A blocked runway, a suicide, picketing, an aerial stowaway, pregnancy, smuggling, mass demonstrations and a psychotic with a home-made bomb turn the lives of all those in the airport upside down, as they unknowingly wait for a shocking climax.

The Deceiver
Sam McCready is The Deceiver, one of the Secret Intelligence Service's most unorthodox and most valued operatives, a legend in his own time. The end of the cold war has, however, strengthened the hand of the Whitehall mandarins, to whom he seems about as controllable as Genhis Khan, so Sam is to have his fate decided at a special hearing. As part of the proceedings, four of Sam's key operations are reviewed: a clandestine mission into East Germany in 1985 to contact the top Russian spy General Pankratin; the second involving a KGB colonel who wants to defect - but is he genuine? An audacious Qaddafi-inspired plot to ship arms to the IRA; and the fourth when McCready presided over the aftermath of political murder and mayhem in the Caribbean.

The Tatas
The Tatas is the story of one of India's leading business families. It starts in the nineteenth century with Nusserwanji Tata - a middle-class Parsi priest from the village of Navsari in Gujarat, and widely regarded as the Father of Indian Industry - and ends with Ratan Tata - chairman of the Tata Group until 2012. But it is more than just a history of the industrial house; it is an inspiring account of India in the making. It chronicles how each generation of the family invested not only in the expansion of its own business interests but also in nation building. For instance, few know that the first hydel project in the world was conceived and built by the Tatas in India. Nor that some radical labour concepts such as eight-hour work shifts were born in India, at the Tata mill in Nagpur. The National Centre for the Performing Arts, the Tata Cancer Research Centre, the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research - the list about the Tatas' contribution to India is a long one. A bestseller in Marathi when it was first published in 2015, this is the only book that tells the complete Tata story over two hundred years.

The Third Pillar
Mostly, economists focus on the relationship between markets and the state. The social issues are often overlooked by them. The title of this book refers to the community that we live in. According to Rajan, ignoring the social issues can be dangerous as all markets are intricately influenced by human relations, values, and norms. In fact, throughout history, the technological phase shifts have drastically changed the old norms which led to violent backlashes and paved the way for populism. Even though an equilibrium has been reached, but it can get messy and ugly if not handled properly. Rajan argues that it has been done wrong, and as the markets and the state scale up, economic and political forces are being concentrated on the center. As a result, the peripheral, yet crucial, social structures are being destructed. Rajan advocates that local communities should be empowered to deflate unrest and despair. Thus, he emphasises on delegating the decision-making power to the grassroots in our democracy to avoid conflict and ultimate destruction.
