Are You Positive? by Stephen Davis (L&G Productions LLC) (120 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Ripped from the headlines of today's news, "Are You Positive?" is a fictitious courtroom drama in the style of John Grisham. 26-year-old Tyree Johnson stands accused of first degree murder in a prominent South Carolina courtroom. But his murder weapon is not a gun or a knife; in fact, there was no violent crime at all. His "victim," Beth Ann Brooks, dated Tyree for a few months, and they made love more than once. However, Tyree Johnson had been diagnosed HIV-Positive, and the prosecution claims that Beth Ann Brooks was infected with HIV by Tyree and died some months later. The defense, however, claims there is reasonable doubt that Tyree's HIV diagnosis was wrong - that, according to numerous scientific studies, the so-called "HIV tests" are fraught with errors, and have been ever since their inventor, Dr. Robert Gallo, lied on his patent application. Furthermore, Tyree's lawyer argues that there is no scientific evidence that HIV is transmitted by heterosexual intercourse, and that Tyree's girlfriend died from taking lethal anti-retroviral drugs rather than from any HIV/AIDS-related illness. Based on more than 500 actual scientific studies and references, the author claims that every word of sworn testimony is true and verifiable. "Are You Positive?" raises serious questions about whether anyone has ever been properly diagnosed as HIV-Positive, and whether most AIDS victims are dying from the side-effects of the HIV medications prescribed by their doctors - all in a spell-binding novel. You be the judge.

Tightrope (Trelawney Book 3) by Antony Melville-Ross (Lume Books) (83 Reviews)    Price verified 30 minutes ago

In Antony Melville-Ross's third book, Trelawney is back with a vengeance - and what a vengeance. Antony Melville-Ross's first spy novel Blindfold was warmly greeted - and compared to the works of Ian Fleming - by some of the most discriminating judges, and his second, Two Faces of Nemesis, consolidated this reputation. In Tightrope, which is perhaps his most brilliant performance, Trelawney and his bewitching partner Jane Trask are at the forefront of the action, which takes place in England and the United States. What makes this book something quite extraordinary in spy fiction is its accurate reflection of the chaos and irrationality of the world, that is so often reflected in news reports - the world of hostages and terrorism, of mindless destruction and cruelty. Although it is set against a Cold War backdrop, modern readers will find much in this story that is familiar. Skilfully plotted and vigorously written, Tightrope is a superior spy thriller that will please readers who enjoy the work of Fleming, Deighton, Le Carré and Tom Clancy. Praise for Tightrope: 'Melville-Ross has dry-docked his submarines and entered the unpleasant and unseen world of the English "spooks". In doing so he has lost none of his finely crafted characterisations, engaging dialogue and lively storytelling. As the title suggests, it is a taut, engaging and sadly, probably quite realistic in its portrayal of those involved' - Amazon review Antony Melville-Ross (1920-1993) won the DSC while serving in submarines during World War II, and became involved in Intelligence activities after the war. Subsequently he worked as an oil company executive in the Middle East, New York and South America. He also wrote six novels, of which Blindfold was the first.

A brain-teasing mystery that grabs you right from the start - and then delivers A bedraggled woman turns up on Rory Cavenham's doorstep in the middle of a storm, convinced that the year is 1972, but claiming to have lost her memory. Despite his own troubled past, Rory is drawn to her; but she's fearful of authority and frightened of mysterious pursuers, and insists on keeping a low profile as she adjusts to modern life. Determined to help her, Rory finds links to two strong but compromised women, but the truth behind their interlocking stories remains elusive. Meanwhile, the pursuers turn out to be all too real, and the pace builds as the story lunges towards its remarkable and redemptive climax.

Readers who have enjoyed Peter Rowlands' popular Mike Stanhope mysteries will be fascinated by this complex and intriguing tale. Like them, it is distinguished by vibrant characters and sparkling dialogue, but it also introduces some beguiling new ingredients that add extra edge to the mix.

THE TRIAL OF MILTIADES by Francis Mace (3 Reviews)    Price verified 60 minutes ago

Of Miltiades' trial, it is too early to assess the repercussions. On his return to Athens (Spring 493 BCE), he has been prosecuted on a charge of tyranny in the Chersonese (Gallipoli), an Athenian colony. This book includes the two main speeches (the one for the prosecution deriving from Elpinike's memory, while her father's speech she easily includes as a document in her possession). There's a kind of Tom and Viv (or Perikles-Aspasia) scenario, Elpinike having worked with her father on his speech. As Miltiades faces the possibility of ruin both for himself and his family, the psychological pressures upon Athens herself are intensifying. She must lose her identity forever, or accept the inevitability of war with imperial Persia. Note: This edition is at first mainly concerned with the viewpoint of Elpinike. Those wanting to get quickly to the essential theme of the book, the trial itself, may prefer the later edition.

But no sooner has she mustered enough energy to begin finding the person responsible, than the poisoner strikes again. And this time, he's successful... A Detective at Death's Door is the fifth book in HRF Keating's popular Harriet Martens/Hard Detective series but works well as a stand-alone novel. It's a great choice for fans of 'golden age' British crime novels. Praise for A Detective at Death's Door: 'This is a really enjoyable series, and this was probably my favourite of the ones I've read so far. As I've mentioned about the other books, one of the great features in how it's written is the contrast between the third person perspective of the 'tough' ?Hard Detective' Harriet Martens contrasted with her inner thoughts. It lends such depth to her character & also shows her vulnerability. These books are quite Agatha Christie-ish in tone, though still very modern.' - Goodreads review Henry Reymond Fitzwalter Keating (1926-2011) was an English author known primarily for his crime fiction, although he also wrote several non-crime novels and reference books, and spent many years as critic of crime fiction for The Times.
