Suppose one day, your son or husband, while serving in the military or working as a journalist, is taken hostage by a terrorist group - and you have no idea whether your loved one is dead or alive. It’s a nightmare scenario. Here for the first time is the story of Ory Slonim, the one man in Israel who, for more than two decades, was known as the “door knocker.” He had been a private Israeli lawyer when he was asked to undertake, on behalf of the Israeli government, secret negotiations to find out the whereabouts of Israeli soldiers who were taken alive.

As one of our leading campaigners for justice, human rights lawyer Clive Stafford Smith has spent a lifetime getting to know his clients—from detainees in Guantánamo Bay to prisoners facing execution on Death Row—and finding out, in his own words, 'what makes them tick'. But for much of his life, closer to home, there was a man whose mind remained off limits: his own father.

Sono morti venti, trent'anni fa. Giù a Palermo. Lo sapevano che li avrebbero fermati, prima o poi. Facevano paura al potere. Italiani troppo diversi e troppo soli per avere un'altra sorte. Una solitudine generata non soltanto da interessi di cosca o di consorteria. Ma anche da meschinità più nascoste e colpevoli indolenze, decisive per trascinarli verso una fine violenta. Avevano il silenzio attorno. A un passo. Pio La Torre, nel partito al quale ha dedicato tutto se stesso.

Una mattina di aprile del 1984 una chiamata cambia per sempre la vita del giudice Leonardo Guarnotta.

Il libro presenta il percorso autobiografico di un protagonista delle grandi inchieste degli anni Ottanta e Novanta. I valori di famiglia, l'educazione e le tappe formative sfociano nella decisione di entrare in magistratura: la narrazione scorre rievocando la cultura del Sessantotto, gli omicidi dei colleghi Alessandrini e Galli; l'adesione a Magistratura Democratica; la clamorosa inchiesta su Licio Gelli e la Loggia P2 e gli altrettanto clamorosi "tronconi" derivati dell'inchiesta.

In Nothing Like the Truth, Nigel Lithman, QC, provides an entertaining and irreverent insight into life in the criminal courts as barrister, QC, and Crown Court judge.
