Against the Tide
PRAISE FOR AGAINST THE TIDE ‘Dripping with menace and authenticity’ PETER JAMES ‘Pacy and gripping’ LISA JEWELL ‘Genius’ LOUISE MINCHIN If the truth could destroy you, would you choose to know it? 'The emotion and shock of this book had me in tears more than once' Reader review DC Vinny Robson has spent his career seeking justice for others, but when an elderly couple are violently murdered in his hometown of Beachbrook, the investigation takes a devastating turn – one that cuts straight through his own family. As Vinny dives deeper, the case becomes more than a pursuit of a killer – it’s a fight against the undertow of his own past. But in chasing the truth, will he finally find justice, or will he drown in the wreckage of everything he thought he knew? Some truths should stay submerged. But once the tide turns, there’s no stopping what comes to light. An emotional crime drama set on the south coast of England, perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Gillian McAllister and Ann Cleeves. ‘A gripping and emotional rollercoaster of a read that does not let up on the tension one bit.’ HEIDI PERKS ‘Heartbreaking, nerve-shredding, and pulse-pounding.’ M. J. ARLIDGE ‘G. D. Wright writes crime fiction that packs an emotional punch and this book is no different; gut-wrenching, tear-jerking, and gripping.’ JACKIE KABLER 'A gripping crime thriller that combines twists and turns with a deeply emotional narrative. I couldn't put it down. Can't recommend it highly enough.' SIMON McCLEAVE ‘Gut punch follows gut punch, all masterfully tied up in an ending I won’t forget for a long time to come. Another absolute triumph’ NAOMI WILLIAMS ‘A beautifully written and unusual combination of a compelling police procedural and a heart-wrenching family tragedy with a totally unexpected ending.’ AJAY CHOWDHURY ‘G. D. Wright is one of the most astonishing writers of our time. Once again, in Against the Tide, he has plunged incredible characters into impossible situations, then after a whirlpool of twists and turns, he upends reader expectations so you start to doubt yourself. I defy anyone to guess the ending, let alone what Gaz has in store for us next.’ GRAHAM BARTLETT ‘G.D. Wright does it all. Emotional tension, pulse-pounding and gritty suspense that feels all too real. Against The Tide is a masterclass in crime writing and G.D. Wright simply gets better and better.’ NADINE MATHESON

Ashen Throne - Hamvadó trón - Dragonbound 2.
Egy sárkány nem áldoz fel semmit, főként nem a szabadságát.
Cassim áruló. És semmilyen bűnténytől nem riad vissza, hogy felszabadítsa magát és a többi sárkány alakváltót Eldeya királyának kegyetlen uralma alól. Lovasa, Yessa is csak egy eszköz volt számára. De az egykori ellenségből mára sokkal több lett, és a Yessa iránt érzett szerelme most mindent elvehet Cassimtól. Ha vele marad, az életét kockáztatja. Ha elhagyja, az istenek akaratával száll szembe. És ha Yessa megtudja, mit tett, örökre gyűlölni fogja…

Árulás.
Ő volt az éjszakában rám váró álnokság, a váratlan igazság. Egész életemben átvertek. Most végre megtudtam az igazat. A bábja voltam, csak nem vettem észre a zsinórjaimat.
Hiába tudom, hogy elárult, nem tudok megszabadulni a köztünk lévő, tagadhatatlan köteléktől. Gray egyetlen pillantásával képes lángra lobbantani a lelkemet. Ellenségek vagyunk, és nemsokára összecsapunk azért a jövőért, amit nemrég még el akartam pusztítani.
A magiszter halála után már nem vágyom annyira a bosszút. A megmaradt boszorkányok nem játszottak szerepet a nagynéném halálában, és az egyetlen, aki a sérelmek gyógyításának útjában áll, éppen az, aki elszántan az ágyában akar tartani.
De a Koven életben maradt tagjai sosem fogják megbocsátani, hogy részt vettem vezetőik leigázásában és elpusztításában. Az egészben az a legrosszabb, hogy ezért nem is tudom hibáztatni őket. Naiv voltam. Mindent oly nagyszerűen elképzeltem, de a sorsnak más tervei voltak. Olyanok, amik már századokkal a születésem előtt mozgásba lendültek.
Ám még ez is hazugság volt, és most az én kötelességem, hogy minden erőmet latba vetve megpróbáljam megállítani.
Hogy megvédjem a Kovenemet a férjem gyűlöletétől – bármi áron.

The Scottish Boy
1333. Edward III is at war with Scotland. Nineteen-year-old Sir Harry de Lyon yearns to prove himself, and when powerful English baron, William Montagu, invites him on a secret mission with a dozen elite knights, he jumps at the chance. They ride north, to a crumbling Scottish keep, capturing the feral, half-starved boy within and putting the other inhabitants to the sword. But nobody knows why the flower of English knighthood snuck over the border to capture a savage, dirty teenage boy. Montagu gives the boy to Harry as his squire, with only two rules: don't let him escape, and convert him to the English cause. At first, it's hopeless. The Scottish boy is surly and violent, and eats anything that isn't nailed down. Then Harry begins to notice things: that, as well as Gaelic, the boy speaks flawless French, with an accent much different from Harry's Norman one. That he can read Latin too. And when Harry finally convinces the boy - Iain mac Mail Coluim - to cut his filthy curtain of hair, the face revealed is the most beautiful thing Harry has ever seen. With Iain as his squire, Harry wins tournament after tournament and becomes a favourite of the King. But underneath the pageantry smoulder twin secrets: Harry and Iain's growing passion for each other, and Iain's mysterious heritage. As England hurtles towards war once again, these secrets will destroy everything Harry holds dear.

Returns and Exchanges
Following her ‘dazzling’ (The Guardian) debut, The Animators, Kayla Rae Whitaker tells the sweeping story of one Southern family’s rise and fall throughout the 1980s, a tragicomic tour de force about love and marriage, parents and children, and the promise and limitations of the American Dream. Baker-Taylor’s is a family business. Fran (née Baker) and Fred Taylor run a successful chain of discount retail stores in Kentucky and they’re cautiously expanding: Ataris and Hot Wheels, new branches and new management. With four healthy children and financial stability their own parents could have only dreamed of, Fred and Fran are the American dream: rags to riches, a family dynasty built on years of hard work and long hours. Underneath the surface, however, the business is changing at a breakneck pace, and each family member is struggling to keep up. Money is transforming Fred, and the extremes to which he will go to fit in with the high society crowd are embarrassing, if not downright dangerous. Oldest son Josiah wants nothing to do with the family business, Sam is seeing things that might not really be there, and Benny and Birdie are growing up with a fraction of the parenting that their older brothers did. Meanwhile, Fran, her family’s stable core, is falling for Wendy, a cashier at Baker- Taylor’s, risking everything along the way. While trying to maintain the facade of a perfect success story, Fred and Fran discover that in matters of love and money, once it’s gone, it’s gone — no returns, no exchanges.
