intentions. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
