The Waterfall: A beguiling and intricate mystery from Sunday Times bestselling author Gareth Rubin

"A story about stories within stories, as four interconnected mysteries take the reader through the ages, from Shakespeare's day to a 19th-century Gothic former Priory, to 1920s Venice, and finally to 1940s California, from the internationally bestselling author of The Turnglass. We begin with the last testament of William Shakespeare as he investigates the real-life murder mystery of his friend, playwright Christopher Marlowe. The second story is a 19th-century Gothic tale about the discovery of Shakespeare's manuscript, set in an isolated former Priory, now a clinic for those who cannot sleep. The third is a lighter Golden Age detective tale set in Venice, where private investigator Honora Feldman looks into a baffling case of theft and murder in the British expat community, with the Gothic story at its heart. And finally, a 1940s American Noir, as Ken Kourian finds that a serial killer is recreating all the murders in The Waterfall, the companion book to his friend Oliver Tooke's The Turnglass. The Waterfall is a beguiling and intricate mystery that cements Gareth Rubin's position as one of the most original authors writing today. PRAISE FOR THE TURNGLASS, THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER: 'This is a story about stories and their perspectives, the passage of time and the slow march of the inevitable. Vivid, resonant, melancholy and beautiful' JANICE HALLETT 'Rubin has pulled off the difficult trick of writing an ambitious novel that is also an easy, enjoyable read' THE TIMES, CRIME BOOK OF THE MONTH 'A bold, breathtaking piece of writing that absolutely nails its two books in one conceit. I doubt I'll ever read anything like it again, which is the highest compliment I can offer' STUART TURTON 'A stunning, ingenious, truly immersive mystery… a thrilling delight' CHRIS WHITAKER 'An intricate and thoroughly mesmerising tale of family plots and schemes across several generations' GUARDIAN, THRILLER OF THE YEAR 'Your initial amazement at his ingenuity comes to sit alongside an appreciation for the heart and depth he brings to his stories. A risky idea, beautifully executed' DAILY TELEGRAPH"

Very few titles have covered the stories of the unsung members of the F1 community in this level of detail and with such vibrancy' Toto Wolff 'Even if you think you know everything there is to know about Formula 1, you'll learn something within these pages' GP Racing Formula 1 might only have twenty drivers in its most elite competition, but each is supported by a world-class team of mechanics, engineers, strategists, party planners and much more.

For both long-time fans and newcomers, what results is the definitive, access-all-areas account of what makes F1 stand alone in world sport."

How to Sleep Like a Caveman: Ancient Wisdom for a Better Night’s Rest

"Sleep has hardly changed since Paleolithic humans snoozed soundly in their caves. While sabre-toothed tigers were their biggest night-time worry, today it’s stress and social media that keep us awake, but the solutions are the same, and sleep therapist Dr Merijn van de Laar offers understanding and advice to have you sleeping better within weeks. How to get a better night’s sleep in 3 weeks: - Don’t believe everything you read or hear about sleep - Let go of the 8-hour rule - Use the simple sleep diary in the back of this book to record your sleep pattern over 3 weeks - Discover your personal sleep needs - Examine your attitude towards lying awake at night - Shorter total bed times might be better - Focus on the reason for lying awake rather than on the reason for not sleeping - Reduce stress - Keep regular bedtimes - Follow the rules of nature - Respect your personal circadian rhythm - Don’t tempt the night-time ghosts Human sleep as we know it today evolved hundreds of thousands years ago, to suit a hunter–gatherer lifestyle. It’s not always compatible with our modern lives, but remains an essential function, vital for our health, well-being and daytime functioning. In this groundbreaking new book, Dr Merijn van de Laar investigates the origins of sleep based on archaeological findings and anthropological studies in contemporary hunter-gatherers, looking at the major discrepancies between our primordial bodily needs and our current sleep-inhibiting behaviour. Cave dwellers lived in balance with the forces of nature. They had adapted perfectly to environmental influences such as light, temperature and seasonal variations. The way they ate and moved during the day must have had a positive effect on sleep quality. We need to look to their example, and adjust our eating, exercise, light, temperature and, last but not least: our expectations towards sleep. By taking on board the ancient wisdom of our ancestors, we will improve the quality of our sleep, the way our bodies were designed to do it."
