United Kingdom: Collins, 2009. "It is amazing to think that a game that people take for granted all around the world, was the very same game that gave a group of prisoners sanity - and in a way, gave us the resolve to carry on the struggle'. This is the astonishing story of how a unique group of political prisoners and freedom fighters found a sense of dignity in one of the ugliest hellholes on Earth: Robben Island. Despite all odds and regular torture, beatings and daily backbreaking hard labour, these extraordinary men turned soccer into an active force in the struggle for freedom. For nearly 20 years, the political prisoners on Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was infamously incarcerated, somehow found the energy, spirit and resolve to organise a 1400 prisoner-strong, eight club football league which was played with strict adherance to FIFA rules. The prisoners themselves represented a broad array of political beliefs and backgrounds, yet football became an impassioned and unified symbol of resistance against apartheid. They refused to let their own political differences sway their devotion to the sport, which allowed them to organise and maintain leadership right under the noses of their captors. This league not only provided sanctuary and respite from the prisoners' cruel surroundings, it kept their minds active and many credit it with keeping them alive."

"Frank Darabont's screenplay is a faithful adaptation of Stephen King's story set on the death-row block at Cold Mountain Correctional Facility during the Great Depression. Starring Tom Hanks, the film is narrated by the superintendent of death row who tells the story of a mysterious inmate, a prisoner with the body of a giant and the mind of a child, who is allegedly guilty of murdering two little girls. While awaiting his execution, the mysterious inmate displays odd supernatural powers that cause his fellow inmates and guards to question their beliefs about everything they hold dear.

Fanny Lynam's party was awkward to arrange.Her old friend,Clare Forwood,wasn't eager to come,although she had particularly asked to meet Sir Peter Poulter,the newspaper tycoon,who had already accepted. Then there was the risk that Tom Mordue would quarrel with everyone. And worst of all,Fanny was very nervous of the smart young widow,Laura Greenslade,who had just become engaged to her half-brother,Kit Raven.What did Laura want with Kit,Fanny wondered.Was it true that there was something mysterious about Laura - something peculiar? At any rate,Fanny knew that her speciality - lobster patties - would help to make the partya success.Neither she nor the reader could have guessed therole those lobster patties were to play.

New series. New setting. New police force. Fictional criminal investigation in Devon and Cornwall, Exmouth Quays. And the debut of D/S Jimmy Suttle. No one liked Jake Kinsey. A rich man, he turned up out of nowhere, acquired Exmouth's trophy penthouse flat and then bought his way into the local rowing club. No friends,not much of a rower, not a nice guy.And now, after a long fall from his balcony, he's dead. One indisputably concrete fact in a web of innuendo, half-truths and rumour. D/S Jimmy Suttle, a newcomer to the Devon and Cornwall force from his old job on Major Crimes in Portsmouth, is the one detective who suspects that Kinsey has been killed. But why? And by whom? Answers don't come easy. Evidence is thin. His boss, beset by budget cuts and pressure of other cases, needs to move on. Except that Suttle is more and more certain that he's looking at murder. Jimmy Suttle is left to work alone - all too conscious that time, the pressures of the job and the wreckage of his private life are lengthening the odds against any kind of result. The enquiry is dead in the water. Suttle's wife, embittered by the move to a remote country cottage, is threatening to decamp with their daughter Grace. Worse still, the deepening shadow of a killing related to Jimmy's old life in Pompey is creeping ever closer. 'Western Approaches': one man's bid to gamble his own integrity against the mounting chaos of the lives around him.
