From the Number 1 bestselling author of Our Little Cruelties and
Skin Deep Sally Diamond cannot understand why what she did was so
strange. She was only doing what her father told her to do, to put
him out with the rubbish when he died. Now Sally is the centre of
attention, not only from the hungry media and police detectives,
but also a sinister voice from a past she cannot remember. As she
begins to discover the horrors of her childhood, Sally steps into
the world for the first time, making new friends and big decisions,
and learning that people don't always mean what they say. But who
is the man observing Sally from the other side of the world? And
why does her neighbour seem to be obsessed with her? Sally's trust
issues are about to be severely challenged . . . ***** 'I loved
every damn second of it' Lisa Jewell 'Liz Nugent has outdone
herself. Twisted and twisty, dark and gripping, no one is going to
forget Sally Diamond in a hurry!' Graham Norton 'Terrific' Ian
Rankin 'So, so good! Sally gets under your skin and worms her way
into your heart. I didn't want it to end' Jane Fallon 'I'm lost in
admiration for Liz and her writing . . . vivid, pacy, taut but so
very moving' Marian Keyes
Two dead bodies and a Christmas stocking weaponised. A Postman
murdered delivering cards on Christmas morning. A Christmas tree
growing over a forgotten homicide. It's the most wonderful time of
the year, except for the victims of these shocking and often
elaborate murders. When there's magic in the air, sometimes even
the facts don't quite add up and the impossible can happen -- and
it's up to the detective's trained eye to unwrap the clues and put
together an explanation neatly tied up with a bow. Martin Edwards
compiles an anthology filled with tales of seasonal suspense where
the snow runs red, perfect to be shared between super-sleuths by
the fire on a cold winter's night.

The highly anticipated sequel to Juan Gómez-Jurado's number 1
international bestseller, Red Queen, now an original series streaming
on Amazon Prime.
Antonia Scott is the lynchpin of the Red Queen project, created to work
behind the scenes to solve the most dark, devious and dangerous crimes.
In southern Spain, in the Costa del Sol, a key mafia figure is found
brutally murdered in his villa, his pregnant wife, Lola Moreno, barely
escapes an attempt to kill her and is on the run. An unusual shipping
container arrives from St Petersburg in Spain with the corpses of nine
women.
Now Antonia, with the help of her protector, Jon Gutierrez, must track
down the missing Lola. But they aren’t the only ones – a dangerous
hitman, known as the Black Wolf, is also on her trail. And Antonia
Scott, still plagued by her personal demons, must outwit,
out-manoeuvre, and, ultimately, face this terrible, mysterious killer.
Translated by Nick Caistor and Lorenza Garcia, Black Wolf follows on
from Red Queen and features Antonia Scott, the most compelling and
original detective since Lisbeth Salander.

'A hugely entertaining, deftly told crime caper' - Irish
Independent A CRIME READERS ASSOCIATION Read of the Month When
Daniella Coulstoun's estranged mother Effie dies in Spain under
suspicious circumstances, she feels it's her duty to fly out for
the funeral. On arrival, Daniella is confronted by a dangerous
group of expat misfits who claim that Effie stole huge sums of cash
from them in a multi-million property scam. They want the money
back and Daniella is on the hook for it. When a suspicious Spanish
detective begins to probe Effie's death and a London gangster hears
about the missing money, Daniella faces threats on every front.
With no idea where the cash is and facing a seemingly impossible
deadline, she quickly finds herself out of her depth and fighting
for survival in a strange and terrifying world.
Holidays offer us the luxury of getting away from it all. So, in a
different way, do detective stories. This collection of vintage
mysteries combines both those pleasures. From a golf course at the
English seaside to a pension in Paris, and from a Swiss mountain
resort to the cliffs of Normandy, this new selection shows the
enjoyable and unexpected ways in which crime writers have used
summer holidays as a theme. These fourteen stories range widely
across the golden age of British crime fiction. Stellar names from
the past are well represented - Arthur Conan Doyle and G. K.
Chesterton, for instance - with classic stories that have won
acclaim over the decades. The collection also uncovers a wide range
of hidden gems: Anthony Berkeley - whose brilliance with plot had
even Agatha Christie in raptures - is represented by a story so
(undeservedly) obscure that even the British Library seems not to
own a copy. The stories by Phyllis Bentley and Helen Simpson are
almost equally rare, despite the success which both writers
achieved, while those by H. C. Bailey, Leo Bruce and the
little-known Gerald Findler have seldom been reprinted.
A shocking double murder at Israel's top academic institution brings Superintendent Michael Ohayon to the scene to probe the nature of creativity and unravel the mystery.
