Originally published in 1985. This is a fascinating account of the life cycle of a minor literary genre, the boys’ school story. It discusses early nineteenth-century precursors of the school story – didactic works with such revealing titles as The Parents’ Assistant – and goes on to examine in detail the two major examples of the genre - Hughes’s Tom Brown’s School Days and Farrar’s Eric. The slow development of the genre during the 1860s and 1870s is traced, and its institutionalisation by Talbot Baines Reed in, for example, The Fifth Form at St Dominic’s, is described. Many similar works were subsequently published for adults and adolescents, and the author shows how they differ from the originals in being critical in tone and written to a formula in plot and style. This development is discussed in relation to the changing social structure of Britain up to 1945, by which time to life of the genre was almost ended.

Sins of Darkness begins the exploits of Dr. Abigail Soloman, a Soledad Prison psychiatrist who puts her life and her reputation on the line to prove that convicted killer, Sirhan Sirhan, is a Manchurian Candidate assassin. What if Robert F. Kennedy is assassinated by a fledgling group of extremists who hypno-program Sirhan Bishara Sirhan? This novel, the first in a series of Abigal Soloman Mysteries, shows how recent evidence discovered in Las Vegas in 1996 plunges fifty-five-year-old prison psychiatrist Soloman into a brainwashing and programming conspiracy group that has grown much larger than the one that killed Kennedy in the 1960s.

In 1968, the murder of Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy by Palestinian-American Sirhan B. Sirhan shocked the world. A swift trial led to Sirhan's conviction for murder, and was hailed as a triumph for American justice. But was everything really as straightforward as it seemed? Dr. Abigail Solomon, a 55-year-old Jewish prison psychiatrist, is plunged into a murderous conspiracy when she begins to examine Sirhan and discovers to her horror that he is the victim of a brainwashing group called The Lord's Avengers. But, as she unravels the mystery surrounding Kennedy's murder, she begins to question whether she has also fallen victim to mind control. Who is behind this sinister group, and why are they determined to wreak havoc around the world? The result of extensive research, interviews and newly discovered evidence, Sins of Darkness is a conspiracy thriller about the sinister art of mind control and how it might have been applied to manipulate the events surrounding the murder of RFK.
