Jim Wekle's first day as a trooper on an island in Alaska could have gone better. It was raining, the coffee was bad, and within hours of stepping off the seaplane, he found a bikini-clad girl floating in a kelp bed. As Jim investigates who might have put the bullet in her back, he stumbles across a uniquely diverse and extraordinarily hilarious batch of island inhabitants. Puffing on his imported cigars, Jim soon learns that no one on the island is more unique, diverse, or hilarious than his unlikely counterpart: a man simply known as Kram.

Cambridge spy Guy Burgess was a supreme networker. He also set a gold standard for conflicts of interest, working variously for the BBC, MI5, MI6, the War Office, the Ministry of Information and the KGB. Yet Burgess was never challenged by Britain's spy catchers: his superiors were convinced he was too much of a liability to have been recruited by Moscow. Now, with a major new release of hundreds of files into the National Archives, Purvis and Hulbert reveal just how this charming establishment insider was able to fool everyone for so long.

A Little Nettlebed si raccontano molte storie sulle sorelle Mansfield: che sono arroganti, bugiarde, indisciplinate. Ciascun abitante del piccolo villaggio ha da dire la propria sul loro conto, ma su una cosa tutti concordano: le ragazze sono strane, e, quindi, pericolose. Con l'arrivo di una delle estati più torride di sempre, poi, comincia a verificarsi una serie di eventi singolari: un enorme pesce argentato - o forse un mostro di fiume - si arena sulla riva del Tamigi, gli animali si fanno frenetici, gruppi di corvi si radunano sui tetti delle case.
