  This is a novel that portrays a love affair between two men in the late 1950s. In turn, they each tell their story in their own voices. 
  The men are British. One of them is a young wardrobe assistant. The other is a stuntman who had served in action during World War Two. The pair meet on the set of a film being shot on location in Italy. 
  The younger man – 19 when the book begins – is from a working-class background in the north of England. He is newly inducted into London’s furtive gay scene at a time when sex between men is illegal and there's an ever-present risk of arrest or assault. 
  The other man is 32, troubled by his sexuality and ill at ease with his stunt colleagues on the film. Deeply shaken by an accident that kills another stunt performer, the stuntman first encounters the younger man casually. 
  Then, by chance, the two meet later at The War Cemetery at Salerno. Stranded on their return to the location base, they spend a night together in Amalfi, and - on this occasion - a tender relationship develops. But they must keep their affair a secret, and just as the stuntman begins to experience an emotional awakening, he is talked into performing a perilous stunt. 
  David Goudge is a former member of the BBC Radio Drama Company. He narrates his own novel.

  In this explosive final installment of the Empress Irini Series, the ruthless and cunning Irini of Athens stops at nothing to claim ultimate power in the treacherous world of 8th-century Byzantium. 
  After regaining the throne, Irini ensnares Constantine in a web of deceit, convincing him to divorce Maria and banishing his wife and daughters to Abbess Thekla’s island convent—where Maria slowly descends into madness. But Irini’s thirst for dominance knows no bounds. 
  Manipulating Constantine into turning against the soldiers who once betrayed her, she ignites a brutal civil war, plunging the empire into chaos—army against army, mother against son. As the battle rages, Irini orchestrates a final, ruthless strike, capturing Constantine and leaving him blinded and powerless. 
  Even as she seizes the throne for herself, one question remains: will Abbess Thekla, her former ally, stand by her side—or become the force that finally brings her down?

  A chuckwagon cook who's also deadly with a pair of six-shooters, Dewey "Mac" Mackenzie is a man who has no qualms filling men's bellies with food—or lead. Finally cleared of a crime he didn't commit, he's able to enjoy the fruits of his labor on the trail without looking over his shoulder. But even his best served grub can be spoiled by those with evil appetites . . . 
   
   
   
  After traversing California and finding nothing much to his liking, Mac Mackenzie is heeding his heart's call to return to Texas. Lucky for him, a group of cowboys heading for the Lone Star state need someone who knows their way around a chuckwagon. Their previous cook's temper boiled over during a saloon brawl and ended up in jail. With no love for the cook—or his food—the cowboys just want to head home peaceably, share some quality meals with good company, and give their boss the small fortune they're carrying from the herd they sold. 
   
   
    
  Otis Bradley knows he's no gourmet, but that's no excuse for his fellow cattlemen to leave him rotting behind bars. He still earned his share of the payroll for this time on the trail—and after befriending outlaw Stack Ketchum, Otis has a gang of gunfighters ready to dish out some revenge in exchange for the loot. But they haven't reckoned with the likes of Mac, a man who will settle their hash—raw and bloody . . .

Born into a German-Jewish household in the mid-1930s, Caleb witnesses firsthand the rise of Nazism and the Holocaust.
