Manon Viljoen is ‘n jong advokaat en ywerige motorfietsryer. Sy word ingeroep om as amicus curiae die regter by te staan in ‘n moordsaak om ‘n regverdige uitspraak te lewer. Die beskuldigde is Charles Mouton, ‘n suksesvolle senior advokaat wat een oggend wakker word langs die bebloede lyk van sy vrou en van haar moord aangekla word. Hy weet nie wat gebeur het nie. Of so beweer hy. Hy weier om aan die verhoor deel te neem omdat hy glo die hof moet die waarheid soek. Dit val dus op Manon se skouers om die waarheid te soek en voor die hof te lê. Manon se aanstelling word bemoeilik deur die feit dat sy en regter Nantes Castel ‘n geskiedenis het. Die verhoor loop allerande draaie terwyl Manon na redelike twyfel soek en terselfdertyd haar gevoelens vir Nantes bevraagteken. Stel hy nog belang, of terg hy haar sommer net?

Vind Manon die waarheid waarna sy soek ‒ oor die identiteit van die moordenaar en ook oor Nantes se gevoelens vir haar? Of is daar redelike twyfel?

From New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune, In the Lives of Puppets is a queer retelling of the Pinocchio tale, inviting you deep into the heart of a peculiar forest and on the extraordinary journey of a family assembled from spare parts. In a strange little home built into the branches of a grove of trees live three robots – fatherly inventor android Giovanni Lawson, a pleasantly sadistic nurse machine, and a small vacuum desperate for love and attention. Victor Lawson, a human, lives there too. They’re a family, hidden and safe. The day Vic salvages and repairs an unfamiliar android labelled ‘HAP’, he learns of a shared dark past between Hap and Gio – a past spent hunting humans. When Hap unwittingly alerts robots from Gio’s former life to their whereabouts, the family is no longer hidden and safe. Gio is captured and taken back to his old laboratory in the City of Electric Dreams. So together, the rest of Vic’s assembled family must journey across an unforgiving and otherworldly country to rescue Gio from decommission, or worse, reprogramming. Along the way to save Gio, amid conflicted feelings of betrayal and affection for Hap, Vic must decide for himself: can he accept love with strings attached? Inspired by Carlo Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchio, In the Lives of Puppets is a masterful standalone fantasy adventure from the author who brought you The House in the Cerulean Sea and Under the Whispering Door.

Vox meets The Handmaid’s Tale in this feminist reimagining of 1984.

In Oceania, whoever you are, Big Brother is always watching you and trust is a luxury that no one has. Julia is the seemingly perfect example of what women in Oceania should be: dutiful, useful, subservient, meek. But Julia hides a secret. A secret that would lead to her death if it is discovered. For Julia is part of the underground movement called The Sisterhood, whose main goal is to find members of The Brotherhood, the anti-Party vigilante group, and help them to overthrow Big Brother. Only then can everyone be truly free.

When Julia thinks she’s found a potential member of The Brotherhood, it seems like their goal might finally be in their grasp. But as she gets closer to Winston Smith, Julia’s past starts to catch up with her and we soon realise that she has many more secrets than we’d first imagined – and that overthrowing Big Brother might cost her everything – but if you have nothing left to lose then you don’t mind playing the game . . .

This is a story about love, about family, about being a woman, a mother, a sister, a friend and ultimately about what you would sacrifice for the greater good.

Toe Mata Hari in Parys aangekom het, was sy platsak. Kort daarna is sy gevier as die elegantste vrou in die stad. As ’n danseres het sy gehore geskok en verruk, as ’n vertroueling en courtisane het sy die rykste en magtigste mans van haar era betower. Maar paranoia as gevolg van die oorlog het Frankryk verteer, en Mata Hari se leefstyl het haar onder verdenking geplaas. In 1917 is sy gearresteer in haar hotelkamer aan die Champs-Elysees en van spioenasie aangekla. Die Spioen is die onvergeetlike verhaal van ’n vrou wat dit gewaag het om die konvensies van haar tyd uit te daag en die prys daarvoor betaal het, soos vertel in Mata Hari se stem in haar finale brief.

Private Investigator and WWII veteran, Aloysius Archer, returns to solve a new case in Hollywood in Dream Town, a riveting thriller from international number 1 bestselling author, David Baldacci. All that glitters . . . 1952, Los Angeles. It is New Year's Eve and PI Aloysius Archer is dining with his friend and rising Hollywood actress Liberty Callahan when they're approached by Eleanor Lamb, a screenwriter who would like to hire him, as she suspects someone is trying to kill her. Murder and mystery A visit to Lamb's Malibu residence leaves Archer knocked unconscious after he stumbles over a dead body in the hallway; and Lamb seems to have vanished. With the police now involved in the case, a close friend and colleague of Lamb's employs Archer to find out what's happened to the screenwriter. The City of Angels - or somewhere much, much darker? Archer's investigation takes him from the rich, glamorous and glitzy LA to the seedy, dark side of the city, and onward to the gambling mecca of Las Vegas, just now hitting its stride as a hot spot for celebrities and a money-making machine for the mob. In a place where cops and crooks work hand in hand, Archer will cross paths with Hollywood stars, politicians and notorious criminals. He'll almost die several times, and he'll discover bodies and secrets from the canyons and beaches of Malibu and the luxurious mansions of Bel Air and Beverly Hills to the narcotics clubs of Chinatown. With the help of Liberty and his PI partner Willie Dash, Archer will risk everything and leave no stone unturned in finding the missing Eleanor Lamb, and in bringing to justice killers who would love nothing better than to plant Archer six feet under.

Karl Kielblock was ongetwyfeld een van die beste speurverhaalskrywers in ons land. Met hierdie boek bewys hy dit weer eens. Mooier as die blomme is deel van die Frans Lindenhof-speurreeks en dis ‘n verhaal met baie spanning en onverwagte wendinge en ook heelwat afwisseling wat daarvoor sorg dat dit end-uit genietbaar bly. Namakwaland se kleurkaleidoskoop lok elke jaar duisende besoekers van oraloor. Daar is egter iets nog mooier en waardevoller as veldblomme wat in die Namakwaland verskuil is, besef Joachim Verbeek wanneer ‘n skilderekspedisie plotseling in 'n nagmerrie ontaard. Wanneer Verbeek se paadjie onwetend met die van uitgeslape diamantdiewe kruis, verander dit wat as ‘n rustige wegbreek beplan is in 'n jaagtog vol blink klippies, verleidelike vroue – en lewensgevaar. Niks ontglip egter die onverskrokke speurder-sersant Frans Lindenhof se waaksame oe en fyn ore nie, en hy onderneem om die misdadigers vas te keer.

But he's not an obvious target for assassination in the here and now. On Dickie's phone Lamb finds the last message he ever left, which hints that an old-time Moscow-style op is being run in the Intelligence Service's back-yard.

"This propulsive and furious book is as fun to read as it is relentless and unsparing. Deranged and faltering America, Jonathan Dee has your number." --Joshua Ferris, author of The Dinner Party In Jonathan Dee's elegant and explosive new novel, Sugar Street, an unnamed male narrator has hit the road. Rid of any possible identifiers, his possessions amount to $168,548 in cash stashed in an envelope under his car seat. Vigilantly avoiding security cameras, he drives until he hits a city where his past is unlikely to track him down, and finds a room to rent from a less-than-stable landlady whose need for money outweighs her desire to ask questions. He seems to have escaped his former self. But can he? In a story that moves with swift dark humor and insight, Dee takes us through his narrator's attempt to disavow his former life of privilege and enter a blameless new existence. Having opted out of his material possessions and human connections, the pillars of his new self - simplicity, kindness, above all invisibility - grow shakier as he butts up against the daily lives of his neighbors in their politically divided working-class city. With the suspense of a crime thriller and the grace of our best literary fiction, Dee unspools the details of our unlikely hero's former life and his developing new one in a drumbeat roll up to a shocking final act. Dee has been compared by the Wall Street Journal to authors such as Jonathan Franzen and Jennifer Egan for his expansive, contemporary, social novels; Sugar Street is a leaner, more personal, but still uncannily timely look at the volatile America of today. A risky, engrossing and surprisingly visceral story about a white man trying to escape his own troubling footprint and start his life over.
