THE HOUSE BY THE LAKE

BLOOD ON THE PAGE

June 2006: Allan Chappelow, an award-winning photographer and biographer, was found battered to death at his house in Hampstead. The man eventually convicted of his murder was a Chinese dissident named Wang Yam; Thomas Harding has spent the past two years investigating the case, and has unearthed shocking new material on the killing.

HANNS AND RUDOLF

In the aftermath of the Second World War, the British War Crimes Investigation Team is assembled to hunt down the Nazi officials responsible for the greatest atrocities the world has ever seen. Lieutenant Hanns Alexander is one of the lead investigators, Rudolf Höss his most elusive target.

In the early 1800s, Lehmann Gluckstein and his family escaped Eastern Europe and made their way to London’s East End.

It was an ascent from rags to riches in the face of many obstacles: poverty, hatred and anti-Semitism stood between this poor immigrant family and the British Dream.
