Born of a preoccupation with saints and sinners, The Evil That Men Do is Brian Masters' investigation into the nature of good and evil, and the different ways in which they can be manifested. It examines the fundamental questions of why we are as we are: why we are good, why we care for one another, why we can be altruistic and kind as well as selfish and cruel. According to science, we are prisoners of our genetic inheritance. Are our impulses therefore to some extent inescapable, compelling us to behave in a certain manner, irrespective of the guidelines imposed by instinct or civilization? Or can we determine our individual patterns of behaviour? Do we really have a choice? Using a diverse multitude of examples, from St. Francis of Assisi, Audrey Hepburn, Bruce Chatwin and Bob Geldof to the Marquis de Sade, Adolf Hitler and Peter Sutcliffe, from the Spanish Inquisition to Nazi Germany to the Vietnam War, Brian Masters examines this age-old yet intensely contemporary subject. At a time when civilization seems on the verge of meltdown, he has produced an incisive, thoughtful and provocative meditation on a fundamental human question.

One of the New York Times Book Review's Top Ten Best Crime Novels of 2020 "[McMahon] tells his story with flair."--New York Times Book Review The author of The Good Detective delivers a gripping and atmospheric new novel in which a cop takes on a harrowing case and confronts old personal demons. What if the one good thing you did in your life doomed you to die? A hard-nosed real estate baron is dead, and detectives P.T. Marsh and Remy Morgan learn there's a long list of suspects. Mason Falls, Georgia, may be a small town, but Ennis Fultz had filled it with professional rivals, angry neighbors, and a wronged ex-wife. And when Marsh realizes that this potential murder might be the least of his troubles, he begins to see what happens when ordinary people become capable of evil. As Marsh and Morgan dig into the case, it becomes clear that Fultz's death was not an isolated case of revenge. It may be part of a dark web of crimes connected to an accident that up-ended Marsh's life a couple years earlier--and that now threatens the life of a young child. Marsh veers dangerously off track as his search for clues becomes personal..and brings him to a place where a man's good deeds turn out to be more dangerous than his worst crimes.

Agnès Humbert was an art historian in Paris during the German occupation in 1940. Stirred to action by the atrocities she witnessed, she joined forces with several colleagues to form an organized resistance-very likely the first such group to fight back against the occupation. (In fact, their newsletter, Résistance, gave the French Resistance its name.) In the throes of their struggle for freedom, the members of Humbert's group were betrayed to the Gestapo; Humbert herself was imprisoned. I n immediate, electrifying detail, Humbert describes her resistance against the Nazis, her time in prison, and the horrors she endured in a string of German labor camps, always retaining-in spite of everything-hope for herself, for her friends, and for humanity. Originally published in France in 1946, the book is now translated into English for the first time.
Robert Gleason’s riveting terrorism thriller, The Evil That Men Do, “isn’t inspired by the headlines, it is the headlines” (New York Times bestselling author Steve Berry). Income inequality and the offshore hoarding of illicit black funds have reached such extremes that the earth’s democracies are in peril. The oligarchs are taking over. People worldwide, however, are rising up, and they demand the UN seize and redistribute all that illegal filthy lucre. A Russian strongman, the American president, and the Saudi Ambassador to the US will do anything to stop and destroy this global expropriation moment—even if it means nuking the UN. Only three people can stop them: the crusading, muckraking, investigative journalist Jules Meredith; ex-CIA agent Elena Moreno; and her boyfriend, the ex-Special Forces Operative turned cybersecurity billionaire, John C. Jameson. If these three fail, the nuclear fireballs will blaze, democracies around the world will die, the UN will burn, and the Age of the Great Global Oligarchs will begin.
The Evil That White Men Do is both a satiric and sympathetic take of the current turmoil about Donald Trump and race relations in the United States. It is a novel in the tradition of Kingsley Amis, Evelyn Waugh, J. P. Dunleavy and my own Murder in the Museum of Man, which the New Yorker called "An adroit, hilarious send-up." Trump's election devastates Claire Fitzmorgan, who teaches English literature at Byles, a small college in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Not only has political correctness run amok at Byles, but Claire, ironically enough, has been passed over for tenure in favor of a man. This puts her at odds with the department head, the aging, acerbic, old-school Giles Newcombe. Coming in the aftermath of these professional set-backs, Hillary Clinton's defeat all but unhinges Claire. She not only spent time, money, and passion on the campaign, but she had staked much of her identity as a woman on the election. The triumph of Donald Trump deepens her angst. For Claire, the man personifies all that is wrong about white male America. Her chagrin and disappointment give way to a depression that leads to a bad case of what some choose to call Trump derangement disorder. She can scarcely abide hearing that name much less seeing that face on every available screen. In her misery, she associates Trump with Fergal O'Fallon, her alcoholic, outspoken, and contrarian father-in-law. Worse, she conflates Fergal with her techie husband Donal and their precocious, six-year-old son Finn. They come to form a triptych of white maleness that twists her heart and mind. Increasingly angry, confused, and vulnerable, she leaves Donal and Finn to go with her best friend, the wealthy Mims Pappas, to Eagle Nest Farm, a rural retreat in the northern Berkshires of Massachusetts. There, for a hefty sum and in decidedly primitive conditions, they join fifty or so like-minded souls, many of them women, seeking to to be cured of whiteness. In the temper of the times, whiteness, specifically white male whiteness, is viewed by many as a rapidly emerging social pathology. At Eagle Nest Farm, as part of the cure, the members experience life as it was lived before the advent of the white man. There they also imbibe the wisdom of the charismatic Nogumi, a trans-racial, trans-cultural, trans-gender holy woman. To some it would appear as an elaborate scam, one not without its adventures, its dangers, and its inadvertent dark humor. Claire, a devotee of Virginia Woolf, keeps a journal in which she comments on Nogumi's frequent homilies to the assembled members and records her own mixed feelings. So much of what Nogumi says about white male whiteness and the ills of the modern world initially make sense to her. Then doubts creep in. At the same time her husband Donal begs and threatens in letters (no phones are allowed) in an attempt to have her return home. His efforts include a visit to the farm with Finn, a visit that does not go well.She is conflicted and decides after several weeks that she wants to return to her old life, despite the ever looming Trump. But in the meanwhile, the rich and pampered Mims, to whom Claire is devoted, has joined the Paleo Realm. This is an experiment in Stone Age living located in the nearby woods. Here, in conditions so primordial that even language is forbidden, its denizens live off the land in a haphazard sort of way. Staffed by three young, studly men, the Paleo Realm is in reality little more than a male brothel serving the needs of those members in need of servicing. Once there, Mims, hooks up with one of the young men and doesn't want to leave. She has found her real self in being, as she puts it, a fake among fakes. Claire hesitates, torn between loyalty to her friend and wanting to return to her real world. At which point things fall apart as in a nightmare within a nightmare.
