Anna O – the world will know her name.

Anna o hasn’t opened her eyes for four years. Not since the night she was found in a deep sleep by the bodies of her best friends, suspected of a chilling double murder.

For Doctor Benedict Prince, a forensic psychologist on London’s Harley Street, waking Anna O could be career-defining. As an expert in sleep, he knows all about the darkest chambers of the mind; the secrets that lie buried in the subconscious.

As he begins Anna O’s treatment – studying his patient’s dreams, combing her memories, visiting the site where the horrors played out – he pulls on the thread of a much deeper, darker mystery.

Awakening Anna O isn’t the end of the story, it’s just the beginning.

In Sondes van die vaders is Danny Hector en haar ondersoekspan weer warm op die spoor van ’n nuwe moordverdagte.

Die weeskind Hansie Roodt, wat in die 1980’s as tienerseun galgdiens moes doen, het begin om die nasate van diegene wat hom destyds te na gekom het, vir húl sondes te laat boet. Hansie, nou bekend as Gabriël, is ’n reeksmoordenaar met ’n slinkse modus operandi wat aanhou uitdaag en verras, en kreatiewe maniere moet gevind word om hom te vang.

Nes sy voorganger beloof Sondes van die vaders om ook ’n groot gunsteling by lesers te wees – ’n viering van ’n skrywer wat ’n sonderlinge aanvoeling vir karakters, dialoog en bowenal vir stórie gehad het.

Die veelsydige en veelbekroonde François Bloemhof is verantwoordelik vir die afronding van Lerina se manuskrip.

After a hectic morning involving two rather irritating cases of mistaken identity, Inspector Montalbano finally arrives in his office ready find out what's troubling Vigàta this week. What he discovers is unnerving. A woman on her way home from work has been held up at gunpoint, chloroformed and kidnapped, but then released just hours later – unharmed and with all her possessions – into the open countryside.

Later that day, Montalbano hears from Enzo, the owner of his favourite restaurant, that his niece has recently been the victim of the exact same crime. Before long, a third instance of this baffling overnight kidnapping has been reported.

As far as Montalbano can tell, there is no link between the attacker and the victims. So what exactly is this mystery assailant gaining from these fleeting kidnappings? And what can he do to stop them? Montalbano must use all his logic and intuition if he is to answer these pressing questions before the kidnapper finds his next victim . . .

A sinister case of deadly poisoned chocolates from Sodbury Cross's high street shop haunts the group of friends and relatives assembled at Bellegarde, among the orchards of 'peach-fancier' Marcus Chesney. To prove a point about how the sweets could have been poisoned under the nose of the shopkeeper, Chesney stages an elaborate memory game to test whether any of his guests can see beyond their 'black spectacles'; that is, to see the truth without assumptions as witnesses. During the test - which is also being filmed - Chesney is murdered by his accomplice, dressed head to toe in an 'invisible man' disguise. The keen wits of Dr Gideon Fell are called for to crack this brazen and bizarre murder committed in full view of an audience. Also known by its US title The Problem of the Green Capsule, this classic novel is widely regarded as one of John Dickson Carr's masterpieces and remains among the greatest impossible crime mysteries of all time.
