THE GAME SHOW

John Bartlett's showstopper novel.

A tv company has commissioned a new type of game show and the producers are expecting a landmark spectacle with high ratings. The show plays to the current social craze for betting and gambling and is a catalyst for revealing the greed, ambitions and true natures of the contestants. Are they what they seem? Is the show viable? Is the traditional quiz type game show under threat? Other tv networks are watching its progress with interest. Can a game show which is a potentially dangerous concoction of contestant emotions, personalities and experiences make or break a tv network?

CAFÉ EL PARADISO

John Bartlett's thrilling novel.

Tucked away in a quiet suburb of West London, Café El Paradiso feels like the heart of the neighbourhood. Customers crave for its home-from-home conforts and café culture. Behind the warm chatter though and scent of fresh coffee, the café hides a darker secret: owner Pepe's brother-in-law, Ricky, uses the place as cover for a smuggling network that reaches far beyond London. When an undercover CIA agent - masquerading as a struggling American writer - slips into this world, he finds that the shipments of Guatemalan tea are more dangerous than they appear. As tensions rise customers are drawn into an unforeseen web of secrets, threatening the very community that made El Paradiso feel like home.

ENGLISH DECORATIVE CERAMICS

This is the forerunner to British Ceramic Art. It was issued in 1989 priced 17.95 GBP and was limited to 5000 copies. It sold out very quickly and has since become a collector's item with copies changing hands considerably in excess of the original price. This, in spite of the material having been augmented and revised in British Ceramic Art.
