With humour, eloquence, empathy and delightful Gaelic charm, Diana, as a child, travels from Johannesburg to Ireland to a stately home with world-famous gardens. While the talk above stairs was of horses, rare plants and fishing; below stairs it was of banshees, the little people, ráths and the foxy-haired ghost. As an adult she returned to Africa, where she doubled for Grace Kelly in Mogambo; unwittingly employed a Mau Mau leader; met the king of cheetah racing; challenged the authorities at the height of apartheid - and emerged victorious. 'Diana Duff's memoir is feisty, humorous and poignant. It's an evocation of a lifestyle that the world will never accommodate again - particularly in Africa. More's the pity, because somehow we don't seem to breed such iconoclastic, fey and nonconformist characters any more. Diana has a remarkable memory for detail, and she writes with a kind of wry wit that is most engaging. I thoroughly enjoyed 'Leaves from the Fig Tree' and look forward to Diana's next book.' - Patricia Glyn, broadcaster, journalist, committed African and author of Footing with Sir Richard's Ghost and Off Peak. 'The Kikiyu people ... were to me fascinating ... the descriptive way in which they spoke of things, illustrating with hand and tongue a thing that had happened, so that it came alive. One spoke to me once of years passing and conjured up a picture of a great fig tree, the leaves falling, each leaf another year of his life.'

Duff, Diana

Historical

Rui Perreira is a young adventurer, born in Lisbon in the beginning years of the modern age. When he hears of the legend of the lost civilisation of Afar in Africa, and discovers a map to the ancient city, he sets out to the mbanza of the Manikongo Nzinga a Mbemba in the Kongo, in search of the place. He finds the Kongo in the wash of a war of it's own, and he flees the Mbanza, following the map, which takes him deep into the territory of an enemy that is far more dangerous than he imagined, and foreign to anything he has ever encountered. His journey takes him through the dark jungles of the Kongo basin, and into the dry lands of the Sahel. What he finds there, is different to anything he could have anticipated, and more deeply meaningful than anything life, as he had known it, could offer.

The Gates of Hell

Caroline Addenbrooke

Hawk is hunting again. SSA Conway is his nemesis - she wants justice and is determined he should keep his appointment with the electric chair. He has taken too many children and killed too many people. And it's all about the music. FBI Agent, SSA Ellie Conway, has decided it is time to step up and apprehend Hawk, not only to stop the abduction of vulnerable children, but to avenge the murder of FBI Agent Mac Connelly. Her pursuit involves Russia and takes the team to New Zealand, where Hawk has widened his net and increased his activity. As the Delta A track him and investigate the disappearance of more children, a far more sinister reality emerges, which demands the might of the Military, CIA, NCIS and the Russian FSB. Exploiting her quirky intuition, together with help from surprising sources, Ellie comes to understand why 'it's all about the music.'

Homemade Sin

Covington, V. Mark

Five years after the events of Partholon, a juggernaut Red Army bears down on what's left of the poorly led, underequipped, and betrayed US 1st Combined Arms Division, nicknamed the Ghosts. Victory is assured; America will fall. But Sergeant Collier Rashkil and his lover, the beautiful and ruthless Major Rosa Arce, are Ghosts. And Ghosts don't die. Trapped in the swamplands of south Jersey, the Ghosts maintain a thin line of defense, their survival dependent on the intelligence Rosa and Collier provide. But a reconnaissance mission goes very, very wrong, and Rosa discovers there is a traitor in their midst, one willing to sacrifice all their lives for a flawed Utopian vision. Based on an Irish legend, Tu'an is a hair-raising story of brutal combat, of betrayal, survival, and a love that no enemy, no war, not even death, can end.
