Michael Cavanagh spent half his childhood fatherless and all of it with a mother who was a whore. No wonder insecurity is one of his problems, Or that fear of sex is another. At 35 he has one failed marriage and a teenage daughter he hasn't seen since she was 4 years old.He has a cabinetmaking business in Suffolk village, and when Meredith Lomond's bicycle punctures outside his workshop, it seems an unlikely catalyst for a metamorphosis in Michael's life. Yet soon afterwards, Michael finds himself rushing across Brittany to rescue Meredith's daughter, Daisy, from abusive husband, Jean-Paul. He smuggles Daisy and her 4 year-old son to England aboard a small yacht.Storms and tidal races provide a lively, even life-threatening, passage but when they reach England, the maritime elements seem mild in comparison to what awaits them on land. There is a secret between Daisy and her mother from which Michael is excluded. He finds that Jean-Paul has something at stake, too, that makes him infinitely more dangerous than a mere cuckolded husband.Learning to father Daisy's son makes Michael brood about his own estranged child, and after an unexpected encounter he is forced to confront his own childhood too. Michael must unravel his past and discover his inner strength to save the people he cares about. The consequences test his mental, moral and physical forces to their limits.

On the evening of November 8, 1923, the thirty-four-year-old Adolf Hitler stormed into a beer hall in Munich, fired his pistol in the air, and proclaimed a revolution. Seventeen hours later, all that remained of his bold move was a trail of destruction. Hitler was on the run from the police. His career seemed to be over.The Trial of Adolf Hitler tells the true story of the monumental criminal proceeding that followed when Hitler and nine other suspects were charged with high treason. Reporters from as far away as Argentina and Australia flocked to Munich for the sensational four-week spectacle. By its end, Hitler would transform the fiasco of the beer hall putsch into a stunning victory for the fledgling Nazi Party. It was this trial that thrust Hitler into the limelight, provided him with an unprecedented stage for his demagoguery, and set him on his improbable path to power.Based on trial transcripts, police files, and many other new sources, including some five hundred documents recently discovered from the Landsberg Prison record office, The Trial of Adolf Hitler is a gripping true story of crime and punishment-and a haunting failure of justice with catastrophic consequences.
