  Winner of 'Best Book' and 'Impact for Change' True Crime Awards 2025 
  The shocking true story of one of Britain’s most secretive, groundbreaking and successful police covert operations 
  Bristol, 1979. 
  An attacker roams the streets… 
  Young women are warned not to go out alone… 
  Enter the Decoys. 
  For several years, a prolific predator haunted Bristol. Avon and Somerset Police had tried all their usual tactics to catch the ‘Clifton Rapist’, and public pressure was mounting. 
  In 1979, a daring new plan was introduced, unlike anything previously attempted by a UK police force. A small group of young female officers – some aged just 18 – put their lives on the line, walking the quiet residential roads late at night, acting as bait. 
  Drawing on in-depth research and first-hand interviews with the women at the heart of the operation, Decoy is a dramatic retelling of one of the most groundbreaking agent provocateur stings in British history. 
  Decoy by Robert Murphy is a gripping non-fiction autobiography that explores the daring tactics employed by law enforcement in 1979. The book delves into the experiences of the women who served as decoys, their encounters with harassment and assault, and the social implications of their actions. 
  For fans of Jeremy Craddock (The Jigsaw Murders), David Wilson (Murder at Home), Ryan Green (Outback Outlaw), Gregg Olsen (The Amish Wife), and Her Honour Wendy Joseph Qc (Unlawful Killings).

  'Stand by for fireworks as it hits the shelves' SUNDAY TIMES 
  'If Orwell were with us today, he'd be writing books like this' PATRICK RADDEN KEEFE 
  'Breath-taking and jaw-dropping' PETER FRANKOPAN 
  'A true-life thriller' ANNE APPLEBAUM 
  From the bestselling author of Kleptopia comes a true story about Cuckooland – a world where the rich can buy everything – including the truth. 
  Everywhere, the powerful are making a renewed claim to the greatest prize of all: to own the truth. The power to choose what you want reality to be and impose that reality on the world. 
  For three years, Tom Burgis followed a lead that took him deeper and deeper into Cuckooland – the place where the rich own the truth. The trail snaked from the Kremlin to Kathmandu, Stockholm to the Steppe, from a blood-soaked town square in Uzbekistan to a royal retreat in Scotland. Burgis hunted down oligarchs, developed secret sources and traced vast sums of money flowing between multinational corporations, ex-Soviet dictators and the west’s ruling elites. And he found one man who wanted the power to bend reality to his will. 
  This book tells an astonishing story: a tale of secrets and lies that reveals how fragile that truth can be. Whether it’s in Kazakh torture chambers or the UK’s High Court, the lords of Cuckooland are seizing control of the truth. They decree what stories may be told about war and money and power, what we are permitted to know – and more importantly, what we are not. 
  From the bestselling author of Kleptopia, Cuckooland is a deeply reported work of non-fiction that reads like a thriller. It is a story of how globalisation and technological revolution have combined to imperil the foundation of free societies: that the truth belongs to the many, not the few. 
  Cuckooland by Tom Burgis, the Sunday Times bestselling author, is a non-fiction exploration of corruption and misconduct in the 21st century. The book delves into the world of white-collar crime in modern Russia, providing a unique perspective on the intersection of business, economics, and political history. 
  For fans of Oliver Bullough (The Last Man in Russia), Tim Marshall (Divided), Bill Browder (Orden de embargo. Una historia real de blanqueo de dinero, asesinatos y...), Chris Blackhurst (The World's Biggest Cash Machine), and Eliot Higgins (We Are Bellingcat).

The one patient she is able to truly connect with is Nathaniel. Tisha and Nathaniel couldn't be more different, except they both know what it's like to be born a size too big for this world.

  Before the Law - From their pens...

  Franz Kafka

  Franz Kafka was born on 3rd July 1883 in Prague, then in Bohemia, the eldest of 6, into a middle-class Jewish family. 
  Life for the young Kafka and his passion for literature was often made an ordeal by his over-bearing and domineering entrepreneur of a father.   
  In 1889 Kafka was sent to the Deutsche Knabenschule, an elementary school in Prague. His father would only allow him to be educated in German-speaking schools and even went so far as to limit visits to the synagogue to four a year. 
  In 1901 he graduated from the classics-oriented Altstädter Gymnasium. Kafka did well there and across a large range of subjects.  He now enrolled at the Charles Ferdinand University, to study chemistry, but quickly switched to law for which he obtained his degree in June 1906 and then performed the mandatory year of unpaid service as clerk at the civil and criminal courts. 
  A job at an Italian insurance company left him little time to write and after a year he took another job with the Worker's Accident Insurance Institute for the Kingdom of Bohemia where he stayed until ill health led to his resignation in 1922. 
  Although he saw work as a means to pay the bills and to allow him time to write, he received several promotions and was noted as a good employee. 
  By 1917 Kafka was suffering from tuberculosis, which required frequent periods of convalescence. Interspersed with this, were several intense affairs before he settled in Berlin with Dora Diamant, a 25-year-old kindergarten teacher who herself having left the ghetto now influenced Kafka's interest in the book of Jewish law, the Talmud. 
   
   
  Kafka’s on-going health was littered with problems. Apart from TB there were several other ailments, including migraines, insomnia, boils, depression, all usually brought on by excessive stresses and strains. He attempted to counteract all of this by naturopathic treatments, a vegetarian diet and consuming large quantities of unpasteurized milk. 
  His tuberculosis still worsened. He returned to Prague, where he died on 3rd June 1924. He was 40.
