One Good Turn
The second Jackson Brodie novel (after Case Histories): literary crime from the prizewinning, number-one bestselling author of Big Sky and Transcription. 'An absolute joy to read...the pleasure of One Good Turn lies in the ride, in Atkinson's wry, unvanquished characters, her swooping, savvy, sarcastic prose and authorial joie de vivre' Guardian It is summer, it is the Edinburgh Festival. People queuing for a lunchtime show witness a road-rage incident - a near-homicidal attack which changes the lives of everyone involved. Jackson Brodie, ex-army, ex-police, ex-private detective, is also an innocent bystander - until he becomes a murder suspect. As the body count mounts, each member of the teeming Dickensian cast's story contains a kernel of the next, like a set of nesting Russian dolls. They are all looking for love or money or redemption or escape: but what each actually discovers is their own true self.

Paul Bradley's Galaxy of Stars
Until now you may never have heard of Paul Bradley, a quiet unassuming gardener from Yorkshire. Paul is a sufferer of Asperger's syndrome which leads to passionate, some would say obsessive, behaviour. However Paul's indomitable spirit has enabled him to channel his enormous energy into amassing a truly remarkable collection of autographs and photographs of movie stars, producers and directors. That he has done this on a shoestring budget with savings from his gardening jobs is even more remarkable. Taking the overnight coach (to save money) from Yorkshire to London, he has met and rubbed shoulders with a galaxy of stars . He is on first name terms with more Oscar and BAFTA winners than you could imagine possible. The book traces Paul's family history in Scarborough and commences with a photograph of Sir Winston Churchill taken by his great-grandfather. What a start This is going to be the Rainman of the book world and before you ask, yes, Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman are both featured.
