The Forgotten David Baldacci What, or who, is silencing the residents? Military criminal investigator John Puller is drawn closer to home when his aunt is found dead in her house in Paradise, Florida. The local police have ruled the death as an accident, but Puller finds evidence to suggest that she may well have been murdered. On the surface the town lives up to its name, but as Puller digs deeper he realises that this town and its inhabitants are more akin to Hell than Paradise. His belief is confirmed as evidence of strange and inexplicable events come to light. And when he learns the truth about the happenings in this once sleepy town, he knows that his discoveries will impact far more than Paradise.

Chaos Theory Anuvab Pal Sunita and Mukesh meet in the classrooms and lawns of St. Stephen’s College, New Delhi in the 1960s, going on to Cambridge and Harvard, and ending up as professors at Columbia University in 2001. He teaches Elizabethan poetry and she South Asian History. Vocal, intelligent and well-read, they express all sorts of complicated ideas and emotions in other people’s words (Shakespeare, Hegel, Kant) without being able to articulate how they feel about each other.

ISBN 9781447238072 IMPRINT PICADOR CATEGORY GENERAL FICTION EXTENT 360pp FORMAT B/HARDBACK PRICE `499/-

• Author is screenwriter of the films The President is Coming (2009) and Loins of Punjab (2007). • Unusual romance between Sunita and Mukesh – where no love is mentioned, will keep readers intrigued • Enjoyable university comedy with a dash of the tragic

In this romance, love and sex are replaced by conversation and verbal duels–Sunita and Mukesh play a Shakespeare quotation game every Thursday for thirty years! The moments they spend together is what is most precious to them. The story captures them simultaneously as they live the mundane minutiae of daily life–careers, relationships, marriage, children, but all with other people. Chaos Theory, as loosely defined in particle physics, talks of two particles that circle around each other but never connect. Mukesh and Sunita’s uncertainties– about how and what they teach, how and what they teach Americans being Indians, about each other, not talking about each other–make them chaotic particles in an immigrant’s story of survival, not of a practical, physical kind, but of ideas. In this exploration of missed connections between the abstract theories of modern physics with the equally abstract emotions of an aging pair of irreverent professors, comic and tragic mix together in a search for comfort–ephemeral and fragile.

BIOGRAPHY Anuvab Pal is a playwright, author, screenwriter and stand-up comic, and columnist for various Indian and international publications. His plays–Chaos Theory, The President is Coming, Fatwa, 1888 Dial India and The Bureaucrat–have been staged in India and across the world. He has authored the novels 1 888 Dial India (2010) and The President is Coming (2008), and a non-fiction, Disco Dancer: A Comedy in Five Acts (2009). He is screenwriter of The President is Coming (2009) and co-screenwriter of Loins of Punjab (2007). He performs stand-up comedy across India and in London.

• The brand new standalone thriller by the globally bestselling author of Winter in Madrid and the Shardlake series

Winter 1952. Though war rages on in the east, Britain is at peace with Nazi Germany and many now see the country as little more than a corrupt German satellite state. The free press has been suspended, the streets are patrolled by violent auxiliary police, the British Jews face ever tighter constraints and there are dark, terrible rumours about what is happening in the basement of Senate House – held by the German Gestapo. Meanwhile Civil Servant David Fitzgerald, recruited as a spy by Churchill’s outlawed organisation Free Britain, must complete a mission of desperate importance. His old friend Frank Muncaster may have obtained topsecret information with striking ramifications. But David is not the only one looking for Frank, and soon the pair – along with their Free Britain allies, and David’s terrified wife Sarah – will find themselves fugitives in their own country, fleeing not just for their lives, but for the very future itself. At once a startling, sinister reimagining of 1950s Britain and a gripping, humane spy thriller, with Dominion C. J. Sansom once again asserts himself as the master of the historical thriller.

BIOGRAPHY C. J. Sansom was educated at Birmingham University, where he took a BA and then a Ph.D. in history. After working in a variety of jobs, he retrained as a solicitor and practised in Sussex, until becoming a full-time writer.

But Will the Planet Notice? How Smart Economics Can Save the World

Gernot Wagner

You are one of seven billion people on Earth. Put bluntly, whatever you do personally—eat tofu in a Hummer or hamburgers in a Prius—the planet doesn’t care. Nor, for that matter, does the economy. And when confronting the entwined challenges of climate change, species preservation, and a planet going off the cliff, it is what several billion people do that makes a difference. The solution? Not scientists, not politicians, not activists. Cue the economists.

The hope of mankind, and indeed of every living thing on the planet, is now in the hands of the masters of the dismal science. Fortunately, they’ve been there before, albeit on a much smaller scale. It was economists who solved acid rain in the 1990s, admittedly with a strong assist from a phalanx of lawyers and activists. Economists have helped get lead out of our gas, and they can explain why lobsters haven’t disappeared off the coast of New England but tuna is on the verge of extinction. More disquietingly, they can take the lessons of the financial crisis and model with greater accuracy than anyone else the likelihood of environmental catastrophe, and they can rationalize the abandonment of threatened species. They can also solve the climate crisis, if only we let them.

Hallucinations, for most people, imply madness. But there are many different types of non-psychotic hallucination caused by various illnesses or injuries, by intoxication–even, for many people, by falling asleep. From the elementary geometrical shapes that we see when we rub our eyes to the complex swirls and blind spots and zigzags of a visual migraine, hallucination takes many forms. At a higher level, hallucinations associated with the altered states of consciousness that may come with sensory deprivation or certain brain disorders can lead to religious epiphanies or conversions. Drawing on a wealth of clinical examples from his own patients as well as historical and literary descriptions, Oliver Sacks investigates the fundamental differences and similarities of these many sorts of hallucinations, what they say about the organization and structure of our brains, how they have influenced every culture’s folklore and art, and why the potential for hallucination is present in us all.

• From the best-selling author of Musicophilia and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, a provocative investigation into hallucinations – auditory, visual, tactile, olfactory – their many guises, their physiological sources, and their personal and cultural resonances.
