  Buried beneath the sands of Ancient Egypt lies a secret history far darker than the pyramids, pharaohs, and golden treasures we think we know… 
  For centuries, whispers of a forbidden ritual have haunted archaeologists and historians, a chilling practice woven into the rise and fall of Egypt’s most powerful rulers. In The Pharaoh’s Kill List: Inside the Ancient Egyptian Tradition of Human Sacrifice, bestselling researcher Davis Truman pulls back the curtain on a world where divine kingship demanded blood, loyalty was enforced through death, and every royal tomb carried secrets meant to stay hidden forever. 
  What Truman uncovers is not the Egypt of school textbooks. This is the Egypt of ritual executions, buried servants, silenced enemies, and elite corpses chosen to accompany the pharaoh into the afterlife. Through newly analyzed evidence, forgotten stelae, and translations of long-overlooked texts, this book dives deep into: 
  •	The origins of human sacrifice in early dynastic Egypt—and why it suddenly disappeared 
  •	Shocking archaeological finds that reveal entire retinues killed to serve their king beyond death 
  •	The political assassinations buried behind royal propaganda 
  •	The Pharaohs who expanded, concealed, or weaponized sacrificial rituals 
  •	How religion, fear, and absolute power shaped one of the most secretive traditions in the ancient world 
  Perfect for fans of ancient history, true crime, Egyptology, anthropology, and dark historical mysteries, this book delivers a gripping blend of scholarship and narrative storytelling. Every chapter pulls you deeper into the ritual logic of a civilization where gods walked among men—and where appeasing them required unthinkable acts. 
  If you believe you already know Ancient Egypt…Prepare to be proven wrong. 
  Enter the tomb. Face the truth. Discover what—and who—the Pharaohs were willing to sacrifice.

  Blame Not the Wind: A tragedy at...

  "Very occasionally a tragedy turns into a triumph. This wonderful, searing book is such a moment. Rush to read it & be thankful." – Miriam Margolyes 
  Last night Ben phoned from Bermuda, collect as usual. I’d asked – though heaven knows why as we avoid soppy talk – if he still loved me.  
  He had said, ‘Course I do.’ 
  He would be home for a visit once the race was over. He could not say exactly when but would keep in touch. 
  It is early June: the third day of June, to be precise, and a day I will never forget. Something feels wrong. Better get up. 
  Shirley’s sixth sense was all too real: tragedy had struck Ben’s ship, Marques. 
  The government announced that it was a ‘freak accident’. 
  But something did not add up. 
  On 2 June 1984 the British-registered tall ship Marques left Bermuda Harbour, cheered on by watching crowds. With other sailing vessels from across the world, the barque was heading for Halifax, Nova Scotia, having won the first leg of the internationally famous Tall Ships Race. As they sailed out to sea, there was not a cloud in the sky. But by midnight the weather had changed and the seas became violent. 
  Just 80 miles from Bermuda, things took a turn for the worse – the ship lurched and water poured in through the wide-open hatches. In 40 seconds the Marques had vanished. Of the 28 people on board, 19 were lost: crew and passengers, hailing from Britain, Canada, the US and the Caribbean. Among the missing was Shirley Cooklin’s 18-year-old son Ben. 
  Driven to seek answers, Shirley finds only dead ends and denials. She begins to wonder – what if this was not a freak accident caused by the wind? What if the tragedy was the result of a gross act of negligence? And why is the Thatcher government so interested in the incident? 
  This is the riveting true story of one mother’s lifelong search for justice. 
  In her memoir, Cooklin navigates the turbulent waters of maritime law and political history. Her quest for justice in the face of corruption and misconduct makes this autobiography a compelling addition to any non-fiction collection.
