Taken from the new book of the same name, these are Tony Benn's diaries from 1991 - 2001, read by Tony Benn. They encompass the Gulf War, the rise of New Labour, and the global consequences of the attack on the World Trade Center in September 2001. These political observations are entwined with a moving personal account of family life to produce a unique view of the contemporary world from a senior Labour figure.
In the year 1780, Harriet Westerman, the willful mistress of a country manor in Sussex, finds a dead man on her grounds with a ring bearing the crest of Thornleigh Hall in his pocket. Not one to be bound by convention or to shy away from adventure, she recruits a reclusive local anatomist named Gabriel Crowther to help her find the murderer, and historical suspense's newest investigative duo is born.
