Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. When Princess Diana died in August 1997, the nation mourned for a woman they felt they had come to know intimately. They had witnessed the quiet, blushing Lady Diana Spencer transform into an elegant, stylish ambassador, tirelessly campaiging for the causes in which she believed. It was through Diana that the public came to see a warmer side to the monarchy. But who was the real Princess Diana? Away from the public gace and the media glare was a woman who preferred high street styles to high fashion and who wandered barefoot around her Kensington Palace home. In this revealing book, royal expert Jude Wade speaks to some of Diana's closest friends and confidantes. They describe how she cleaned her own bath, worried about her weight and nagged her sons just like any other mum. They tell of her secret plan to marry a man who shared her desire to help the sick, her violent row with Dodi Fayed just before they died, and the real reason behind her last mission to Australia. This informative book also looks at Diana's manipulation of the media, the impact of her death to the monarchy, plus the police investigation and subsequent inquests into the crash that killed her. This is a fascinating look at a woman who was so many things to so many different people.

Convicted of murder and manslaughter in the 1970s, he was sentenced to life at the notorious Parkhurst Prison. An institution filled with the most sinister and violent criminals, Parkhurst is certainly not for the faint-hearted. Norman Parker has certainly seen a lot during his time on the inside and this is his complete collection of tales from behind the bars. During his gruelling years on the inside, he encountered some of the highest-profile criminals in Britain, from the Kray twins to the Great Train Robbers. With so many dangerous characters and their deep and dark past, there are plenty of stories to tell. From a real-life Hannibal Lector and his murderous cannibal past to a petty thief whose experiences in prison turned him into a brutal and cold-hearted killer. Or the IRA bomber who deems theft as morally wrong and Vic, a loose cannon who proved that prison was no safer than the outside world as inmates feared for their lives. This book is a shockingly powerful and intimate portrayal of the prison system and is filled with Norman Parker's sharp intelligence and witty observations on every aspect of the secret world in one of Britain's toughest jails. 508 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.). …

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Reprint. Paperback. The Secret Life of Freddie Mills. National Hero. Boxing Champion. Serial Killer. Seven young women, all murdered in the most disgusting manner imaginable. Unimaginable, in fact: a first of its kind, and never before explicity revealed. All the victims were prostitutes. All were dumped naked having been stored by their killer as sex toys. Some of them were mothers. Each was someone's daughter. And for more than fifty years the author has lived with the haunting secret that he was once suspected by Scotland Yard of being a serial killer more depraved and dangerous than Jack the Ripper. In the killing-spree that lasted more than a year, the author had a mole deep inside Scotland Yard's Murder Squad, similar to 'Deep Throat' from the Watergate Scandal, who was drip-feeding him the step-by-step ploys to snare the monster who brough terror to the streets of West London. When the killings stopped, the most senior member of the Murder Squad claimed that the serial killer had committed suicide and an innocent man was named in a deceitful cover-up. The author fingers the real serial kille, a celebrity and national treasure who died in circumstances arguably even more bizarre than the manner in which he murdered his victims.
