The son of a sea god has never looked so good!

The New York Times bestselling author of The Diamond Eye and The Rose Code returns with a haunting and powerful story of female friendships and secrets in a Washington, DC, boardinghouse during the McCarthy era.

Washington, DC, 1950. Everyone keeps to themselves at Briarwood House, a down-at-the-heels all-female boardinghouse in the heart of the nation’s capital where secrets hide behind white picket fences. But when the lovely, mysterious widow Grace March moves into the attic room, she draws her oddball collection of neighbors into unlikely friendship: poised English beauty Fliss, whose facade of perfect wife and mother covers gaping inner wounds; policeman’s daughter Nora, who finds herself entangled with a shadowy gangster; frustrated baseball star Beatrice, whose career has come to an end along with the women’s baseball league of WWII; and poisonous, gung-ho Arlene, who has thrown herself into McCarthy’s Red Scare.

Grace’s weekly attic-room dinner parties and window-brewed sun tea become a healing balm on all their lives, but she hides a terrible secret of her own. When a shocking act of violence tears the house apart, the Briar Club women must decide once and for all: who is the true enemy in their midst?

Capturing the paranoia of the McCarthy era and evoking the changing roles for women in postwar America, The Briar Club is an intimate and thrilling novel of secrets and loyalty put to the test.

In MI5 a scandal is brewing and there are bad actors everywhere.

A key member of a Downing Street think-tank has disappeared without a trace.

Claude Whelan, one-time First Desk of MI5's Regent's Park, is tasked with tracking her down. But the trail leads straight back to Regent's Park HQ itself, with its chief, Diana Taverner, as prime suspect. Meanwhile her Russian counterpart has unexpectedly shown up in London but has slipped under MI5's radar.

Over at Slough House, the home for demoted and embittered spies, the slow horses are doing what they do best: adding a little bit of chaos to an already unstable situation.

In a world where lying, cheating and backstabbing is the norm, bad actors are bending the rules for their own gain. If the slow horses want to change the script, they'll need to get their own act together before the final curtain.

Morlun, a vampiric, nigh-unstoppable force of evil, and his deadly family are hunting Spider-Heroes throughout the Multiverse! It will take EVERY SPIDER-MAN EVER to save the day! Collecting: Amazing Spider-Man (2014) #9-15

The Real Meal Revolution was all about taking on the global obesity epidemic with a revolutionary approach to eating; it challenged ingrained beliefs, it sold (and still sells) in record-breaking numbers throughout South Africa, and it changed people’s lives.

With Raising Superheroes, the authors have now set out to revolutionise the way we feed our children. It’s time, they believe, to challenge the kids’ food industry and our old assumptions; it’s time to give our children the best nutrition possible, and the best start in life.

Raising Superheroes is not a Banting cookbook, and it doesn’t offer no-carb eating for kids. But – in advocating low-sugar, low-refined-carb, “real” food eating – it is the Real Meal Revolution’s next step towards changing the world.

A fascinating inside account of the attempt to prosecute former US president Donald Trump.

Mark Pomerantz was a retired lawyer living a calm suburban life when he accepted an offer to join the staff of the district attorney of New York County in February 2021. His brief: to work on the investigation of former president Donald Trump and the Trump Organisation.

Over the next year, Pomerantz interviewed potential witnesses, scrutinised financial records and learned everything he could about Trump's business practices. He finally gathered enough evidence to support the view-held by many of his colleagues on the case-that Trump should be indicted for a number of financial crimes. But that indictment never happened. This book explains why.

In People vs. Donald Trump, Pomerantz tells the story of his unprecedented investigation, why he and his colleague Carey Dunne resigned in protest when Manhattan's district attorney refused to act, and why he believes Donald Trump should be prosecuted. He draws from a lifetime of legal experience to tell a devastating and frequently entertaining story of how prosecutors think, how criminals act, and how the American justice system works-and sometimes doesn't work. It is a cautionary tale that explores how Trump manages to dance between the raindrops of accountability, and how others might bring him to justice.

‘Beautifully written, sumptuously illustrated, constantly fascinating‘ The Times On 26 November 1922 Howard Carter first peered into the newly opened tomb of an ancient Egyptian boy-king. When asked if he could see anything, he replied: ‘Yes, yes, wonderful things.’ In Tutankhamun’s Trumpet, acclaimed Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson takes a unique approach to that tomb and its contents. Instead of concentrating on the oft-told story of the discovery, or speculating on the brief life and politically fractious reign of the boy king, Wilkinson takes the objects buried with him as the source material for a wide-ranging, detailed portrait of ancient Egypt – its geography, history, culture and legacy. One hundred artefacts from the tomb, arranged in ten thematic groups, are allowed to speak again – not only for themselves, but as witnesses of the civilization that created them. Never before have the treasures of Tutankhamun been analysed and presented for what they can tell us about ancient Egyptian culture, its development, its remarkable flourishing, and its lasting impact. Filled with surprising insights, unusual details, vivid descriptions and, above all, remarkable objects, Tutankhamun’s Trumpet will appeal to all lovers of history, archaeology, art and culture, as well as all those fascinated by the Egypt of the pharaohs. ‘I’ve read many books on ancient Egypt, but I’ve never felt closer to its people‘ The Sunday Times

In his page-turning and inspiring first book, legendary songwriter and recording artist Jason Derulo shares his 15 rules for finding success in any pursuit, and invites everyone—especially artists and creators—to start on their path to greatness.

In 2009, an 18-year-old son of Haitian immigrants burst onto music charts with the instant number one song “Whatcha Say,” which opened with one of the catchiest lines in pop music history—the artist’s own name, sung out loud. (You’re probably singing it in your head right now! Sorry if it gets stuck there, but that’s kind of the point!) In the years since, Jason Derulo has cemented himself again and again, hit after hit, as one of the most consistent and versatile artists alive and a risk-taking force of nature.

Sing Your Name Out Loud is the remarkable story of Derulo’s come up, told through the fifteen rules he lives by—like working hardest at what comes easiest, taking calculated risks, sticking to a routine, and respecting the numbers—which he credits with turning his many crazy, far-fetched goals over the years into reality.

Waking at four a.m. to catch buses across Miami so he could attend performing arts schools on a scholarship, entering himself in local singing competitions at the mall on weekends, and penning hundreds of songs before he ever saw the inside of a recording studio—Derulo’s commitment to his dream, and dedication to seeing it come true, is the stuff of legend. But it was in 2020, after be coming one of the most followed creators on TikTok, that he realized his personal rules for achievement are applicable anywhere, for anyone, under any circumstance. “Now,” he writes, “it’s your turn.”

Vir langer as wat kroonprins Florin oud is, is die twee koninkryke Monfiel en Vinland in ’n wrede oorlog verwikkel. Tot daar op ’n dag ’n bode die goeie tyding bring dat die twee konings vrede gesluit het. Florin word na die vredesfees in Vinland genooi, maar daar aangekom, wag die grootste skok op die jong prins: Die sogenaamde vredesverdrag was ’n lokval. Sy pa, koning Philip, en sy gevolg is gevange geneem en Florin verloor in ’n oogwink alles wat hy het: sy pa, sy titel, sy koninkryk en sy eer. Koning Theodo laat hom leef, maar verdoem hom om opgelei te word as hofnar deur Mimus – Theodo se onvoorspelbare, enigmatiese en met tye gemene hofnar. Saam met Mimus moet Florin dag na dag leer hoe om die laagste skepsel aan die hof te wees en sy kop te behou deur die koning te laat lag. Maar daar is meer aan Mimus as donkieore, ’n narmasker en lawwe toertjies, wat Florin laat wonder of Mimus dalk sy vertroueling en vriend kan wees … of ’n pop wat slegs na Theodo se pype dans? Mimus is ’n verhaal van konings en narre, mag en vernedering, humor en hartseer, en in die middel ’n enkele hofnar wat terselfdertyd lig en donker verteenwoordig. Dit is ’n intrige wat oud en jonk sal meesleur na die Middeleeue en tot op die laaste bladsy sal boei.
