New Releases by Brian Lynch

A fictional imagining of the gentle but troubled zealot William Cowper--best known as a precursor to Romantics such as Wordsworth and Burns--Brian Lynch''s The Winner of Sorrow brings to life the mind and times of an eighteenth-century poet. Intense and exhilarating, this is literary fiction at its finest--the reader will be hard-pressed not to rush ahead to see what happens next. Yet you''ll want to savor every word as Lynch traces Cowper''s tragic descent into madness, which is presented matter-of-factly so that the novel is not sentimental but austere, not precious but serious, and yet, remarkably, lively, sensuous, and blackly comic.

Does the DTI exist to serve British industry - or to conspire against it? Do the banks put their own interests above those of thier corporate customers? Why can civil servants ride rough-shod over taxpayers, without being called to account? Why did a minister of the Crown authorise her legal team to proclaim a man''s honesty in the High Court, then sign a report alleging his corruption? Why was the, arguably illegal, shredding of company documents glossed over by DTI inspectors? Were 58,000 shareholders cheated out of their investment? Corporate Hijack?. asks these questions and more. There are two stories here. ''King of Queens'', and ''The Unfinished Infamy''. The first tells of a teenager who ran away to sea, and later fought in Korea with the ''Glorious Glosters'' before launching two ''household name'' companies. Until now only the limited scope of the media, sometimes deftly handled by Civil Service spin doctors, has been able to tell this story. Now it is John Bairstow''s turn! Every British businessman/woman should read it, and heed it.
