About the book
SIX UNFORGETTABLE BRITISH CRIME NOVELS FROM A BESTSELLING AUTHOR.
Meet Detective Inspector Bill Slider — West London CID's sharpest, driest-witted policeman.
Slider's countryman father taught him how to read the world: a flattened patch of grass, a hair caught on a hedge, a broken spider's web. Those same instincts, transplanted to the streets of Hammersmith and Shepherd's Bush, have made him a thorn in the side of his bosses and a quiet legend with the rank and file.
A disgraced BBC correspondent is found dead in his Hammersmith flat. A teenage girl is murdered on Wormwood Scrubs on a Bank Holiday morning. A young woman vanishes from her West London bedsit, and her elderly neighbour knows more than he wants to say. A man is found bled white in a bath in a Victorian attic.
Six investigations. One detective who doesn't miss a thing.
With his urbane sergeant Atherton at his side, his violinist wife at home, and a boss who would rather face a corpse than a committee, Slider sees what the rest of the Met cannot. The cases are riddled with suspects, secrets and the small lies of London. He puts them together one piece at a time.
Witty, intelligent, and quietly devastating — British crime writing at its very best.
For fans of Reginald Hill, P.D. James, Ruth Rendell and Inspector Morse.
Please note these are books 11-16 in the series, but can be read without reading the first ten books first.

Praise for Conrad Voss Bark:
‘Neatly contrived adventure.’ Daily Express
‘One of the pleasantest new personalities in Crime Fiction.’ The Sunday Times
‘A spy thriller rare enough to deserve a small salute . . . very fast and zestful’ The Financial Times
William Holmes is a discreet civil servant at the heart of Whitehall. Things are usually quiet, orderly, and predictable . . . until someone tries to burn him alive in his own flat.
He survives by chance. But now he must find out who wants him dead — and why?
What begins as an attempted assassination quickly reveals something bigger. Soviet agents have disappeared across Europe. A new, silent weapon has surfaced. And someone believes Holmes is standing in the way of whatever comes next.
The truth is, he doesn’t know what he’s supposed to know.
Forced out from behind his desk and into the field, Holmes follows the trail from London to Paris, searching for the missing piece before his enemies strike again.
At his side is Morrison — steady, practical, and quietly capable — the counterbalance to Holmes’s instinct and intuition.
Because in this new game, hesitation is fatal.
And the attempt on Holmes’s life was only the opening move.
Perfect for fans of John le Carré, Ben Macintyre, John Gardner, Charles Cumming, and Mick Herron’s Slow Horses.

One of Us Will Be Dead by Morning
Dystopian · Horror
Our take
Called “A bloody fun ride...” by Kirkus Reviews, One of Us Will Be Dead by Morning traps 14 people on a barren North Sea island, where a tragic accident becomes the start of a rising body count. As paranoia spreads and a horrific discovery changes everything, no one knows whether they are facing a killer, mass hysteria, or the beginning of the end.

About the book
In One of Us Will Be Dead by Morning, David Moody returns to the world of his Hater trilogy with a new fast-paced, and wonderfully dark story about humanity's fight for survival in the face of the impending apocalypse.
The fewer left alive, the higher the stakes.
Kill the others, before one of them kills you.
Fourteen people are trapped on Skek, a barren island in the middle of the North Sea somewhere between the coasts of the UK and Denmark. Over the years this place has served many purposes—a fishing settlement, a military outpost, a scientific base—but one by one its inhabitants have abandoned its inhospitable shores. Today it's home to Hazleton Adventure Experiences, an extreme sports company specializing in corporate team building events.
Life there is fragile and tough. One slip is all it takes. A momentary lapse leads to a tragic accident, but when the body count quickly starts to rise, questions are inevitably asked. Are the deaths coincidental, or something else entirely? Those people you thought you knew, can you really trust them? Is the person standing next to you a killer? Will you be their next victim?
A horrific discovery changes everything, and a trickle of rumors becomes a tsunami of fear. Is this the beginning of the end of everything, or a situation constructed by the mass hysteria of a handful of desperate and terrified people?

About the book
The acclaimed New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling novel of small-town evil that “is genuinely chilling and something brand-new and exciting” (Stephen King) and “unforgettable” (Harlan Coben).
In the summer of 1988, the mutilated bodies of several missing girls begin to turn up in a small Maryland town. The grisly evidence leads police to the terrifying assumption that a serial killer is on the loose in the quiet suburb. But soon a rumor begins to spread that the evil stalking local teens is not entirely human. Law enforcement, as well as members of the FBI, are certain that the killer is a living, breathing madman—and he’s playing games with them. For a once peaceful community trapped in the depths of paranoia and suspicion, it feels like a nightmare that will never end.
Recent college graduate Richard Chizmar returns to his hometown just as a curfew is enacted and a neighborhood watch is formed. Amid preparing for his wedding and embarking on a writing career, he soon finds himself thrust into a real-life horror story. Inspired by the terrifying events, Richard writes a personal account of the serial killer’s reign of terror, unaware that these events will continue to haunt him for years to come.
A clever, terrifying, and heartrending work of metafiction, Chasing the Boogeyman is the ultimate marriage between horror fiction and true crime. Chizmar’s “dazzling work of fresh imagination and psychological insight” (Caroline Kepnes, New York Times bestselling author of You) is on full display in this truly unique novel that will haunt you long after you turn the final page.

One of the New York Times’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century • A Kirkus Reviews Best Fiction Book of the Century
“A beautiful and majestic fictional panorama.” —John Updike, The New Yorker
On a hot summer day in 1935, thirteen-year-old Briony Tallis witnesses a moment’s flirtation between her older sister, Cecilia, and Robbie Turner, the son of a servant and Cecilia’s childhood friend. But Briony’s incomplete grasp of adult motives—together with her precocious literary gifts—brings about a crime that will change all their lives.
As it follows that crime’s repercussions through the chaos and carnage of World War II and into the close of the twentieth century, Atonement engages the reader on every conceivable level, with an ease and authority that mark it as a genuine masterpiece.

About the book
Winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award ▪ American Booksellers Association Book of the Year Award
"Haunting....A whodunit complete with courtroom maneuvering and surprising turns of evidence and at the same time a mystery, something altogether richer and deeper."—Los Angeles Times
San Piedro Island, north of Puget Sound, is a place so isolated that no one who lives there can afford to make enemies. But in 1954 a local fisherman is found suspiciously drowned, and a Japanese American named Kabuo Miyamoto is charged with his murder. In the course of the ensuing trial, it becomes clear that what is at stake is more than a man's guilt. For on San Pedro, memory grows as thickly as cedar trees and the fields of ripe strawberries—memories of a charmed love affair between a white boy and the Japanese girl who grew up to become Kabuo's wife; memories of land desired, paid for, and lost. Above all, San Piedro is haunted by the memory of what happened to its Japanese residents during World War II, when an entire community was sent into exile while its neighbors watched. Gripping, tragic, and densely atmospheric, Snow Falling on Cedars is a masterpiece of suspense—one that leaves us shaken and changed.

About the book
1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this remarkably candid and courageous memoir, the King of Pop tells the story of his life in his own words—complete with exclusive photographs and drawings.
“Moonwalk provides a startling glimpse of the artist at work and the artist in reflection.”—Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
Megastar Michael Jackson’s singularly brilliant career and intensely reserved lifestyle have been a magnificent obsession for millions of rock fans and celebrity watchers throughout the world. In Moonwalk, he breaks through the wild rumors and widespread intrigue to present an intimate and moving account of his public and private life.
Michael recalls a childhood that was both harsh and joyful but always formidable. He and his brothers played amateur music shows and seedy Chicago strip joints until Motown’s corporate image makers turned the Jackson 5 into worldwide superstars. He talks about the happy prankster days of his youth, traveling with his brothers, and his sometimes difficult relationships with his family over the years. He speaks candidly about the inspiration behind his music, his mesmerizing dance moves, and the compulsive drive to create that made him one of the biggest stars in the music business and a legend in his own time.
Michael also shares his personal feelings about some of his most public friends . . . including Diana Ross, Berry Gordy, Quincy Jones, Paul McCartney, Fred Astaire, Marlon Brando, and Katharine Hepburn. He talks openly about the crushing isolation of his fame, of his first love, of his plastic surgery, and of his wholly exceptional career and the often bizarre and unfair rumors that have surrounded it.
Illustrated with photos from the Jackson photo albums and Michael’s personal photographic archives, as well as drawings done by Michael exclusively for this book, Moonwalk is a memorable journey to the very heart and soul of a musical genius.

About the book
A deadly assassin. A desperate witch. A past that won’t stay buried.
I’m Amber DeLea, ambitious witch, potion mistress extraordinaire, and daughter to a woman slipping further away each day. My life is a constant battle, whether it’s cursed runes, treacherous coven politics, or dark forces closing in. But nothing haunts me more than my mother’s unravelling mind, and I’m running out of time to find a cure.
The last thing I need is Bastion, the deadly griffin assassin who shattered my world, being ordered to protect me. And yet, here he is, my reluctant bodyguard, bound to keep me alive even as old wounds fester between us.
Every whispered incantation could be my undoing. Every shadow hides a threat. And every moment with Bastion blurs the line between hatred and something far more dangerous. I’ll do whatever it takes to save my mother, even if it means risking my heart to the one man I swore to despise until my dying breath.
Devour this witchy series if you love humour, heart, and a strong heroine tangled in a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers fade-to-black romance.

Maya Blue: A Memoir of Survival
Biographical Fiction
Our take
Named a 2025 Kirkus Best Indie Book of the Year and called a memoir that “delivers suspense and action that rivals any thriller” by Kirkus Reviews, Brenda Coffee’s memoir follows her through a controlling marriage, her husband’s cocaine addiction, threats from Big Tobacco, and being forced into Guatemala’s jungle at gunpoint. Ideal for memoir readers drawn to survival, resilience, addiction, and finding one’s voice.
Choose your retailer
About the book
For fans of Breaking Bad and Narcos, a searingly honest and unforgettable memoir that challenges women to rethink everything they know about survival, resilience, and finding their voice.
At twenty-one, Brenda Coffee surrendered herself to her marriage and became a woman who would do almost anything her charismatic and powerful older husband, Philip Ray, wanted. Regardless of whether it was dangerous, adventurous, sexual, or illegal, she wanted to be the one woman he couldn’t live without.
Brenda and Philip’s life together was a fairy tale until it wasn’t. Until Philip, the founder of two high-profile, groundbreaking public companies, began making real cocaine in their basement and became addicted. Until the Big Six tobacco companies threatened their lives for creating the first smokeless cigarette—Brenda coined the terms vape and vaping—and brutal Guatemalan military commandos forced her into the jungle at gunpoint.
A suspenseful, fast-paced memoir that reads like a thriller, Maya Blue will strike a chord with those who’ve lost their voice or had trouble finding their power. It will resonate with those who live with an addict or have grieved the loss of a spouse. But above all, it is an inspiring reminder that as long as you never surrender your voice and always keep your wits about you, you can survive almost anything.
