http://www.amazon.co.uk/Notting-Hill-Actually-ebook/dp/B00EPJ9684/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1380137763&sr=1-1&keywords=notting+hill

Rachel Johnson is one of Britain 's best-loved journalists.

Now, many of her finest articles are gathered in one place for the first time - together with an exclusive essay on the fall and rise of the area she is most closely associated with, London's Notting Hill.

From Hugh Grant to the housing bubble, families to fro-yo, Rachel realises that the devil is in the detail and that there are reasons to be cheerful even during the economic gloom.

In her fearless prose, Rachel tackles what not to wear, pet-hates, social media pests, holidaying in Syria and life as a me-columnist. With a quick wit and an eye for satire, she cuts to the hilarious truth of life in modern Britain.

Whether it be battling yummy mummies at a sport's day or considering whether housework really is the new sex, Rachel is neither tired of London, nor of life.

Rachel's columns have kept readers laughing for years - now the cream of the crop is brought together in this lively and irreverent read.

Rachel Johnson has been widely praised for her writing...

`A wicked social comedy of manners' Tatler
`Johnson is a frantically funny writer' The Scotsman
'Shiveringly Brilliant' Jilly Cooper

The Perfects: They have come to save the world, but not the people - 326 pages
The Perfects have existed for hundreds of years underground, and now they have surfaced to wage war against the superpowers, to save their mother, Earth, from total destruction.
The leaders in the West plan to initiate a nuclear attack on Afghanistan, so that they may claim the mineral wealth beneath the land worth one-trillion dollars. But, as the powers build their cold war shelters with the means to survive decades, the East prepare a counter attack; a move that could destroy the population of the planet.
The Perfects have been sent to save the world, but not the people. As they prepare their message to the powers who fight their cause, they connect to the pure of heart; ordinary people they call the Kudos.
Seventeen-year old Tom Stone is Kudos. He is prepared to do anything to get that one picture of the elusive creatures, even if it means risking his own life. When Tom meets undercover detective, Jay Pullman, together they meet the Perfects for the first time in a darkened New York alley. There begins a friendship that cannot be broken, not even by the fate of the planet.
Across the Atlantic, in Wiltshire, England, Mia Lake has an encounter with the Perfects when they destroy a man of no consequence. Afterwards she makes it her goal to go permanently underground, to live with them forever. If they will let her!
After a race of wits and solidarity, the Kudos find the lost subterranean world of Caer Sidi, where they are protected by the Perfects.
Finally as the powers destroy themselves with their arsenal of nuclear weapons, taking with them the voices and the will of the ordinary man, the only ones who survive are the people who live underground, where after the fallout, they will start again, as if was the beginning of time.

To the Grave: A Genealogical Crime - 262 pages
To the Grave follows American genealogist, Jefferson Tayte, as he uncovers the disturbing consequences of a seemingly innocuous act in 1944 that was intended to keep a family together, but which ultimately tore it apart. His research exposes hidden pasts and the desperate measures some people will take to keep a secret.
Sitting in a hotel room at gunpoint, facing an impossible decision, Tayte is forced to wonder how his latest assignment had come to this. Five days earlier, after a child's suitcase arrives unexpectedly at his client's home in Washington
DC, Tayte embarks upon a journey that takes him back to England as he tries to unravel the story of Mena Lasseter - a girl whose life has become a family mystery.
Hoping to reunite his client with the birth mother she never knew she had, having no idea that she'd been adopted, Tayte's research draws him back to wartime Leicestershire and the arrival of the US 82nd Airborne, which irrevocably changes the course of Mena's life. But as Tayte tries to find out what became of her and why she was separated from her suitcase all those years ago, he soon finds that he is not the only one looking for her. Someone else is determined to get to Mena first and it quickly becomes apparent that their motive is a secret worth killing for.[/STRIKE]

The Proteus Cure - 405 pages
In medical ethics, the line between right and wrong is often blurred. Who is to decide what is for the good of humanity?
Changing the world. One person at a time…
That is the mission statement of Tethys Hospital, run by Dr. Bill Gilchrist and his deformed sister, Abra. VG723, their revolutionary stem-cell-based therapy, appears to be capable of doing just that for the cancer patients who
come to Tethys. VG723 is often their last hope. But if they match the protocol, they're virtually guaranteed a cure.
Dr. Sheila Takamura, a young, dedicated oncologist, is proud to be involved in the clinical trials. Once the FDA approves it for widespread use, VG723 will revolutionize cancer therapy. That is why she's alarmed when former patients return with bizarre syndromes. Yes, they're cancer free, but they're experiencing dramatic changes in their hair and skin and general appearance. When she investigates a possible link to the protocol, those patients start dying. As the body count grows, Sheila finds her own life in danger. She comes to suspect there might be a literal meaning behind the Tethys motto – but can
she learn the truth in time to save herself and millions of others?[/STRIKE]

White Goods - 636 pages
Set in the south of England at the beginning of the 1980’s, White Goods is a novel about loss and the search for the truth, told through the eyes of a deceptive twelve-year-old boy.
Scot Buckley is a complex young man, living under the shadow of absence: his mother encounters a horrific death at the start of the book. Further, he is haunted by the elusive existence of a relative simply known as ‘Jackie’ – whose very being the rest of his family are determined to keep secret.
White Goods opens very dramatically: a child is pushed into the icy, open mouth of a chest freezer and the lid is slammed shut. His identity and fate are central to the story, but remain a mystery until the end.
Aside from the imprisoning chest freezer, other domestic goods participate in the drama. Scot recalls that his mother’s death is the result of a gory accident with a dishwasher. However, all is not as it initially seems and, each time Scot recalls her death, the scene and the actual cause are different…[/STRIKE]

One Way - 462 pages
NYPD Detective Sam Archer is on his way home on a Sunday afternoon in New York City. He’s been out of the field for over three months due to a broken ankle and a nasty case of pneumonia, but has just been given the all clear to get back out there again, starting tomorrow. Archer takes a seat on a bench in the Upper West Side, enjoying a cold drink and soaking up the last remaining sun of the day. Then he sees something totally unexpected.
Two men are crossing the street in front of him, heading quickly towards a group climbing into a car. Both men are armed with pistols. And all hell breaks loose.
Shouting a warning and racing to their aid, a ferocious gunfight erupts, shattering the peaceful afternoon. Archer and the group are forced to flee uptown in the strangers’ vehicle, their ambushers giving chase. With their tyres blown out and the car crashing, the group have no choice but to take cover in a
Harlem tenement block, situated in one of the most dangerous areas in the city.
Their ambushers are close on their heels and seal off the building, pinning down the NYPD as they start to arrive.
Archer and the others are trapped in the building with their attackers.
Hiding out with the group from the car in an apartment upstairs, Archer starts to piece together the situation. The people he’s with are US Marshals, protecting a witness, a seven year old girl. Clearly, someone out there is desperate to kill her.
But as they barricade themselves in and wait for back-up, none of them realise the full extent of the danger they are in.
Others are on their way to the building, ruthless and trained killers who won’t leave until the girl is dead. As the scores of NYPD and Marshals on the street desperately try to figure out how they can get to their people inside, Archer and the Marshals must fight to stay alive against increasingly hopeless
odds, running out of ammunition, chances and time.
Unarmed and totally unprepared, Archer is thrown back into the fray; either kill or be killed. As they encounter the enemy, take casualties and Archer learns who this child witness really is, two things become abundantly clear. There’s only one way in or out of the building.[/STRIKE]

I saw Overtime by Jack Hayes free on Kindle today. Looks like a great thriller - perfect for Lee Child fans.

The American football team, the 'Black Ears', has a problem - not on the pitch but in the press.

Bad stories are being spread about them.

Simon Ritter is hired to clean up its image. His job is to be the first man on the scene - any potential news story has to reach him before the press, so he can cover up and neutralise any scandal.

As soon as he starts work the club’s deputy grounds-keeper asks for a meeting. But when Ritter arrives he finds the man shot dead.

As he starts investigating the murder, he finds out a Russian billionaire called Janokovic has just bought the club.

But why? And what is the true source of his fabulous wealth?

As Ritter starts to uncovers the truth he finds not only his reputation, but his life, is on the line.

And very soon it will be game on or game over for Ritter.

Jack Hayes is an author and journalist living in London. His books include the best-selling 'Blood Red Sea' and 'Dead Man Rising'.
