The Killing Stones
For the first time since the beloved Shetland series, Detective Jimmy Perez is back. He's traded the stark beauty of Shetland for the wild isolation of Orkney, but the darkness of human nature follows him everywhere.
When a ferocious storm rages across the islands, it leaves behind more than just damage: it uncovers the body of Archie Stout, a popular, larger-than-life member of the community.
The murder weapon? A Neolithic stone, bearing cryptic, ancient inscriptions.
Now living in Orkney with his partner, Willow, and their young son, Perez is drawn into a case that is chillingly personal-Archie was a friend from his own childhood. And the island is full of familiar faces, all of whom are potential suspects in the killing.
Perez must immerse himself in the lives of the islanders, separating truth from local legend before a desperate killer can strike again... and threaten the new life he's desperately trying to build.

The Lady Killer
A dizzying tale of lust and murder in the shady world of Tokyo's cabaret bars, from one of Japan's greatest mystery writers-now with a striking new cover design.
"An outstanding puzzle mystery." - Publishers Weekly, starred review
A hunter prowls the night spots of Shinjuku.
But he's the one walking into a trap...
Ichiro Honda leads a double life. By day, he is a devoted husband and a diligent worker, but bynight, he moves through the shadow world of Tokyo's cabaret bars and nightclubs in search of vulnerable women to seduce, and then abandon.
While Ichiro meticulously documents these encounters in his diary, the daily newspaper reports of local murders seem to throw up a disturbing pattern.
A trail of bodies is appearing in his wake, so it seems. First Keiko Obana, a typist, jumps from a second floor window. Then others start to follow: a supermarket cashier strangled in her apartment in Kinshibori. A girl he picked up about two months ago at a dance hall in Koto Rakutenchi, is found murdered in the same gruesome way. The hunter becomes the prey and Ichiro realises he has been caught in a snare.
As the trap closes around him, even Ichiro begins to doubt his innocence. Can he find the real killer before it's too late, and - more importantly - will anyone believe him?
From the beloved Japanese mystery author of The Master Key, this gorgeously redesigned paperback of his cult classic thriller will keep fans old and new guessing until the very end.

Meet Me at the Seaside Cottages
EVERYONE IS SEARCHING FOR THEIR PERFECT HOUSE. BUT HOME IS REALLY WHERE THE HEART IS ...??
Janey Carter has a lot to be grateful for - a home by the sea in Carso that she renovated herself, a job as an audiologist that she loves, two great kids, and a network of kind and supportive friends. But since her husband left, her confidence has taken a nosedive. And then, out of the blue, her grumpy 30-year-old daughter announces she's moving back home. Janey loves Essie dearly but they only just made it out alive from her adolescence. And this really is going to cramp her soon-to-be-rediscovered dating style.
Yes, Essie Carter is grumpy but she's just lost her job, she can't afford her rent in Edinburgh and her boyfriend isn't ready to commit. There's nothing for it but to admit defeat and hope the sea air soothes her soul. Life seems to be punching this millennial squarely in the face.
Living back under the same roof brings its challenges. But a combination of rescue dogs, pub quizzes and a surprise project doing up the unloved Seagate Cottages next door slowly brings mother and daughter closer together. Meanwhile, the steady stream of people coming past the house with fabric swatches and paint brings revelations for Essie, and offers Janey a surprise second chance at love as well.

Miranda In Retrograde - Tévelygő csillagok közöt
Miután Miranda élete fenekestül felfordul, úgy dönt, hogy egy évig kizárólag a horoszkópja alapján hozza meg döntéseit.
Miranda Reed, az egyetem legfiatalabb fizikaprofesszora szereti pontosan megtervezni az életét. Ám amikor elutasítják a kinevezését, és meghiúsul a biztosnak hitt előléptetés, addig kiszámítható élete hirtelen darabjaira hullik.
Miután derékba tört a karrierje, Miranda a csillagok felé fordul – ezúttal azonban nem fekete lyukakat keres. Mivel a tudományba vetett hite megrendült, olyan helyen kezdi keresni a választ, amit korábban teljesen abszurdnak tartott: az asztrológiában.
Elhatározza, hogy egy évig hagyja, hogy a horoszkópja irányítsa az életét. Ezért aztán lakásfelújításba kezd, új háziállatot fogad örökbe, és azt kutatja, mit mondanak a csillagok az ideális párkapcsolatról. A titokzatosan zárkózott művész a szomszédból? Szó sem lehet róla. A Kos energiái teljesen kizárják. Vagy új tanítványának sármos apja? Tökéletes Nyilas. Mintha neki teremtették volna… nem igaz?
Ahogy Miranda új szemszögből kezdi látni az életét, lassan ráébred, hogy sem a tudomány, sem a csillagok nem adnak választ minden kérdésére. És hogy a szerelemben néha jobb, ha egyszerűen csak a szívére hallgat az ember.
Fedezd fel, mit tartogatnak számodra a csillagok!

Egyedül Audrey Rose és Thomas járhat a borzalmas ügy végére, mielőtt végleg elfogynának az utasok. Csakhogy minden nyom arról árulkodik, hogy a következő áldozat mindenkinél közelebb áll Audrey Rose-hoz.

Nothing Left Behind
They thought it was another false alarm. They were wrong… Anne Evans was a 'nuisance caller'. She would repetitively dial 999 in desperate panic, screaming down the phone that 'he' was going to burn her alive… But after years of false alarms, people stopped listening. Now, as the smoke clears, DCI Liz Field can only watch helplessly as Anne’s charred home collapses, her body still trapped inside. The blaze leaves scant evidence behind, but the more Field's team uncover in the rubble, the more disturbing the case becomes. This wasn't merely arson, it was murder, tailored to the victim’s worst nightmare. Everyone thought Anne was just a paranoid recluse. But is it really paranoia, if all that you feared comes true?

This new study contains over 300 photos detailing the history of the vehicle, as well as tables and data covering the weapons and systems used.

Nature's Memory
A 'compelling, arresting' (New Scientist) behind-the-scenes tour through the world's greatest natural history museums, revealing their hidden secrets Zoologist Jack Ashby spends his life working in Britain's natural history museums, and in Nature's Memory he guides us through a series of extraordinary collections, from marvellous mounted whale skeletons and impossibly tiny insect cabinets to buried treasures in vast museum storehouses. But look more closely at these displays: all is not as it seems. While most exhibits succeed in communicating feelings of wonder and awe - a vital function when less people than ever before have access to the outdoors - Ashby argues that the version of nature natural history museums present does not always reflect reality, with specimens revealing more about the biases of curators than they do about the species they represent. Likewise, the ways in which museums have traditionally told the story of their own histories has disproportionately elevated the contributions of certain kinds of people whilst diminishing the work of others, often ignoring their complex colonial heritage altogether. But Ashby contends that these issues are precisely why it's such an exciting time to be a natural historian, for while society shapes museums, so too can museums shape society - for the good. And as we face the existential threat of cataclysmic biodiversity loss, natural history museums will emerge as indispensable resources in the fight against climate catastrophe. Weaving together fresh historical research, entertaining zoological trivia and insider stories from Ashby's distinguished natural history career, Nature's Memory is a charming ode to the joys, eccentricities and planet-saving potential of the world's best-loved museums.
