All serious politicians are supposed to possess a hinterland, but not all do. Chris Mullin was one who did. By the time he entered parliament he had reported from the wars in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia and tracked down the survivors of the CIA operation in Tibet. He was the author of three novels, including the classic A Very British Coup. His successful campaign to free the innocent people convicted of the Birmingham bombings was described as 'one of the greatest feats ever achieved by an investigative reporter'. \n\nElected to parliament, aged 39, he quickly established himself as a fearless inquisitor before going on to become a minister in three departments. His three volumes of diaries have been widely acclaimed as the best account of the Blair years and the rise and fall New Labour. He left parliament in 2010 ('better to go while people are still asking why rather than when'). These are his memoirs.

Set in the universe of Rory Thorne, this new sci-fi mystery follows an unlikely duo who must discover the motive behind an unusual murder. \n\nTHE TEMPLAR: When Lieutenant Iari hears screams in the night, she expects to interrupt a robbery or break up a fight. Instead she discovers a murder with an impossible suspect: a riev, one of the battle-mecha decommissioned after the end of the last conflict, repurposed for manual labor. Riev don't kill people. And yet, clearly, one has. Iari sets out to find it.\n\nTHE SPY: Officially, Gaer is an ambassador from the vakari. Unofficially, he's also a spy, sending information back to his government, unfiltered by diplomatic channels. Unlike Iari, Gaer isn't so sure the riev's behavior is just a malfunction, since the riev were created using an unstable mixture of alchemy and arithmancy.\n\nAs Gaer and Iari search for the truth, they discover that the murderous riev is just a weapon in the hands of a wielder with wider ambitions than homicide--including releasing horrors not seen since the war, that make a rampaging riev seem insignificant...

Riccardo Berio sta scontando un ergastolo per l'omicidio brutale degli zii, con cui divideva una villetta bifamiliare nell'hinterland milanese. All'epoca dei fatti, la movimentata vita sessuale delle due anziane vittime rendeva per contrasto ancora più ridicola e compromettente l'esistenza da fantasma di Riccardo, un quarantenne studente fuoricorso dalle molte passioni intellettuali, ma inabile al lavoro e ai rapporti umani, e in grado di mantenersi solo grazie all'eredità lasciatagli dal padre. Il movente del duplice omicidio del \"mostro dell'hinterland\", come subito lo ribattezzano i media, viene individuato nella frustrazione e nell'invidia per la felicità sfacciata di una coppia di pensionati ben più vitali e socialmente inseriti di lui. Anni dopo la conclusione del processo, quando l'intera vicenda è ormai sprofondata nell'oblio, la casa dove Riccardo è cresciuto viene messa all'asta. Perso così anche l'ultimo pezzo della propria identità, sente che è arrivato il momento di raccontare come sono andate davvero le cose, e al chiuso della sua cella comincia a scrivere. Lo fa col tono caustico e l'umorismo nerissimo di chi non ha mai sperato di salvarsi, perché fin dall'inizio sapeva di essere condannato.
