A Story

Marion Leslie

"An illustrated history of human civilisation,&#160;All Of Us&#160;breezes through the millennia and celebrates our collective successes while also enumerating our many failures. Wars come and go, empires rise and fall, but our race&rsquo;s enduring achievement is, it seems, that we&rsquo;re still surviving and even thriving. Excellent educational reading.&rdquo; &mdash;James Lovegrove,&#160;Financial Times's 'Best Books of 2019: Picture Books'"Yvan Pommaux and Christophe Ylla-Somers's&#160;All of Us: A Young People's History of the World&#160;. . . is packed with information for young inquisitive minds. Beginning with 'vapor' turning into rain and the rain filling 'the hollows of the earth,' All of Us&#160;provides a highly illustrated account of the 'history of the world.' Told as a linear narrative, with events, actions and individuals highlighted throughout, children can read from front to back or dip in and out depending on their mood."&#160;&mdash;Shelf Awareness&ldquo;A perfectly balanced book showing how humans have made the world in which they live and ensuring that there is a balance of facts representing all countries and not favouring one over the other. Unique, clever and highly readable.&rdquo; &mdash;Armadillo

All of Us: A Young People's History of the World

Praise for Confessions of an Innocent Man"Best Mystery Books of 2019"&mdash;The Wall Street Journal&ldquo;Every person wrongfully convicted of a crime at some point dreams of getting revenge against the system. In Confessions of an Innocent Man, the dream comes true and in a spectacular way.&#160;As I zipped through the pages, I kept thinking, &lsquo;This book is too thin.&#160;I want more.&rsquo; &rdquo;&mdash;John Grisham, New York Times bestselling author of The Reckoning &ldquo;Mr. Dow [is] a born writer if ever there was one.&rdquo;&mdash;The Wall Street Journal&ldquo;Suppose you were arrested, tried, and sentenced to die for a murder you didn&rsquo;t commit, then vindicated and freed at the last possible minute. What would you do? Would you try to go back to the old life you&rsquo;d nearly lost? Or would you punish those who&rsquo;d stolen it from you? In&#160;Confessions of an Innocent Man, David R. Dow, who knows more about death row than any other person who&rsquo;s never lived there, puts you in the place of a victim of the system whose soul has been shriveled by rage, then invites you to take a look in the mirror. The result is a terrifying modern-day revenger&rsquo;s tale, one whose furious, irresistible momentum will sweep you up&mdash;and make you think.&rdquo;&mdash;Terry Teachout, drama critic for&#160;The Wall Street Journal&ldquo;An impressive fiction debut....The plot is a page-turner, and the addition of Dow&rsquo;s knowledge of the legal machinery of death and his nuanced characterization of his lead elevate this above similarly themed legal thrillers.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly (starred review)&#160;&ldquo;[Confessions of an Innocent Man] explores wrongful convictions, the death penalty and appeals process, life on death row, and exoneration. It&rsquo;s also about duplicity&mdash;the honest and hardworking man becoming a criminal only after a wrongful conviction; a legal system that seems too often to pit police, prosecutors, and judges against the truth&mdash;and features an ingenious, well-planned, and perfectly executed revenge. This fast-paced legal thriller powerfully captures themes of love, surrender, despair, and vengeance. It will appeal to fans of Phillip Margolin and George Pelecanos, and pair nicely with Anthony Ray Hinton&rsquo;s memoir The Sun Does Shine.&rdquo;&mdash;Library Journal&#160;(starred review)&ldquo;A debut novel that's a page-turner with a message....[Dow&rsquo;s] criminal justice work is a clear influence on this novel, and his passion bleeds through on every page. The claustrophobic nature of prisons, the routine cruelty, the anonymous suffering, the decrepit conditions&mdash;they all come through in straightforward, well-written prose. . . . A solidly suspenseful novel.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews&ldquo;This thought-provoking debut...[an] absorbing tale of misfortune takes readers inside the mind of a good man who&rsquo;s desperate to prove his innocence as well as inside the world of a maximum-security prison and the horror that is death row. . . . The questions of who gets justice and why court procedure seems to take such precedence over individual lives will stay with readers after the satisfying ending to this surprising read.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist&ldquo;A powerful, thought-provoking debut thriller that&rsquo;s not to be missed...Taking readers inside [his protagonist]&#160;Rafael mindset, Dow projects his anguish and pain, prompting an emotional response from readers who, with every page, will find themselves holding their breath as he sets out to right wrongs in his own way, cheering him on as he goes. The characters are well-developed, the pacing is fast, and the story is absolutely stunning. Confessions of an Innocent Man is a red-hot debut that falls somewhere between a work of psychological suspense and a legal thriller, and should attract fans of both.&rdquo;&mdash;The Real Book Spy on Crime Reads
