When United’s Busby Babes lost to reigning European Champions Real Madrid in the 1957 European Cup, the pair seemed certain to be rivals for years. Within a year however the Munich Air Disaster had ripped apart Manchester’s pride and joy.

In the years that followed Real did more than any other club to help United recover - agreeing to stage a series of friendly matches as Real completed their now legendary five European Cup victories in a row from the inception of the tournament.

Following the Mancunian side’s recovery, the clubs met once more as United’s battled through to the 1968 European Cup semi-final.

This a unique football tale of a friendship born of tragedy and a club’s quest for redemption.

Paul Foster is a social worker trying to make a difference. But what links him to an aristocratic Nazi sympathiser accused of harbouring a war criminal? And what has happened to his soldier boyfriend Jake over in Afghanistan?

In this, the first DCI Sara Hoyland mystery, the intrepid detective with a murky past enters a
long-forgotten world of political intrigue. Long-held grudges and several families' secrets re-surface further muddy the waters.

ONE MORE TIME

A NOVEL BY MICHAEL DILWORTH

"Have you ever had a brilliant new chapter of your life begin only for something surprising from your past to re-appear? I did."

Falling in love was never easy for Liam Kirk, until he met valerie Walters. Their relationship – if you could call it that – was strained, least of all because she was still the girlfriend of an old mate. This didn’t stop them embarking on an affair which ended rather abruptly.

Fast forward 13 years and Liam has just completed his first novel based on his relationship with val – without changing her name. This wouldn’t be such a problem if she hadn’t just gate-crashed liam’s life for a second time and was now reading his account of their relationship.

Will they have the happy ending liam wished for all those years ago? or will val get the better of him One More Time?
