Departure 37


‘If you loved The Twilight Zone, this is for you. It's a mind-blower.’ STEPHEN KING "The future of warfare – if not humanity – changed on a hot August day on the grounds of a naval base more than 1,000 miles from the nearest ocean. The discovery involved a single scientist and a model airplane." When every pilot in the country receives a call from their mother begging them not to fly, air travel comes to a halt. But none of the mothers remember making these calls – and some weren’t alive to make them. As senior officials scramble for answers, a teenager named Charlie makes online documentaries about her new home, a place where locals insist they saw passengers survive a plane crash, only to be reported as dead. And, unknown to Charlie, a place where renowned scientist Marty Hazelton once conducted experiments for making planes disappear… With the growing threats of nuclear weaponry and artificial intelligence, what begins as a ground stop becomes a threat to civilization as we know it in this high-octane, political thriller perfect for fans of Dan Brown and Frederick Forsyth. ‘Part Cold War thriller, part Twilight Zone episode and part Stephen King-like yarn about regular people in extraordinary circumstances.’ NEW YORK TIMES –––––––––––––––– PRAISE FOR SCOTT CARSON ‘One of the best of the best.’ MICHAEL CONNELLY ‘Terrific suspense.’ DEAN KOONTZ ‘DEPARTURE 37 is a rollicking, and at times terrifying, mashup of the 20th and 21st century political, nuclear, and technological tensions and ambitions. It's smart, inventive, breathlessly paced, and most importantly, humane.’ PAUL TREMBLAY ‘In this striking thriller, Carson nimbly entwines a contemporary coming-of-age story with a tale of Cold War paranoia. It’s a winner.’ PUBLISHERS WEEKLY ‘Wildly imaginative and genuinely, nailbitingly suspenseful.’ BOOKLIST

Legacy of Menace


‘Who had smashed up our young lives? Was it the murderous Kray twins? Or was it the police, cynically using the criminal justice system to hide their own failure?’Bobby David and Alfie Teale were deeply trusted confidants of the notorious Kray twins, but when the Krays grew more extreme in their violence, Bobby secretly became a police informer to stop them. Then, supposedly for their own protection, Bobby, David and Alfie were all arrested on a fitted-up charge of demanding money with menaces, and sentenced to three years in prison. When the Krays were eventually arrested, each of the brothers gave evidence at the trial. The Krays went down. The police were suddenly heroes - while Bobby vanished, in fear of his life, and David and Alfie were left to pick up the pieces of theirs. In this extraordinary three-way memoir, you will see who the real heroes are, and it’s the Teales’s story which will endure as the real version of history.

Everybody Loves Our Dollars - How Money Laundering Won


From the bestselling author of MONEYLAND and BUTLER TO THE WORLD, a revelatory new anatomy of global money laundering, the crime that makes crime payWithout money laundering, few crimes of acquisition would be worth the trouble. South America's drug cartels would be stuffed without it, as would Nigerian kleptocrats, Afghan terrorists, American tax evaders and a whole bestiary of human (and animal) traffickers the world over. And yet, estimates of the dirty portion of world GDP have held steady at 2%-5% for decades. All efforts at legislation, diplomacy, prosecution and compliance have been a complete flop. It's not a lack of will to stamp it out. It's a lack of insight. So join bestselling investigative journalist Oliver Bullough on a perspective-altering adventure through the flipside of the global economy. In the criminal world, cash is still king (in fact, crime might now be the main thing cash is good for, and even why it still exists). Barter is pretty good too: vast, continent-wide exchanges of everything from luxury handbags to baby eels support a triangular drug trade linking Europe to the Far East. Cryptocurrencies flow through paper ledgers that would make a Florentine merchant feel at home. And the system works. Whether you're a fraudster, a cartel boss, a corrupt politician, a kleptocrat or a terrorist mastermind, your options to move and hide your money are more secure and more impenetrable than they have ever been. There has never been a better time to be a criminal. It's time that changed.
