THE NO. 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES

‘The best of the new cosy crime writers’ Daily Telegraph

It’s spring 1990, and in Champton the whole village is aflutter as a glamorous Hollywood movie has taken over Lord de Floures’ Champton House as its set location.

As the actors and extras hired from the village don their farthingales, gowns and crowns for a masque set in the 1600s, a murder interrupts filming on set – and it’s an ingenious one . . .

Can Daniel solve the mystery with help from his sidekick, Detective Sergeant Neil Vanloo – even when things are so sticky between them?

‘You’ll want to take a front row pew in Champton while this delicious series unfolds’ Janice Hallett

Midnight Diaries

Emma — Thu, 12 Oct 2000 00:00:00 +0000

The struggles and upheavals in Russia over the last few years seen from the top ? Boris Yeltsin was the President of Russia for a decade. He overcame the coup of 1991, he developed good relationships with world leaders from Clinton to Helmut Kohl. What was the chemistry of his meetings with Jacques Chirac, Tony Blair and Ziang Zhao Min? How did he get on when the Queen visited Moscow, the first British monarch to step onto Russian soil since before the first world war. Yeltsin gives his account of the revolution in Chechnya; he explains his feelings on the former Yugoslavia imbroglio and why Russia couldn?t intervene more effectively.
Here is Yeltsin on his own often unreliable health, his quintuple bypass surgery, his depression (like Churchill?s ?Black Dog?periods) and how he survived to retire on the eve of the new millennium.
Yeltsin gives his views on a non Communist Russia, democracy, the struggling economy, the mafia ? and his own determination to give the citizens of his country a better future than its glorious but authoritarian past.
