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.

Strong women bringing toxic Alphas to their knees – the steamy and intoxicating romance from USA Today bestselling author, Kally Ash. Bane Rivera.

Then Wren Montana barged into my life demanding a pass for her brother's mistake. From the moment I saw her, I knew I had to have her. To claim her body, and her soul. But she didn't make it easy. No, my Wren, my Little Bird, was strong. Every time she told me no, every time she walked away, it only fanned the flames of my need, consuming me... Making me forget my one and only rule.

Behind closed doors, the blood flows… A fierce and addictive read about lust and power, the love we want versus the love we take, and the tinderbox secrets that hide so well in the heart of families, this is the searing new novel from the author of Spilt Milk.

There is a heatwave across Europe.
Goose and his three sisters gather at the family's house by Lake Orta in Piedmont, Italy. Their father, a famous artist, has recently remarried a much younger woman and decamped to Italy to finish his masterpiece. Now he is dead and there is no sign of a painting.
Although the siblings have always been close, as they search for answers over that summer, the things they learn - about themselves, their father and their new stepmother - will drive them apart before they can come to any kind of understanding of what their father's legacy truly is.
Extraordinarily compelling, at heart this is a novel about sibling relationships and those hairline cracks that can appear within a family: what what happens when they splinter, and what it would take to mend them.

By the time she discovers that it stands for ‘ethical non-monogamy' – and that he’s in a long-term open relationship – she already feels such undeniable, dizzying chemistry that she decides to give things a go.
And so Misty makes a pact with herself to date Christopher for the next six weeks while his partner is away. It’s all part of her plan: she wants to learn to become less attached, and to prepare herself for her next ‘real’ relationship. But is what she wants really what she needs?
