Tracks in Chaos
When political action is imperative, we can be tempted to look to philosophy for guiding principles. This project, however, historically has been doomed to fail. Throughout Tracks in Chaos, philosopher Raymond Geuss examines closely the consequences of this failure. In crisp and lucid prose, he ranges over topics that include political realism, reflection in politics, universalism, solidarity, our utopian aspirations, and the role of fear in motivating censorship. Geuss ultimately paints a picture that is both rich and uncompromising, as is his conclusion: that we must learn to accept incompleteness, contingency and pluralism in our search for orientation. This is an incisive and elegant new collection of essays by one of our finest moral and political philosophers.

Martin's Eyes
Austria, 1946. In a remote hunting lodge hidden deep in the forests of a shattered Europe, two men face each other across a kitchen table. One is a fugitive Nazi. The other has come to bring him to justice. Between them lies a gun - and the ghosts of a war that refuses to die. As captor and captive trade stories, truth and deceit entwine. Their recollections span a continent in flames: from the Blitz that tore through a British city to the brutal siege of Monte Cassino; from the frozen hell of the Eastern Front to the chaos of a death march. Loyalties and lives were tested to breaking point. Across this epic story there is much that is not as it seems. As the day draws on, hidden identities, a forbidden love and long-buried betrayals surface - until some players in this tense drama must reckon with not only their foe, but also themselves. By the time evening approaches and the world slides into the shadow of the Cold War, one question remains: in a landscape where so many souls are stained by conflict, is anyone entirely guilt free? Martin's Eyes is an enthralling historical thriller of conscience and survival - where the line between hero and villain is sometimes blurred by the ashes of war. 'Powerful and gripping - move over Len Deighton!' Robert Lyman, historian'This is an ambitious and atmospheric novel of wartime intrigue and adventure. Although it spans many theatres of war - and numerous gritty war stories - it hinges on a small number of characters you come to care about, and who consistently surprise right up to the final pages' Phil Craig,author of 1945 The Reckoning'An unforgettable saga of converging destiny of captive and captor, set in the ruins of vengeance-torn Europe at war's end.' Julian Stockwin, novelist, best-selling author of the Kydd series and other books'Iain Ballantyne has written a gripping novel of love, betrayal and espionage spanning the years of the Second World. Martin's Eyes is John Le Carre meets Alistair MacLean.' Gavin Mortimer, author of Stirling's Men & The Phoney Major'An impressive and highly ambitious debut. The detail is superb, the characters are compelling and the action is relentless.' Alexander Norman, author of Captain de Havilland's Moth'Martin's Eyes is a terrifically gripping WW2 novel. Beautifully written and wonderfully atmospheric it tells a compelling tale of wartime life in all its aspects. Masterly!' Mark Ellis, author of the award-winning Frank Merlin WW2 London detective series. 'Written with the flourish of a storyteller and the eye for detail and accuracy of a historian, Martin's Eyes is an engrossing thriller, a searing blend of war, crime, psychology and history. Iain Ballantyne perfectly captures the mood, chaos and ambiguity of the immediate post-war period on the Continent, taking the reader into a dark - and often forgotten - world where the line between justice for victims of Nazi crimes and revenge are frequently blurred.' Richard Hargreaves, author of Opening the Gates of Hell: Operation Barbarossa, June - July 1941.

Sinners Atone
I was bleeding out and halfway to Hell when God sent me an angel.
He had no business sending her to a man like me.
She was sunshine wrapped in pink glitter - soft where I was jagged, and gentle enough to hurt.
Under the sick glow of a streetlamp, I was delirious enough to tell her she was beautiful.
And when she smiled and asked me to say it again, I almost believed I could be saved.
But then she asked me something else.
Something that stole the air from my lungs.
"Can you keep a secret?"
Turns out, even angels have sins. And this one should've left me to die before my world destroyed us both….

Bring the House Down
'Punchily provocative and often bitingly funny' THE TIMES, Book of the Month ‘Binge-worthy, real, really funny’ KILEY REID ‘Spiky, smart and so original’ CLAIRE DAVERLEY 'Entertaining and very timely… One of the most enjoyable novels I’ve read in a long time' GUARDIAN 'Unputdownable' DAILY MAIL A ONE WOMAN SHOW A ONE NIGHT STAND A ONE STAR REVIEW Theatre critic Alex Lyons made his name from his brutal, brilliant reviews. So when he sees Hayley Sinclair's dismal one-woman show at the Edinburgh Fringe, he thinks nothing of dashing off another of his trademark one-star pans for the newspaper. He also thinks nothing of taking her home after the performance, failing at any point to mention who he is. What he doesn't expect is for Hayley to revamp her show into a review of Alex's entire life, exposing what an awful person he really is. Worse, the show is a smash hit, and Alex is about to become national news. But can Hayley bring the establishment down without taking herself with it? Funny and thrilling, Bring the House Down gives you a front row seat to the downfall of the people who tell us what to think. It's about art, performance, female rage, and how while revenge may be sweet, it can also be perilous. 'An enticing debut. This is a binge-worthy novel that explores our obsessions, our inner critic, and who we think we are in person and in print. Intimate, real, and really funny. This one has teeth' KILEY REID 'Sharp, shrewd and witty… a stunning debut, one that I’m sure will be binge-read by many' INDEPENDENT, Book of the Month 'Dark, obsessive and razor-sharp, this is your next Baby Reindeer fix’ ELLE
