    A classic story of survival and human endurance, told with humor, honesty, and heart, it became a worldwide best-seller and the Academy Award-winning blockbuster film of the same name. In 1970 Billy Hayes was an English major who left college in search of adventures to write about, like his hero Jack London. He had a rude awakening when he was arrested at the airport in Istanbul trying to board a plane while carrying four pounds of hashish, and given a life sentence. After five brutal years, relentless efforts by his family to gain his release, and endless escape plotting, Hayes finally took matters into his own hands. On a dark night, in a wailing storm he began a desperate and daring escape to freedom... This is the astounding journey, told in Billy Hayes's own words, of those five years of living hell and of the harrowing ordeal of his time on the run.

    All around him the world was drinking, fighting and thieving. To survive, he too had to fight and steal… Kids’ gangs led to trouble with the police. Approved schools led to Borstal, and Jimmy was on his way to a career in crime.By his twenties he was a hardened villain, sleeping with prostitutes, running shebeens and money-lending rackets. Then they nailed him for murder. The sentence was life – the brutal, degrading eternity of a broken spirit in the prisons of Peterhead and Inverness. Thankfully, Jimmy was able to turn his life around inside the prison walls and eventually released on parole.A Sense of Freedom is a searing indictment of a society that uses prison bars and brutality to destroy a man's humanity and at the same time an outstanding testament to one man's ability to survive, to find a new life, a new creativity, and a new alternative.

    Trott scored the biggest hit at Lords [sic] by driving the ball over the pavilion. The year was 1899 and saw the birth of A.J. Raffles, Esq., that most gentlemanly thief in E.W. Hornung's 'The Amateur Cracksman'.Working from Philip Mackie's witty and evocative television scripts, David Fletcher has been able to recreate vividly the character and crimes of Raffles. Assisted by the faithful and honest 'Bunny' Manders, Raffles maintains them in the style to which they are accustomed while being feted by the British public for his exploits on the cricket field; exploits which ensure invitations to the wealthiest houses in the land.Titled ladies consequently relieved of their exquisite jewels, the property of the nation vanishes from the British Museum and no bank strong room is secure. Suave and elegant, the darling of society, Raffles flourishes in his criminal activities among which the more impossible challenges attract him most.David Fletcher has accurately and delightfully captured the world of A.J. Raffles and will bring great pleasure to the countless admirers of the most famous 'amateur cracksman'.
