A priest’s death leads to sinister goings on in an old country pub…To understand the strange goings on at The Pale Horse Inn, Mark Easterbrook knew he had to begin at the beginning. But where exactly was the beginning?Was it the savage blow to the back of Father Gorman’s head? Or was it when the priest’s assailant searched him so roughly he tore the clergyman’s cassock? Or could it have been the priest’s visit, just minutes before, to a woman on her death bed?Or was there a deeper significance to the violent squabble which Mark Easterbrook had himself witnessed earlier?Wherever the beginning lies, Mark and his sidekick, Ginger Corrigan, may soon have cause to wish they’d never found it…

The American poet John Shade is dead; murdered. His last poem, Pale Fire, is put into a book, together with a preface, a lengthy commentary and notes by Shade's editor, Charles Kinbote. Known on campus as the 'Great Beaver', Kinbote is haughty, inquisitive, intolerant, but is he also mad, bad - and even dangerous? As his wildly eccentric annotations slide into the personal and the fantastical, Kinbote reveals perhaps more than he should. Nabokov's darkly witty, richly inventive masterwork is a suspenseful whodunit, a story of one-upmanship and dubious penmanship, and a glorious literary conundrum.

Vi lever i en värld där vi är vana vid vackra ord, som demokrati och mänskliga rättigheter. Och vi har lärt oss att styrande politiker i de flesta stater gärna vill ge intryck av de står för sådana principer.
Men verkligheten är alltför ofta helt annorlunda.
Viktiga politiska beslut fattas bakom stängda dörrar. Krig startas med lögner. Medborgare som avslöjar känsliga sanningar straffas brutalt – vare sig straffet ryms i lagböckerna eller ej.
Bildligt talat – och vid enstaka tillfällen bokstavligt – sätts huvuden upp på pålar för att inge respekt för de styrande.
I sin nya bok tar Gunnar Wall upp hur metoder vi brukar förknippa med diktaturer i stigande utsträckning används av regeringar som vi är vana att betrakta som demokratiska. Ofta sker det genom hemliga statliga eller halvstatliga organ som verkar i det fördolda – och vid behov med våldsamma metoder.
Och syftet? Ytterst handlar det om att kontrollera medborgarna så att de sluter upp bakom den rådande makten.
Författaren diskuterar vad som händer med ett samhälle när desinformation och skrämseltaktik tar över, bland annat med fokus på USA som ju brukar kallas världens största demokrati. Han tittar på hotelserna, lögnerna och de hatiska påståendena som bar fram Donald Trump – och jämför med vad som förekommit under tidigare amerikanska presidenter.
I avsnittet om Sverige går Gunnar Wall än en gång tillbaka till Palmemordet – och kommer med skakande nya avslöjanden!

The Unexpected Guest begins on a foggy night at a lonely country house, where a woman with a gun in her hand is quietly surveying the dead body of her husband. It looks like a straightforward case of murder. Or is it? As the ghosts of an old wrong begin to emerge from the past, the case begins to look anything but straightforward, and it is up to Sergeant Cadwallader and Inspector Thomas to discover the unexpected truth... In The Pale Horse, a dying woman gasps out her bizarre story to Catholic priest Father Gorman - but no sooner has he written it down than he is violently killed.

On the trail of these names Inspector Lejeune, together with academic Mark Easterbrooke and his crime writer friend Ariadne Oliver, are led inexorably to The Pale Horse Inn, in the village of Much Deeping. The three women who live there - a psychic, a medium and a witch - all seem to have some link to Father Gorman’s death. And each of them has their own secrets... These two Agatha Christie stories, each with a twist in the tale, are dramatised with full casts including Siôn Probert and Stephanie Cole.2 CDs. 2 hrs.

Late on a spring night in 1920, five boys cross the Yorkshire dales to the ruins of Fountains Abbey, intent on raising the Devil. Instead, they stumble over the Devil himself, sitting there watching them. Terrified, they run for their lives, leaving behind a book on alchemy stolen from their schoolmaster. The next morning, a body is discovered in the cloisters of the abbey - a man swathed in a hooded cloak and wearing a gas mask. There are no clues other than the left-behind book. In an effort to uncover the dead man's identity, one of the police constables, who fancies himself a portraitist, sketches a likeness to send to other police stations. It turns out there's a strong chance the man worked on poisoned gases for the British government after the Germans had used them at Ypres during the late war.Scotland Yard dispatches Inspector Rutledge to confirm the ID and to find out why the man died in such mysterious circumstances. Rutledge begins his investigation, dealing with villagers who clearly have something to hide and trying to decipher if the death links back to the Great War. And what does the huge chalk sculpture of a pale horse of the Apocalypse have to do with the crime?
