Saltwater Mansions
'Genre-bending, genius . . . A superb, intoxicating book'Telegraph'Deliciously twisty. I raced through it in one evening'The Times 'A proper read-it-in-one-go book, opening up an advent calendar of lives behind the doors of a block of flats' Adam Kay, author of This is Going to HurtMargate is in the grip of a heatwave when David Whitehouse stumbles across the mysterious story of a local woman who lived on the ground floor of Saltwater Mansions, a block of flats not far from the sea. On paper, Caroline Lane was unremarkable. She paid her mortgage every month. She always paid her bills. But nobody had seen or heard from her for 13 years, and no one had ever come looking. She had disappeared completely. David quickly becomes as fascinated by this missing woman as the residents of Saltwater Mansions, all of whom have their own theories to share, and their own unique stories to tell. As his obsession grows, David unearths vital clues that private detectives and amateur investigators alike have failed to spot. But the closer he gets to the truth, the clearer it becomes that this mystery was never meant to be solved, and that some stories don't want to be told. What if this one was never about Caroline Lane at all? From acclaimed and award-winning author David Whitehouse, Saltwater Mansions is an astonishing work of creative non-fiction blending reportage and memoir to explore the extraordinary hidden lives of ordinary people, the impact of grief, and the dangerous allure of taking true crime stories into our own hands.

Brave, revealing and unexpected' Cathy Rentzenbrink, author of The Last Act of Love'A tremendous chronicler of real stories . . . an utterly absorbing read'i Paper'Ordinary lives, family grief, true crime, the dangers of amateur sleuthing, unexpected stories . . . there's a whole universe of humanity wrapped up in David Whitehouse's much anticipated new work of non-fiction . . .

Empire with a Vengeance
An absorbing new history of European colonialism, showing how ideas of retribution and revenge were used to justify violent conquest and rule. Today, the use of military force to punish enemies is strictly prohibited under international law. It is also a widely accepted principle that acts of vengeance and reprisal have almost no legitimate place in warfare. Throughout much of Western history, however, punishment and retaliation were not only important aspects of conflict, but were key justifications for waging war in the first place—particularly when it came to the defence of national honour. European empires were no exception to this rule. Throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, two of the world’s most formidable powers, France and Britain, regularly framed wars of conquest and counterinsurgency using the language of justice and revenge. Whether to avenge alleged insults, punish perceived transgressions, or exact retribution for ‘crimes’ committed against the dignity and authority of Europeans, ‘honour’ was used as a legal, religious and moral rationale for violent expansion, consolidation and policing. Based on extensive archival research in multiple languages, Empire with a Vengeance is the first comparative examination of honour and revenge in colonial policy. Showing the central importance of these seemingly archaic concepts, it offers crucial insight into the brutal dynamics of empire’s ‘civilising mission’.
Depraved Desires
My monster isn't locked away anymore. He's free. And he's mine. Every wall I once built between us has been demolished, replaced by Ghost's merciless obsession. He isn't my convicted patient anymore. He's my shadow, my captor, and my addiction. Except it's not my fear he wants anymore. It's my total surrender. The deeper I fall into Ghost's world of vengeance and destruction, the more I see the truth: He doesn't just crave me. He wants to remake me in his image. And the most terrifying part? Somewhere in the darkness . . . I want it too. So, when I uncover the brutal truth about my parents' deaths, a fire ignites in me. Revenge. The killers thought they buried their sins with the bodies they left behind. They never expected me to unearth them. Now Ghost and I share a hunger that no justice system can contain. Together, we'll make them bleed. Or die trying. Depraved Desires is Book 2 in the Villains & Vices duet. It contains explicit sexual content and a morally gray hero that's over the top jealous/possessive, a stalker who falls first, has Touch Her & Die energy, and is willing to do whatever it takes to have her. A complete list of the trigger warnings can be found below. stalking/obsession, blackmail/coercion, breaking and entering, violence, murder, attempted rape (not by the hero), grief

Maškaráda géniů
Maškarádu géniů, třetí díl Rakouské trilogie, považoval Fritz von Herzmanovsky-Orlando za své vrcholné dílo, souhrn všech zásadních témat, která ho celý tvůrčí život provázela: Erós jako vítěz nad racionalitou a pořádky mužského světa, znejistění muži jako oběti a hračky v rukou neporazitelných ženských protihráček; zpřítomnění řecké a byzantské mytologie, její surrealistické propletení se současnou banalitou a komedií dell´arte, odbourání hranic mezi minulým a současným, mezi mýtem, iluzí a realitou; zobrazení světa jako nestabilního místa a neuspořádané sbírky kuriozit (jež je současně cenností i smetištěm) a člověka v něm jako oběti posedlostí, obsesí a metamorfóz všeho druhu. I tento román končí tragicky jako oba předchozí, a přesto je plný typického hýřivého, skurilního humoru, legračních figurek a nedostižně originálních nápadů.
Dávej na sebe pozor!
V poslední době vycházejí zejména knížky významných horolezeckých osobností, opatřené bohatými fotografiemi. O těch obyčejných "dělnících hor" a milovnících sportovního lezení se však píše jen velmi málo. Ve svých povídkách jsem se snažil přiblížit zážitky méně nápadných lidiček. Proto je věnuji všem posedlým romantikou a dobrodružstvím, kteří sice nedosáhli vrcholných výkonů, ale přesto byli šťastni.
Introdukované dřeviny v českém lesním hospodářství
V souvislosti s klimatickou změnou a s nezbytným záměrem zajistit stabilní a funkční lesní porosty roste zájem odborné lesnické veřejnosti také o využití druhů, které u nás nejsou původní. Rovněž potřeba nahradit stávající monokulturní porosty stabilnějšími vede ke snahám o rozšíření sortimentu dřevin schopných odolat dnešnímu turbulentnímu prostředí. Proto je cílem publikace shrnout disponibilní poznatky o introdukovaných dřevinách využitelných lesnickou praxí. Kromě douglasky, grandisky a dubu červeného jsou analyzovány i dřeviny méně zastoupené. Snahou je poskytnout současný stav poznání ohledně jejich ekologických nároků, možnostech pěstování i vystihnout případná rizika, která jsou s rozšiřováním nových druhů v lesních porostech potenciálně spojena.

The Life and Death of Peter Sellers
'A fascinating, tragic and instructive story, vividly told' Sunday TelegraphRoger Lewis, in his no-holds-barred biography, exposes a Peter Sellers the world little knows. Recognized as the greatest British comic since Charlie Chaplin, Sellers was the grand master of fifty-five films - from Dr. Strangelove, to Being There and the Pink Panther hits. But shadowing his phenomenal career was a history of increasingly bizarre behaviour involving psychotic violence, compulsive promiscuity, drug abuse and humiliating self-destructive obsessions with people including Princess Margaret, Sophia Loren, Liza Minnelli and each of his four wives (Ann Hayes, Britt Ekland, Miranda Quarry and Lynne Frederick). He alternately showered his wives and children with gifts and then threatened to kill them. Sellers' fluidity as an actor made for a terrifying madness that grew like a slow metastasizing cancer throughout his adult life. The Life and Death of Peter Sellers concludes with his premature death at the age of 54, 'sick at heart and alone in those sunless hotel rooms', so recoiled from intimacy that no one really knew him anymore. PRAISE FOR THE LIFE AND DEATH OF PETER SELLERS'It is a mad book - but then the subject is a madman. I love Lewis's passion ... I recommend it' Sunday Times'Reinventing the genre as well as reassessing its subject with formidable intelligence, this book is a remarkable achievement' Literary Review

Daggermouth - The Heart Duology 1
He Is Her Ruin. She Is His Rebellion.
The first thing you'll learn in New Found Haven is mercy no longer exists. Showing mercy is a weakness, and weakness will get you killed.
The second thing is this-the Veyra are always watching. From the highest glass atrium in the Heart to the windowless slum dens of the Boundary, no movement goes unseen.
The last lesson is the hardest, but you must remember it.
Love outside of your ring is a death sentence.
The city is carved into rings of privilege and poverty, ruled by the masked elite who will do whatever it takes to hold onto power.
Obedience is demanded. Rebellion is crushed.
Greyson Serel has spent his life caught between two worlds. Publicly, he's the flawless heir to the presidency. Privately, he's entangled in secrets that could topple the regime. But when he's forced into a political marriage meant to bind him tighter to the governments brutal laws, he finds himself shackled to a bride who is as lethal as she is unwilling.
Shadera is a mercenary raised to kill, not to wed. Yet when her bullet misses its mark, survival leaves her bound to the very man she was sent to eliminate. Trapped inside the corrupt heart of the city, she becomes both prisoner and wife, her every step watched, her every move tested.
Their union is no love story-It's a battlefield. As secrets come to light and betrayals fester within the walls of power, Greyson and Shadera must decide between annihilating one another or burning the city to the ground together.
In a world where passion sparks rebellion and loyalty is paid for in blood, their forced bond may be the spark that ignites a revolution. Or the fire that consumes them both.
DAGGERMOUTH is a dark dystopian romance perfect for readers who love true enemies to lovers, The Hunger Games, marriage of inconvenience, The Handmaid's Tale, rise of the oppressed, and political intrigue that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
