The Insufferable Gaucho

The Undesirables

Roberto Bolaño

Dave Boling

A treasure trove of strange, arresting, short masterworks from the genius that is Roberto Bolaño

The second novel from the author of Guernica, a top ten bestseller and winner of the Richard & Judy Summer Read 2009

Unpredictable and daring, highly controlled and yet somehow haywire, the five short stories included here are some of Bolaño’s best. Whether they concern a stalwart rodent detective trying to investigate the mysterious deaths of his fellow rats, an elderly judge giving up his job in the city for an improbable return to the family farm in the pampas, or a confrontation between an elusive film-maker and the little-known Argentinian novelist whose work he’s plagiarized for years, they are as haunting as they are enthralling.

While the vastly outnumbered Boer commandos fight in the field, half a million British soldiers torch a flaming path across the South African veld. As they go, the British imprison thousands of displaced Boer families, including Aletta Venter’s, and cast them into newly devised ‘concentration camps’.

In addition, The Insufferable Gaucho offers, for the first time in English, two essays: ‘Literature + Illness = Illness’ and ‘The Myths of Cthulhu’. Provocative and often scathing, these essays are alive with Bolaño’s trademark humour, violence and utter faith in the power of the written word. Roberto Bolaño confirmed his place as a giant of Latin American literature with his novels The Savage Detectives and 2666. He is undoubtedly, as Susan Sontag said, ‘the real thing and the rarest’. The Insufferable Gaucho was the last book he prepared for publication before he died in 2003. Roberto Bolaño was born in Santiago, Chile, in 1953. He grew up in Chile and Mexico City. He is the author of The Savage Detectives, which received the Herralde Prize and the Rómulo Gallegos Prize, and 2666, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award. He died in Blanes, Spain, at the age of fifty.

In a crowded tent with her mother and siblings, Aletta finds ways to cope with the confinement, privation and loss, but searches for the rarest of comforts – a bit of adolescent normalcy, perhaps even the spark of forbidden romance. Her weapon of choice in this personal battle: a young girl’s powerful sense of hope. A deeply moving, intimate portrait of family, friendship and love, set against the backdrop of the Second Boer War at the turn of the twentieth century. Dave Boling is the author of Guernica, a top ten bestseller and winner of the Richard & Judy Summer Read 2009 and other international awards. A Chicago native, Dave Boling is a journalist in the Seattle area.

Selected Poems

Mrs. Hemingway

Paul Farley

Naomi Wood

An essential selection of poetry from the winner of the Forward Prize and the E. M. Forster Award

The story of the most famous writer of his generation and the four extraordinary women who married him

Paul Farley is now widely recognized as one of the leading English poets writing today. Selected Poems takes stock of a singular talent of great formal gifts: for readers new to his work, this is an ideal and generous introduction, drawing on four collections from his acclaimed debut, The Boy from the Chemist is Here to See You, to his most recent, The Dark Film. Farley is a cultural archivist, a nostalgist of the darkest and most unsettling kind, and a meticulous curator of those fleeting details which define our lives and times most poignantly: he already reads like one of the poets by whom future generations will know us best. His Selected Poems is a marvellous introduction to one of poetry’s most capacious and eclectic imaginations.

In the dazzling summer of 1926, Ernest Hemingway and his wife Hadley travel from their home in Paris to a villa in the south of France. They swim, play bridge and drink gin. But wherever they go they are accompanied by the glamorous and irrepressible Fife. Fife is Hadley’s best friend. She is also Ernest’s lover.

Paul Farley was born in Liverpool in 1965, and studied at the Chelsea School of Art. He has published four collections with Picador, The Boy From the Chemist is Here to See You (1998), The Ice Age (2002), Tramp in Flames (2006) and The Dark Film (2012), and has received many awards for his work, including the E. M. Forster Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

Hadley is the first Mrs. Hemingway, but neither she nor Fife will be the last. Over the ensuing decades, Ernest’s literary career will blaze a trail, but his marriages will be ignited by passion and deceit. Four extraordinary women will learn what it means to love the most famous writer of his generation, and each will be forced to ask herself how far she will go to remain his wife . . . Luminous and intoxicating, Mrs. Hemingway portrays real lives with rare intimacy and plumbs the depths of the human heart. Naomi Wood is the author of The Godless Boys. She studied at Cambridge and has a master’s degree and doctorate from the University of East Anglia. Her research for Mrs. Hemingway took her from the British Library to the Library of Congress, and to Ernest Hemingway’s homes and old haunts in Chicago, Paris, Antibes, Key West and Cuba.

A New York Winter’s Tale

Byssus

Mark Helprin

Jen Hadfield

Now a major film starring Russell Crowe, Colin Farrell and Jessica Brown Findlay

A brilliant new poetry collection from the winner of the T. S. Eliot Prize

One night in New York, a city under siege by snow, Peter Lake attempts to rob a fortress-like mansion on the Upper West Side. Though he thinks it is empty, the daughter of the house is home . . . Thus begins the affair between this Irish burglar and Beverly Penn, a young girl dying of consumption. It is a love so powerful that Peter will be driven to stop time and bring back the dead; A New York Winter’s Tale is the story of that extraordinary journey. Educated at Harvard, Princeton and Oxford, Mark Helprin served in the Israeli Army, Israeli Air Force, and British merchant navy. He is the author of six novels and three short story collections and he also writes non-fiction and children’s books.

Byssus is Jen Hadfield’s third collection, and her first after the T. S. Eliot prize-winning Nigh-No-Place. Named for the strong fibres that a mussel uses to anchor itself to the seabed, Byssus is an unsurprisingly rich and various collection – but a book first and foremost about home, and what it takes to find and forge one. Through praise poems, love poems, charms and fables, Hadfield shows how speech itself affords us a means to inhabit and merge with a landscape, through a practice of attention and careful honouring. Her language, strongly rooted in the common names she finds in the sea, shore and moor of her adopted Shetland, has already been admired for its startling originality. But Byssus is not a book content to reflect and meditate: Hadfield has made strange new objects to place among the natural, and the book builds to a profound consideration of who and what we are within the landscape. Jen Hadfield lives in Shetland. Her first collection, Almanacs, won an Eric Gregory Award in 2003. Her second collection, Nigh-No-Place, won the T. S. Eliot Prize and was shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best Collection. She won the Edwin Morgan Poetry Competition in 2012.

Boy, Snow, Bird

Shotgun Lovesongs

Helen Oyeyemi

Nickolas Butler

The fifth novel from award-winning author Helen Oyeyemi, Boy, Snow, Bird is a deeply moving novel about three women and an unbreakable bond

A big-hearted masterpiece of small-town life from a glorious new voice in American fiction

BOY Novak turns twenty and decides to try for a brandnew life. Flax Hill, Massachusetts, isn’t exactly a welcoming town, but it does have the virtue of being the last stop on the bus route she took from New York. Flax Hill is also the hometown of Arturo Whitman – craftsman, widower, and father of Snow. SNOW is mild-mannered, radiant and deeply cherished – exactly the sort of little girl Boy never was, and Boy is utterly beguiled by her. If Snow displays a certain inscrutability at times, that’s simply a characteristic she shares with her father, harmless until Boy gives birth to Snow’s sister, Bird. When BIRD is born Boy is forced to re-evaluate the image Arturo’s family have presented to her, and Boy, Snow and Bird are broken apart.

Henry, Lee, Kip and Ronny grew up together in rural Wisconsin. Friends since childhood, their lives all began the same way, but have since taken different paths. Henry stayed on the family farm and married his first love, whilst the others left in search of something more. Ronnie became a rodeo star, Kip made his fortune in the city, and musician Lee found fame – but heartbreak, too. Now all four are back in town for a wedding, each of them hoping to recapture their old closeness but unable to escape how much has changed. Amid the happiness of reunion and celebration, old rivalries resurface and a wife’s secret threatens to tear both a marriage and a friendship apart . . . This is a novel about the things that matter – love and loyalty, the power of music and the beauty of nature – told in a uniquely beautiful, warm-hearted and profound way and exploring the age-old question of whether we can ever truly come home.

Helen Oyeyemi is the prize-winning author of novels including White is for Witching, which won a 2010 Somerset Maugham Award, and Mr Fox. In 2013, Helen was included in Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists, alongside Ned Beauman and Zadie Smith. Boy, Snow, Bird is Helen’s fifth novel.

Nickolas Butler was born in Pennsylvania and raised in Wisconsin, where he has now returned with his wife and two children. He has worked as a Burger King maintenance man, a hot-dog vendor, a telemarketer, an innkeeper (twice), an office manager, a coffee roaster and a liquor-store clerk. A graduate of the University of Wisconsin and the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop, his work has appeared in a wide range of literary magazines. Shotgun Lovesongs is his first novel.

Vanishing

Frog Music

Gerard Woodward

Emma Donoghue

A new, blackly comic novel of camouflage and mystery from the Man Booker Prize shortlisted Gerard Woodward

Frog Music is a wonderfully evocative novel of intrigue and murder from Emma Donoghue, the author of the international bestseller Room, an emotive and powerful novel that was shortlisted for the 2010 Man Booker and Orange Prizes

Towards the end of the Second World War a young British artist called Kenneth Brill is arrested for painting landscapes near the old village of Heathrow. The authorities suspect his paintings contain coded information about the new military airfield that is to be built there. Brill protests that he is merely recording a landscape that will soon disappear. Under interrogation a more complicated picture emerges as Brill tells the story of his life – of growing up among the market gardens of the Heath, of his life on the London art scene of the 1930s, and his brief spell as a master at a minor public school. But a darker picture also comes to light, of dealings with the prostitutes and pimps of the Soho underworld, of a break-in at a royal residence and of connections with well-known fascist sympathisers at home and abroad. So who is the real Kenneth Brill? Vanishing sees the world through the eyes of one of the forgotten geniuses of British Art, a man whose artistic vision is so piercing he has trouble seeing what is right in front of him. Gerard Woodward is the author of a number of novels, including Nourishment and an acclaimed trilogy comprising: August (shortlisted for the 2001 Whitbread First Novel Award), I’ll Go to Bed at Noon (shortlisted for the 2004 Man Booker Prize) and A Curious Earth.

San Francisco, 1876: a stifling heatwave and smallpox epidemic have engulfed the City. Deep in the streets of Chinatown live three former stars of the Parisian circus: Blanche, now an exotic dancer at the House of Mirrors, her lover Arthur and his companion Ernest. When an eccentric outsider joins their little circle, secrets unravel, changing everything and leaving one of them dead. Frog Music, inspired by true events, is an evocative novel of intrigue and murder: elegant, erotic and witty. Born in Dublin in 1969 and now living in Canada, Emma Donoghue is a writer of fiction, history, and drama for radio, stage and screen. She is best known for her international bestseller Room, shortlisted for the Man Booker and Orange Prizes and winner of the Commonwealth (Canada/Caribbean), Rogers Writers’ Trust and Hughes & Hughes Irish Novel of the Year Awards. Her fiction ranges from contemporary (Stir-fry, Hood, Landing, Touchy Subjects) to historical (Slammerkin, The Woman Who Gave Birth to Rabbits, Life Mask, The Sealed Letter, Astray) to fairy-tale (Kissing the Witch).

The Good Luck of Right Now

The Man Who Couldn’t Stop

Matthew Quick

David Adam

A funny and tender story about family, friendship, grief, love and . . . Richard Gere

An intimate look at the power of intrusive thoughts, how our brains can turn against us and what it means to live with obsessive compulsive disorder

Bartholomew Neil is thirty-eight and lost. He’s lived his whole life, up till a few weeks ago, with his devoted mum, but now she has died Bartholomew has no idea how to be on his own. His grief counsellor, Wendy, says he needs to find his flock and leave the nest. But how does a man whose whole life has been grounded learn how to fly? So Bartholomew turns to Richard Gere, the man his mum adored from afar, in the hope he can offer some answers. In Bartholomew’s letters to Richard Gere he explores philosophy and friendship, alien abduction and the mystery of women. The letters also reveal his heart-breaking need of a family, but when Bartholomew does manage to assemble a motley family of sorts, he seems to have taken on more than he bargained for . . . Matthew Quick is the author of The Silver Linings Playbook, which was made into an Academy Award-winning film, and the young adult novels Sorta Like A Rock Star, Boy 21 and Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock. His work has been translated into more than twenty languages and has received a PEN/Hemingway Award Honorable Mention, among other accolades. He is married to the novelist and pianist Alicia Bessette.

Have you ever had a strange urge to jump from a tall building, or steer your car into oncoming traffic? You are not alone. In this captivating fusion of science, history and personal memoir, writer David Adam explores the weird thoughts that exist within every mind, and how they drive millions of us towards obsessions and compulsions. David has suffered from OCD for twenty years, and The Man Who Couldn’t Stop is his unflinchingly honest attempt to understand the condition and his experiences. What might lead an Ethiopian schoolgirl to eat a wall of her house, piece by piece; or a pair of brothers to die beneath an avalanche of household junk that they had compulsively hoarded? At what point does a harmless idea, a snowflake in a clear summer sky, become a blinding blizzard of unwanted thoughts? Drawing on the latest research on the brain, as well as historical accounts of patients and their treatments, this is a book that will challenge the way you think about what is normal, and what is mental illness. Told with fierce clarity, humour and urgent lyricism, this extraordinary book is both the haunting story of a personal nightmare, and a fascinating doorway into the darkest corners of our minds. Dr David Adam is a writer and editor at Nature, the world’s top scientific journal. He was a specialist correspondent on the Guardian for seven years, writing on science, medicine and the environment.

Life Drawing

Some Desperate Glory

Robin Black

Max Egremont

From the author of If I Loved You, I Would Tell You This, Life Drawing is a fierce, honest and moving story of married life – its betrayals, intimacies, and secrets

After his highly successful history of Prussia, the authorized biographer of Siegfried Sassoon examines the First World War through the lives of its poets

Augusta and Owen have taken the leap. Leaving the city and its troubling memories behind, they have moved to the country for a solitary life where they can devote their days to each other and their art, where Gus can paint and Owen can write.

The First World War devastated Europe, a hundred years ago, but it also inspired profound poetry – words in which the atmosphere and landscape of battle are evoked perhaps more vividly than anywhere else.

But the facts of a past betrayal prove harder to escape than urban life. Ancient jealousies and resentments haunt their marriage and their rural paradise. When Alison Hemmings moves into the empty house next door, Gus is drawn out of isolation, despite her own qualms and Owen’s suspicions. As the new relationship deepens, the lives of the two households grow more and more tightly intertwined. It will take only one new arrival to intensify emotions to breaking point. Fierce, honest and astonishingly gripping, Life Drawing is a novel as beautiful and unsparing as the human heart. Robin Black is the author of the critically acclaimed short story collection If I Loved You, I Would Tell You This, a finalist for the Frank O’Connor Short Story Prize. Her stories and essays have appeared in numerous publications. She lives with her family in Philadelphia.

The poets – many of whom were killed – show not only the war’s tragedy but the hopes and disappointments of a generation of men. In Some Desperate Glory, historian and biographer Max Egremont gives us a transfiguring look at the life and work of eleven poets who fought at the front. Some Desperate Glory will include a chronological anthology of poems, with linking commentary, telling the story of the war through their art. This unique volume unites the poetry and the history of the war, so often treated separately, granting readers the pride, strife, and sorrow of the individual soldier’s experience coupled with a panoramic view of the war’s toll on an entire nation. Max Egremont was born in 1948 and studied Modern History at Oxford University. As well as four novels, he is the author of The Cousins and Balfour: A Life of Arthur James Balfour. His acclaimed biography of Siegfried Sassoon was published in 2005 and his most recent work is Forgotten Land: Journeys Among the Ghosts of East Prussia

The Unwitting

Lost For Words

Ellen Feldman

Edward St Aubyn

The stunning new novel from acclaimed author Ellen Feldman, for fans of Ian McEwan’s Sweet Tooth and Jennie Rooney’s Red Joan

From the bestselling author of the Patrick Melrose novels, this is a thought-provoking and entertaining insight into a sniping world of literature, celebrity culture and ambition

Betrayal comes in many forms . . . At the height of the Cold War, words are weapons and secrecy reigns. These are challenging times to be a writer and a wife, as Nell Benjamin knows only too well. One bright November day in 1963, the dazzling young president arrives in Texas and Nell receives a phonecall that overturns the world as she knows it. In the shocking aftermath, whilst America mourns, Nell must come to terms with both a tragedy and a betrayal, one that shatters every illusion of the man she thought she knew better than anyone else. Resonant, illuminating and utterly absorbing, The Unwitting is about the lies we tell, the secrets we keep and the power of both truth and love. Ellen Feldman is the author of four novels, including Next to Love and Scottsboro, which was shortlisted for the Orange Prize. She lives in New York City and East Hampton, New York, with her husband.

Each of the judges of the Elysian Prize for literature has a reason for accepting the job. For the chairman, MP Malcolm Craig, it is backbench boredom, media personality Jo Cross is on the hunt for a ‘relevant’ novel, and Oxbridge academic Vanessa Shaw is determined to discover good writing. Over the next few weeks they must read hundreds of submissions to find the best book of the year, and so the judges spar, cajole and bargain in order that their chosen title gets the recognition it deserves. Meanwhile, a host of authors are desperate for Elysian glory, including brilliant writer and serial heart-breaker Katherine Burns, lovelorn debut novelist Sam Black, and Sonny, convinced that his magnum opus, The Mulberry Elephant, will take the literary world by storm. Lost for Words is razor-sharp and fabulously entertaining. It cuts to the quick of some of the deepest questions about the place of art in our celebrity-obsessed culture, and asks how we can ever hope to recognize real talent when everyone has an agenda. Edward St Aubyn was born in London in 1960. His superbly acclaimed Patrick Melrose novels are Never Mind, Bad News, Some Hope, Mother’s Milk (shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2006) and At Last. He is also the author of the novels A Clue to the Exit and On the Edge.

Eyrie

In the Light of What We Know

Tim Winton

Zia Haider Rahman

From the Booker-shortlisted author of Dirt Music and Cloudstreet, Eyrie is a heartstoppingly moving novel for our times.

A bold, epic debut novel set during the war and financial crisis that defined the beginning of our century

Tom Keely has lost his bearings. His reputation in ruins, he finds himself holed up in a flat at the top of a grim highrise, looking down on the world he’s fallen out of love with.

An investment banker approaching forty, in the midst of his career collapsing and marriage unravelling, receives a surprise visitor at his West London townhouse. Confronting the dishevelled figure of a South Asian male carrying a backpack, the banker recognizes a long-lost college friend.

He has cut himself off, and intends to keep it that way, until one day he runs into some neighbours: a woman from his past and her introverted young boy. The encounter shakes him up in a way he doesn’t understand and, despite himself, Keely lets them in. But the pair come trailing a dangerous past of their own, and Keely is soon immersed in a world that threatens to destroy everything he has learnt to love. Eyrie is a heart-stopping novel written with breath-taking tenderness. Funny, confronting, exhilarating and haunting, it asks how, in an impossibly compromised world, we can ever hope to do the right thing. Tim Winton was born in Perth in 1960. His work includes novels, collections of stories, non-fiction and books for children. He has won the Miles Franklin Award three times, and been twice shortlisted for the Booker Prize, for The Riders (1995) and Dirt Music (2002).

From here, the novel takes us on a journey of exhilarating reach and scope, ranging over Kabul, London, New York, Islamabad, Oxford, Princeton, and Sylhet, and dealing with love, philosophy, identity, finance, mathematics, cognitive science, literature, and war. Its framework is an age-old story: the friendship of two men and the betrayal of one by the other. But within this framework the author has touched down on everything important in our young century and has translated all this into his fiction. Set against the breaking of nations and beneath the clouds of economic recession, the novel chronicles the lives of people carrying unshakeable legacies of class, culture, and faith as they struggle to tame their futures and as one man attempts to climb clear of his wrong beginnings. Born in rural Bangladesh, Zia Haider Rahman was educated at Balliol College, Oxford, and at Cambridge, Munich, and Yale Universities. He has worked as an investment banker on Wall Street and as an international human-rights lawyer.

The Vacationers

There Will Be No More Nonsense

Emma Straub

Lorraine Mariner

‘Emma Straub’s The Vacationers leaves you smiling for days’ Maria Semple, author of Orange Prize-shortlisted Where’d You Go, Bernadette

An exciting new poetry collection from Forward Prize-shortlisted poet Lorraine Mariner

Two weeks in a remote island villa with America’s most dysfunctional family – what could possibly go wrong? The Posts are going on their first family vacation in years, and it’s going to be a special one: Jim and Franny are taking their daughter Sylvia, son Bobby and his girlfriend, and Franny’s best friend Charles and his husband, all the way to Mallorca for two weeks of the sort of relaxation, culture and cuisine that only Europe can offer. But there are problems. After a transgression with a twenty-three-year-old editorial assistant, Jim has been unceremoniously sacked from his job, and now his and Franny’s marriage is on the rocks. Charles and Lawrence are feeling divided over their future, Bobby is mired in debt problems and stuck in a relationship that’s pulling in opposite directions and his girlfriend Carmen, super-fit personal trainer and, at forty-something, far too old for Bobby, seems to have realized her mistake. As for Sylvia, she’s eighteen, about to go to college, and determined to lose her virginity before she gets there . . .

Furniture, Lorraine Mariner’s debut collection, was shortlisted for both the Forward Prize for Best First Collection and the Seamus Heaney Centre Poetry Prize. Her poetry is sharp, quirky and skilful. Praise for Furniture: ‘Pleasingly direct and conversational, almost aggressively anti-poetic. The poems are spoken in the voice of a young woman who inches her way through a blizzard of bewilderment at life’s unpredictable twists and turns’ Lorraine Mariner was born in 1974 and lives in London where she works at the Poetry Library, Southbank Centre. Her collection Furniture was published by Picador in 2009 and shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best First Collection and the Seamus Heaney Centre Poetry Prize.

The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules

A silent community. A murderer among them

The International Bestseller

As the snow falls thickly on Newcastle, the shouts and laughter of Christmas revellers break the muffled silence. Detective Joe Ashworth and his daughter Jessie are swept along in the jostling crowd onto the Metro. But when the train is stopped due to the bad weather, and the other passengers fade into the swirling snow, Jessie notices that an old lady hasn’t left the train: Margaret Krukowski has been fatally stabbed. Why would anyone want to harm this reserved, elegant lady? Arriving at the scene, DI Vera Stanhope is relieved to have an excuse to escape the holiday festivities. Soon Vera and Joe are on their way to the south Northumberland town of Mardle, where Margaret lived, to begin their inquiry. Then, just days later, a second woman is murdered. Vera knows that to find the key to this new killing she needs to understand what had been troubling Margaret so much before she died – before another life is lost. Ann Cleeves is the author behind ITV’s Vera and BBC One’s Shetland. Her books have now sold over one million copies worldwide. In 2006 Ann was awarded the Duncan Lawrie Dagger (CWA Gold Dagger) for Best Crime Novel, for Raven Black, the first book in her Shetland series. In 2012 she was inducted into the CWA Crime Thriller Awards Hall of Fame. Ann lives in North Tyneside.

The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules is an incredibly quirky, humorous and warm-hearted story about growing old disgracefully – and breaking all the rules along the way! 79-year-old Martha Andersson dreams of escaping her care home and robbing a bank. She has no intention of spending the rest of her days in an armchair and is determined to fund her way to a much more exciting lifestyle. Along with her four oldest friends – otherwise known as the League of Pensioners – Martha decides to rebel against all of the rules imposed upon them. Together, they cause uproar with their antics protesting against early bedtimes and plasticky meals. As the elderly friends become more daring, they hatch a cunning plan to break out of the dreary care home and land themselves in a far more attractive Stockholm establishment. With the aid of their Zimmer frames, they resolve to stand up for old aged pensioners everywhere – Robin Hood style. And that’s when the adventure really takes off . . . Perfect for fans of The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg is a Swedish author who has written seventeen books in several genres, including popular science, cartoon, children’s and historical fiction.

The Killing 3

Cell

David Hewson

Robin Cook

A family in turmoil. A country in crisis. All debts must be settled

‘The master of the medical thriller’ New York Times

Detective Inspector for homicide, Sarah Lund, is contacted by old flame Mathias Borch from National Intelligence. Borch fears that what first appeared to be a random killing at the docks is the beginning of an assassination attempt on Prime Minister Troels Hartmann. The murder draws attention towards the shipping and oil giant, Zeeland, run by billionaire Robert Zeuthen.

George Wilson, M.D., a radiology resident in Los Angeles, is about to enter a profession on the brink of an enormous paradigm shift, foreshadowing a vastly different role for doctors everywhere. A new smartphone app is being developed that is far more than a mere reference tool, rather it is a fully customizable personal physician capable of diagnosing and treating patients more efficiently than the real thing. It is called iDoc.

When Zeuthen’s 9-year-old daughter Emilie is kidnapped, the investigation takes on a different dimension, as it soon becomes clear that her disappearance is linked to the murder of a young girl in Jutland some years earlier. Lund needs to make sense of the clues left by Emilie’s perpetrator before it’s too late. And can she finally face the demons that have long haunted her? ‘Turns TV gold into literary gold’ Daily Telegraph David Hewson is the author of ten novels in the highly acclaimed Detective Nic Costa series set mostly in Rome, which are currently being adapted for TV. David has also written a new detective crime series set in Amsterdam, commencing with The House of Dolls, publishing in 2014. Formerly a journalist working for the Sunday Times, The Times and the Independent, he lives in Kent.

George’s initial collision with this incredible innovation is devastating. He awakens one morning to find his fiancée dead in bed alongside him, not long after she participated in an iDoc beta test. Then several of his patients die after undergoing imaging procedures. All of them had been part of the same beta test. Is it possible that iDoc is being subverted by hackers – and that the US government is involved in a cover-up? Despite threats to both his career and his freedom, George relentlessly seeks the truth, knowing that if he’s right, the consequences could be lethal. Doctor and author Robin Cook is widely credited with introducing the word ‘medical’ to the thriller genre, and over twenty years after the publication of his breakthrough novel, Coma, he continues to dominate the category he created. Robin Cook has successfully combined medical fact with fiction to produce over twenty-seven international bestsellers, including Outbreak, Terminal, Contagion and this, Cell, is his most recent.

Fairfield Hall

Game of Death

Margaret Dickinson

David Hosp

A matter of honour. A sense of duty. A time for courage

When a dark and thrilling fantasy becomes a terrifying reality

Ruthlessly ambitious Ambrose Constantine is determined that his daughter, Annabel, shall marry into the nobility. A fish merchant and self-made man, he has only his wealth to buy his way into society.

‘The first thing I notice is her face. It is so perfect it seems unlikely that it could ever exist in the real world. Her white skin is flawless, her features perfectly symmetrical, her lips red and wet and full, parting with every gasp. It is her eyes that hold me, though. They are a shade of blue I have never seen, with flecks of gold and crystal, and they are so penetrating it feels as though they are reaching out straight through his eyes into mine, begging me for . . . something I can’t quite make out. It’s like those eyes have captured the dialectic of every human emotion that ever mattered – love and hate; ecstasy and terror; comfort and jealousy – and rolled them into a single glance that could level entire cities. I am slaughtered.’

During the London Season, Annabel is courted by James Lyndon, the Earl of Fairfield, whose country estate is only a few miles from her grandfather’s farm. Believing herself truly loved at last, Annabel accepts his offer of marriage. It is only when she arrives at Fairfield Hall that she realizes the true reason behind James’s proposal and the part her scheming father has played. Throughout the years that follow, Annabel experiences both heartache and joy, and the birth of her son should finally secure the future of the Fairfield Estate. But there are others who lay claim to the inheritance, igniting a feud that will only reach its resolution in the trenches of the First World War. Margaret Dickinson is the author of top twenty bestsellers Jenny’s War and The Clippie Girls. Her ambition to be a writer began early and she had her first novel published at the age of twenty-five. This was followed by twenty-seven further titles, many of which are set in the heart of her home country. Most recently, a visit to the magnificent Gunby Hall, Lincolnshire, was the inspiration for Fairfield Hall.

Fly Away

Banquet for the Damned

Kristin Hannah

Adam Nevill

How do you hold yourself together when your world has fallen apart . . .

A reissue of award-winning horror author Adam Nevill’s first novel

Celebrity news reporter and presenter, Tully Hart, has hit rock bottom. Kate Ryan had been her best friend for more than thirty years. They’d lived, laughed, danced and cried together. Kate had been her anchor, and now Tully feels cast adrift – not knowing how she is going to survive.

Few believed Professor Coldwell could commune with spirits. But in Scotland’s oldest university town something has passed from darkness into light. Now, the young are being haunted by night terrors and those who are visited disappear. This is certainly not a place for outsiders, especially at night. So what chance do a rootless musician and burned-out explorer have of surviving their entanglement with an ageless supernatural evil and the ruthless cult that worships it? This chilling occult thriller is both an homage to the great age of British ghost stories and a pacy modern tale of diabolism and witchcraft.

Kate’s daughter, Marah, was only sixteen years old when her mother died. Consumed with guilt over the fights they’d had during the last months of Kate’s life, Marah runs away and becomes a drop-out in society, maintaining no contact with her family. Tully’s mother, Cloud, a child of the Sixties, has lived in a world of her own and has been dependent on drugs for most of her adult life. She now wants to prove that she can help her daughter. But what will it take for Tully to forgive? And then something momentous happens which causes each one of them to realize what they’ve done, and what they have become.

Adam Nevill was born in Birmingham, England, in 1969 and grew up in England and New Zealand. A graduate of the University of St Andrews Masters programme, he is the author of Banquet for the Damned, Apartment 16, The Ritual, Last Days and House of Small Shadows. He has twice won the August Derleth award for best horror novel.

Fly Away is the story of three women who have lost their way and need each other – plus a miracle – to transform their lives. Kristin Hannah is the New York Times number one bestselling author of eighteen novels. She is a former lawyer turned writer and is the mother of one son. She and her husband live in the Pacific Northwest near Seattle, and Hawaii. Her first novel published in the UK, Night Road, was one of eight books selected as a 2011 TV Book Club Summer Read.

In the company of the intriguing and awkward Bakker, Vos finds himself drawn back into the life of a detective. A life which he thought he had left behind.

Shot Through The Heart

The Voices

Matt Cain

F. R. Tallis

The Silver Screen had never shone as bright . . .

The third novel from a master of horror. When they speak, you listen . . .

Mia Sinclair is the first lady of love, a beautiful goddess known for her romantic roles on the silver screen. But in reality life does not imitate art and love is not as easily found in the real world as it is in the movies.

In the scorching summer of 1976 – the hottest since records began – Christopher Norton, his wife Laura and their young daughter Faye settle into their new home in north London. The faded glory of the Victorian house is the perfect place for Norton, a composer of film soundtracks, to build a recording studio of his own.

Leo Henderson is the Brit living in LA, enjoying the lifestyle and photographing the stars when they least expect it. He knows that being a paparazzi has its pitfalls, but he’s living the Hollywood dream and enjoying every minute of it. Billy Spencer, the handsome screen idol of the moment, is sexy, tanned and hiding a secret that could easily end his career as a leading man. When Mia meets Leo, the sparks fly. But is dating a paparazzi the biggest mistake of her life? And as Mia and Billy look to star in the biggest movie of their careers, will their smouldering on-screen relationship destroy a chance of happiness before it begins? Shot Through the Heart is Matt Cain’s debut novel, a Hollywood tale of romance, heartbreak and the lengths some will go to maintain that unblemished movie star image.

But soon in the long, oppressively hot nights, Laura begins to hear something through the crackle of the baby monitor. First, a knocking sound. Then came the voices. For Norton, the voices mark an exciting opportunity. Putting his work to one side, he begins the project of a lifetime – a grand symphony incorporating the voices – and becomes increasingly obsessed with one voice in particular. A man who is determined to make himself heard . . . Who are the voices? And what – or who – do they want? F. R. Tallis is a writer and clinical psychologist. His horror novels are The Forbidden, a gothic story set in nineteenthcentury Paris, The Sleep Room, about a pioneering, controversial new therapy, and The Voices.

Matt Cain was born in Bury brought up in Bolton. He spent ten years making arts and entertainment programmes for ITV before stepping in front of the camera in 2010 to become Channel 4 News’ first Culture Editor. Now a fulltime writer, Shot Through the Heart is his first novel. He lives in London.

Sealed With A Kiss

The Hidden Girl

Rachel Lucas

Louise Millar

This funny, big-hearted novel is the perfect read for fans of Carole Matthews, Trisha Ashley and Katie Fforde

When a country life dream turns into a nightmare . . . Hannah Riley and her musician husband, Will, hope that a move to the Suffolk countryside will promize a fresh start.

Kate is dumped on her best friend’s wedding day by the world’s most boring boyfriend, Ian. She’s mostly cross because he got in first – until she remembers she’s now homeless as well as jobless. Rather than move back home to her ultra-bossy mother, Kate takes a job on the remote Scottish island of Auchenmor as an all-round Girl Friday. Her first day is pretty much a disaster: she falls over smack bang at the feet of her grouchy new boss, Roddy, Laird of the Island. Unimpressed with her townie ways, he makes it clear she’s got a lot to prove.

Hannah, a human rights worker, is desperate for a child and she hopes that this new life will realise her dream. Yet when the snow comes, Will is working in London and Hannah is cut off in their remote village. Life in Tornley turns out to be far from idyllic. Who are the threatening figures who lurk near their property at night? And why is her neighbour so keen to see them leave? Plus Will’s behaviour is severely testing the bonds of trust.

Island life has no room for secrets, but prickly Roddy’s keeping something to himself. When his demanding ex-girlfriend appears back on the island, Kate’s budding friendship with her new boss comes to an abrupt end. What is Fiona planning – and can she be stopped before it’s too late?

Hannah has spent her professional life doing the right thing for other people. But as she starts to uncover a terrible crime, she realizes she can no longer do that without putting everything she’s ever wanted at risk. But if she does nothing, the next victim could be her . . .

Rachael Lucas is a mother, gardener, coveter of beautiful things, outgoing introvert, reader, bed lover, early morning riser, night owl and a sleep deprived mass of contradictions. She wrote her first (astoundingly awful) novel at the age of 11, bashing away every night after school on a portable typewriter. It was rejected (very kindly) by a publisher.

Louise Millar was brought up in Scotland. She began her journalism career in mainly music and film magazines, working as a sub-editor for Kerrang!, Smash Hits, the NME and Empire. She later moved into features, working as a commissioning editor on women’s magazines. She has written for Marie Claire, Red, Psychologies, Stella (Telegraph magazine), the Independent, the Observer, Glamour, Stylist and Eve. She lives in London with her husband and daughters.

Reckoning

The Summer Without You

Kerry Wilkinson

Karen Swan

One girl. One reckoning. One destiny

A gorgeously escapist summer read from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Christmas at Tiffany’s

In the village of Martindale, hundreds of miles north of the new English capital of Windsor, sixteen-year-old Silver Blackthorn takes the Reckoning. This coming-of-age test not only decides her place in society – Elite, Member, Inter or Trog – but also determines that Silver is to become an Offering for King Victor.

Rowena Tipton isn’t looking for a new life, just a new adventure, something to while away the months as her long-term boyfriend presses pause on their relationship before they become engaged. But when a chance encounter at a New York wedding leads to an audition for a coveted houseshare in The Hamptons – Manhattan’s elite beach scene – suddenly a new life is exactly what she’s got.

But these are uncertain times and no-one really knows what happens to the teenagers who disappear into Windsor Castle. Is being an Offering the privilege everyone assumes it to be, or do the walls of the castle have something to hide?

Stretching before her is a summer with three eclectic housemates, long days on white-sand ocean beaches and parties on gilded tennis courts. But high rewards bring high stakes and Rowena soon finds herself caught in the crossfire of a vicious intimidation campaign. Alone for the first time in her adult life, she has no-one to turn to but a stranger who is everything she doesn’t want – but possibly everything she needs.

Trapped in a maze of ancient corridors, Silver finds herself in a warped world of suspicion where it is difficult to know who to trust and who to fear. The one thing Silver does know is that she must find a way out . . . Kerry Wilkinson was one of two things as a child. If you ask him, he was a well-meaning, slightly hyperactive young man with an active imagination. If you ask his mother and/ or teachers, he was a bit of a pain in the bum. Before the age of flat screen televisions, laptops, mobile phones, hover boards and the Internet, there were BBC B Microcomputers and there were real books with actual paper pages. Really! Kerry grew up playing ropey-looking computer games that you needed a keyboard for, being rubbish at football, and reading science fiction and fantasy novels.

Karen Swan began her career in fashion journalism before giving it all up to raise her three children and an ADHD puppy, and to pursue her ambition of becoming a writer. She lives in the forest in Sussex, writing her books in a treehouse overlooking the Downs. Her first novel, Players, was published in 2010, followed by Prima Donna. In 2011 Karen’s third novel, Christmas at Tiffany’s, was a Sunday Times Top Ten Bestseller.

The ‘Silver Blackthorn‘ trilogy is Kerry’s first fantasy work. His other series, the ‘Jessica Daniel’ crime books, are also published by Pan Macmillan. Publication date: 22 MAY 14 ISBN: 9781447235309 Price: £7.99 Format: B Format Paperback Page Extent: 416 Rights: WOR

Black Valley

The Time of their Lives

Charlotte Williams

Maeve Haran

The second book featuring Jessica Mayhew

From the bestselling author of Having It All

Jessica Mayhew has a new client at her psychotherapy practice. Artist Pandora Powell is in shock following the death of her mother, Ursula, who was murdered during the theft of a valuable painting at her studio. And Jess has problems of her own, as she struggles to adjust to the demands of being a single parent.

Haven’t you heard? Sixty is the new forty . . . Each month best friends Claudia, Sal, Ella and Laura meet for drinks, celebrating forty-five years of friendship. They know each other and their lives inside out. Their ambitions, careers, husbands, lovers, children, hopes, fears, the paths taken and not taken . . .

Pandora is a beautiful but shy and vulnerable young woman who has grown up in the shadow of her famous ancestors, the Welsh painters Augustus and Gwen John, and under the wing of her twin sister, Isobel. There is a suggestion that Isobel’s husband, art dealer Blake Thomas, might be responsible for Ursula’s murder. Blake is riding high with the success of his latest protégé, reclusive ex-miner and wouldbe revolutionary Hefin Morris, who is fast becoming the enfant terrible of the contemporary art world.

Sal had spent a lifetime building a career as a successful magazine editor but she hadn’t banked on the one thing over which she had no control. Claudia loved her urban existence – the thought of the country sent shivers down her spine. But, as many women will know, other people’s needs always seem to come first . . . Ella is ready to try something different. But she hadn’t bargained on quite such a radical change . . .

When Blake too dies in mysterious circumstances, Jessica is drawn into a quest that not only leads her into mortal danger but also threatens to destroy her entire moral code as a therapist.

Laura succumbed to the oldest cliché in the book. But it didn’t make it any easier to accept. Outside of the supportive world of their friendships, they find their lives are far from what they expected – the generation that wanted to change the world didn’t bargain on getting old.

Black Valley tells the story of how Jessica and Pandora, as therapist and client, slip between their different roles, becoming caught in a net from which neither can escape – except through treachery and betrayal.

Maeve Haran is an Oxford Law graduate and former television producer. She took up writing after the birth of her second child and combines fiction with journalism and writing short stories. She has three children and lives with her husband in North London.

Charlotte Williams studied philosophy at university, and afterwards worked as a journalist, writing for magazines and making documentaries for the BBC.

The dramatic conclusion to the Glasgow Trilogy from the award-winning author of The Necessary Death of Lewis Winter and How a Gunman Says Goodbye

A stunning tale of love and survival against all odds, for fans of Cold Mountain

This isn’t any other job. This, he intends, will be his last . . . It begins with two deaths: a money-man and a grass. Deaths that offer a unique opportunity to a man like Calum MacLean. A man who has finally had enough of killing. Meanwhile two of Glasgow’s biggest criminal organizations are at quiet, deadly war with one another. And as Detective Michael Fisher knows, the biggest – and bloodiest – manoeuvres are yet to come . . .

April 1943. In the bloody turmoil of war, John Easley, a journalist mourning his lost brother, is driven to expose a hidden and growing conflict: the Japanese invasion and occupation of Alaska’s Aleutian Islands. But when his plane is shot down he must either surrender or struggle to survive in a harsh wilderness. Three thousand miles to the south, Helen Easley cannot accept her husband’s disappearance – an absence that exposes her sheltered, untested life. Desperate to find and be reunited with him, she sets out on a remarkable journey from the safety of her Seattle home to the war in the north.

The stunning conclusion to Malcolm Mackay’s Glasgow Trilogy, The Sudden Arrival of Violence will return readers to the city’s underworld: a place of dark motives, dangerous allegiances and inescapable violence . . .

An evocative, richly-atmospheric tale of life and death, commitment and sacrifice, The Wind Is Not a River is a gripping story of survival that illuminates the fragility of life and the fierce power of love.

Malcolm Mackay was born and grew up in Stornoway, where he still lives. The Necessary Death of Lewis Winter, his much-lauded debut, was the first in the Glasgow Trilogy, set in the city’s underworld. It was shortlisted for the CWA John Creasey New Blood Dagger Award for Best Crime Debut of the Year, the Scottish First Book of the Year Award and voted Best Read by ITV3’s Specsavers Crime Thriller Club programme.

The Black-Eyed Blonde

The Burning

Benjamin Black

M. R. Hall

The new Philip Marlowe mystery from the Booker Prize winning John Banville, writing as Benjamin Black

A family tragedy. A buried secret. What lies hidden in the flames? A dense, bitterly cold fog has settled over the Wye Valley when Bristol Coroner Jenny Cooper is called to the scene of a dreadful tragedy: in the village of Blackstone Ley, a house has burned to the ground with three members of a family inside.

It is the early 1950s. In Los Angeles, Private Detective Philip Marlowe is as restless and lonely as ever, and business is a little slow. Then a new client arrives: young, beautiful, and expensively dressed, Clare Cavendish wants Marlowe to find her former lover, a man named Nico Peterson.

Though evidence of foul play is quickly uncovered, it isn’t long before the police investigation is drawn to a close. It seems certain that the fire was started by one of the victims, Ed Morgan, in a fit of jealous rage. But their infant son is still missing and Ed had left a message for his surviving wife, Kelly Hart, telling her that she would never find the child . . .

Soon Marlowe will find himself not only under the spell of the Black-Eyed Blonde but tangling with one of Bay City’s richest families – and developing a singular appreciation for how far they will go to protect their fortune . . . In this gripping and deeply evocative crime novel, Benjamin Black returns us to the dark, mesmerising world of Raymond Chandler’s The Long Goodbye and his singular detective Philip Marlowe, one of the most iconic and enduringly popular figures in crime fiction.

As Jenny prepares the inquest, she finds herself troubled by the official version of events. What could have provoked Ed’s murderous rampage? How might the other, guarded inhabitants of the village have been involved? And what could the connection be with the mysterious abduction of a little girl ten years ago?

Benjamin Black is the pen name of acclaimed author John Banville, who was born in Wexford, Ireland, in 1945. His novels have won numerous awards, including the Man Booker Prize in 2005 for The Sea. He lives in Dublin. Benjamin Black is the author of the ‘Quirke’ series, which has been adapted for BBC television, starring Gabriel Byrne.

The Investigation

The Lying-Down Room

Jung-myung Lee

Anna Jaquiery

Fukuoka Prison, 1944. Beyond the prison walls the war rages; inside a man is found brutally murdered

The first instalment in a striking debut crime series, set in Paris and featuring Commandant Serge Morel

Watanabe, a young guard with a passion for reading, is tasked with finding the killer. The victim, Sugiyama – also a guard – was feared and despised throughout the prison and investigations have barely begun when a powerful inmate confesses. But Watanabe is unconvinced, and as he interrogates both the suspect and Yun Dong-ju, a talented Korean poet, he begins to realize that the fearsome guard was not all he appeared to be . . .

Paris; in the stifling August heat, Commandant Serge Morel is called to a disturbing crime scene. An elderly woman has been murdered to the soundtrack of Faure’s Requiem, her body then grotesquely displayed.

As Watanabe unravels Sugiyama’s final months, he begins to discover what is really going on inside this dark and violent institution, which few inmates survive: a man who will stop at nothing to dig his way to freedom; a governor whose greed knows no limits; a little girl whose kite finds her an unlikely friend. And Yun Dong-ju – the poet whose works hold such beauty they can break the hardest of hearts. Jeong-myung Lee has sold hundreds of thousands of copies of his books in his native Korea. One, Deep Rooted Tree, was made into a popular TV series.

At first this strange case seems to offer few clues, and Morel has problems of his own. His father – always a great force in his life – is beginning to succumb to senility; and he is unsettled by the reappearance of the beautiful Mathilde, the woman he once loved. Only origami can help calm the detective and focus his thoughts on this troubling crime. As the investigation progresses, the key suspects to emerge are a middle-aged man and a mute teenage boy who have been delivering religious pamphlets in the city’s suburbs. But as more elderly ladies are targeted, Morel will find his enquiries leading him back into the past, from the French countryside to Soviet Russia – and to two young boys with the most terrible of stories to tell . . .

Chi-Young Kim is the celebrated translator of the Man Asian Booker Prize-winning international bestseller Please Look After Mother.

Anna Jaquiery is of French-Malaysian descent and grew up in Europe and Asia. She has worked as a journalist in several countries, starting out as a freelance reporter in Russia. She is currently based in Melbourne with her husband and two sons. The Lying-Down Room is her debut novel and the first in a series to feature Commandant Serge Morel.

A stunning atmospheric crime thriller set in New Orleans, 1919 and inspired by a real life serial killer

A great war. A powerful love. An impossible choice

New Orleans, 1919. As a dark serial killer – the Axeman – stalks the city, three individuals set out to unmask him . . . Detective Lieutenant Michael Talbot is heading up the official investigation, yet is struggling to find leads.

Now a newly-freed man, Luca finds himself working with the mafia, whose need to solve the mystery of the Axeman is every bit as urgent as the authorities’. Meanwhile, Ida, a secretary at the Pinkerton Detective Agency, stumbles across a clue which lures her and her musician friend, Lewis ‘Louis’ Armstrong, to the case and into terrible danger . . . As Michael, Luca and Ida each draw closer to discovering the killer’s identity, the Axeman himself will issue a challenge to the people of New Orleans: play jazz or risk becoming the next victim.

As the war grips tighter and bombs fall down upon the streets, the stakes for the couple grow ever higher.

The Bone Seeker

The Human Flies

M. J. McGrath

Hans Olav Lahlum

The coldest setting. The darkest crime

The first mystery in a hugely compelling, bestselling Norwegian crime trilogy

Summer in the High Arctic. When young Inuit Martha Salliaq goes missing from her settlement, her teacher, ex-Polar Bear Hunter Edie Kiglatuk, enlists her police friend Derek Palliser to help search for the girl. But once a body is discovered floating in a polluted lake on the site of a decommissioned radar station, Edie’s worst fears are realized. As the investigation into Martha’s murder begins, the Inuit community – and Martha’s devastated family – are convinced the culprits lie within the encampment of soldiers stationed nearby. Before long Sergeant Palliser finds evidence linking two of the men with the dead girl. But Edie and local lawyer Sonia Gutierrez remain unconvinced. Why are the military quite so willing to cooperate with the investigation? What has Edie’s boyfriend Chip Muloon, a simple academic researcher, got to hide? And why has the lake where Martha’s body was found been suddenly cordoned off? A gripping, atmospheric thriller set in the Arctic’s long white nights, in The Bone Seeker the very personal murder of a young girl will explode a decades-long tale of the darkest betrayal. M. J. McGrath was born in Essex. She writes for the national press and is a regular broadcaster on radio. Her first novel in the Edie Kiglatuk series – White Heat – was longlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger Award and was followed by The Boy in the Snow. The Bone Seeker is the third book in the series.

Oslo, 1968. Ambitious young Detective Inspector Kolbjørn Kristiansen, known as K2, is called to an apartment block, where a man has been found murdered. The victim, Harald Olesen, was a legendary hero of the Resistance during the Nazi occupation and at first it is difficult to imagine who could have wanted him dead. But as K2 begins to investigate, it seems clear that the murderer could only be one of Olesen’s fellow tenants in the building. Soon, with the help of Patricia – a brilliant young woman confined to a wheelchair following a terrible accident – K2 will begin to untangle the web of lies surrounding Olesen’s neighbours; each of whom, it seems, had their own reasons for wanting Olesen dead. Their interviews, together with new and perplexing clues, will lead K2 and Patricia to dark events that took place during the Second World War . . . Hans Olav Lahlum is a Norwegian crime author, historian, chess player and politician. The books that make up his crime series, featuring Criminal Investigator Kolbjørn Kristiansen (known as K2) and his precocious young assistant Patricia, are bestsellers in Norway.

Angelica’s Smile

The Reckoning

Andrea Camilleri

Rennie Airth

This was a big mistake . . . Because he didn’t think at all about the investigation, the burglars, or Mr. Z. He thought about Angelica . . .

The fourth book in the acclaimed Inspector John Madden series

When Vigata’s elite are targeted in a series of perfectly executed burglaries, Inspector Montalbano reluctantly takes the case. It isn’t long though before the irascible detective finds himself taken with one of the victims, the captivatingly beautiful young Angelica. But as Montalbano’s growing attraction to Angelica begins to consume him, a series of dangerous, anonymous letters start to arrive, threatening not only his relationship with his girlfriend Livia, but the Inspector’s entire career . . . With the allure of Angelica ever in his mind, his relationship with Livia crumbling, and his job under threat, Montalbano must focus his mind to solve this complex investigation before it is too late . . . Andrea Camilleri is one of Italy’s most famous contemporary writers. The ‘Inspector Montalbano’ series has been translated into thirty-two languages and was adapted for Italian television, screened on BBC4. The Potter’s Field, the thirteenth book in the series, was awarded the Crime Writers’ Association’s International Dagger for the best crime novel translated into English. He lives in Rome.

The Second World War has ended, leaving a bruised and fragile peace. But this tranquillity is threatened when a shocking murder takes place in the Sussex countryside. Before long, police experts discover a link to another, earlier, killing hundreds of miles away . . . While Scotland Yard detective Billy Styles struggles to find a link between these two murders, a strange twist of fate brings former Detective Inspector John Madden into the investigations. As the victim count rises it becomes clear that to catch this serial killer Madden, Styles and young policewoman Detective Constable Lily Poole must act quickly. But Madden remains haunted by the mysteries at the heart of the case. Why was his name in a letter the second target had been penning, just before he died? Could the real clue to these perplexing murders lie within the victims’ pasts? And within his own? Rennie Airth was born in South Africa and has worked as a foreign correspondent for Reuters. The first novel in his John Madden series, River of Darkness, was published in 1999 to huge critical acclaim, was shortlisted for four crime fiction awards and won the Grand Prix de Littérature Policière in France. River of Darkness was followed by The Blood-Dimmed Tide, the CWA Ellis Peters Award shortlisted The Dead of Winter and now The Reckoning.

Book one in an epic fantasy of intrigue and empire, for fans of George R.R. Martin and Douglas Hulick

Wars end. But hatred, guilt, and devotion can endure beyond the grave

The circle is closing. The stakes are high. And old truths will live again . . . The Emperor has been murdered, leaving the Annurian Empire in turmoil. Now his progeny must bury their grief and prepare to unmask a conspiracy. His son Valyn, training for the empire’s deadliest fighting force, hears the news an ocean away. He expected a challenge, but after several ‘accidents’ and a dying soldier’s warning, he realizes his life is also in danger. Yet before Valyn can take action, he must survive the mercenaries’ brutal final initiation. Meanwhile, the Emperor’s daughter, Minister Adare, hunts her father’s murderer in the capital itself. Court politics can be fatal, but she needs justice. And Kaden, heir to an empire, studies in a remote monastery. Here, the Blank God’s disciples teach their harsh ways – which Kaden must master to unlock their ancient powers. When an imperial delegation arrives, he’s learnt enough to perceive evil intent. But will this keep him alive, as long-hidden powers make their move?

With the Covenant War over, the Office of Naval Intelligence faces old grievances rising again to threaten Earth. The angry, bitter colonies, still with scores to settle from the insurrection put on hold for thirty years, now want justice – and so does a man whose life was torn apart by ONI when his daughter was abducted for the SPARTAN-II program. Black ops squad Kilo-Five find their loyalties tested beyond breaking point when the father of their Spartan comrade, still searching for the truth about her disappearance, prepares to glass Earth’s cities to get an answer. How far will Kilo-Five go to stop him? And will he be able to live with the truth when he finds it? The painful answer lies with a man long dead, and a conscience that still survives in the most unlikely, undiscovered place.

The Walking Dead: Fall of the Governor Part Two Jay Bonansinga, Robert Kirkman

Valour John Gwynne

The final instalment in the bestselling ‘Walking Dead’ novelizations

The story continues – the follow-up to the critically-acclaimed debut, Malice

The Walking Dead series of original novels, set in the universe of Robert Kirkman’s iconic comic, reaches its crescendo in The Fall of the Governor, Part Two. In Rise of the Governor, über-villain Philip Blake journeyed from his humble beginnings directly into the dark heart of the zombie apocalypse, and became the self-proclaimed leader of a small town called Woodbury. In Book Two, The Road to Woodbury, an innocent traveller named Lilly Caul wound up in the terrifying thrall of Phillip Blake’s twisted, violent dictatorship within Woodbury’s ever-tightening barricades.

The Banished Lands are torn by war as the army of High King Nathair sweeps the realm challenging all who oppose his holy crusade. Allied with the manipulative Queen Rhin of Cambren, there are few who can stand against him.

In The Fall of the Governor, Part One, classic characters from both the comic and television series, including Rick, Michonne, and Glenn, finally made their appearance in the Walking Dead novel series, only to discover that the Governor is a very dangerous enemy.

Meanwhile, the young warrior Corban flees from his conquered homeland, avoiding warbands, giants and the vicious wolven of the mountains. And all the while Corban must battle to become the man that everyone believes him to be – the Bright Star and saviour of the Banished Lands.

Now, after a pulse-pounding series of events, the Governor and Rick face off one last time. Only one of them will be left standing . . .

In the Otherworld dark forces scheme to bring a host of the Fallen into the world of flesh to end the war with the Faithful, once and for all.

Robert Kirkman is an American comic book writer. His first creation was Battle Pope, which he co-wrote with Tony Moore, and in 2003 they began the comic book series The Walking Dead, set in a George A. Romero zombie-movieinspired world.

John Gwynne studied and lectured at Brighton University. He is married with four children and lives in Eastbourne, running a small family business rejuvenating vintage furniture. His first novel, Malice, was shortlisted for the David Gemmell Morningstar award for best debut fantasy. Valour is his second novel.

Jay Bonansinga is a thriller writer and screenwriter, whose novels have been translated into nine languages. His debut novel, The Black Mariah, was a finalist for a Bram Stoker award.

Left for dead – her kin fled and her country is overrun with enemies – Cywen fights to survive. But any chance of escape is futile once Nathair and his disquieting advisor Calidus realize who she is. For she may be their one chance at killing the biggest threat to their power.

Sworn in Steel

Rjurik Davidson

Douglas Hulick

A blend of science fantasy from a new voice in the genre – a compelling vision of a society on the verge of collapse

The next instalment in a wonderful fantasy of assassins, thieves and magic . . .

A hundred years ago, the Minotaurs saved Caeli-Amur from conquest. Now, three very different people may hold the keys to the city’s survival. Once, it is said, gods used magic to create reality, with powers that defied explanation. But the magic – or science, if one believes those who try to master the dangers of thaumaturgy – now seems more like a dream. Industrial workers for House Technis, farmers for House Arbor and fisher folk of House Marin eke out a living and hope for a better future. But the philosopher-assassin Kata plots a betrayal that will cost the lives of godlike Minotaurs; the ambitious bureaucrat Boris Autec rises through the ranks as his private life turns to ashes; and the idealistic seditionist Maximilan hatches a mad plot to unlock the fabled secrets of the Great Library of Caeli Enas, drowned in the fabled city at the bottom of the sea, its strangeness visible from the skies above. In a novel of startling originality and riveting suspense, these three people risk everything for a future that they can only create by throwing off the shackles of tradition and superstition to transform the ancient city . . . or destroy it. Rjurik Davidson is a winner of the Ditmar Award as Best New Talent and the Aurealis Award for his short fiction. His first book was a collection The Library of Forgotten Books. A columnist, and a literary and film critic, he lives in Melbourne, Australia.

It’s been three months since Drothe killed a legend and unexpectedly elevated himself into the ranks of the underworld elite. Now, as the newest Gray Prince managing the city’s underbelly, he’s learning how good he used to have it. With barely an organization to his name, Drothe is already being called out by other Gray Princes. And to make matters worse, when one dies, all signs point to Drothe as wielding the knife. Members of the Kin begin choosing sides – mostly against him – for what looks to be another impending war. Then Drothe is approached by a man who has the solution to his problem and an offer of redemption. The only problem is the offer isn’t for him. Now Drothe finds himself on the way to the Despotate of Djan, the empire’s long-standing enemy, with an offer to make and a price on his head. And the grains of sand in the hour glass are running out, fast . . . Douglas Hulick has been reading fantasy literature for almost as long as he can remember. He suspects this penchant for far-away lands of yore led, in part, to his studying Medieval History, then teaching European Historical Martial Arts. Douglas reads, writes and plays with a rapier in Minnesota, where he is often surprisingly tolerated by his wife (who also fences) and two sons (who do not).

Paul Cornell

Seth Patrick

The second urban fantasy by bestselling Doctor Who writer, Paul Cornell

The second exciting novel by Seth Patrick

Detective Inspector James Quill and his wily squad of supernatural crime-busters are coming to terms with their new-found second sight. They have a handle on the ghosts and ghouls, but the rest of London’s supernatural underworld is still scarily unknown. When a seemingly invisible murderer kills a top cabinet minister in mysterious circumstances, the team knows this is a case for them.

Acolyte follows on from events in Seth Patrick’s first novel, The Reviver. A woman is brutally and unusually murdered in an alleyway. Strange shadows are appearing on people’s shoulders. Could there be a link?

Attempts to learn more about this mysterious figure are hampered when their chief detective goes missing, and a core member of their team becomes more focussed on bringing her father back to life than finding their missing detective. Soon the team seems to be falling apart as each member pursues their own interests. Throw in an ancient and vengeful spirit and a Rat King, and their mission soon becomes a trip to Hell – literally.

Seth Patrick was born in Northern Ireland. An Oxford mathematics graduate, he works as a programmer in an award-winning games company. He lives in England with his wife and two children.

Paul Cornell has written some of Doctor Who’s best-loved episodes for the BBC. He has also written on a number of comic book series for Marvel and DC, including X-Men and Batman and Robin. He has been Hugo Award-nominated for his work in TV, comics and prose, and won the BSFA award for his short fiction. The Severed Streets is his second urban fantasy novel, following London Falling.

How to Age

How to Think About Exercise

Anne Karpf, The School of Life

Damon Young, The School of Life

A deep and thoughtful look at what it means to age, how to do it well and why we care at all

A look at how and why exercise affects the way we think and feel

Society has a deep fear of ageing. Old age is increasingly viewed as a biomedical problem, something to be avoided at all costs and then vanished away by medicine. Anne Karpf urges us to change our narrative. Exploring how our outlook on ageing is historically determined and culturally defined, she draws upon case studies, old and new, to suggest how ageing can be an actively enriching time of immense growth. How to Age argues that if we can recognize growing older as an inevitable part of the human condition, then the great challenge of ageing turns out to be none other than the challenge of living. Anne Karpf is a writer, medical sociologist and awardwinning journalist. She has been a contributing editor to Cosmopolitan, and wrote a weekly column for the family pages of the Guardian, to which she now contributes columns on social, political and cultural issues. She also writes for the Independent on Sunday and other publications. A regular broadcaster, she writes and presents for BBC Radio 4, and is the author of three books, including The Human Voice (Bloomsbury, 2007). She is Reader in Writing and Cultural Inquiry at London Metropolitan University.

It can often seem as though existence is split in two: body and mind, flesh and spirit, moving and thinking. In the office or at study we are ‘mind workers’, with superfluous bodies. In the gym we stretch, run and lift, but our minds are idle. Damon Young challenges this idea, revealing how fitness can develop our bodies and minds as one. Exploring exercises and sports with the help of ancient and modern philosophy, How to Think About Exercise uncovers the pleasures, virtues and big ideas of fitness. By exercising intelligently, we are committing to wholeness: enjoying and enhancing our full humanity. Damon Young is an Australian philosopher, author and commentator. He is an Honourary Fellow in Philosophy at the University of Melbourne and the author of many books including Voltaire’s Vine and Other Philosophies. He lives in Melbourne with his wife, son and daughter. Visit his website www.damonyoung.com.au

How to Connect with Nature

How to Be Alone

Tristan Gooley, The School of Life

Sara Maitland, The School of Life

Transform the way you view and experience the natural world

Learn how to enjoy solitude and find happiness without others

A deep knowledge of our natural environment is no longer a vital part of everyday survival, certainly for those of us living in cities and working in weatherproof offices. Unless we have an inherent love of the great outdoors, do we really need to connect with nature?

Our fast-paced society does not approve of solitude; being alone is literally anti-social and some even find it sinister. Why is this so when autonomy, personal freedom and individualism are more highly prized than ever before?

Tristan Gooley believes that real connection, no matter how small, can enrich us as individuals, allowing us to see every living thing in its own intricate network. Offering a host of techniques, How to Connect with Nature helps us awaken our senses and deepen our understanding of nature’s cycles, conflicts and relationships. By cultivating the right mindset we can gain a better appreciation of the world, both indoors and outdoors. Tristan Gooley is a writer, navigator and explorer. He is the author of The Natural Navigator and The Natural Explorer. He has written for a host of publications including the Sunday Times, the New York Times, the Financial Times and Geographical Magazine.

Sara Maitland answers this question by exploring changing attitudes throughout history. Offering experiments and strategies for overturning our fear of solitude, How to Be Alone helps us to practise it without anxiety and encourages us to see the benefits of spending time by ourselves. By indulging in the experience of being alone, we can be inspired to find our own rewards and ultimately lead more enriched, fuller lives. Sara Maitland is the British author of numerous works of fiction, including the Somerset Maugham Award-winning Daughters of Jersualem and several non-fiction books including A Book of Silence. Born in 1950, she studied at Oxford University and lives in Galloway.

Tristan has led expeditions in five continents, climbed mountains in Europe, Africa and Asia, sailed small boats across oceans and piloted small aircraft to Africa and the Arctic. He is the only living person to have both flown solo and sailed singlehanded across the Atlantic and is a Fellow of the Royal Institute of Navigation and the Royal Geographical Society.

How to Deal with Adversity

How to Develop Emotional Health

Christopher Hamilton, The School of Life

Oliver James, The School of Life

What to do when faced with adversity and how to derive meaning from it

How to understand the role the past plays in your present and live a fulfilling, emotionally healthy life

No matter how insulated we are by wealth or friends we can all expect to undergo some form of loss, failure or disappointment. The common reaction is to bear it as best we can – some do this better than others – and move on with life. Christopher Hamilton proposes a different response to adversity. Focusing on the arenas of family, love, illness and death, he explores constructive ways to deal with adversity and embrace it to derive unique insight into our condition. Offering examples from history, literature and science, How to Deal with Adversity suggests how we might recognize it as a precious source of enlightenment, shaping our very existence. Dr Christopher Hamilton is Senior Lecturer in the Philosophy of Religion at King’s College London. He is the author of Middle Age, part of the Art of Living series published by Acumen Books in 2009, and Living Philosophy (Edinburgh University Press, 2001).

Happiness is a loaded term that means different things to different people. To some, it might mean life satisfaction, to others, a fleeting moment of joy. Rather than seeking to be happy, Oliver James encourages us to cultivate our emotional health. Outlining the five elements of good emotional health – insightfulness, a strong sense of self, fluid relationships, authenticity and playfulness in our approach to life – he offers strategies for optimizing each characteristic to live more fulfilling lives. Helping us to understand the impact our emotional baggage has on our daily interactions, How to Develop Emotional Health reveals how to overcome unhelpful patterns and become more self-aware – revitalizing our approach to life. Oliver James trained and practised as a child clinical psychologist and, since 1988, has worked as a writer, journalist, broadcaster and television documentary producer and presenter. His books include the bestselling They F*** You Up, Affluenza, Contented Dementia and Office Politics. www.oliver-james-books.com

Love Letters of the Great War

The Pocket Guide to Vitamins

Edited by Mandy Kirkby with a Foreword by Helen Dunmore

Angela Dowden

A powerful collection of love letters shared between soldiers and their sweethearts during the First World War

A handy, accessible guide to vitamins and other supplements

From the private papers of Winston Churchill to the tender notes of an unknown Tommy in the trenches, Love Letters of the Great War brings together some of the most romantic correspondence ever written. Many of the letters collected here are eloquent declarations of love and longing; others contain wrenching accounts of fear, jealousy and betrayal; and a number share sweet dreams of home. But in all the correspondence – whether from British, American, French, German, Russian, Australian and Canadian troops in the height of battle, or from the heartbroken wives and sweethearts left behind – there lies a truly human portrait of love and war. A century on from the start of the First World War, these letters offer an intimate glimpse into the hearts of men and women separated by conflict, and show how love can transcend even the bleakest and most devastating of realities. Mandy Kirkby is an editor, and author of The Language of Flowers: a Miscellany.

The Republic of Pirates

Nana’s Kitchen

Colin Woodard

Sherrie Hewson

The book that inspired Crossbones, the new NBC television series written and produced by Neil ‘Luther’ Cross and starring John Malkovich

A mouthwatering collection of recipes for all occasions, created by much-loved star Sherrie Hewson

In the early eighteenth century a number of the great pirate captains, including Edward ‘Blackbeard’ Teach and ‘Black Sam’ Bellamy, joined forces. This infamous ‘Flying Gang’ was more than simply a thieving band of brothers. Many of its members had come to piracy as a revolt against conditions in the merchant fleet and in the cities and plantations of the Old and New Worlds. Inspired by notions of self-government, they established a crude but distinctive form of democracy in the Bahamas, carving out their own zone of freedom in which indentured servants were released and leaders chosen or deposed by a vote. They were ultimately overcome by their archnemesis, Captain Woodes Rogers – a merchant fleet owner and former privateer – and the brief but glorious Republic of Pirates came to an end. Colin Woodard’s account is vividly told, full of incident and adventure, and brings to life this virtually unexplored chapter in the Golden Age of Piracy.

Sherrie Hewson – who was a semi-finalist on Celebrity Master Chef and owned her own restaurant – loves to cook. Her kitchen is a world away from her working life as an actress and presenter, and is where she constantly dreams up new recipes to try on family and friends. As a busy mother and now a grandmother, she loves nothing more than to take care of her family with comforting, tasty meals. She’s been writing down her recipes for decades and now she’s sharing over 100 of her favourites with us – from traditional dishes she learned from her own grandmother to thoroughly modern recipes you and your family will love too. All are delicious, easy to prepare and sure to inspire you. Sherrie Hewson is one of our most versatile actresses, with an extensive career covering theatre, British films and television, including long-running roles in Coronation Street and Emmerdale, and most recently as Joyce Temple-Savage in the hugely popular comedy series Benidorm. She is also a much-loved presenter on Loose Women.

Colin Woodard, an award-winning author and journalist, is State & National Affairs Writer for the Portland Press Herald and Maine Sunday Telegram. His most recent book, American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America, was named a Best Book of 2011 by the editors of the New Republic and the Globalist and won the 2012 Maine Literary Award for Non-Fiction.

Louise Johncox

Carmine Gallo

Timeless recipes from four generations of bakers

A powerful guide to public speaking, based on scientific analysis of hundreds of TED presentations and interviews with TED speakers

Louise Johncox comes from a long line of bakers and confectioners. As a child she would sit on a flour tin at her father’s side in the bakehouse and eat whatever was fresh from the oven – a hot bread roll or a fluffy piece of sponge – and when her father retired, Louise decided it was time to capture his wisdom and baking expertise, writing down his recipes for the first time and preserving his magical legacy for her children. In The Baker’s Daughter, she weaves delightful childhood memories of the family bakehouse and tea shop with all of her father’s delicious recipes. From classic cream cakes and traditional buns, to celebration cakes, handcrafted chocolates and her father’s signature cream meringues, these recipes come laden with the sights, smells and warmth of the tea room. ‘An affectionate memoir that will both entertain with stories from a bygone world of tea and cakes and inspire people to bake’ Albert Roux, OBE, KFO Louise Johncox was born in Weybridge, Surrey, where her father worked as a baker and chocolatier in the family tea shop from 1958 to 2000. She comes from a long line of pastry chefs originating from Poschiavo on the Swiss Italian border. Instead of following in the family tea shop tradition, Louise trained as a journalist, and writes for publications including The Times, Sunday Times, Telegraph and Guardian. Louise lives in Surrey and has two children, Lara and Joe.

Four Sisters: The Lost Lives of the Romanov Grand Duchesses

Night School Richard Wiseman

Helen Rappaport Award-winning and critically acclaimed historian Helen Rappaport turns to the tragic story of the daughters of the last Tsar of all the Russias, slaughtered with their parents at Ekaterinburg On 17 July 1918, four young women walked down twentythree steps into the cellar of a house in Ekaterinburg. The eldest was twenty-two, the youngest only seventeen. Together with their parents and their thirteen-year-old brother, they were all brutally murdered. Their crime: to be the daughters of the last Tsar and Tsaritsa of All the Russias. Much has been written about Nicholas II, his wife Alexandra and their tragic fate, but little attention has been paid to the Romanov princesses. In Four Sisters, however, acclaimed biographer Helen Rappaport puts them centre stage and offers readers the most authoritative account yet of the Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia. Compellingly readable, meticulously researched and deeply moving, Four Sisters gives these young women a voice, and allows their story to resonate for readers almost a century after their deaths. Helen Rappaport is a historian with a specialism in the nineteenth century. She is the author of eleven published books, including Ekaterinburg: The Last Days of the Romanovs and Magnificent Obsession: Victoria, Albert and the Death that Changed the Monarchy. She is also the author, with Roger Watson, of Capturing the Light. For more information, you can visit her website at www.helenrappaport.com

The Last Foundling

The Yorkshire Shepherdess

Tom H. Mackenzie

Amanda Owen

A deeply moving memoir from one of the last children to be taken in by the Foundling Hospital

A funny, heartwarming and inspiring true story of life as a shepherdess in one of the most remote and beautiful spots in England

When she fell pregnant in London in 1938, Jean knew that she couldn’t keep her baby. The unmarried daughter of an elder in the Church of Scotland, she would shame her family if she returned to the north in such a condition. Scared and alone in a city on the brink of war, she begged the Foundling Hospital to give her baby the start in life that she could not. The institution, which had been providing care for deserted infants since the eighteenth century, allowed Jean to nurse her son for nine weeks, leaving her heartbroken when the time came to let him go. But little Tom knew nothing of her love as he grew up in the Foundling Hospital. Subject to harsh discipline, bullying from the older boys and an unvarying regime of exercise drills, chores, lessons and church, there was no one to give him a hug, no one to wipe away his tears. He was never told that his mother sent him presents for his birthday or that she desperately wanted him back. Leaving at 15, he was ill-equipped to cope with the wider world and suffered a series of misadventures until, as a young man, he tracked down the woman who had given him away . . . and found a home at last. Powerful and moving, The Last Foundling is a testament to the healing power of forgiveness and love. Tom H. Mackenzie was one of the last children to be taken in by the Foundling Hospital. Following a spell in the army, he has worked in journalism and business and now writes a weekly column for the Plymouth Herald.

Amanda Owen has been seen by millions on ITV’s The Dales, living a life that has almost gone in today’s modern world, a life ruled by the seasons and her animals. She is a farmer’s wife and shepherdess, living alongside her husband Clive and seven children at Ravenseat, a 2000-acre sheep hill farm at the head of Swaledale in North Yorkshire. It’s a challenging life but one she loves. In The Yorkshire Shepherdess she describes how the rebellious girl from Huddersfield, who always wanted to be a shepherdess, achieved her dreams. Full of amusing anecdotes and unforgettable characters, the book takes us from fitting in with the locals to fitting in motherhood, from the demands of the livestock to the demands of raising a large family in such a rural backwater. Amanda also evokes the peace of winter, when they can be cut off by snow without electricity or running water, the happiness of spring and the lambing season, and the backbreaking tasks of summertime – haymaking and sheepshearing – inspiring us all to look at the countryside and those who work there with new appreciation. Amanda Owen grew up in Huddersfield but was inspired by the James Herriot books, amongst others, to work in farming. After learning her craft as a freelance shepherdess, cow milker and alpaca shearer, she settled down as a farmer’s wife with her own flock of sheep at Ravenseat.

Wild Food

Coming Up Trumps: A Memoir

Roger Phillips

Jean Trumpington

An authoritative and beautifully illustrated book on wild food and foraging by one of our leading experts

A riveting memoir from Lady Trumpington, doyenne of the House of Lords, taking her from 1920s London to her distinguished political career

Wild food is all around us, growing in our hedgerows and fields, along river banks and seashores, even on inhospitable moorland. In this definitive book, hundreds of these plants are clearly identified, with colour photography and detailed descriptions. Roger Phillips also gives us fascinating information on how our ancestors would have used the plant as well as including over 100 more modern recipes for delicious food and drinks. From berries, herbs and mushrooms to wild vegetables, salad leaves, seaweed and even bark, this book will inspire you to start cooking with nature’s free bounty. ‘I can safely say that if I hadn’t picked up this book some twenty years ago I wouldn’t have eaten as well, or even lived as well, as I have. It inspired me then and it inspires me now’ Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall Roger Phillips is an award-winning photographer with a reputation spanning thirty years. The author of twenty books, he has consistently pioneered the use of colour photography for the reliable identification of natural history subjects. An acknowledged expert on mushrooms and wild food, he has influenced a generation of British chefs.

In this witty and characteristically trenchant memoir, the indomitable Jean Trumpington looks back on her long and remarkable life. The daughter of an officer in the Bengal Lancers and an American heiress, Jean Campbell-Harris was born into a world of considerable privilege, but the Wall Street Crash entirely wiped out her mother’s fortune. Leaving school at fifteen, without ever taking an exam, the young Jean Campbell-Harris was sent to Paris to study art and both French and German, but two years later, with the outbreak of the Second World War, she became a land girl – on a farm owned by Lloyd George, a family friend – but she soon changed direction, joining naval intelligence at Bletchley Park, where she stayed for the rest of the war. After the war she worked first in Paris and then in New York, joining advertising’s ‘mad men’ on Madison Avenue. It was in New York that she met her husband, the historian Alan Barker, and their marriage, in 1954, ushered in the happiest period of her life – bringing up her only son, Adam, and becoming a not entirely conventional headmaster’s wife, before embarking on her distinguished political career, as a Cambridge City Councillor, Mayor of Cambridge and, then, in 1980, a life peer. Vivid, forthright and often very funny, Coming Up Trumps is a wonderfully readable account of a life very well lived. Jean Barker is still an active member of the government front bench in the House of Lords and makes regular appearance of television and radio, including Have I Got News for You. Widowed in 1988, Baroness Trumpington lives in Battersea.

Call the Doctor

Memoirs of a Chinese Dissident

Ronald White-Cooper

Chen Guangcheng

For fans of Call the Midwife and Nurse On Call, comes a funny, poignant account of life as a Devon country doctor

An electrifying memoir by the blind Chinese activist who inspired millions with his fight for justice and his belief in the cause of freedom

Ronald White-Cooper may have worked as a doctor in London’s slums and tended to badly wounded men on the Western Front, but when he arrived in Dartmouth in 1920 to set up as a GP he found himself facing some unique challenges. From the normally reliable midwife convinced she was being haunted to the retired colonel suffering mysterious fits, from the farmer who insisted rubbing in Bovril had cured his bad back to the young girl dying of tuberculosis, all his medical skills were put to the test.

It was like a scene out of a thriller: one morning in April 2012, China’s most famous political activist – a blind, self-taught lawyer – climbed over the wall of his heavily guarded home and escaped. For days, his whereabouts remained unknown; after he turned up at the American embassy in Beijing, a furious round of high-level negotiations finally led to his release and a new life in the United States.

Ronald initially did his rounds on horseback but gradually the world changed, bringing not just cars but innovations like antibiotics which were to change medicine for ever. Over the years Ronald became a much-loved part of the community, often helping those who could not afford to pay him, and is remembered fondly to this day. Full of wonderful characters, written with warmth and humour, Call the Doctor brilliantly evokes a bygone age. Ronald White-Cooper was born in South Africa, but trained as a doctor at St Barts in London. He served as a doctor on the Western Front in 1914 – 18, before returning to a post at Great Ormond Street hospital. He moved to Devon to work as a GP between 1920 and 1949. His memoirs were found in an old trunk in an attic and have been edited by his granddaughter Deborah Morris, a trained journalist who has worked as a television production executive.

The son of a poor farmer in rural China, blinded by illness when he was an infant, Chen was fortunate to survive a difficult childhood. But despite his disability, he was determined to educate himself and fight for the rights of his country’s poor, especially a legion of women who had endured forced sterilizations under the hated ‘one child’ policy. Repeatedly harassed, beaten, and imprisoned by Chinese authorities, Chen was ultimately placed under house arrest. Both a riveting memoir and a revealing portrait of modern China, this passionate book tells the story of a man who has never accepted limits and always believed in the power of the human spirit to overcome any obstacle. Chen Guangcheng is a Chinese civil rights activist now living in the US. In 2007 he was named one of Time magazine’s ‘Time 100’, a list of ‘100 men and women whose power, talent or moral example is transforming the world’. This is his first book.

The Skeleton Cupboard

Empire’s Crossroads

Tanya Byron

Carrie Gibson

Tanya Byron shares powerful stories from her years of training as a clinical psychologist

A definitive history of the Caribbean by a brilliant young historian

The Skeleton Cupboard is Professor Tanya Byron’s account of her years of training as a mental health practitioner, when trainee clinical psychologists find themselves in the toughest placements of their careers. Through the eyes of her naive and inexperienced younger self, Tanya shares remarkable stories inspired by the people she had the privilege to treat. Gripping, poignant and full of daring black humour, this book reveals the frightening and challenging induction faced by all mental health staff and highlights their incredible commitment to their patients. This is a brave, honest account of ordinary people and their amazing resilience to the challenges of life. In this way, The Skeleton Cupboard emphasizes how there are damaged parts in all of us and secrets hidden in every life. Professor Tanya Byron is a clinical psychologist, specializing in working with children and adolescents, with twenty-five years’ experience. She is also a journalist, author and broadcaster. Her TV presenting and on-screen expert credits include the BBC series Little Angels and The House of Tiny Tearaways and Bedtime Live for Channel 4. She writes a weekly column for The Times and a monthly column for Good Housekeeping.

In October 1492, an Italian-born, Spanish-funded navigator discovered a new world, thousands of miles across the Atlantic Ocean. In Empire’s Crossroads, Carrie Gibson unfolds the story of the Caribbean from Columbus’s first landing on the island he named San Salvador to today’s islands – largely independent, but often still in thrall to Europe and America’s insatiable desire for tropical luxuries. From the early years of settlement to the age of sugar and slavery, during which vast riches were generated for Europeans through the enforced labour of millions of enslaved Africans, to the great slave rebellions of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and the long, slow progress towards independence in the modern era, Gibson offers a vivid, panoramic view of this complex and contradictory region. From Cuba to Haiti, from Jamaica to Trinidad, the story of the Caribbean is not simply the story of slaves and masters – but of fortune-seekers, tourists, scientists and pirates. It is not only a story of imperial expansion – European and American – but also of life as it is lived in the islands, both in the past and today. Carrie Gibson completed her doctorate, on the Spanish Caribbean, at the University of Cambridge. She has worked as a journalist for the Guardian and spent many months living in the Caribbean researching in the archives of Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. She lives in London. This is her first book.

The Roadside MBA

The True Lives of My Chemical Romance

Scott Schaefer, Paul Oyer, Michael Mazzeo

Tom Bryant

A one-stop toolkit for entrepreneurs and small businesses, from three leading MBA teachers

A comprehensive and insightful biography of My Chemical Romance, based on original interview material

The Roadside MBA takes cutting-edge business theory out of the classroom, and onto the open road. Over the last two years, the three authors – each of whom has taught thousands of MBAs since the 1990s at America’s top business schools – have travelled the length and breadth of the USA, in search of perfect examples of the broad strategic issues many small businesses face.

My Chemical Romance are the most significant band in alternative rock for the last decade, selling 5 million albums and selling out arenas worldwide until their split after twelve years together. Author Tom Bryant has been given unparalleled access to the band over the course of their extraordinary career and has a unique archive of interviews with Gerard Way and his brother Mikey, Ray Toro and Frank Iero, as well as their friends and those closest to them, allowing him to go behind the scenes and bring their stories to life.

Using real case studies, each chapter identifies at least one important economic model at the heart of the issue – and makes it meaningful to other entrepreneurs and self starters. Written in an entertaining, informative, engaging style, you’ll read about orthodontists and espresso bar owners, radio station executives and car parts manufacturers, all looking to find an edge in a tough economic environment. So wind down your window, collect your Drive-Thru MBA, and equip yourself for a brighter future . . .

From their New Jersey beginnings to international superstardom, from the demons they have battled to the power of their lyrics and their extraordinary connection with their fans, this is the definitive biography of the most adored rock band this century, a story of self-belief and the pursuit of dreams. Tom Bryant is a journalist and music critic whose work has appeared in numerous magazines and newspapers, including Kerrang!, Q, MOJO and the Guardian.

Paul Oyer is the Fred H. Merrill Professor of Economics at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business. Michael Mazzeo is an Associate Professor of Management & Strategy at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. Scott Schaefer holds the Kendall D. Garff Chair in Business Administration and is Professor of Finance at the University of Utah’s David Eccles School of Business.
