The Murder Case that Shook a GenerationOn 2nd November 1952, two teenagers were trapped by police on a warehouse roof. In the course of what the national press were to describe as a Chicago-style gun battle, P.C. Sidney Miles was shot between the eyes and died.16-year-old Christopher Craig and 19-year-old Derek Bentley were subsequently arrested and sent to trial.

Imagine a company so big and so powerful that its annual turnover is equal in size to Chinas entire GDP. A company whose gross turnover for just one financial year is sufficient to buy at current market value the worlds three largest public companies: General Electric, Royal Dutch Shell and Microsoft. A company that if it dipped into its petty cash could in the same year also buy Coca-Cola. A company where ten days turnover is in excess of the combined assets of the worlds top fifty banks.It exists. Its current annual turnover of more than $500 billion is derived from just three products: heroin, cocaine, marijuana. The drugs cartel of cartels is a factual reality, but sometimes it is only through fiction that one can get close to the real truth.Drawing on years of experience as a bestselling investigative writer, David Yallop has produced an explosive fiction debut. Unholy Alliance is a breath-taking high-speed race that goes straight to the truth behind the modern American nightmare and into an alarming, but all too believable future.

Issu d’une famille modeste et rejetant le luxe et l’apparat, l’Italien Albino Luciani n’était pas un pape comme les autres. Les cardinaux qui l’élirent pensaient trouver en lui un pape de transition,

El lado oscuro del Vaticano de Juan Pablo IIJuan Pablo II fue uno de los personajes más carismáticos de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Tras una carrera meteórica en el seno de la Iglesia, se convirtio en papa de forma sorprendente a la muerte de su antecesor, Juan Pablo I. Entonces comenzo uno de los mas largos pontificados de la historia, caracterizado por los numerosos viajes de Wojtyla y por su enorme exposicion a los medios de comunicacion, pero tambien por coincidir en el tiempo con algunos sucesos historicos fundamentales como el fin de la Guerra Fria y el derrumbe del comunismo.Como ya hiciera enEn nombre de Dios, su polemico libro sobre la muerte de Juan Pablo I, el escritor y renombrado investigador David Yallop se aparta de nuevo en su ultimo libro de la historia oficial y del ensalzamiento gratuito, para diseccionar la figura y el legado de Wojtyla. El resultado es una obra critica y valiente que arroja luz sobre los aciertos pero sobre todo los errores, menos conocidos, del fallecido papa. El libro reconstruye con abundancia de datos y testimonios, incluidos muchos de miembros de la curia vaticana, un pontificado tan grandioso en sus propositos como corto en sus resultados. El autor britanico atribuye este desequilibrio a un estilo excesivamente personalista y a los grandes tropiezos que ensombrecieron la trayectoria de un papa que lleva camino de ser santo: el rechazo de Wojtyla a la Teologia de la Liberacion y su negativa a entender los procesos de emancipacion latinoamericanos, su incapacidad para abordar el problema de la corrupcion de las finanzas vaticanas, su pasividad a la hora de denunciar y de enfrentarse a los casos de abuso sexual protagonizados por eclesiasticos y su ferrea obstinacion en rechazar las reformas solicitadas por millones de fieles y por una parte significativa del clero.
