Mick Herron </b></p><p><i>*</i></p><p><b><i>A Treachery of Spies</i> is an espionage thriller to rival the very best, a high stakes game of cat-andmouse, played in the shadows, which will keep you guessing every step of the way.</b></p><p>A body has been found. The elderly victim's identity has been cleverly obscured but one thing is clear: she has been killed in the manner of traitors to the Resistance in World War Two.</p><p>To find answers in the present, police inspector Ines Picaut must look to the past; to 1940s France, a time of sworn allegiances and broken promises, where the men and women of the Resistance fought for survival against Nazi invaders.</p><p>But, as Picaut soon discovers, there are those in the present whose futures depend on the past remaining buried, and who will kill to keep their secrets safe. Old fashioned espionage might be a thing of the past but treachery is as dangerous as ever.</p><p>*</p><p><b>'This is a rich vein for fiction, and Scott does it more than justice, with this beautifully imagined, beautifully written, smart, sophisticated - but fiercely suspenseful - thriller.'

The Peculiar Crimes Unit is called in to investigate. The victim was found surrounded by the paraphernalia of black magic, and so Arthur Bryant and John May set off to question experts in the field. </p><p>But the case is not what it appears. When another victim seemingly commits suicide, it becomes clear that in the London night is a killer who knows what people fear most. And he always strikes at 4:00am.</p><p>In order to catch him, the PCU must switch to night shifts, but still the team draws a blank. John May takes a technological approach, Arthur Bryant goes in search of academics and misfits for help, for this is becoming a case that reveals impossibilities at every turn, not least that there's no indication of what the victims might have done to attract the attentions of a murderer that doesn't seem to exist.

But impossibilities are what the Peculiar Crimes Unit does best. </p><p>As they explore a night city where all the normal rules are upended, they're drawn deeper into a case that involves murder, arson, kidnap, blackmail, bats and the psychological effects of loneliness on Londoners. It's a trail that takes them from the poorest part of the East End to the wealthiest homes in North London - an investigation that can only end in tragedy...</p> _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Until now. Arthur Bryant remembers these lost cases as if they were yesterday. Unfortunately, he doesn't remember yesterday, so the newly revealed facts could come as a surprise to everyone, including his exasperated partner John May.</p><p>Here, then, is the truth about the Covent Garden opera diva and the seventh reindeer, the body that falls from the Tate Gallery, the ordinary London street corner where strange accidents keep occurring, the consul's son discovered buried in the unit's basement, the corpse pulled from a swamp of Chinese dinners, a Hallowe'en crime in the Post Office Tower, and the impossible death that's the fault of a forgotten London legend. All of the unit's oddest characters are here, plus the detectives' longsuffering sergeant Janice Longbright gets to reveal her own forgotten mystery. </p><p>These twelve crimes must be solved without the help of modern technology, mainly because nobody knows how to use it. Expect misunderstood clues, lost evidence, arguments about Dickens, churches, pubs and disorderly conduct from the investigative officers they laughingly call 'England's Finest'!</p> _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Miller isn't afraid to write characters who are opinionated. They don't hold their tongue about what they believe in, they let rip. People are angry, people are passionate. I love the unorthodoxy of it, I suppose. It's not what you expect it to be." <b>Val McDermid</b></i></p><p>She knew it was a weird place. She'd heard the stories, seen the movies, read the books. But now police Chief Inspector Sigrid Odegard has to leave her native Norway and actually go there; to that land across the Atlantic where her missing brother is implicated in the mysterious death of a prominent African-American academic.</p><p>America. </p><p>And not someplace interesting, either: upstate New York.</p><p>Plunged into a United States where race and identity, politics and promise, reverberate in every aspect of daily life. To find her older brother, she needs the help of the local police who appear to have already made up their minds about the case. Working with - or, if necessary, against - someone actually named Sheriff Irving 'Irv' Wylie, she must negotiate the local political minefields and navigate the back woods of the Adirondacks to uncover the truth before it's too late...</p><p><b>Shortlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger Award 2019</b></p> _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Here a community of dedicated scientists and technicians is building the most powerful nuclear device the world will ever see - three thousand times more powerful than Hiroshima. </p><p>But days before the bomb is to be tested, a young physicist is found dead. His body contains enough radioactive poison to kill thousands. The Arzamas authorities believe it is suicide - they want the corpse disposed of, the incident filed and forgotten. But Moscow is alarmed by what's going on in this strange, isolated place. </p><p>And so KGB major Alexander Vasin is sent to investigate. What he finds in Arzamas is unlike anything he's experienced before. His wits will be tested against some of the most brilliant minds in the Soviet Union - eccentrics, patriots and dissidents who, because their work is considered to be of such vital national importance, have been granted the freedom to think and act, live and love as they wish. For in Arzamas, nothing can be allowed to get in the way of the project. Not even murder . . . </p><p>Intricately researched, cunningly plotted and brilliantly told, <i>Black Sun </i>is a fast-paced and timely thriller set at the height - and in the heart - of Soviet power.</p> _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

You think you're ordinary. You never suspect that you're stronger than you seem, braver than you feel or greater than you imagine. But I hope that by the time you finish this tale, you'll start listening to the whispers that speak of unknown things, the signs that point in unseen directions and the nudges that suggest unimagined possibilities. I hope too that you'll discover your own magnificence, your own magic . . . </i></p><p>This is the story of four sisters Grimm - daughters born to different mothers on the same day, each born out of bright-white wishing and black-edged desire. They found each other at eight years-old, were separated at thirteen and now, at nearly eighteen, it is imperative that they find each other once again. </p><p>In thirty-three days they will meet their father in Everwhere. Only then will they discover who they truly are, and what they can truly do. Then they must fight to save their lives and the lives of the ones they love. Three will live, one will die. You'll have to read on to find out who and why...</p> _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

And it rests with one man. His name is Lucanus who they call the Wolf.

But this is no ordinary legion. His command is the 'unlucky' Ninth, tainted by four decades of ill fortune and poor leadership. A unit regarded as expendable by Valerius's superior, Gnaeus Julius Agricola, governor of Britannia.</p><p>Yet all that can be swept aside by a single moment of glory, and the long heralded invasion of the north of the province provides the perfect opportunity. Valerius leads his men to a devastating victory against the recalcitrant Brigantes, infuriating Agricola in the process. Soon, even greater honours beckon with the death of Emperor Vespasian and the succession of Valerius's friend, Titus.</p><p>But, back in Rome, the new emperor faces his own challenges, not least from his own brother, Domitian, a man with an insatiable ambition for power and a deadly hatred of Valerius.</p><p>All Valerius can do is forget the great prizes on offer, concentrate on defeating the savage tribes who lie in the path of the Ninth, and ignore Agricola's intrigues.</p><p>But watching his every move is the most formidable enemy he has ever faced: mighty Calgacus, war chief of the Northern alliance.</p> _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Winter holds London in its icy grasp, and the city in turn is caught in a fervour of paranoia, suspicion and superstition.

Rumours of papist plots and a Spanish invasion run riot through the streets, mob violence is commonplace, all it takes is spiteful gossip and a whispered word for a woman to be accused of witchcraft and burned at the stake. The atmosphere is febrile. </p><p>Following his part in foiling the Incendium plot against Queen Elizabeth's life, intelligencer Dr Christopher Radcliff's standing within the Earl of Leicester's staff is high. But there is no time to rest on his laurels. Word has reached him of counterfeit coinage circulating on the city's streets, inns, gambling dens and brothels: coins which show the likeness of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. This in itself is a treasonous offence, but simultaneously slogans have begun to appear, daubed on walls and doorways - slogans that suggest there is treachery at court, that someone close to the queen harbours malign thoughts. That leave London's citizens in no doubt that that individual is none other than Robert Dudley himself . . . </p><p>And so Christopher Radcliff and his team of informers are tasked with finding out and tracking down whoever is behind such outrageous and potentially dangerous slanders. And fast. As his investigations lure him and his colleagues into a duplicitous web of greed and murder, they find they are in a race against time. For when rumour and gossip catch fire, then surely violent insurrection and bloody chaos will follow...</p> _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Her mother moves in after having a fall, her sister Ger is off 'finding herself' in India leaving Ann to look after her teenage, wide a-woke, niece Freya. Her daughter Jennifer is dealing with a love triangle that involves her mother-in-lawto-be. It's all far from simple.</p><p>Now Rory, her youngest, has set his sights on a future as a local TD and it's all Ann can do not to box him up and post him off to the backend of wherever is furthest away from his local 'mentor', politician, and all-round chancer Patsy Duggan. Just to save him from himself. Of course, that's not even an option because now the post office is closing down. The locals are up in arms, but what do the powers-that-be care about rural Ireland? Without really meaning to be, Ann finds herself in the thick of things - and things are getting dodgier by the minute. <br />She only wanted to save the village, but sometimes even saviours need saving from themselves.</p> _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Next door is SAMARA, still grieving over the early death of her mother, the local estate agent. Opposite lives CASS, a scholar on maternity leave, embittered by the interruption of her game-changing studies by motherhood.</p><p>As Broken Mountain shows signs of erupting, the neighbours begin to catch vivid visions of themselves in another life - a happier, more fulfilled one.

Smart, diligent, and a bit plain, that's the general consensus.

Then Hillary goes to college, and her star rises. At Yale Law School, she continues to be a leader- and catches the eye of driven, handsome and charismatic Bill. But when he asks her to marry him, Hillary gives him a firm No.</p><p>The rest, as they say, isn't history. How might things have turned out for them, for America, for the world itself, if Hillary Rodham had really turned down Bill Clinton?</p><p>With her sharp but always compassionate eye, Sittenfeld explores the loneliness, moral ambivalence and iron determination that characterise the quest for high office, as well as the painful compromises demanded of female ambition in a world ruled by men.

Stolen and cached in a church in Mexico, it was recovered by two army officers who fled north for the French settlements. Along the way one stabbed the other to death. The remaining officer was eventually killed by Plains Indians, but he buried the treasure just before he died. </p><p>Now Ronan Chantry, a handful of trappers, and an Irish girl whose father was killed after telling her a few vague landmarks are searching for the lost treasure. But they are not alone. The girl's uncle, Rafen Falvey, wants it, too. Like Chantry, he is well educated, bold, and determined. Under different circumstances the two men might have been friends. But in all likelihood it wouldn't have made any difference. When it comes to gold, even friendship doesn't keep men from killing each other. </p><p><b>Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures is a project created to release some of the author's more unconventional manuscripts from the family archives.</b><br /><b> </b><br /><b>In<i> Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures: Volumes 1, </i> Beau L'Amour takes the reader on a guided tour through many of the finished and unfinished short stories, novels, and treatments that his father was never able to publish during his lifetime.

She has three months to live -- ninety days to say goodbye to friends and family and put her affairs in order. Trying to focus on the positives (at least she'll never lose her teeth) Jennifer realises she has one overriding regret: the words she's left unsaid. <br />Rather than pursuing a frantic bucket list, she chooses to stay put, and write letters to three significant people in her life: her overbearing, selfish sister, her jelly-spined, cheating ex-husband, and her charming, unreliable ex-boyfriend finally

telling them the things she's always wanted to say but never dared.<br />At first, Jennifer feels cleansed by her catharsis. Liberated, even. But once you start telling the truth, it's hard to stop. And, as she soon discovers, the truth isn't always as straightforward as it seems, and death has a way of surprising you ..</p> _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Although she does see her long term partner lover <i>friend, </i>Sergei, once a week which is 'quite enough, thank you very much'.
