Their soccer, basketball, gymnastics, swimming and track and field teams amassed a treasure trove of medals while millions of Americans marveled at their individual skills and athleticism.

I met Carol Martin at the small A&P on Metropolitan Avenue, six years after we graduated from grammar school.

It was in October 2000, at an evening class on writing thriller fiction held in a sixth-form college in Brighton, that I first heard Chris Sansom read the opening of what was to become his first novel, Dissolution. The book, the first in a series which chronicled the exploits of hunchbacked lawyer, Matthew Shardlake, solving mysteries amidst the high drama of Tudor England would become an instant bestseller when it was published three years later.
