Stanowi część 1. trylogii.

National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist.

Proud, traditional, and impeccably organized, Albert Schmidt is a button-down lawyer of the old school.

His beloved wife has recently died and he stumbles - or is he being pushed? - into early retirement.

And his daughter, his only child, is planning to marry a man Schmidt cannot approve of, for reasons he can scarcely admit, even to himself.

As Schmidt gropes for resolutions, he finds unexpected hope in an intense passion that comes out of the blue.

Then he met a professor who told him of a future in which people could think... and Guy Montag suddenly realized what he had to do.

Four boys growing up in New York's violent West Side are sent to a reform school when a prank goes disasterously wrong.

They are subjected to twelve months of systematic mental, physical and sexual abuse.

Ten years later one of the boys is a journalist (the author), one is a lawyer and two are killers for the mob.

The last two stumble on one of their torturers and shoot him dead and their friends undertake an audacious plan to get them acquitted and instead put their persecutors on trial.

Na okładce: "Extraordinary...Truly Astonishing...Deighton at the Top his Very Considerable Form". The Washington Post Book World.

Goodbye Mickey Mouse is Deighton's fourteenth novel and a vivid evocation of wartime England, the story of a group of American fighter pilots flying escort missions over Germany in the winter of 1943-4. Alike only in their courage, they forge a bond of friendship in battle with far-reaching consequences for themselves, and for the future of those they love.

Bibliografia na stronach 261-271. Indeks.

Despite five centuries of investigation by historians, the sinister deaths of the boy king Edward V and his younger brother Richard, Duke of York, remain one of the most fascinating murder mysteries in English history. Did Richard III really kill the young princes, as is commonly believed, or was the murderer someone else entirely? Carefully examining every shred of contemporary evidence as well as the dozens of modern accounts, Weir reconstructs the entire chain of events leading to the double murder to arrive at a conclusion Sherlock Holmes himself could not dispute.
