| CHAMELEON [Richard Hains] Jon Phillips is head bond trader at one of Wall Street’s largest investment banks and lives the American dream in the heart of New York’s decadent banking community. But, after years of selfishness and extravagance, he plans his exit through an unprecedented and ultimately fraudulent deal in the US government bond market. A high-ranking colleague, who sits on the bank’s main board, has teamed up with a Russian financier in order to provide Jon with one of the key elements vital to the success of his ingenious scheme. The deal goes spectacularly wrong and Jon’s world collapses. As the Russians desperately attempt to recover their lost millions, Jon is thrown into a deadly game of cat and mouse. From the seedy night-spots of downtown NYC to the plush yacht clubs of the Hamptons, pastoral aristocratic England, and Southern Australia’s endless beaches, past lovers, new menaces, and numerous apparently accidental deaths line his trail. Jon’s survival now depends on putting the past behind him and becoming a calculated predator instead of the vulnerable prey.

| FUNNY BUSINESS : Moguls, Mobsters, Megastars & the Mad, Mad World of the Ad Game [Allen Rosenshine] You don’t have to be in advertising (or even in business) to love these laugh-out-loud stories, a result of Allen Rosenshine's nearly 45 years in advertising. The moguls he’s known -- many of America’s most recognisable captains of industry -- appear in scenes uncustomary to any corporate boardroom. The mobsters he’s dealt with come off as characters far more comic than threatening. The megastars he’s met, from presidents to pop artists to professional athletes, are captured here as no camera has ever seen them. When these crowds mixed with the madcap world of Madison Avenue, it was never business 'as usual'. 'Funny Business' is funny, it’s about business, but more than that, it’s about being human. It’s about all of us -- the only creatures on earth that can really laugh, most meaningfully at ourselves. { 277pp, 145x240mm, July 2006; HB, £15.50, 082530539X:9780825305399 , Midpoint Trade Books (Beaufort Books) } |

| IF I DID IT : Confessions of the Killer [Goldman Family] In 1994, Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson were brutally murdered at her home in Brentwood, California. O.J. Simpson was tried for the crime in a case that captured the attention of the American people, but was ultimately acquitted of criminal charges. The victims' families brought a civil case against Simpson, which found him liable for wilfully and wrongfully causing the deaths of Ron and Nicole committing battery with malice and oppression. In 2006, HarperCollins announced the publication of a book in which O.J. Simpson told how he hypothetically would have committed the murders. In response to public outrage that Simpson stood to profit from these crimes, HarperCollins cancelled the book. A Florida bankruptcy court awarded the rights to the Goldmans in August 2007 to satisfy the civil judgement in part. The Goldman family views the book as his confession, and has worked hard to ensure that the public will read this book and learn the truth. This is O.J. Simpson's original manuscript, approved by him, with up to 14,000 words of additional key commentary. { 254pp, 155x230mm, September 2008; PB, £9.99, 0825305934:9780825305931 , Midpoint Trade Books (Beaufort Books) } |
| IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT THE MONEY : Memoirs of a Private Banker [Hans J Baer] In his memoir, Hans J Baer reveals the drive and emotions behind one of the most distinguished careers in Swiss banking in the twentieth century.

As the title suggests, more than even his prominent career, his devotion to music, art, and philanthropy have been central to Baer's life.

Baer shares his intriguing story with humour and humility. { 528pp, 155x235mm, April 2008; HB, £18.50, 0825305470:9780825305474 , Midpoint Trade Books (Beaufort Books) } |
| KNOCK AT THE DOOR : A Journey Through the Darkness of the Armenian Genocide [Margaret Ajemian Ahnert] In 1915, Armenian Christians in Turkey were forced to convert to Islam, barred from speaking their language, and often driven out of their homes as the Turkish army embarked on a widespread campaign of intimidation and murder. In this riveting book, Margaret Ajemian Ahnert relates her mother Ester's terrifying experiences as a young woman during this period of hatred and brutality. At age 15, Ester was separated from her foster family during a forced march away from her birth town of Amasia.

Eventually she escaped and made her way to America. Ahnert's compelling account of her mother's suffering is framed by an intimate portrait of her relationship with her 98-year-old mother. Ester's inspiring stories, told lovingly by her daughter, will give you a window into the harrowing struggle of Armenians during a terrible period in human history. { 210pp, 155x230mm, April 2007; HB, £15.50, 0825305128:9780825305122 , Midpoint Trade Books (Beaufort Books) } |

| TREE OF LIFE : A Book of Wisdom for Men [Eric Kampmann] Whether it is a crisis or some other event that prompts a desire in you to come to know God, this book is designed a starting place. The “Tree of Life” is an introduction to God's own word about life... (It) includes three hundred and sixty-six individual passages- one for every day of the calendar year- selected from six books in the Old Testament: Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, and Lamentations... Most of the verses are over three thousand years old, yet each passage deals with issues that touch not only the lives of men today, but also generations and generations of men who have come before. For any man willing to listen, each verse will be startlingly fresh, relevant and true... The “Tree of Life” was created as a way to share life-changing Biblical truths with men who may not be trained in Biblical scholarship or may not even have a working knowledge of the Old or New Testament. (It is) offered to (the reader) as a useful, powerful, and portable resource that can be used in all circumstances, not just during one of life's many emergencies. { 408pp, 130x210mm, January 2003; HB, £9.50, 0825305314:9780825305313 , Midpoint Trade Books (Beaufort Books) } |
