East Berlin 1968: a city recovering from the horrors of WWII and where
the state police, the Stasi, cultivate a climate of paranoia and fear.
In a place where your closest friend or family member could be a state
informer, the threat of violence is ever present and no one knows this
more than damaged school teacher Sebastian Metzger. But something evil
and ancient is stalking Metzger from the shadows of war–torn
buildings–something which threatens the city and perhaps even the
future of humanity itself. Tiny Acts of Violence is a stunning horror
graphic novel from Martin Stiff, writer and illustrator of the
critically acclaimed and award-nominated The Absence. “It’s an erudite
indictment of social conditioning - - it goes beyond The Lives of
Others in its critique of the Stasi.” Pat Mills (Charley’s War,
Spacewarp) “Has the feel of a long-unearthed Hitchcock… A highly
effective thriller” Rob Williams (Old Haunts, Judge Dredd) “The
atmosphere of menace and state control-induced paranoia drops from it’s
pages.” Simon Furman (Transformers, To The Death) “Gorgeously moody,
graphically striking and brilliantly cinematic” Andrew Cartmel (The
Vinyl Detective, Doctor Who)
What antique would you kill for?
Freya, it’s down to you to finish what I started . . .
Freya Lockwood has avoided the quaint English village in which she grew
up for the last 20 years. That is until news arrives that Arthur
Crockleford, antiques dealer and Freya’s estranged mentor, has died –
and the circumstances seem suspicious.
You will uncover an invitation, I implore you to attend . . .
But when a letter from Arthur is delivered, sent just days before his
death, and an ordinary pine chest concealing Arthur’s journals are
revealed, Freya finds herself sucked back into a life she’d sworn to
leave behind.
But beware, trust no-one. Your life depends on it . . .
Joining forces with her eccentric Aunt Carole, Arthur’s staunch best
friend, Freya follows both clues and her instincts to an old manor
house for an ‘antiques enthusiasts weekend’. But not is all as it
seems; the antiques are bad reproductions and the guests all have
something to hide.
Can Freya and Carole solve the mystery and unearth the killer before
they strike again? Find out in The Antique Hunter's Guide to Murder,
the unputdownable cosy crime caper from C L Miller.

WHEN THE VOICES CALL, DON'T ANSWER...
In the wake of his parents' tragic deaths fourteen-year-old Richard
Elauved has been sent to live with his aunt and uncle in the remote
town of Ballantyne.
Richard quickly earns a reputation as an outcast, and when a classmate
named Tom goes missing, no one believes him when he says the telephone
booth out by the edge of the woods sucked Tom into the receiver like
something out of a horror movie.
No one, that is, except the enigmatic Karen, who encourages Richard to
pursue clues the police refuse to investigate. He traces the number to
an abandoned house in the woods. There he catches a glimpse of a
terrifying face in the window. And then the voices start.
When another classmate disappears, Richard grapples with the dark magic
that's possessing Ballantyne to try and find them before it’s too
late...

Who is trying to destroy Barclay Clements' fragile wife Nicky? The
mysterious figure from her past? Or someone closer to home? Someone
they look upon as a friend? This is Michael Limmer's fourth
full-length thriller, his previous being A Heart to Betray (2015).
All profi ts from his writings are shared between three Christian
charities: Support for Romania, assisting poor and homeless
families in that country; Starfi sh Asia, helping educate children
from the poorest families in Pakistan; and Barnabas Fund, aiding
persecuted Christian minorities world-wide.
A mother, her daughter and a family friend, are brutally killed at Kellon Manse one quiet summer’s day. A young girl disappears and has not been seen since.
All fingers point to the husband of one of the victims. Yet he still walks free.
Cristy Ward has discovered the perfect next feature for her true crime podcast. Who really killed the three women at Kellon Manse? And is there a chance the missing girl is still alive?
Welcome to the party of the year.
You’ve been invited to an exclusive, luxury event in Norway, hosted by
a billionaire. Your moment has finally arrived. But you’re not going
for the canapes and champagne. You’re going for revenge.
Where anything is possible.
You’ve spent months preparing for this moment. Because you know that
beneath the host’s polished public persona, he’s a vicious killer who
has murdered several innocent people, including your sister.
Even murder...
Then a guest dies in mysterious circumstances, and you begin to
wonder... is this a trap? Why does it feel like you're being watched?
And will you ever escape?
Sophia, Safa, Ella, Ajola and Caoimhe have been friends since school.
They are difficult, unlikeable women; funny, sharp and clever ones –
the sort that would have probably ended up burned at the stake a few
hundred years ago.
When one of them is about to be framed for murder, they inextricably
bind their fates together via some bin bags, a spade and a promise
never to tell. Afterwards, they decide to separate to ensure the safety
of their secret, leaving each of them to navigate the daily challenges
of womanhood alone.
But when an anonymous blackmailer threatens to expose them years later,
the group must come back together to get their stories straight – and
find out who is behind their torment. But is it already too late?
When Cora Lansquenet is savagely murdered with a hatchet, the
extraordinary remark she made the previous day at her brother
Richard's funeral suddenly takes on a chilling significance. At the
reading of Richard's will, Cora was clearly heard to say, "It's
been hushed up very nicely, hasn't it.... But he was murdered,
wasn't he?"
In desperation, the family solicitor turns to Hercule Poirot to
unravel the mystery....
