Backstage
‘Donna Leon has created a beautifully crafted looking glass into her world.’ TLS‘To read her is to restore the soul.’ THE TIMES‘Leon writes with great literary panache and evocative power.’ SPECTATORWhether walking along the canals of Venice or teaching English to Iranian pilots, interviewing blood diamond dealers or reading Great Expectations, Donna Leon has found inspiration in the strangest of places. In this engaging collection of stories on writing, reading, teaching and Venice, Leon offers new insight into the moments that shaped her into a celebrated, internationally bestselling author.

Readers will be as caught up in her world as she is in his.
Jack-in-the-Box
Home can be the most dangerous place. They had cameras, alarms, lights, even guard dogs. They had storm doors and locks on their windows. They knew martial arts, they had knives to hand, and one of them even had a gun. And he still got in . . . A terrifying killer is haunting Glasgow’s affluent suburbs – invading homes and smothering people left on their own. The tabloids have a name for the murderer based on his method of folding the bodies into tiny spaces, as well as his uncanny knack of seemingly springing out of nowhere: Jack-in-the-Box. Inspector Lomond has an impossible case to crack. The houses involved have state-of-the-art security systems and were all securely locked at the time of death. There is no evidence of forced entry, and video footage shows no sign of any intruders. How is he getting in? How is he getting out? And who will be next?
Fatale
Murder isn’t always ugly.Aimée is drop-dead gorgeous, razor-sharp, and lethally efficient. A killer with a cool head and a taste for chaos, she arrives in the backwater town of Bléville – a festering stew of grudges, corruption, and small-town rot – ready to make a killing.She’s played this game before: stir up trouble, pit the locals against one another, then disappear with blood on her hands and money in her pocket. But this time, something breaks. Aimée lets someone in – and the game turns personal.Jean-Patrick Manchette transformed the crime novel into a weapon of satire and stylish mayhem. Fatale is his bloodiest, funniest, and most brilliantly unhinged work: a riot of revenge, farce, and gleeful destruction.PRAISE FOR JEAN-PARICK MANCHETTE‘Manchette was was Le Homme... We must revere him now and rediscover him this very instant. ’ James Ellroy‘Manchette is Camus on overdrive... He deserves much the same attention’ James Sallis‘Manchette is legend among all of the crime writers I know, and with good reason: his novels never fail to stun and thrill from page one’ Duane Swierczynski

One Hand Clapping
One Hand Clapping is the story of Janet and Howard Shirley, living a dreary life in the dreary fictional northern city of Bradcaster. Howard works at the local garage and Janet works in the local supermarket, and they spend their evenings having dinner in front of the television. Their lives begin to change when Howard''s photographic memory wins them a gameshow fortune. Janet doesn''t want their lives to change that much. She is quite happy with the routine of their ordinary life, improved as it is by consumer goods and modern household conveniences. But once Howard unleashes his unusual brain on the world, the used-car salesman can''t seem to stop; and what he sees as the logical conclusion to their success isn''t something Janet can agree to. Anthony Burgess''s darkly comic satire of 1960s consumerism explores themes of the importance or otherwise of culture and education and the growing influence of America, and taps into contemporary anxieties about the future
Growing Pains
Alexander is the most normal and loved eleven-year-old boy you will ever meet. Until one day, he isn't. Living in the south east of England in the 1990s, Alexander's life appears stable - a warm home, a loving mother, and a familiar school routine. But beneath the surface, things begin to shift. Affection turns cold. Words are twisted. The father he once looked up to becomes a figure of confusion and fear. As the tension in the house builds, Alexander is forced to question everything: his place in the family, his worth, and whether the love he thought was unconditional ever really existed. While friendships and football offer brief moments of safety, the emotional pressure at home grows unbearable, and he's left trying to make sense of a world that suddenly seems stacked against him. Growing Pains is a raw, emotionally charged debut inspired by true events. It lays bare the hidden scars of emotional abuse and explores the quiet, persistent damage inflicted by those closest to us. Told entirely from Alexander's perspective, it captures the confusion, shame, and resilience of a child trying to survive in a home where silence is the only defence. This is book one in a powerful new series following Alexander's fight to be heard, to heal, and to find out who he is beyond the pain. A portion of profits from this book will be donated to child protection charities, including the NSPCC.
