Poisonous
In the year 1572 a husband killed his daughter with a poisoned apple intended for his wife. By the legal doctrine of transferred malice, the intent to murder the wife, so that he could be with his mistress, was transferred to the daughter and he was executed. Why was his accomplice, who obtained the poison and advised the husband to use it to murder the wife, allowed to go free? This is a modern-day story of a lawyer’s obsession with a high-end call girl that leads to his trial for murder. A senior detective, a rotten apple in his force, poisons the minds of those around him and is at the heart of this tale of corruption, intrigue and blackmail. Can the lawyer’s trial barrister save him by comparing what he did with the actions of the accomplice who escaped the gallows five centuries ago? Will a rogue investigation expose the real killer? Can a jury be manipulated to reach a verdict with information obtained outside the courtroom instead of the evidence they heard? Can justice prevail when barristers and judges club together to wager bets on the outcomes of their trials?

The Killing Fields of East New York
In this groundbreaking work of investigative journalism and true crime, Stacy Horn sheds light on how the subprime mortgage scandal of the 1970s and a long history of white-collar crime slowly devastated East New York, a Brooklyn neighborhood that would come to be known as the Killing Fields.On a warm summer evening in 1991, seventeen-year-old Julia Parker was murdered in the Brooklyn neighborhood of East New York. An area known for an exorbitant level of violence and crime, East New York had come to be known as the Killing Fields. In the six months after Julia Parker?s death, 62 more people were murdered in the same area. In the early 1990s, murder rates in the neighborhood climbed to the highest in NYPD history. East New York was dying.But how did this once thriving, diverse, family neighborhood fall into such ruin? The answer can be found two decades earlier. In response to redlining and discriminatory housing practices, the Johnson administration passed the Housing and Urban Development Act in 1968. The Federal Housing Authority aimed to use this piece of legislation to help low-income families of color finally achieve homeownership. But they could never have predicted how banks, lenders, realtors, and corrupt FHA officials themselves would use the newly passed law to make victims of the very people they were supposed to help, and the devastation they would leave in their wake.A compulsively readable hybrid of true crime and investigative journalism, The Killing Fields of East New York reveals how white-collar crime reduced a prospering neighborhood to abandoned buildings and empty lots. Following the dual threads of the hunt for the network of criminals behind the first subprime mortgage scandal and the ensuing downfall of East New York, Stacy Horn weaves a compelling narrative of government failure, a desperate community, and ultimately the largest series of mortgage fraud prosecutions in American history. The Killing Fields of East New York deftly demonstrates how different types of crime are profoundly entangled, and how the crimes committed in nice suits and corner offices are just as destructive as those committed on the street.
A Murder Between the Pages
The second instalment in the Main Street Book Club Mysteries is another cosy crime perfect for fans of Ellery Adams and Lorna Barrett.
This riveting small town murder mystery will have to be solved by the book…
It was only a few months ago that the ladies of Arlo's Friday Night Book Club - Fern, Camille, and Helen - solved the murder of the renowned author, Wally Harrison. So when they select Wally's bestseller, Missing Girl, for their next discussion, Arlo is hopeful it will be the end of their mystery hunt.
But since their recent success as sleuths, the crew officially see themselves as a women's mystery club, and they're convinced Missing Girl was inspired by a 50-year-old cold case. It's a case from their own Sugar Springs, Mississippi: the disappearance of Mary Kennedy. Arlo can do little to stop the book club ladies from investigating.
But what starts as a fun hunch quickly turns into a very real cold case murder mystery when a young girl is murdered in the exact place the women believe Mary went missing all those years ago. It's clear the two cases are connected - and the mystery book club is determined to find answers. With Arlo's help, they may just be able to crack the case.
A Murder Between the Pages is full of quirky, Southern charm that fans of detective books will adore. If you love women's murder club stories, this cosy murder mystery is for you!

Tommy the Bruce
Meet Tommy Bruce - he''s washed-up already, marooned in a ramshackle hotel inherited from dead parents in the armpit of Perthshire, that''s just too far off the main tourist trail to be viable. He''s too young to be middle-aged, but too old to be what you could call young (and too lazy to care about it, really). Saddled with debt, grotty premises that are falling down around him and a crippling loneliness, Tommy is slowly but determinedly drinking himself and his business out of existence. Until one day into the lounge-bar, and out of the blue, walks Fiona McLean. And before long she''s moved behind the bar, into the hotel and (remarkably) into Tommy''s bed. Fiona blows into Tommy''s life and through the hotel, and with the light she brings, Tommy''s fortunes might just be turning around; but in her wake has also slipped in darkness - names and faces from the past who mean Tommy no goodwill at all, criminal forces that threaten to ruin him, the hotel and what little happiness he''s managed, haplessly, to cobble together.
