Beneath the sun-soaked boulevards and rolling hills lurks a sprawling network of organised crime.

At its core is Franco Tondino, ruthless crime boss known as ‘The Director’, whose influence snakes through every level of authority, from local police to high-ranking officials.

Monaghan
'Beautiful and complex' — Annie Proulx'A writer of exceptional gifts' — Louise Kennedy'O'Grady strikes a beautiful note' — Kevin BarryMoving from West Belfast and County Monaghan to the streets of San Francisco, Timothy O’Grady’s exhilarating new novel is an epic portrait of art and war, authenticity and selling out, told through the fates of three men. Ronan Treanor, Monaghan native and teller of this tale, is a celebrated theorist of postmodern architecture in New York. Paul Crane, single son of a hotel maid in Indiana, turns his mathematical gift into a multimillion-dollar career as an investment banker. And the mysterious Ryan, who drew as a boy in besieged West Belfast, but was swept up in the war against the British and lived a decade of extreme and escalating violence as a sniper. Through him, the war in Ireland and its psychic legacy are brought into close focus in a way rarely seen in contemporary fiction. Their lives merge and conflict, rise and fall, as one man becomes the undoing of the next. Hauntingly beautiful, lyrical and profound, this is a novel about what happens when you cannot escape your past, featuring drawings and paintings by Anthony Lott. 'O’Grady evokes place, the latent violence of Ireland in the 1980s and its psychic displacements. The prose is mesmerising' — Una Mannion, author of Tell Me What I Am'Monaghan reveals the legacy of violence and political division in a gripping narrative and a precise and original voice' — Erica Wagner, literary critic'Monaghan is written with an intensity that is remarkable in contemporary fiction . . . Timothy O’Grady is a major writer of our time' — Patrick Joyce, author of Going to My Father’s House

Inside
Winner of the International Book Award at the 2026 Charles Tyrwhitt Sports Book Awards 'One of the most incredible and moving books that we've read, ever.' The High Performance Podcast Sitting in the prison classroom each morning, reading the pages in my book, listening to the teacher, I could feel myself slowing down. I had achieved greatness. I had won three Wimbledon titles, two Aussie Opens, the US Open, two Davis Cups, an Olympic gold medal. But where was I now? Either I was some strange exception, a great man surrounded by lesser men, or I was not an exception at all. I fitted right in. And if I did, why was that? Wimbledon champion at 17, six-time Grand Slam winner and former world number one – Boris Becker achieved unparalleled success, fame and wealth throughout his tennis career. But in April 2022, everything changed when he was sentenced to 30 months in prison over bankruptcy charges. Inside offers a raw and unflinching account of Becker’s life behind bars, detailing the brutal realities of surviving two of the UK’s toughest prisons and the unexpected lessons in resilience that kept him going. Stripped of fame and fortune, Becker faced an entirely new world as inmate A2923EV, where nothing came easy. More than a story of survival, Inside is about profound transformation. With brutal honesty, Becker reflects on the choices that led him to prison, confronting his mistakes and the price of fame. Through new relationships, hard-learned survival skills and the philosophy of Stoicism, he embarks on the difficult journey of rebuilding his life and shattered reputation. This is the story of a legend who lost it all – how he survived, started again and found light in life’s darkest moments. 'It's a memoir, it's a thriller, it's a confessional, it's therapy. This book is unbelievable, [and] beautifully written. It couldn't be a crazier story…it's so gripping, I could not put it down.' Chris Evans

A Bright Cold Day
A pioneering biography of George Orwell told through moments of everyday life
When we think about Orwell, we imagine an angular, moustachioed sceptic crouched over a typewriter, who - between puffs on his cigarette - composes effortless streams of prose, unadorned but explosive. We see a man with 'Important Things to Say' about: the slow creep of authoritarianism; the consequences of all-seeing tech; the fragility of truth.
Much less often do we see him as a person caught up in the business of everyday life. And yet Orwell's work thrums with the quotidian: the smell of boiled cabbage, the chill of an unheated flat in early spring, the rumbling of old pipes.
A Bright Cold Day reveals how the principles that govern us begin in the mundane. From waking and showering to breakfast, work, lunch, the pub, sleep and dreaming, Orwell was never dulled to the routines of living. And in the details of the day, we can understand how power, money, freedom and choice play out, not just for Orwell's literary characters, but for us all.

Are White Men Smarter Than Everybody Else?
*USA TODAY BESTSELLER* From the bestselling author of Brown Is the New White, an explosive new argument for draining the swamp of white male privilege“Steve Phillips situates our present crisis exactly where it belongs—within the long, unfinished struggle to make real the promise that all are created equal. . . . He reminds us that backlash is not new, but neither is resistance.” —Anna Malaika Tubbs, New York Times bestselling author of Erased and The Three MothersIn a time when equal rights are facing an unparalleled assault, what if we’ve been framing the conversation about racial justice all wrong? Instead of focusing on the underrepresentation of people of color, what if we examined the overrepresentation of white me? uilding on the urgency and clarity of his New York Times and Washington Post bestseller Brown Is the New White and his “spirited and persuasive” (Publishers Weekly) How We Win the Civil War, these questions drive the explosive premise of author Steve Phillips’s latest book, Are White Men Smarter Than Everybody Els? ust six years after the racial reckoning that followed the murder of George Floyd, we are witnessing a full-scale assault on equality in America unparalleled since the overthrow of Reconstruction. With the critical 2026 midterms approaching and DEI initiatives under attack nationwide, Phillips’s work is more relevant than ever. He moves beyond defensive measures to offer a powerful offensive strategy. The book introduces the concept of “Straight White American Male Preference” (S.W.A.M.P.) and systematically dismantles the myth of reverse racism. Through twelve sharp, deeply researched chapters, Phillips reveals how this preference has shaped everything from corporate America and philanthropy to arts and government, creating systemic advantages for white men, who make up a minority (29 percent) of the U.S. population. This isn’t just another book about inequality; it’s a playbook for a counterattack. Fearless and timely, this much-needed corrective offers equality-loving readers the arguments, data, and inspiration they need to challenge the status quo effectively.
