Twilight in Musashino
Musashino, 1959.
A young Japanese flight attendant is found strangled on the icy banks of the river. The police suspect foul play - but the deeper they dig, the more they collide with a wall of silence.
At the centre of it all stands a foreign priest and the Guglielmo Church, a charitable Christian mission. The dead woman's connection to the church is undeniable. But what begins as a routine investigation quickly turns into something far more treacherous, entangling together narcotics, post-war relief schemes and the delicate web of international diplomacy.
As the story moves from back alleys to diplomatic sanctuaries, following the twists and turns of Detective Fujisawa's investigation, Seicho Matsumoto masterfully constructs a slow-burning procedural where truth is clear but justice is not permitted.
The Story of Birds
Billions of birds share the planet with us. With their flamboyant plumage and joyous dawn serenades, many of them are impossible to miss. But how did they get here, how did they break the bounds of Earth and begin to fly, and how does their legacy shape our world?
In delightfully energetic prose, expert palaeontologist Steve Brusatte takes us through their 150-million-year history, from their origins among small carnivorous dinosaurs to the 10,000-plus species that thrive today. Along the way, we meet fantastic birds from all around the world, some known only through fossils. There are elephant birds that stand as high as a basketball hoop and lay eggs as big as watermelons; demon ducks that weigh more than cows; aeroplane-sized seabirds that soar the world’s thermals; and predatory penguins the size of gorillas.
Lively, majestic and full of wonder, The Story of Birds will ensure you never see birds the same way again.
Amid Clouds and Bones
A princess is determined to survive an arranged marriage to a heartless fae prince in this stand-alone enemies-to-lovers romantasy perfect for fans of Devney Perry and LJ Andrews.
Mildred may be a princess, but she’s also half fae in a kingdom of humans. She’s spent her years tucked out of sight…until the Seelie Court seeks an alliance. The key? Mildred’s hand in marriage to none other than Prince Atakan the Heartless.
The Seelie prince loathes everyone—but nobody more than his betrothed. In the lead-up to their nuptials, each encounter grows more terrifying than the last as Atakan proves to be as heartless as he is beautiful.
Fear would only doom Mildred faster. So she learns to hide it behind deadly games she soon finds herself happy to play. Mildred isn’t supposed to crave a monster—or sink to his level. But just when she thinks she may be capable of taming the untamable, fate intervenes…and delivers her straight to Atakan’s enemy.

The Turing Protocol
Humanity's best kept secret may be its best hope for survival.
In the midst of World War Two, Enigma codebreaker Alan Turing finds himself on the brink of a discovery that will change the world: a way to send a message back into the recent past. But when his invention successfully averts disaster on D-Day, the danger it poses in the wrong hands becomes terrifyingly clear. As Turing's enemies close in, only one decision is possible: Nautilus must be kept hidden from the world, safe in the care of the only person he can trust.
Seventy-five years later, Annabelle McIntosh's life is upended when she learns she will become the latest custodian of the greatest secret of the modern age - Turing's Nautilus machine. Following in her family's footsteps, and bound by Turing's strict principles governing the use of his creation, Annabelle is soon faced with the same impossible choices. Nautilus has the power to prevent catastrophe, but the wrong decision could have devastating consequences.
When the stakes are at their highest, will using the machine save the world - or destroy it?

Ticho medzi slovami
Každý deň stretávame mnoho ľudí. Zažívame s nimi mnoho malých príbehov. Nenápadných. Väčšinu z nich si ani nevšimneme. Rozhovor starších ľudí pred panelákom, ďakovné gesto šoféra autobusu, nešťastného človeka v električke v ruke s listom od manželky…
Táto kniha je zbierkou skutočných príbehov zo života. Takých, aké sa dejú každému z nás. Sú to drobné okamihy radosti, dojatia, ľudskosti, prekvapenia. Možno v nich spoznáte seba, svoje deti, susedov, kolegov alebo celkom neznámych ľudí, ktorých ste stretli iba na niekoľko sekúnd.
Pretože život sa neskladá len z veľkých udalostí. Najväčšie príbehy sa často skrývajú v tých malých, „obyčajných“ chvíľach.
Viktor
Básnická kniha Viktor je v jistém slova smyslu sebevražedná – Kamil Bouška v ní plnou vahou svého autorského já masakruje obraz básníka jako empatické niterné bytosti a ušlechtilého komentátora světa. Potvrzuje tím příslušnost k cechu básníků prokletých. Viktor jako by se zrodil mezi stránkami Bouškovy všeobjímající trilogie Dokumenty a představoval jediný myslitelný způsob, jak na ni navázat. Je, a zároveň není jejím protipólem. Bouškova vášnivá, a přitom promyšlená básnická polemika se světem i se sebou samým pokračuje, riskantně, jakýmikoliv prostředky, do krajnosti.
Sharpe’s Storm
If any man can do the impossible it’s Richard Sharpe …
The year is 1813. France is a battlefield, and winter shows no mercy. Amidst brutal conditions, Major Richard Sharpe finds himself saddled with an unexpected burden: Rear-Admiral Sir Joel Chase, dispatched by the Admiralty with sealed orders, unshakable confidence, and a frankly terrifying enthusiasm for combat.
Sharpe’s mission from Wellington is clear, yet anything but simple: keep Sir Joel alive.
Sir Joel could hold the key to defeating Napoleon once and for all. But to pull off his audacious plan, he needs someone who knows how to fight dirty, think fast, and survive the impossible.
He needs Sharpe …
Sleep
A family secret. A new love. The chance to start again.
Margaret's childhood is one of Saturday morning pancakes and sunlit swimming pools behind white picket fences. Then, one fateful summer, everything changes. A line is crossed and the simple pleasures of girlhood slip away.
Twenty-five years later, Margaret is newly divorced with two young daughters of her own. She's starting over while discovering the pleasures of a new boyfriend. But, returning to the family home at her mother's beckoning, she finds herself swept up in the unspoken truth of that long ago summer. She must now reckon with what binds the past to the present, one generation to the next, and safety to the freedom we most desire.
A must-read novel of the summer in Sunday Times Style, Elle and Good Housekeeping.
Crime and Punishment
HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics.
'Do you understand, sir, do you understand what it means when you have absolutely nowhere to turn?'
Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov – an impoverished student drop-out and amateur philosopher – callously murders a pawnbroker in the slums of St Petersburg. Pursued by the law and his own ravaged conscience, Dostoyevsky’s iconic anti-hero spirals into crisis as the noose tightens, and everything he thought he knew about morality and sin is corrupted by his hideous act of violence.
In this psychological masterpiece of good and evil, Dostoyevsky questions what murder does to the soul and whether redemption is possible. One of the great works of world literature, Crime and Punishment is an epic of human nature, guilt and salvation.
