  The Holy Grail, the head of Christ, the elixir of life, vast treasure and powerful political conspiracies. All of these and more are part of the tale of that enigmatic warrior brotherhood we know as the Knights Templar. It is said they discovered a great secret buried deep beneath the Temple of Solomon and gathered together in-order to protect it from generation to generation. Over time they were feared by all their enemies, not least of which was eventually the Catholic Church itself. A powerful and mighty brotherhood with real hidden secrets that spanned across the known world and even beyond into the new world of the Americas. And all of this from the humble origins of a handful of supposedly poor warrior monks. 
   
  The truth is that the Templars had found great treasure. It gave them immense wealth, property and power. Their strength was so great that monarchs of Europe feared them and some plotted their demise. 
   
  But their treasure was more than material wealth; it was also philosophically, mystically and spiritually profound. So profound that it was in fact the ultimate secret that has been hidden and protected by secret societies ever since. Prepare to discover the truth.

  **Jack the Ripper: The Whitechapel Mystery** 
  *By David G. Stone* 
  In the fog-shrouded streets of Victorian London, a killer stalked the night. Between August and November 1888, the impoverished district of Whitechapel became the hunting ground for history's most infamous serial killer—Jack the Ripper. 
  David G. Stone meticulously reconstructs one of criminology's greatest unsolved mysteries, taking listeners deep into the gaslit alleyways where terror reigned supreme. Through careful examination of police reports, witness testimonies, and contemporary newspaper accounts, Stone brings to life the grimy, desperate world of London's East End—a place where the vulnerable became victims and a shadowy figure earned immortal infamy. 
  Who was Jack the Ripper? Was he a deranged surgeon with anatomical knowledge? A member of the royal family? A local butcher? Or someone else entirely? Stone explores the most compelling theories while painting a vivid portrait of Victorian society's dark underbelly—the poverty, desperation, and social inequalities that created the perfect storm for these horrific crimes. 
  More than just a recounting of murders, this is a fascinating exploration of Victorian police work, early forensic science, and the birth of modern criminal investigation. Stone examines how the Ripper case changed law enforcement forever and why, more than a century later, we remain captivated by these unsolved murders. 
  Prepare to walk the shadowy streets of Whitechapel, where every doorway held secrets and every footstep echoed with dread. The mystery of Jack the Ripper has never been more compelling—or more chilling. 
  *A gripping true crime investigation that will keep you listening late into the night.*

  One of the most enigmatic figures of antiquity, Tiberius lacked the imperial splendour of his great predecessor Augustus and the excesses of many of his successors, and has been overlooked by history. Yet this compelling study offers a portrait of a complex and contradictory man, both emperor and exile, tyrant and recluse. 
  Drawing on a wealth of ancient sources as well as contemporary classical scholarship, Iskander Rehman engages in a nuanced and multidisciplinary examination of Tiberius’ philosophical, intellectual and military influences, and the effectiveness of his foreign policy. Analysing key conflicts, Rehman evaluates the reach and efficacy of Rome’s grand strategy, applying the lessons of the past to contemporary security challenges and modern global defence policy. 
  The book has a preface written by Sir Peter Stothard, British author, journalist and critic.

  Drawing on unpublished letters and rare sources, this is the true story behind the tragic romance and brutal assassination that ignited World War I.In the summer of 1914, three great empires dominated Europe: Germany, Russia, and Austria-Hungary. Four years later all had vanished in the chaos of World War I. One event precipitated the conflict, and at its heart was a tragic love story. When Austrian heir Archduke Franz Ferdinand married for love against the wishes of the emperor, he and his wife Sophie were humiliated and shunned, yet they remained devoted to each other and to their children. The two bullets fired in Sarajevo not only ended their love story, but also led to war and a century of conflict.Set against a backdrop of glittering privilege, Greg King and Sue Woolmans's The Assassination of the Archduke combines royal history, touching romance, and political murder in a moving portrait of the end of an era. One hundred years after the event, it offers the startling truth behind the Sarajevo assassinations, including Serbian complicity and examines rumors of conspiracy and official negligence. Events in Sarajevo also doomed the couple's children to lives of loss, exile, and the horrors of Nazi concentration camps, their plight echoing the horrors unleashed by their parents' deaths.Challenging a century of myth, The Assassination of the Archduke resonates as a very human story of love destroyed by murder, revolution, and war.With a foreword by Princess Sophie von Hohenberg, great-granddaughter of Archduke Franz Ferdinand
