Truly Madly Guilty
The electrifying new novel from the international bestselling author, Liane Moriarty Despite their differences, Erika and Clementine have been best friends since they were children. So when Erika needs help, Clementine should be the obvious person to turn to. Or so you'd think. For Clementine, as a mother of a two desperately trying to practise for the audition of a lifetime, the last thing she needs is Erika asking for something, again.

The Ghost Warriors Inside Israel's Undercover War Against Suicide Terrorism
In late 2000, Israel faced a new uprising: the al-Aqsa Intifada. The terrorists' strategy was to slip into the everyday lives of Israeli citizens and unleash attacks. But Israel had its own operatives blending in among the enemy: the Ya'mas. This is the story of the Druze, Bedouins, Christians and Jews who infiltrated the chop shops and drug dens of the territories; those whose knowledge of Arabic language and customs secured intelligence. Against a backdrop of high-level peace talks and the smoke of burning tires, it is a tale of daring and deception in the Middle East.

Road to Ruin
The bestselling author of The Death of Money on how investors can prepare for the next financial panic - and why it's coming sooner than you think.
The global economy has made what seems like an incredible comeback after the financial crisis of 2008. Yet this comeback is artificial. Central banks have propped up markets by keeping interest rates low and the supply of money free-flowing. They won't bail us out again next time. And there will be a next time - soon.
In The Road to Ruin, bestselling author James Rickards identifies how governments around the world are secretly preparing an alternative strategy for the next big crisis: a lockdown. Instead of printing money to reliquify markets and prop up assets, governments are preparing to close banks, shut down exchanges and order powerful asset managers not to sell. They're putting provisions in place that will allow them to do so legally. What's more, the global elite has already started making their own preparations, including hoarding cash and hard assets.
When the next one comes, it will be the average investor who suffers most - unless he or she heeds Rickards' warning and prepares accordingly.
James Rickards is the bestselling author of Currency Wars and The Death of Money. He is a portfolio manager at West Shore Group and an adviser on international economics and financial threats to the Department of Defence and the US intelligence community. He served as facilitator of the first-ever financial war games conducted by the Pentagon.
