Former journalist Matt Grimshaw's life is at a low ebb. He's been 'let go' by the paper where he's worked for years, and his relationship with his long-term girlfriend has come unstuck.

So when an invitation arrives from his two closest friends, Celia and Adam Murphy, to join them at their house in Greece, he jumps at it. It may be harsh and unwelcoming on the Mani Peninsula but Matt determines to stay there for the whole summer and to write his much put-off screen-play.

But then the Murphys plus children arrive, and a wealthy newcomer to the area starts throwing loud and lavish parties in his big house across the bay.

As the nights become hotter and the parties wilder, everyone's motivations darken. Envy rises, resentments grow - until a terrible accident stops the summer in its tracks.

At least, it looks like an accident…

Set over one blazing Mediterranean summer, Sabine Durrant’s new thriller is tense, claustrophobic and utterly gripping.

From the two-time Emmy Award–winning producer and host of the Black and Published podcast comes a sweeping multi-generational epic following seven generations of Dupree women as they navigate love, loss, and the unyielding ties of family.

Fourteen-year-old Tati is determined to uncover the identity of her father. But her mother, Nadia, keeps her secrets close, while her grandmother, Gladys, remains silent about the family’s past.

As Tati digs deeper, she uncovers the truth of her lineage, still whispered at kitchen tables and murmured in basements, where the ritual of braiding or pressing hair takes place every Saturday night.

From Jubi in 1917, whose attempt to pass for white ends when she gives birth to Ruby; to Ruby’s fiery lust for Sampson in 1934 that leads to a baby of her own; to the night in 1980 that changed Nadia’s future for ever, the Dupree women confront a legacy of pain, resilience and survival that began with an enslaved ancestor who risked everything for freedom.

A raucous, tantalising literary thriller set between Mumbai and New York City, for fans of THE WHITE TIGER and HOW TO KIDNAP THE RICH.

Good-natured but naïve, Mumbai party boy Ali Azeem is drifting through life. Then he meets the Khan sisters: pretty, marriage-material Maryam and sexy, unpredictable, off-the-rails Farhan. They are the daughters of Abbas Khan, the formidable immigrant patriarch of a glittering property empire, who has succeeded in making New York City his playground.

Ali finds himself drawn deeper and deeper into the Khan family’s seductive world of private jets and towering skyscrapers. He begins to uncover rumours of affairs, accusations of corruption – and a troubling connection to the serial killer who once stalked the streets of Manhattan. As he closes in on the truth and learns the cost of the Khans' unattainable wealth and power, Ali must decide: is it a price worth paying?

A caper, social satire, and propulsive thriller rolled into one, A Killer in the Family is a wild ride through the streets of Mumbai and New York City. Told in an electric, unforgettable voice, it probes the dark underbelly of the American Dream – leading its reader through a dizzying maze of lies, corruption and murder.

I was bleeding out and halfway to Hell when God sent me an angel.

He had no business sending her to a man like me. She was sunshine wrapped in pink glitter - soft where I was jagged, and gentle enough to hurt. Under the sick glow of a streetlamp, I was delirious enough to tell her she was beautiful. And when she smiled and asked me to say it again, I almost believed I could be saved.

But then she asked me something else. Something that stole the air from my lungs.

“Can you keep a secret?”

Turns out, even angels have sins. And this one should’ve left me to die before my world destroyed us both….

Because the second her muddy boots stomped down the stairs of the club, my empire began to crack.

My cashmere charm is fraying. My gentleman’s mask is slipping. My enemies can smell the weakness. Penny Price thinks she’s dragging me to hell. But she doesn’t realise - hell’s exactly where I belong.

After all, it’s wonderfully warm among the flames…

My name is Rory Carter, and I do bad things. I might smile like an angel, but underneath, my soul is far from clean. Not even my weekly calls to the Sinners Anonymous hotline can change that.

Marrying the seventy-year-old head of the Cosa Nostra to save my father was the closest I’ve come to doing good. And I was surviving - one lie, one smile, one silk dress at a time - until his nephew showed up uninvited.

Angelo “Vicious” Visconti. A beautiful monster with a sharper tongue than conscience. They say he went straight years ago, but I don’t believe it.

Because Angelo is danger wrapped in desire - and when he looks at me, I can’t tell if he wants to ruin me or save me.

“I wanted to go back to Mid-World, which was always the Territories by another name.” —Stephen King

This is Stephen King and Peter Straub’s epic and unforgettable finale to the Talisman Trilogy (including the novels Talisman and Black House) and a wrapping up of the fate of the worlds in King's iconic, fiercely beloved Dark Tower epic. It is also a magnificent stand-alone novel, that will appeal to new readers, as well as to King’s Constant Readers.

Other Worlds Than These is the story of Jack Sawyer, whom readers first met when he was twelve, crossing America and “the territories” to save his mother’s life, and met again in Black House, where Jack faces a child killer and the Crimson King (among other evils). In Other Worlds Than These, Jack must stop a rampaging gang of infected teenagers from America-side, and the forces of the mysterious Gullet at the edge of Mid-World, before it destroys our world and all worlds. Jack is older now; his Ka-tet (echoing the world of Roland) is fraying; and his task, nearly impossible.

Magnificent, riveting, full of heart, and humor, Other Worlds Than These is a spectacular, propulsive adventure, and features thirty-six exclusive black-and-white illustrations by artist Gabriel Rodriguez. The title instantly announces to readers who already know these other worlds that King has returned to them. Other Worlds Than These will appeal to new King readers and his constant readers.

Hell is empty and all the devils are here…

Alex Stern made it to hell and back more than once, but this time she left the door open behind her.

Alex and her allies can hunt them, but it’s only a matter of time before the gates to the underworld open and they face a war they cannot win. To stop it, they’ll have to reach deep into the secrets of Yale and its societies, and discover the truth hidden in Alex’s own blood.

But for the first time in her life, she won’t have to face the fight alone.
