The gripping and revealing autobiography of one of Britain's most successful international cyclists of the modern era
'Getting in a break was my one chance of winning. The hard part was working out, again and again, how to make that chance count'
Sharp, resourceful and a permanent outsider; for nearly 20 years Steve Cummings determinedly blazed his own winning trail in international cycling. A maverick who defied the dominant teams, to record a sequence of gloriously improbable victories, he has lived and raced with legends of the sport - Cavendish, Wiggins, Froome, Thomas and others - about whom he has strong views and untold stories.
This autobiography of one of Britain's most successful international riders of the modern era takes the reader from Steve's earliest days as a junior, pounding across the flatlands of the Wirral, through his love-hate relationships with the British Cycling track cycling squad, to his series of top-level breakaway victories in the Tour de France, Tour of Britain and Vuelta a EspaNa and - rather than standout physical talent - how developing his own strategies and training techniques enabled him to succeed against the odds.
The Break will be the first full-length account of the life and times of, in the words of ProCycling magazine, a 'universally popular and respected rider in the cycling world'.
The fifth audiobook in the DCI Jamie Carver Series, DEATH IN MIND charts new territory as Carver comes up against a killer whose methods are not only unique, but who also knows what the questions will be, before they are even asked.
A woman steps off the platform into the path of the oncoming train. On a lonely road at night, a young man steers his sports car into a tree, at speed. Tragic suicides, clearly. Or are they? When enquiries show neither victim had reason to kill themselves, DCI Jamie Carver faces a conundrum. Can someone be programmed to take their own life? And if so, can they also be programmed to murder? These are the questions the detective must answer, and quickly, before more die. But how do you do that when the person pulling the strings may also be pulling yours? And how do you stay safe when someone is targeting you for murder, and even they don't know it?
'A fantastic page turner with a hugely sinister and disturbing villain at its heart' - Reviewer for FAMILY REUNION
Family Reunion is a race-against-time thriller in which Jamie Carver must break through the wall of silence surrounding the illegal-immigrant community to save a family who don't even know they need saving. But can he succeed against an adversary as warped as any he has faced before?
In eastern Europe, The Monster of Yereven has escaped the asylum, and is heading here to arrange his long-planned, Family Reunion. It won't be a joyous affair. During his years in solitary, the country's most brutal mass-murderer had plenty of time to plot his vengeance against the family that gave him up to the authorities, before fleeing for a new life, elsewhere. Still haunted by past events, Detective Jamie Carver's task is to find The Monster's family before he does. Two problems. One, no one knows who they are. Two, he's barred from operational duties. But when a trail of bodies points to the killer closing in on his prey, Carver has no choice but to go rogue, even if it risks destroying everything he holds dear!
MICHAEL OWEN'S new autobiography will enable him to open up about his football life for the first time and set the record straight once and for all. It promises to make for an explosive read and one of the most hotly anticipated football books of the year.
The legendary striker published his first book Off The Record in 2004 but feels he didn't have a voice during his playing days and now, six years after hanging up his boots, he can finally lift the lid on what really happened during his career. After breaking into the Liverpool team as a 17-year-old, Owen burst on to the international scene with a wonder goal against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup. But controversial transfers to Real Madrid, Newcastle United and Anfield rivals Manchester United have always divided opinion among fans. Now Owen is revealing what really happened during a career that saw him share a dressing room with the likes of David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, Steven Gerrard and Alan Shearer.
Peter Reid is one of the most colourful characters to emerge from England over the last 50 years. As a player, he established himself as one of the leading midfielders of his era, being named PFA Player of the Year in 1985 and credited as the fourth best footballer in the world. He won numerous honours with Everton, including two league titles, one FA Cup and one European Cup Winners' Cup. He also won 13 England caps, playing at the 1986 World Cup - where a date with destiny at the 'hand' of Diego Maradona would provide a lasting, painful memory. This is the unique story of a footballer who got to the top and never forgot his roots. Told with typical forthrightness, Peter's audiobook will capture the imagination of football fans far and wide.
Little Jeff Pearce grew up in a post-war Liverpool slum. His father lived the life of an affluent gentleman whilst his mother was forced to steal bread to feed her starving children. Life was tough and from the moment Jeff could walk he learned to go door to door, begging rags from the rich, which he sold down the markets. Leaving school at the age of fourteen, he embarked on an extraordinary journey, and found himself, before the age of thirty, a millionaire. Then a cruel twist of fate left him penniless. With nothing but holes in his pockets, Jeff had no alternative but to go back down the markets and start all over again. Could he really get back everything he had lost?
