Von Oktober bis April kommt ein Wanderfalkenpaar zum Jagen an die ostenglische Küste, wo John Alec Baker es beobachtet: Die beiden Vögel baden, töten, fressen, schlafen. Seine Aufzeichnungen werden zum poetischen Tagebuch einer Obsession, ein Klagelied auf die Anmut und Einsamkeit des Jägers. Mit scharfem Bewusstsein für die Schönheit der Natur erzählt Baker die Geschichte seiner Annäherung an den schwer fassbaren Falken, in der er förmlich mit dem Vogel verschmilzt. Der Wanderfalke ist die sprachgewaltige Liebeserklärung an eine Landschaft, die Baker – obgleich tausendfach beschrieben – aus neuer Perspektive zu zeigen vermag: Durch die Augen des Vogels wird uns England zur Wildnis. Wie kaum ein anderes Buch feiert dieses Meisterwerk der literarischen Naturbeobachtung die unerschöpfliche Vitalität der Natur.

The adventure of a lifetime to buy Stalin's secret multimillion dollar wine cellar located in Georgia; it is the Raiders of the Lost Ark of wine. In the late 1990s, John Baker was known as a purveyor of quality rare and old wines. He was the perfect person for an occasional business partner to approach with a mysterious wine list that was different to anything John, or his second-in-command, Kevin Hopko, had ever come across. The list was discovered to be a comprehensive catalogue of the wine collection of Nicholas II, the last Tsar of Russia. The wine had become the property of the state after the Russian Revolution of 1918, during which Nicholas and his entire family were executed. Now owned by Stalin, the wine was discreetly removed to a remote Georgian winery when Stalin was concerned the advancing Nazi army might overrun Russia. Half a century later, the wine was rumoured to be hidden underground and off any known map. John and Kevin embarked on an audacious, colourful and potentially dangerous journey to Georgia to discover if the wines actually existed; if the bottles were authentic and whether the entire collection could be bought and transported to a major London auction house for sale. Stalin's Wine Cellar is a wild, sometimes rough ride through the glamorous world of high-end wine.

With his second novel Baker takes more risks than many writers would dare and triumphs. Val McDermid, novelist, Manchester Evening News.Baker’s second novel is strong, dark and discursive. There’s no doubt that – with his York setting and up-from-the-gutter hero – Baker has added something new to the crime scene. Philip Oakes, Literary Review.The supporting cast work splendidly, and York itself is evoked in an effective series of settings. Dark and seedy, leavened with ample wit, I enjoyed this book and can imagine it making an entertaining television series. Martin Hughes, Crime Time.
