Pen of Iniquity, by Deno Sandz.

In 1998, Derrick Samuel pleaded innocent to an armed robbery of a convenience store, but was found guilty and incarcerated.

Four years earlier, miscreant Daniel Gordon, serving a ten-year sentence for murder at the Northville Prison, was brutally tortured and murdered by the warden, his guards, and six inmates because of his involvement with the outside world regarding the murders being committed by guards and inmates ordered by Warden Verdana. Daniel also complained about the improper living conditions, drug trafficking, and inhumane working conditions.

That evening four years ago, before the prison closed down due to funding, the guards forcefully pulled Daniel out of his cell and dragged down to a decaying boiler room. Inside the room awaited the six inmates and the warden. They beat him, chained him to an open steam pipe, and turned it on.

After a few minutes they took him down from the steam pipe thinking he was dead. Suddenly, Daniel spoke, “I shall remember you.” Then, into the furnace they placed him…burning him alive.

It is now the year 2002 and a Pen of Iniquity is about to be opened.

Creative Novel Writing, by Roselle Angwin 
(Robert Hale, hardback and paperback). 
This one's very much a hands-on guide, based on an annual course I've been running for 8 years now. The course has been featured in The Guardian, and one of my other courses (I run the Fire in the Head creative and reflective writing programme) in The Sunday Times.
http://www.roselle-angwin.co.uk

Synopsis
There are two sorts of writers: the dabbler, and the compulsive. If you belong to the second category, and if you know that you have a novel inside you itching to be freed, then this is the book for you. Good creative writing, Roselle Angwin believes, is the product of an alchemical encounter between creative imagination, the form or vehicle it takes, and 'factor x'. This book is unique amongst 'how-to' books in that it addresses not only style and structure, but also the core - the imagination, and the creation of the conditions in which 'factor x' may occur. The book is also thoroughly practical; its basis is course material tried and tested in Roselle's highly successful 'A Novel in Two Terms' course. Through section headings such as 'hunting and gathering', 'pain and passion', 'memories, dreams, reflections' and 'where do ideas come from?' as well as 'viewpoint', plot', 'character', and 'dialogue', this book will tempt, guide, seduce and bully you into finding your own imaginative voice for the story you want to tell. Here indeed is a novel-writing book which truly covers new ground.

Do Not Adjust Your Set - The Early Days of Live Television, 
by Kate Dunn

Do Not Adjust Your Set - The Early Days of Live Television, issued by John Murray last month [July].

Synopsis
In the early days of television, everything was live, even the "repeats". Actors and actresses had to think on their feet, running from set to set, often while changing costume and making cuts to their scripts at the same time. In this book, stars such as Dame Eileen Atkins, Wendy Craig and Sir Nigel Hawthorne recall the frenetic conditions in which classics such as "Dixon of Dock Green" and "Z Cars" were made, and the extraordinary hazards they had to deal with - scenery collapsed, actors went missing, and even died.

The Times has described it as 'hilarious', the Sunday Times says it is 'packed with gripping anecdotes' and the Independent says, ”Kate Dunn has compiled a valuable and necessary work of oral history in a scandalously under-researched field. She has mapped out a world of television that has been comprehensively lost. Live television maybe gone but this entertaining history ensures it won’t be forgotten.”
