When Anna came to England with her mother and father, she hadn't quite expected to end up with the Queen's jewels sewn into the lining of her coat. Nor did she think she'd be helping an inept gang of would-be robbers dispose of the loot in Paris. A whimsical tale that grows funnier as each page turns. Lots of slapstick and satire for children nine to ninety!

A young Mixtec Indian from Guatemala follows the trail of tears through Mexico to a migrant camp in the strawberry fields of California. There, instead of refuge, he finds himself accused of murder. Is he the killer or a patsy set up to distract attention from a right wing cult? Radkin is lured into writing a story but finds himself used as bait in a mystery that goes far beyond a small farming town. Mayan Strawberries combines a fascinating anthropological study with the deadly politics of Central America. Final book of the Radkin series and previously unpublished. A Black Apollo original. "It's great to see this delicious series back in print ! What the 'New Crime' genre attempted through books like the Joseph Radkin Investigation Series - recently brought back into print by Black Apollo Mysteries - was to exchange the cheap thrills of macho car chases and hot lead with a world where criminals can be good guys and villains can be ordinary people who betrayed a human trust. In the process we were given insight into dusty corners of history that few of us knew existed!" Oxymandias Magazine "Has a zip and freshness of narration hard to resist ... funny as well." The Guardian "More red herrings than a Moscow fishmonger's" Yorkshire Post "Difficult to put down!" Scotland on Sunday "This is nothing what it seems territory with a few extra twists, mayhem and a cruel message. Formidable!" The Sunday Times

Children of the Ghetto by Israel Zangwill was published in 1892. It documents the lives of immigrant Jews who lived and worked in the Yiddish-speaking streets and densely packed alleys emptying into London's Petticoat Lane, the East End bazaar that was both marketplace and communal watering hole. Zangwill's portrayal of the uncertain situation of 'his people,' which all too often had been painted in dreadfully sombre tones by earnest social reformers and drum-beating evangelists, is insightfully told with affectionate honesty and wryness of humour. Introduction by social historian and Victorian Series editor, Bob Biderman.

In Survivor Guilt, Haig Tahta continues the story of several characters from his outstanding family saga, The Constantinople Trilogy. Carrying forward the adventure that began with those who suffered the terrors of 1915, the reader is taken on a perilous yet exciting journey through Fascist Italy and Vichy France. In the course of his electrifying narrative, Tahta explores the connection between the ethnic cleansing of Armenians in Anatolia and the more notorious Jewish Holocaust through a compelling plot fuelled by the notion of guilt - not of the oppressor but of the victim who survived.
