Missing in Soho
These are the last words of stabbed private investigator Sylvester Green – before he is whisked away by ambulance from Soho’s Lady’s Bar.
Lady’s Bar’s glamorous owner, drag queen Misty Divine, hears in his words both a warning and a puzzle. Perhaps that’s why she’s less than candid with the police.
Because Misty has Sylvester’s notebook, which hints that she’s connected to the case he wanted to solve – the disappearance of Jeremy Edmunds.
But who is Jeremy? And will whoever hurt Sylvester come for Misty next?
With danger at her heels, Misty is determined to follow Sylvester’s clues and help bring Jeremy home.
But the deeper she digs, the more she realises that the link between her and whatever Jeremy was caught up in threatens to destroy everything she holds dear – including her beloved Lady’s Bar.
Can Misty find Jeremy, save Lady’s Bar, and solve the case? Or will the next disappearing act be her own…

Where falling in love could be the last mistake you ever make.
In the city of Valveron, an elite academy seeks to control all magic. But in the darker districts, every kind of power is for sale. If you can pay the price.
Nina Veyr has a dangerous secret-illegal magical abilities she cannot explain. If the city's enforcers found her, she would be executed... or worse.
For years, Nina has stayed in the shadows, picking pockets and smuggling enchanted relics to get by. Then she steals from the wrong man.
Max Antonin is the most powerful crime boss in the city. Cold, deadly, and breathtakingly attractive, Max has his sights set on Nina, and nothing will stand in his way.
But when Nina is framed for a shocking murder, Max offers to help her find the true killers. She knows she can't trust him-that deals with a devil always come at a cost. But there's no way she can survive on her own.
As they follow a trail of bodies into the city's underworld, Nina feels a dangerous attraction pulling her ever closer to him. Can she trust her life and her heart to Valveron's most ruthless criminal?
The Anatomy of Magic is a thrilling fantasy romance full of searing chemistry and razor-sharp banter. It's perfect for fans of Callie Hart, Carissa Broadbent and Elise Kova.

White Rabbits/Down Below
Playful, sharp and fantatsical: a new selection of writing by Leonora Carrington, the last great Surrealist
In 1940, Leonora Carrington - a twenty-two-year-old British-born Surrealist artist - was persuaded to flee France and the advancing German army for Spain. Already suffering from a psychotic break occasioned by the arrest of her lover by the Nazi authorities, she was soon confined to a mental institution, where she was subjected to sadistic treatment under the guise of medical care. In her memoir, Down Below, she describes her experiences with an anthropologist's precision and an artist's sense of the fantastic.
This volume also includes a selection of Carrington's best stories from across her lifetime, functioning as companion pieces to her surrealist-inflected non-fiction. They include 'The Debutante', in which a young woman, wishing to avoid a ball in her honour, swaps places with a hyena; 'White Rabbits', which sees a friendly neighbour come by to ask for spare decomposing meat; and 'My Flannel Knickers', in which a woman has sainthood forced upon her.
You Won’t Get Free of It
Real-life stories of mothers and daughters - of what we inherit, what we bury and what we, finally, find the courage to say - by the award-winning New Yorker staff writer.
'She is simply brilliant' Anne Enright
'A beautiful, thoughtful and probing writer' Daisy Johnson
You Won't Get Free of It tells the stories of mothers and daughters searching for each other and for themselves. Aviv explores the complexity of this relationship in seven essays, six originally published in the New Yorker and reconceived for this intimate, revelatory book.
Aviv writes about one mother searching for her vanished daughter; another who sacrifices herself for her daughters by working as a nanny for other people's children. In the final story, a daughter's traumatic experience is erased by her family, only to be recast by her mother, the writer Alice Munro, in stories celebrated around the world.
You Won't Get Free of It is an astonishing exploration of the competing dynamics of knowing and unknowing, recognition and refusal, that shape our most foundational relationship.
The Great Wherever
THE DEAD ARE RELENTLESS GOSSIPS, OR AT LEAST THESE DEAD ARE...
A year after her father's death, Aubrey learns she has inherited a share of a farm on the sun-streaked plains of Tennessee. Seeking a way to erase a mounting pile of debt, she travels South to meet a family she barely knows.
Watching her arrival are four ghosts: Aubrey's ancestors, and the keepers of the farm's secrets. As Aubrey gets to know her living relatives, the story of the land unfolds - her great-grandfather who bought it, one of the first Black landowners in the community, the four children set to inherit it, their bitter rivalries, and a tragedy that echoes through the decades...
With the sale of the farm looming, the ghosts face exile, and Aubrey must decide how much of her future she is willing to sacrifice to the claims of the past.
Dazzling and expansive, The Great Wherever is a multigenerational portrait of the American South, exploring land and legacy, race and generational wealth, and the sharp fragments of the past - how they spark and shine against the surface of our ordinary lives.

Twenty-Twenty Vision
Christine Beckett is faced with some home truths when her best friend, suffering from dementia, decides after a lifetime to be honest with her; Olivia Fletcher has an epiphany at a vaccination centre about a man who has loved her for decades; Bernard Travers revisits an unlikely romantic interlude with the mother of his teenage pen pal that has sustained him for 40 years. Twenty-Twenty Vision is a collection of interlinked short stories about hindsight and late middle-age regret subtly framed within the first year of the pandemic. It’s also a portrait, an emotional map of the 1950s generation moving into the third age with a mixture of apprehension and regret. The characters make chastening discoveries – one finds after a lifetime that she’s a bullying victim, another draws up a curriculum vitae of her emotional life when there are no jobs left to apply for. The work focuses on a handful of characters – Christine, Olivia, Bernard, Freddie, Triona and Eva – as they revisit their past and grapple with late-life perspectives. The overarching narrative is connected by character and situation, and united in theme, to form a tapestry of late middle-age reckoning.
Flyboy in the Buttermilk
An electrifying collection of essays from legendary cultural critic and Pulitzer Prize-winner Greg Tate
'Easily one of the greatest wordsmiths … [and] the best American writer and thinker of the past forty years' Washington Post
From one of the most original, creative, and provocative writers on American culture comes a now-classic collection of essays, delving 'far and wide into Black music, into film, into the beats and rhyme of culture' (Questlove).
These pieces orbit social, pop cultural, political, and economic subjects-- from the rise of hip-hop, the art of Jean-Michel Basquiat, the music of Miles Davis, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, Bad Brains, and many others, to the crisis of the Black intellectual and the irony of the GOP recruiting Black Americans. With unrivalled flair, Tate writes in a voice that is at once angry, joyous, self-critiquing, and dazzlingly witty.
Tate teaches us 'it is not too late to say too much, to be so dissatisfied with the world as it is that we throw far too many words toward the sky, and see what the heavens throw back' (Hanif Abdurraqib).
The Housewife
"The Housewife is everything I look for in a thriller: fast-paced with red-hot mounting tension. I was hooked from the very first chapter." - Freida McFadden
From the celebrated author of Finders Keepers comes a brand new, deliciously dark thriller about a woman who married the man of her dreams, only for him to become her worst nightmare.
***
Jodie always dreamed of being a housewife. And after a whirlwind romance, she marries renowned psychologist Dr Roy Davies and moves into his perfect Beverly Hills home. But the fairy tale fades fast. Roy is distant, his friends view her as a gold-digger, and the house reveres his late wife, Deborah, whose presence still looms over everyone and everything.
When Jodie learns Deborah became a recluse before death, she begins to suspect Roy was behind it. And the deeper she digs, the darker Roy's past appears-obsessive, controlling, unfaithful. Increasingly convinced he had something to do with Deborah's death, Jodie knows she should go to the police, but that would require revealing her own secret. A secret that could destroy her.
But Jodie won't be silenced. Because the truth about Roy is worse than she imagined-and now, trapped in a house built on lies, she must find a way out before she becomes the next perfect wife to vanish.
Natalie Barelli delivers a supercharged, addictive thriller that will have you hooked from start to finish-a must-read for psychological thriller and Freida McFadden fans.

Lichočar
Brno. Rok 1999. Přemysl „Přemek“ Příhoda, doktorand Masarykovy univerzity, si připravuje podklady pro svou doktorskou tezi o tajemném božstvu, proplétajícím se dějinami. Z akademického zájmu se brzy stane touha, pak obsese, a pak… Lichočar, kniha vydaná autorkami ze stejnojmenné witch-folkové kapely, je knihou o putování – Evropou, pověstmi, lidovými vyprávěnkami a starými vírami. Je to kniha o paměti. Individuálních vzpomínkách zachycených v denících a emailech – našeho hrdiny, jeho kolegů, přátel, nepřátel i historických osobností. Ale též paměti krajiny zničené válkou, takové, přes kterou se převalily dějiny a většinu paměti si odnesly. Je to kniha detektivní. Spolu s Přemkem jdeme po stopách čehosi, co si bere jména, podoby a životy. Co způsobuje neštěstí a z rozmaru rozdává nevyžádané dary. Jako refrén celým příběhem zní licho, lichoradka, lichočar… A v neposlední řadě je to kniha o kráse. Kráse hledání i tápání, kráse vědění, kráse slovanské a vůbec evropské mytologie, kráse strachu a přírody. Na pomezí fantastiky, detektivky a exkurze do bájné minulosti stojí Lichočar a vás s potměšilým šklebem zve, abyste ho následovali. Ale pozor. Licho nespí… Licho ví.
