Ghislaine Maxwell - Jeffrey...

Nigel Cawthorne

Ghislaine Maxwell had everything
Her jetset world was not only made up of Presidents, top billionaires, Hollywood stars, Kennedys and Rockefellers, but also of princes, princesses, dukes and duchesses, all as regular friends - including university friend Prince Andrew, the favorite son of the Queen of England. Yet she still wanted more. Ghislaine met shadowy billionaire Jeffrey Epstein and amassed a fortune of almost $30 million over the course of their friendship. Her arrest by the FBI in July 2020 - almost a year to the day of Epstein's second arrest on sex charges - proved a stinging fall from grace as $30 million bail was refused. Having always strenuously denied all allegations, she contested the allegations in court after being held for a long-time in a Brooklyn facility pending what the press dubbed 'the trial of the century'. GHISLAINE MAXWELL leaves no stone unturned and is the first investigation based on all new sources available. An explosive true story, GHISLAINE MAXWELL is a riveting tale of wealth, and the law, reaching deep into the highest levels of our society.

Honestly She Doesn't Live Here...

Pamela Wick

For Pamela Wick, President and Mrs. Reagan were simply Ronnie and Nancy, her parents' best friends. What began with Pamela's mom and Nancy organizing the chili booth at their kids' school fair in Los Angeles soon propelled Pamela's parents into pivotal roles that would help Reagan secure the California governorship and eventually the grand prize: the White House. 
 
 
 
Determined to win her parents' approval as the perfect daughter, Pamela marries the son of Republican royalty and joins them in DC to begin her fairytale in the nation's Capitol—or so she thought. What follows is her firsthand look behind the scenes at the gilded age of the Reagan years in Washington, DC—an era now long gone. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking, but always insightful, the narrative chronicles her journey to penetrate Washington society at the highest levels—from Christmas Eve at her family home with President Reagan dressed as Santa Claus, to intimate dinners at the White House. But behind the golden gates, Pam's marriage is unraveling, and her father's high-profile political scandal threatens to destroy their carefully constructed life. Soon, she's trading in glitzy state dinners for congressional hearings attacking her father, and at the center of the Reagan revolution, Pam's own personal uprising begins.

Pandamonium! - How (Not) to Run...

Simon Williams

'Hilarious, heart-wrenching and packed with British music history.' - COLDPLAY A Virgin Radio Book of the YearIt's a life-and-near-death story. But whose life? And whose near-death?As a one-time NME journalist, former Xfm radio presenter, toilet-circuit promoter and the founder of enduring homespun British record label Fierce Panda, Simon Williams has been at the cutting, cutting, cutting edge of all things 'indie' for over thirty years. During his tenure as managing director of Fierce Panda (a role he holds to this day), Simon was responsible for tripping over bands such as Coldplay, Keane, Placebo and countless other acts of independent hue - some of whom have gone on to achieve earth-shattering musical superstardom, while others have merely baffled the crowd at the Bull & Gate in north London on a wet Wednesday evening.Unfiltered and unflinching, Pandamonium! is the story of Simon's time at the indie coalface, filled with insider anecdotes to entertain music enthusiasts everywhere - from the origins of a bootlegged Oasis release to Chris Martin's delight at reaching number ninety-two in the charts. But it is also the story of how Simon tried to bring a premature end to proceedings, documenting in blunt, matter-of-fact detail his longstanding mental-health struggles.Yet, despite his raw and often poignant honesty, Simon writes with the warmth, wit, self-deprecation and wide-eyed good fortune of someone who has stared into the abyss and survived, bounding down a few indie rabbit holes along the way.
