About the book
A gunrunner's hunt for a fortune leads to a life-and-death struggle in Communist China in New York Times–bestselling author Jack Higgins's very first novel.
Mark Hagen is a far cry from the man he once was as a naval officer in World War II. Broken down and drunk, he's been reduced to living outside the law, gunrunning and smuggling with his dilapidated boat.
Then he rescues a woman from attackers in Macao. She's alone, she needs help—and she claims to know the whereabouts of a quarter-million dollars in gold, lying in a scuttled craft at the bottom of a lagoon in the blighted marshlands of southern China. With this one quick score, Hagen could change his luck for good.
Unfortunately, he's not the only one looking for the gold. There's the Chinese. And the Russians. And so many others.
But there's only one Mark Hagen—and he's not about to give up easily . . .
Originally published in 1963 under the name Harry Patterson, Sad Wind from the Sea is a searing debut set in the dangerous criminal underworld of the Pacific Rim, a gripping read that showcases the talents of a young writer whom Tom Clancy would one day hail as "the master."

About the book
A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year: In a dystopian future New York, a girl's diary chronicles her life as society begins to crumble around her.
Until recently, Lola Hart's biggest problem was her annoying little sister. Now the twelve-year-old girl's once comfortable life is slowly falling apart. Her mother is a teacher, but she's lost her job. Her father is a writer, but no one is buying his scripts. It's gotten so bad that they can no longer afford their Manhattan apartment or the tuition for Lola's exclusive private school.
They move to a small apartment near Harlem, and Lola enrolls in public school—but the Harts aren't alone in their troubles. Riots, fires, TB outbreaks, roaming gangs, and civil unrest have become commonplace, threatening the very fabric of life in New York. In the pages of her diary, Lola documents her family's attempts to adjust as the city and the country spin out of control
Jack Womack, a winner of the Philip K. Dick Award, has been compared to both William Gibson and Kurt Vonnegut for his vivid prose and unbridled imagination. In this novel, "Womack's stark vision of the United States's decline is an uncompromising satire that, perhaps even more than it did in the mid-1990s, forces us to confront a world instantly recognizable as our own" (Los Angeles Review of Books).
"A heartrending coming-of-age story. Flecked with black humor, this is speculative fiction at its eerie best." —Entertainment Weekly

Our take
In a quiet Yorkshire village, a childhood murder refuses to stay buried. In Demon, podcaster Scott King reopens the 1995 killing of twelve-year-old Sidney Parsons, probing rumors of possession and the lasting scars left on Ussalthwaite.

About the book
Scott King investigates allegations of demon possession in a rural Yorkshire village, where a 12-year-old boy was murdered by two young children. Book six in the spine-tingling, award-winning Six Stories series.
'Matt's books are fantastic' Ian Rankin
'An exceptional storyteller' Andrew Michael Hurley
'Matt Wesolowski is taking the crime novel to places it's never been before' Joseph Knox, author of True Crime Story
'A stunning new episode of the powerful Six Stories series. A masterful storyteller, Matt Wesolowski is my go-to writer for literary horror' C J Cooke, author of The Lighthouse Witches
In 1995, the picture-perfect village of Ussalthwaite was the site of one of the most heinous crimes imaginable, in a case that shocked the world.
Twelve-year-old Sidney Parsons was murdered by two boys his own age. No reason was ever given for this terrible crime, and the 'Demonic Duo' who killed him were imprisoned until their release in 2002, when they were given new identities and lifetime anonymity.
Elusive online journalist Scott King investigates the lead-up and aftermath of the killing, uncovering dark stories of demonic possession, and encountering a village torn apart by this unspeakable act.
And, as episodes of his Six Stories podcast begin to air, and King himself becomes a target of media scrutiny and public outrage, it becomes clear that whatever drove those two boys to kill is still there, lurking, and the campaign of horror has just begun...

About the book
In this epic historical fantasy saga debut by the author of the Lord of the Isles, four young people must face dangerous magic to save the world.
"Drake . . . vividly recreates the attitudes of patrician Romans in this fantasy tale. . . . Fans of fantasy and historical fiction will enjoy." —Publishers Weekly
In this novel of magical menace to the survival of all humanity, David Drake introduces a new fantasy world, Carce, based on Europe during the later Roman Empire.
Far in the north, a group of magicians perform a strange dance on a volcanic island. They intend to open a gateway for supernatural creatures that will allow them to devastate the planet and destroy all life. Not knowing the cause, two young men, Corylus and Varus, and two women, Hedia and Alphena, each separately pursue the answer to mysterious and threatening happenings that prefigure disaster in the great city of Carce, the center of civilization. Through magical voyages in other realities where fantastic creatures, and even gods, help or hinder them, each of them must succeed or not just the city but the world will end in fire.
The Legions of Fire is the first of a fantasy quartet set in the world of the city of Carce.
"Recommended for all action fantasy fans, not least because three of the four protagonists are on the verge of adulthood, which promises a bildungsroman atmosphere throughout the succeeding volumes." —Booklist

Grief fractures even the most carefully tended lives.
Beneficence
Literary Fiction · Historical Literary Fiction · Psychological Fiction
Our take
Grief fractures even the most carefully tended lives. In Beneficence, Meredith Hall follows the Senter family after an unthinkable loss reshapes their rural existence, testing their faith in work, love, and one another. As sorrow gives way to reckoning, each member must confront guilt and forgiveness in this quiet literary novel about endurance, responsibility, and the fragile grace of staying together.
Choose your retailer
About the book
"People stay together, fall apart, come back together, altered. It is a book about work, about grief, about thick ongoing love" from the bestselling author (The Boston Globe).
In the midst of a nearly perfect life, Doris Senter is thankful but wary. "We can't ever know what will come," she says. When an unimaginable tragedy turns the family of five into a family of four, everything the Senters held faith in is shattered. The family is consumed by sorrow and guilt. Slowly, the surviving family members find their way to forgiveness—of themselves and of each other.
Few writers know the human heart and the burden of grief as well as New York Times-bestselling author Meredith Hall (Without a Map). This is a radiant novel of goodness and love—both its gifts and its obligations—that will stay with readers long after the last page. With a rare tenderness and compassion, Beneficence shows broken hearts becoming whole as this family reclaims their love and peace.
"If the word 'luminous' didn't already exist, you'd have to invent it to describe Meredith Hall's radiant new novel." —Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize-winning author
"A modern American masterpiece." —Dani Shapiro, New York Times-bestselling author
"A quiet but steady book, one that echoes ancient and important rhythms." —The Washington Post
"One of the best books I've ever read." —Simon Van Booy, award-winning author
"Spare but decked with moments of crystalline beauty . . . A family flounders in grief, but finds their way home through forgiveness and acceptance, in Beneficence, Meredith Hall's gorgeous and moving new novel." —Foreword (starred review)

About the book
A triumphantly feminist retelling of ancient creation myths in the tradition of Madeline Miller and Claire North.
Lyrically rendered, this epic U.S. debut tells the story of the woman known as Adam's first wife and her fall from Paradise and quest for revenge.
Before Eve, there was Lilith.
Lilith and Adam are equal and happy in the Garden of Eden. Until Adam decides Lilith should submit to his will and lie beneath him. She refuses—and is banished forever from Paradise.
Demonized and sidelined, Lilith watches in fury as God creates Eve, the woman who accepts her submission. But Lilith has a secret: she has already tasted the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. Endowed with Wisdom, she knows why Asherah—God’s wife and equal, the Queen of Heaven—is missing. Lilith has a plan: she will rescue Eve, find Asherah, restore balance to the world, and regain her rightful place in Paradise.
Lilith’s quest for justice drives her throughout history, from the ziggurats of Ancient Sumer, to the court of Israel’s Queen Jezebel, and to the side of a radical preacher in Roman Judea. Noah’s wife, Norea, Jezebel and Mary Magdalene all play their part in Lilith’s enlightenment. In the modern age, as she observes the catastrophic consequences of a world built on inequality, Lilith finally understands what must be done to correct the wrong done to women—and all humankind—at the beginning of time.
Inspired by ancient myths and suppressed scriptures, Lilith is a thought-provoking and ambitious novel with an evocative literary voice and a triumphantly engaging heroine.

Love feels easier to orchestrate for others than to claim for yourself.
From Paris, with Butter
Romance · Contemporary Romance · RomCom
Our take
Love feels easier to orchestrate for others than to claim for yourself. In From Paris, with Butter, a proposal planner who has sworn off dating finds her routine disrupted by a brooding neighbor with a stalled culinary career.

About the book
Margot Delcour has witnessed precisely 187 proposals as a server at the Eiffel Tower’s iconic restaurant, expertly guiding nervous romantics through their big moment while still managing to bake rainbow macarons and croissants the size of her face on her days off. She’s a hopeless romantic—for other people. After a string of comically tragic first dates, Paris’s expert proposal planner has sworn off dating entirely.
Her new neighbor, Laurent Roche, isn’t exactly helping matters. Brooding, chronically grumpy, and content to avoid conversation altogether, he's determined to keep their relationship limited to awkward hallway nods...until Margot learns he once walked away from a brilliant career as a chef.
When Laurent is unexpectedly offered a chance at a high-profile culinary comeback, Margot plans to stay far away. That is, until Laurent challenges the safe, romance-free life Margot has chosen, and she agrees to step into a role that risks exposing both her talent and her heart.
Soon they’re sharing a tiny Parisian kitchen, trading barbs over butter ratios, and discovering a spark rising faster than pâte à choux. But falling for a funny, gorgeous, perpetually grumpy neighbor comes with complications—especially when neither of them planned on risking their hearts.
Set against cobblestone streets, cozy bistros, and moonlit patisseries, From Paris, With Butter is filled with sparkling banter, mouthwatering food, and the unexpected magic of falling for the person next door.

Fame leaves scars that linger long after the spotlight fades.

About the book
One struggling popstar. One romance writer with a savior complex. One deal with the devil.
IVY
So... I accidentally fell for a former boybander. No, not the one with the soaring solo career and the fragrance line—the other one. Ian Pope may be hot AF, but he's also fresh out of rehab and hitched to a long list of tabloid headlines. Yeah. That one.
There’s just one teeny problem: I might be the one who needs saving.
To keep my skeletons in the closet, I agree to a questionable arrangement with Ian’s manager. Now I’ve got a choice: finally face my past or keep pretending I’m just the quirky writer with great one-liners and no baggage. And if I choose truth over self-preservation—will Ian still be around for the final chapter?

My life used to be screaming fans, sold-out arenas, and merch with my face on it. Then it was rehab, bad press, and the slow, painful process of getting things back on track.
Enter Ivy Chase. Romance author. Smart. Sarcastic. Hot in a way that makes you forget your own name. She doesn’t fangirl, she doesn’t flinch at my past, and somehow, she sees me as a person, not a punchline…but Ivy has secrets. I can’t afford any more chaos in my life, but she’s addictive and worth the risk.
Now I just have to prove I’m not the same guy who lost everything... and that I’m ready to fight for the one thing that might actually matter. Her.
