Henry Dorsett Case is a low-level hustler, former hack and 'console
cowboy' who crashed and burned. His nerves were damaged and thus
cut off from the digital matrix, he slouches through life. Until he
meets Molly, an augmented 'razorgirl', who offers him a deal on
behalf of a shadowy man called Armitage. His nerves repaired and
matrix access restored, in exchange for a single job. But it's not
so simple - unless he completes the job, sacs of poison will
explode inside him and cripple him again. And the job? That might
be impossible. The first novel to win the Hugo, Nebula and Philip
K. Dick Awards, Neuromancer has become a seminal part of SF
history, coining the term 'cyberspace' and lighting a fuse on the
Cyberpunk movement. Part thriller, part warning, it is one of the
20th century's most potent visions of the future. 'A
ground-breaking success' - Empire 'Gibson is better than almost
anybody at noticing what's genuinely interesting about the world' -
Ned Beauman 'Neuromancer is a book of exquisitely observed detail'
- Eileen Gunn Welcome to The Best Of The Masterworks: a selection
of the finest in science fiction
When we bury our secrets, they always come back to haunt us...Their
rise was meteoric. Only a few years before, they had been three
friends from Glasgow, just trying to survive tough lives of danger
and dysfunction. But on one Hollywood evening in 1993, they were on
the world's biggest stage, accepting their Oscar in front of the
watching world. That night was the beginning of their careers. But
it was also the end of their friendship. Over the next twenty
years, Mirren McLean would become one of the most powerful writers
in the movie industry. Zander Leith would break box-office records
as cinema's most in-demand action hero. And Davie Johnson would
rake in millions as producer of some of the biggest shows on TV.
For two decades they didn't speak, driven apart by a horrific
secret. Until now... Their past is coming back to bite them, and
they have to decide whether to run, hide, or fight. Because when
you rise to the top, there's always someone who wants to see you
fall. An exciting new glam thriller for the fans of Taylor Jenkins
Reid, Liane Moriarty and Jo Spain Previously published in the UK as
TAKING HOLLYWOOD by Shari King. 'Brilliant, a white-knuckle ride of
a novel. Gripping and wildly glamorous' Tilly Bagshawe 'It's a real
slice of Hollywood and a brilliant read' Gerard Butler 'A glam,
edgy thriller, just the way I like them' Martina Cole 'Sex, scandal
and secrets galore' Jackie Collins 'A high-stakes thriller with a
dark, moving story at its core. Page-turning entertainment at its
very best' - TJ Emerson 'It's a thriller that's gritty, sexy and a
sensational page turner. You won't be able to put it down. I loved
it!' Lorraine Kelly 'I loved this Hollywood tale with deep Scottish
roots. It's dark, sinful, glittering and thrilling. An absolute
adventure from the very first page' Carmen Reid 'The mean streets
of Glasgow meet the glitz of Hollywood. A riveting read!' - Evie

Martin Cruz Smith's "masterful" ("USA TODAY") and "irresistible"
("People") "New York Times" bestseller and "Washington Post"
notable book of the year: Arkady Renko must connect the dots among
a Russian journalist's mysterious death, corrupt politicians,
murderous gangsters, and brazen bureaucrats.
Arkady Renko, one of the iconic investigators of contemporary
fiction, has survived the cultural journey from the Soviet Union to
the New Russia, only to find the nation as obsessed with secrecy
and brutality as was the old Communist dictatorship. In "Tatiana,"
the melancholy hero unravels a mystery as complex and dangerous as
modern Russia itself.
The reporter Tatiana Petrovna falls to her death from a sixth-floor
window in Moscow the same week that a mob billionaire is shot and
buried with the trappings due a lord. The trail leads to
Kaliningrad, a Cold War "secret city" that is separated by hundreds
of miles from the rest of Russia. The more Arkady delves into
Tatiana's past, the more she leads him into a surreal world of
wandering sand dunes, abandoned children, and a notebook written in
the personal code of a dead translator. Finally, in a lethal race
to uncover what the translator knew, Renko makes a startling
discovery that draws him still deeper into Tatiana's past--and,
paradoxically, into Russia's future, where bulletproof cars, poets,
corruption of the Baltic Fleet, and a butcher for hire combine to
give Kaliningrad the "distinction" of having the highest crime rate
in Russia.
More than a mystery, "Tatiana" is Martin Cruz Smith's most
ambitious and politically daring novel since "Gorky Park." It is a
story rich in character, black humor, and romance, with an insight
that is the hallmark of a writer "The" "New York Times" has called
"endlessly entertaining and deeply serious... not merely] our best
writer of suspense, but of one of our best writers, period."
