The Killing Stones
For the first time since the beloved Shetland series, Detective Jimmy Perez is back. He's traded the stark beauty of Shetland for the wild isolation of Orkney, but the darkness of human nature follows him everywhere.
When a ferocious storm rages across the islands, it leaves behind more than just damage: it uncovers the body of Archie Stout, a popular, larger-than-life member of the community.
The murder weapon? A Neolithic stone, bearing cryptic, ancient inscriptions.
Now living in Orkney with his partner, Willow, and their young son, Perez is drawn into a case that is chillingly personal-Archie was a friend from his own childhood. And the island is full of familiar faces, all of whom are potential suspects in the killing.
Perez must immerse himself in the lives of the islanders, separating truth from local legend before a desperate killer can strike again... and threaten the new life he's desperately trying to build.

The Lady Killer
A dizzying tale of lust and murder in the shady world of Tokyo's cabaret bars, from one of Japan's greatest mystery writers-now with a striking new cover design.
"An outstanding puzzle mystery." - Publishers Weekly, starred review
A hunter prowls the night spots of Shinjuku.
But he's the one walking into a trap...
Ichiro Honda leads a double life. By day, he is a devoted husband and a diligent worker, but bynight, he moves through the shadow world of Tokyo's cabaret bars and nightclubs in search of vulnerable women to seduce, and then abandon.
While Ichiro meticulously documents these encounters in his diary, the daily newspaper reports of local murders seem to throw up a disturbing pattern.
A trail of bodies is appearing in his wake, so it seems. First Keiko Obana, a typist, jumps from a second floor window. Then others start to follow: a supermarket cashier strangled in her apartment in Kinshibori. A girl he picked up about two months ago at a dance hall in Koto Rakutenchi, is found murdered in the same gruesome way. The hunter becomes the prey and Ichiro realises he has been caught in a snare.
As the trap closes around him, even Ichiro begins to doubt his innocence. Can he find the real killer before it's too late, and - more importantly - will anyone believe him?
From the beloved Japanese mystery author of The Master Key, this gorgeously redesigned paperback of his cult classic thriller will keep fans old and new guessing until the very end.

Meet Me at the Seaside Cottages
EVERYONE IS SEARCHING FOR THEIR PERFECT HOUSE. BUT HOME IS REALLY WHERE THE HEART IS ...??
Janey Carter has a lot to be grateful for - a home by the sea in Carso that she renovated herself, a job as an audiologist that she loves, two great kids, and a network of kind and supportive friends. But since her husband left, her confidence has taken a nosedive. And then, out of the blue, her grumpy 30-year-old daughter announces she's moving back home. Janey loves Essie dearly but they only just made it out alive from her adolescence. And this really is going to cramp her soon-to-be-rediscovered dating style.
Yes, Essie Carter is grumpy but she's just lost her job, she can't afford her rent in Edinburgh and her boyfriend isn't ready to commit. There's nothing for it but to admit defeat and hope the sea air soothes her soul. Life seems to be punching this millennial squarely in the face.
Living back under the same roof brings its challenges. But a combination of rescue dogs, pub quizzes and a surprise project doing up the unloved Seagate Cottages next door slowly brings mother and daughter closer together. Meanwhile, the steady stream of people coming past the house with fabric swatches and paint brings revelations for Essie, and offers Janey a surprise second chance at love as well.

Two girls enveloped in love, trapped by the social conventions of Casablanca at the dawn of the twenty-first century and silenced by the political 'truths' that envelop their lives.

It takes root and leaves a mark you cannot shake.’Lesley Bond and her partner Gordon were the first couple to embark on the six-month caretaking residency on the Great Blasket Island, one of Ireland’s most remote and historically rich locations.

But every now and again, a new group actually manages to seize power, and it changes history. In his new book, Revolting, bestselling Horrible Histories author Terry Deary takes readers on a hilarious and eye-opening journey through some of the most significant rebellions and uprisings that have happened through the ages, including:Ivaylo, the Bulgarian swineherd who managed to fight off the Mongols, slay the Tsar and marry his widow in the space of a year. Spartacus, a touch more modest in his aims, who mainly wanted to go home to see his mum. The two suffragists who posted themselves by Royal Mail to see the prime minister (a first-class idea, though Downing Street declined the parcel). From the peasants to the slaves, the martyrs to the mutineers, Revolting celebrates the resilience and determination of those who dared to challenge the status quo through the ages. Praise for A History of Britain in Ten Enemies:'If you could take just one history book to a desert island, this would be it.

Shakespeare's Notebook
The plays and poetry of William Shakespeare have entertained and enlightened us for more than 400 years. By exploring his life in Elizabethan England, Shakespeare’s Notebook provides a fascinating and detailed picture of the man behind the plays, and the theatrical world he inhabited. Through his works, contemporary sources and a wide selection of illustrations, this book reveals how Shakespeare’s plays relate to his own roles of husband, father, actor and playwright. It celebrates the enduring legacy of rich language and memorable characters that resonate in many forms today.
The Odyssey
With his Odyssey, best-selling author and classicist Daniel Mendelsohn has created a momentous new work, hailed by classicists and poets alike - a translation to stand with those of E. V. Rieu and Robert Fagles.
Setting aside the streamlining, modernizing approach of many recent translations, Mendelsohn artfully reproduces the epic's formal qualities - meter, enjambment, alliteration, assonance - and in so doing restores to Homer's master work its archaic grandeur. His expansive six-beat line, far closer to the original than that of other recent translations, allows him to capture each of Homer's verses line for line, without sacrificing the amplitude and shadings of the original.
The result is the richest, most precise, and most musical Odyssey in English, one that fully conveys its oral poetics while bringing to vivid life the gripping adventure, profound human insight and powerful themes that make Homer's work resonate some twenty-eight centuries after its composition. Supported by an extensive introduction and the fullest notes and commentary currently available, Mendelsohn's Odyssey is poised to become the authoritative English-language version of this magnificent, endlessly enjoyable masterpiece.
Autobiography of a Face
A New York Times Notable Book''It is impossible to read Autobiography of a Face without having your consciousness raised forever''Mirabella''Both book and life are unforgettable''New York TimesAt age nine, Lucy Grealy was diagnosed with a potentially terminal cancer. When she returned to school with a third of her jaw removed, she faced the cruel taunts of classmates. It took her twenty years of living with a distorted self-image and more than thirty years of reconstructive procedures before she could come to terms with her appearance. In this lyrical and strikingly candid memoir, Grealy tells her story of great suffering and remarkable strength without sentimentality and with considerable wit. She captures what it is like as a child and a young adult to be torn between two warring impulses: to feel that more than anything else we want to be loved for who we are, while wishing desperately and secretly to be perfect.
The Lost Folk
'An exceptionally thoughtful and beautifully written.' Maxine Peake'Erudite, questing and endlessly fascinating . . . the book that British folk has long needed.' Katherine May'A splendid museum full of strange and wonderful things.' Peter RossA fresh and engaging celebration of the customs, places, objects and peoples that make up what we know as 'folk' in Britain. By its nature, folk is ephemeral: tricky to define, hard to preserve and even more difficult to resurrect. But folk culture is all around us; sitting in our churches, swinging from our pubs and dancing through our streets, patiently waiting to be discovered, appreciated, saved and cherished. In The Lost Folk, Lally MacBeth is on a mission to breathe new life into these rapidly disappearing customs. She reminds us that folk is for everyone, and does not belong to an imagined, halcyon past, but is constantly being drawn from everyday lives and communities. As well as looking at what folk customs have meant in Britain's past, she shines a light on what they can and should mean as we move into the future - encouraging us to use the book as an inspiration, and become collectors and creators of our very own folk traditions.
