This story begins with a boy, the child of Czech immigrants to the US, who is brought up on the ancient myths, and on the folktales of his parents’ homeland. As he grows older, he becomes aware that the one thing he hasn’t been told is what his parents did – and who his mother loved – during the war. It is only as an adult, when he makes a journey back to Prague, that he discovers their part in the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, the notorious ‘butcher of Prague’. Embedded at the heart of this gripping history is a powerful love story – of a tragic passion and an enduring commitment. Plotted with all the intensity of a thriller, this intelligent and moving novel has what it takes to be a readers’ favourite and a contemporary classic.

In the heat of Rome's long summer, the poet Catullus and his older married lover, Clodia, meet in secret. Living at the heart of sophisticated and brutal Roman society at the time of Pompey and Julius Caesar, Catullus is obsessed with Clodia. He is jealous of her husband, of her maid, even of her pet sparrow. As for Clodia, Catullus is 'her dear poet', but possibly not her only interest...

Their Rome is a city of extremes. Slaves are the eyes and ears of everything that goes on, while civilisation and violence are equals, murder is the easy option and poison the weapon of choice.

Catallus' relationship with Clodia is one of the most intense, passionate, tormented and candid in history. In love and in hate, their story exposes the beauty and terrors of Roman life in the late Republic.

This book concerns itself with how, through creative marketing, these viruses can be started in order to greatly benefit the products they relate to, without the marketing budgets of Nike or Coca-Cola.
