Liebermann Papers
review 1: This may have the blandest title of the Liebermann Papers books so far, but it represents a leap forward in the author's plotting. The elegant styling and relevant themes of the previous books are here combined with a more ambitious, less outlandish, multi-stranded story.

Each volume illuminates the origins of the horrors that will shake the world: here, clinical psychologist Tallis explores the roots of fascism in schoolboy bullying. less
