CHRIS RICKABY & BARNEY THOMPSON, aka BEN CREED chat to Paul Burke about A TRAITOR'S HEART their new historical thriller featuring post WWII Leningrad and detective Revol Rossel. A TRAITOR'S HEART Winter, 1952: Leningrad's icy streets are haunted by a murderer. The name is whispered everywhere – Koshchei has returned, the people say, Koshchei the Immortal. Koshchei, named after a sinister figure from Slavic folklore, is an invisible killer who cuts out the tongue of his victims and replaces it with a scroll of paper containing a few lines of what seems to be Italian verse.Three thousand kilometres away in a labour colony above the Arctic Circle, threatened by the Thieves who rule the camp, former militia lieutenant Revol Rossel is close to death. As helicopter blades whip the snow into hallucinatory flurries, Rossel watches the arrival of a saviour he hates: Major Nikitin, the man who once cut off the former virtuoso violinist's fingers. Along with skilled aviator Tanya 'Vassya' Vasilievna, the two men must hunt Koshchei down. On the trail, they uncover more riddles, including one centred on the ruins of Hitler's bunker, the Fuhrer's own copy of a Renaissance manual for tyrants, and secret code hidden within that leads to a weapon of unimaginable power. A weapon coveted by the scheming plotters of Stalin's Kremlin.What Rossel and Nikitin do not know is that the mystery and the murderer are inextricably linked. And to save themselves they must not only catch Koshchei but also uncover the identity of another ghost – a ghost hiding among the remnants of Hitler's once all-powerful Third Reich.CHRIS RICKABY worked in advertising for 20 years.

Garry Marshall's 1990 blockbuster film, "Pretty Woman," is a Cinderella story, if Cinderella were a $100-per-hour call girl and Prince Charming were a Wall Street douche with daddy issues. The movie can't seem to decide if money is the root of all evil or if having a bunch of it solves everyone's problems. Julia Roberts plays Vivian Ward, your quintessential hooker with a heart of gold who is sometimes a naive Southern bumpkin but then randomly also a savvy, capable businesswoman who shuns having a pimp. Richard Gere plays Edward Lewis, a rich corporate raider and womanizer from New York who is also somehow the kindest man in the world and just needs this prostitute to make him change his money-loving ways. Jason Alexander plays Phillip Stuckey, Gere's ultra-slimy lawyer who helps him execute underhanded deals involving crooked politicians. Once Stuckey learns that Julia Roberts is a working girl, he starts creeping on her and ultimately attempts to force himself upon her. Laura San Giacomo (Maya from "Just Shoot Me") plays Kit De Luca, Julia Roberts' wisecracking friend and roommate, who taught her the prostitution trade. Héctor Elizondo plays Barney Thompson, the kind hotel manager who helps Julia Roberts out. Let’s face it: he is basically this movie's Fairy Godmother. Join us as we discuss how this movie was basically an advertisement for the Lotus Esprit sports car, what the original, much grittier script was like, and as we get to the bottom of the whole Richard Gere gerbil rumor.
