To solve a murder, you need to know your victim.

When a ravaged body is discovered on a building site in Bristol, the first job is to identify who the person is. Luckily, DS George Cross is famous for spotting clues that others overlook.

George needs a name to stand any chance of solving the murder, and while the man's identity remains a mystery, a picture is emerging. Faint tan lines and scars on the forearms reveal he was an amateur cyclist who used performance-enhancing drugs.

This man was ambitious, someone desperate to win - but at what cost? And who took the final payment?

Perfect for fans of MW Craven, Ann Cleeves and Joy Ellis, The Cyclist is part of the million-copy-bestselling George Cross Mystery series, which can be read in any order.

Drie van die die geliefde Ena Murray se heel beste speur- en spanningsverhale word hier byeengebring:

In Satan van Zimbabwe begin die intrige met 'n koerantberig oor 'n bloedlose lyk met erg verswakte organe. Kan dit die volmaakte moord wees, of is daar bonatuurlike kragte ter sprake? Êrens, verskuil in die mis tussen die mistieke Zimbabwe-ruïnes, lê die antwoord.

In Die man met die geel oë gee die werkgewers van geheime agent majoor Brand Böhm aan hom 'n unieke opdrag: dié aangewese "Suid-Afrikaanse James Bond" moet saam met 'n vrou van sy keuse een nag lank die stad rooi te verf, en hom in die proses so skandelik
gedra dat hy oneervol uit die weermag ontslaan sal word.

En in Onrus op Oshakati hoop dr. Linda Maartens sy kan die donker wolk wat oor haar professionele naam hang, ontvlug. Maar die verlede het ’n manier om 'n mens te agtervolg . . . Terreuraktiwiteite en dwelmsmokkelary vier hoogty – en kort voor lank word sy in ’n
web van misdaad vasgespin.

You think he might even be made for you.

Before long he’s moved into your house – and into your heart.

And then he leaves for days at a time. You don’t know where he’s gone or who he’s with.

And you realise - if you looked back - you’d say to yourself:

Don’t miss the new read-in-one-sitting Lisa Jewell novel; a cautionary story that could happen to you…

You’d never guess Lottie Jones had skeletons in her closet.

She’s lived in town for decades now. She’s getting older. She lives for the simple pleasures of weekly bingo games at church, and gossiping with her friends about their children’s love lives.

But when investigative journalist Plum Dixon shows up on her doorstep asking questions about Lottie’s past, and specifically about her connection to numerous unsolved murders, well, Lottie just can’t have that.

But getting away with murder is hard enough when you’re young. And when Lottie receives another annoying knock on the door, she realises this crime might just be the death of her…

Moord aan boord van die Leonardo

Forensiese patoloog Madelein Blignaut het al te veel dood in haar loopbaan gesien. Ná nog ’n ontstellende hofsaak besluit sy om ontvlugting te gaan soek op die Leonardo, ’n luukse passasierskip wat deur die verre ooste vaar.

Daar ontmoet sy ’n groep fassinerende Suid-Afrikaners: Die bekroonde pianis Tibor Lindeque wat kort-kort bekommerd vir haar kyk en ’n aantreklike kulkunstenaar Helmut Coleman wat gou vir haar onweer-staanbaar raak.

Wanneer hulle op Okinawa afklim, vertel Tibor vir haar die inwoners van hierdie eiland word oeroud. “Daar is nie dood op Okinawa nie.”

Maar hy is verkeerd. Kort voor lank tref hulle die een na die ander medepassasier se lyk aan. ’n Storm dwing hulle na dieper waters toe, en dan besef Madelein daar is ’n moordenaar op die Leonardo. Wie is dit? Wat wil hulle hê? En, meer belangrik, wie’s volgende?

Introducing Detective Stilwell: a cop relentlessly following his mission in the seemingly idyllic setting of Catalina Island.
 
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Detective Stilwell has been “exiled” to a low-key post policing rustic Catalina Island, after department politics drove him off a homicide desk on the mainland. But while following up the usual drunk-and-disorderlies and petty thefts that come with his new territory, Detective Stilwell gets a report of a body found weighed down at the bottom of the harbor—a Jane Doe identifiable at first only by a streak of purple dye in her hair. At the same time, a report of poaching on a protected reserve turns into a case fraught with violence and danger as Stilwell digs into the shady past of an island bigwig.
 
Crossing all lines of protocol and jurisdiction, Stilwell doggedly works both cases. Though hampered by an old beef with an ex-colleague determined to thwart him at every turn, he is convinced he is the only one who can bring justice to the woman known as “Nightshade.” Soon, his investigation uncovers closely guarded secrets and a dark heart to the serene island that was meant to be his escape from the evils of the big city.

Jess needs a fresh start. She's broke and alone, and she's just left her job under less than ideal circumstances. Her half-brother Ben didn't sound thrilled when she asked if she could crash with him for a bit, but he didn't say no, and surely everything will look better from Paris. Only when she shows up - to find a very nice apartment, could Ben really have afforded this? - he's not there.

The longer Ben stays missing, the more Jess starts to dig into her brother's situation, and the more questions she has. Ben's neighbors are an eclectic bunch, and not particularly friendly. Jess may have come to Paris to escape her past, but it's starting to look like it's Ben's future that's in question.

In this exclusive authorized edition from the Queen of Mystery, the unstoppable Hercule Poirot finds himself in the Middle East with only one day to solve a murder.

Among the towering red cliffs of Petra, like some monstrous swollen Buddha, sits the corpse of Mrs. Boynton. A tiny puncture mark on her wrist is the only sign of the fatal injection that killed her.

With only twenty-four hours available to solve the mystery, Hercule Poirot recalled a chance remark he’d overheard back in Jerusalem: “You see, don’t you, that she’s got to be killed?” Mrs. Boynton was, indeed, the most detestable woman he’d ever met. . . .

From bestselling author, Anthony Horowitz, comes a new novel in the bestselling Magpie Murders series in which editor, Susan Ryeland, uncovers the clues in an Atticus Pünd mystery to solve a murder.

Susan Ryeland has had enough of murder. She’s edited two novels about the famous detective, Atticus Pünd, and both times she’s come close to being killed. Now she’s back in England and she’s been persuaded to work on a third.

The new ‘continuation’ novel is by Eliot Crace, grandson of Miriam Crace who was the biggest selling children’s author in the world until her death exactly twenty years ago.

Eliot believes that Miriam was deliberately poisoned. And when he tells Susan that he has hidden the identity of Miriam’s killer inside his book, Susan knows she’s in trouble once again.

As Susan works on Pünd’s Last Case, a story set in an exotic villa in the South of France, she uncovers more and more parallels between the past and the present, the fictional and the real world – until suddenly she finds that she has become a target herself.

It seems that someone in Eliot’s family doesn’t want the book to be written. And they will do anything to prevent it.
