Dissection of a Murder
**ALL first edition hardback copies feature beautiful sprayed edges - available while stock lasts**
Breathlessly compulsive courtroom drama with expertly-crafted twists that you won't see coming, Dissection of a Murder is the razor-sharp debut novel from Jo Murray.
A dead judge. A silent defendant. And a courtroom full of liars.
When Leila Reynolds is handed her first murder case, she's shocked at how high-profile it is: the murder of a well-respected, well-known judge. This shouldn't be the kind of case she's leading; it's way beyond her expertise. But the defendant, Jack Millman, is clear. He wants her, and only her.
To make things worse, he's refusing to talk. How is she supposed to prove herself on what appears to be an unwinnable case?
Losing is not an option. She must find the most persuasive argument. Trials aren't won by convincing judges or fellow barristers - they're all about convincing a jury.
Suddenly, Leila finds herself fighting not only to keep Jack out of prison, but also to keep her own secrets buried.
It's true what they say - there are two sides to every story.
Guilty or not guilty?
You decide . . .
The Sisters
MEET THE MIKKOLA SISTERS: INA, EVELYN, AND ANASTASIA.
Ina is tall, serious, a compulsive organizer. Evelyn is dreamy, magnetic, a smooth talker. And Anastasia is moody, chaotic, quick to anger.
Following them from afar is Jonas. Like the sisters, he's Swedish Tunisian, raised in Stockholm but yearning for so much more. His life intersects with theirs across decades and continents, from Tunis to Berlin and New York. And when Evelyn goes missing, it's Jonas who tracks her down - and helps break the curse that has loomed over the Mikkolas for years.

Shrink Solves Murder
Her 3 o'clock just became a murder case...
When a body is found near Beachy Head, the police chalk it up to suicide - a tragic but not uncommon end in these parts.
But local psychotherapist Patricia Phillips isn't convinced.
The victim? Her three o'clock patient, Henry Clayton.
The cause of death is supposedly self-inflicted. Yet Pat can't shake the belief that someone wanted Henry Clayton dead. She spends her working life listening to histories and secrets, and she has a nose for when a story doesn't quite ring true.
Drawn from the therapy room to the crime scene, Pat begins to notice what others appear to overlook.
At her side is her best friend Prichard - a home-brewer of fearsome, stomach-turning concoctions, an excellent cook, and a man who seems to get along with everyone. Which makes him useful for infiltrating village life.
As Pat and Prichard look beneath the village's thin veneer of normality - one that barely conceals its appetites - they discover a killer hiding in plain sight.
Shrink Solves Murder is a warm, witty, and perceptive crime caper from the nation's favourite therapist.

Alexander Hamilton
Discover the inspiring story of Alexander Hamilton, the Founding Father, political trailblazer and modern-day icon.
Alexander Hamilton's childhood was characterized by loss and hardship. Yet with a little help and a lot of tenacity, he travelled to America to pursue an education. Aged 15 he arrived in New York City as an immigrant and an orphan. He studied hard and became known for his intelligence, wit and impressive rhetorical skills. He was soon swept up in the revolutionary cause and joined the army. During the Revolutionary war he became a close friend of George Washington and after America gained independence, he trained as a lawyer, founded a national bank and was appointed to Congress. As a politician, he co-wrote the highly influential Federalist papers and later became the first Secretary of the Treasury.
Alexander was one of the lesser-known Founding Fathers, until Lin-Manuel Miranda's smash-hit musical Hamilton catapulted him to global fame, sharing his incredible story with millions.
This powerful book features stunning illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the protagonist's life.

How to Fly
A unique and all-encompassing exploration of the wonders of flight and the way different species have evolved different solutions to the problem of defying gravity – including humans. Flight fascinates us. We thrill to birds, we adore butterflies, we’re baffled by bats and we can hardly believe in pterodactyls. We worship angels and we compare love, religious ecstasy and artistic achievement to flight. We love the idea of flight so much we invented machines that at last allowed us to fly. Many died to make human flight possible. In How to Fly, bestselling writer Simon Barnes brings together all aspects of aerial life – evolution, technology, mythology, religion, nature and imagination – in a celebration of the wonders of flight. Barnes looks at the physics of flying and how flight has evolved quite separately four times over (or five, if we count humans). He examines how these creatures do it: from the nocturnal agility of bats and the bees that beat their wings 230 times per second, to the extinct reptile quetzalcoatlus with its 10-metre wingspan and the Arctic terns that travel 75,000km every year. He also explores how the great poets, mystics, saints, musicians and athletes have all, in their different ways, succeeded in getting high and getting us high. Sweeping in scope and packed with fresh insights, How to Fly is a book that sets free the eagle within us all.

The Mobius Book
The sudden, devastating breakup of a relationship in the winter of 2021 left Catherine Lacey depressed and adrift. She began cataloguing the wreckage of her life and the beauty of her friendships, a process that led to the writing of fiction that was both entirely imagined and strangely, utterly true. She soon realised that she was writing about her relationship with faith. Betrayed by the mercurial partner she had trusted and suddenly catapulted into the unknown, Lacey's appetite vanished completely, a visceral reminder of the teenage emaciation that followed the ending of her belief in God. Bending form, both she and her fictional characters recall gnostic experiences with animals, close encounters with male anger, grief-driven lust and the redemptive power of platonic love and narrative itself. A hybrid work that is both non-fiction and fiction with no beginning and no ending, The Möbius Book troubles the line between memory and imagination with an open-hearted defence of faith's inherent danger.

The Night of the Scourge
A riveting and epic family drama set in WWII-era Norway, award-winning author Lars Mytting's The Night of the Scourge is the final novel in the internationally bestselling Sister Bells trilogyButangen, Norway, the years before WWII: Astrid Hekne has inherited the fighting spirit and hypersensitivity of her grandmother, who was a protector of the mythic Sister Bells that had once hung in the village's centuries-old stave church. The once-traitorous priest Kai Schweigaard, now in his eighties, is wondering how his death, prophesied in a centuries-old tapestry, will come to pass. He delves into the myths about the Night of the Scourge, which, according to old village beliefs, is when the known world will fall and the Earth will be scraped down to bare rock. Then Norway is occupied by the Nazis. Astrid joins the Resistance, and Kai is thrown out of his own church. Betrayal within Astrid's own family unites the Sister Bells in Dresden. Special effort and sacrifice, not only from the Hekne family, will be needed to combat the postwar rumours and mistrust. This family drama, set in the tumultuous times of WWII, beautifully completes the Sister Bells trilogy. But while it connects to the previous books in surprising and thrilling ways, it can also be read as a standalone, a grand and epic novel that intertwines Norwegian folklore and myths with a rich story of hardship and passion.
