This season’s list is eclectic, if not positively schizophrenic – which is just what we want at Serpent’s Tail. Our new books this autumn divide into two categories, seemingly polar opposites. On one side are big, dangerous themes – politics, race, exploitation and power – addressed in unputdownable stories. Attica Locke’s new book, The Cutting Season, leads this charge, taking on the meaning of history in the American South. Beside it are Sam Hawken’s novel of border politics, Tequila Sunset; Fabrice Humbert’s examination of immigration, Sila’s Fortune; a vision of modern South Africa in Roger Smith’s Capture; and Cathi Unsworth’s defence of the apparently indefensible, Weirdo. On the other side are works of exuberant imagination. Everyone needs to read a book that’s pure pleasure sometimes. So Simon Rich’s What In God’s Name reimagines heaven as a mismanaged corporation with an irresponsible CEO. Albert of Adelaide is a classic western, set in the Australian outback, with a platypus as its hero. And John Hegley offers a window into his inimitable world in his latest collection, Peace, Love and Potatoes. We wish you enjoyable, challenging and, most of all, varied reading.

The Cutting Season Caren has always known that beneath its loamy topsoil, the manicured grounds and gardens, two centuries of breathtaking wealth and spectacle, lies a land both black and bitter, and that one day it would spit out what it no longer had use for, the secrets it would no longer keep.
Attica Locke
New Title
The American South in the twenty-first century. A dead body. And so much history. Just after dawn, Caren walks the grounds of Belle Vie, the historic plantation house in Louisiana she manages. Today she sees nothing unusual, but later, she gets a call. Something terrible has been discovered up by the fence bordering the cane fields. A dead body. At a distance, she missed her. A young woman, lying face-down in a shallow grave, her throat cut clean. Now Caren has police on site, an investigation in progress, a member of staff no one can track down. And she keeps uncovering things she will wish she didn’t know. A magnificent, sweeping story, The Cutting Season brings history face-to-face with modern America, where Obama is president, but some things never change. ‘Attica Locke is a stand-out in every way’ James Ellroy ‘Locke has an extraordinary gift’ Guardian Attica Locke’s debut novel Black Water Rising was shortlisted for the Orange Prize in 2010

Sinister forces are out to stop Sean Ward discovering the truth about a notorious child-killer
Gritty page-turner set amongst the gangs who really control the US/Mexican border
Twenty years ago, a fifteen-year-old schoolgirl named Corrine Woodrow was convicted of murdering one of her classmates, but now new forensic evidence indicates that she didn’t act alone. So Sean Ward – a private investigator whose promising career in the Met was cut short by a teenage drug dealer with an automatic weapon – travels to the seaside town of Ernemouth, to discover what really happened all those years ago.
El Paso and Ciudad Juárez sit across the border from each other. They share streets, industry, crime. One gang claims territory in both: Barrio Azteca, or, as the Mexicans call them, Los Aztecas. This single criminal organisation is responsible for eighty per cent of the homicides committed in Juárez.
In order to get to the truth, he has to take on retired Detective Inspector Len Rivett – the man who headed up the original case – as well as an entire town that has always known how to look after its own.

Albert of Adelaide Howard Anderson
New Title
A glorious romp of a novel, Albert of Adelaide is a story of friendship, loyalty, heroism . . . and marsupials Albert is a duck-billed platypus on a quest. He has escaped from a zoo in Adelaide to look for somewhere that may or may not exist. Old Australia is a place where humans never venture and animals still rule, and so Albert is lured by the promise of freedom in a land of plenty. Albert’s heard it’s somewhere in the middle of the outback – not the ideal habitat for a water-loving animal – but now he’s lost and close to death. Things are looking bad for him until Jack, a pyromaniac, sardineloving wombat, comes along. And that’s just the beginning of Albert’s adventure.
A genuinely distinctive first novel: Watership Down meets True Grit An international phenomenon published simultaneously in Australia, US, UK and Europe Film rights already sold

The violence of Nazi Germany has explosive reverberations in contemporary life
An attack on an immigrant waiter exposes the prejudice of France today
During a school trip to Buchenwald concentration camp, a young French teacher comes across a photograph taken in the camp in 1941, of a prisoner whose resemblance to his own father is uncanny. However, the man has a different name and died in 1942.
Paris, 1995. In a luxury restaurant, a waiter is violently attacked by a diner. No one moves. Not the couple close by, nor the wife of the aggressor, nor the two young traders celebrating their first jobs.
Returning to France, the teacher finds that the memory of the photograph haunts him. His search for its subject takes him into the dark heart of his own family. The Origin of Violence is a virtuoso performance that asks urgent questions of the modern world.

Half Blood Blues Esi Edugyan
Paperback
The truth is just the lie you believe the most
Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2011
Nick is the man who has it all – or so it seems on the surface. But that can change in a second: his young daughter wants his attention but he’s talking to a friend, so she decides to rescue her toy boat from the water herself.
1940. In the aftermath of the fall of Paris, Hieronymus Falk, a rising star on the cabaret scene, is arrested in a cafe and never heard from again. He is twenty years old. A German citizen. And he is black.
Vernon sees her slip and fall, but chooses to do nothing – until it’s too late. An ex-cop, now a security guard, Vernon promises to help Nick, but Vernon is really only thinking of himself, and Nick doesn’t realise until he’s in too deep to get out.
Fifty years later, Sid – Hiero’s bandmate and the only witness that day – is going back to Berlin, where they first met. Persuaded by his old friend Chip, Sid discovers there’s more to the journey when Chip shares a mysterious letter, bringing to the surface secrets buried since Hiero’s fate was settled.
Taut and uncompromising, Capture is the story of three lives and the single event that brings them together. It’s also a stark reminder that, sometimes, one moment is all it takes . . .
In Half Blood Blues, Esi Edugyan weaves the horror of betrayal, the burden of loyalty and the possibility that, if you don't tell your story, someone else might tell it for you. And they just might tell it wrong ...

Instead, he is sent to Artois, where he experiences the relentless death and violence of the trenches. His reprieve finally comes when he is wounded, evacuated and hospitalised.

The Cold Cold Ground Adrian McKinty
Paperback
For Detective Sergeant Sean Duffy, the troubles are only just beginning . . . Spring 1981. Newly promoted and posted to Carrickfergus CID, Detective Sergeant Duffy has hardly had a chance to unpack when he’s landed with two very different cases: what may be Northern Ireland’s first ever serial killer and a young woman’s suicide that may yet turn out to be murder. It’s no easy job – especially when it turns out that one of the victims was involved in the IRA, but last seen talking to one of their sworn enemies in the UVF. For Duffy, though, there’s no question of which side he’s on – because as a Catholic policeman, nobody trusts him.

Caught by Operation Julie – Britain’s biggest ever drugs bust
A memoir of race, roots and music, from The Selecter’s lead singer
Leaf Fielding was arrested in a pre-dawn raid in 1977 for his part in the acid consipracy ended by Operation Julie. The work of eleven police forces, it resulted in the break-up of one of the largest LSD cooperatives in the world, the arrest of 120 people and, according to reports, the seizure of six million trips’ worth of LSD crystal, valued at £100 million. Overnight, the price of a tab went from £1 to £5.
Born in 1953 to Anglo-Jewish/Nigerian parents, Pauline Black was adopted by a white, working class family in Romford. Never quite at home there, she escaped her small town background and discovered a different way of life - making music.
Tried, convicted and sent to jail, Fielding describes how he ended up there. Acid transformed him, taking him on adventures across Europe, Asia and on to the edge of the known universe. It also led inexorably to his downfall. This is the first account of Operation Julie told by someone on the inside.

The scandalous life of the pioneering poet Arthur Rimbaud
A stunning novel of guilt, loss and remembering
In the space of one year, 1871, Arthur Rimbaud transformed himself from a teenage bumpkin into the literary sensation of Paris. Then, just shy of his twentieth birthday, Rimbaud declared himself finished with literature. In time, he became a prosperous trader and arms dealer in Ethiopia. But a cancerous leg forced him to return to France. He died aged thirty-seven.
In a world all but drowned, a man called Bran has been living on an island for ten years. He was sent there in exile, and he tallies the days on the wall of his cave. Until something happens that kindles in Bran such memories and longing that he decides to return, even if it means death.
Bruce Duffy takes the bare facts of Rimbaud’s fascinating existence and brings them vividly to life in a story rich with people, places and paradox.
