When the body of a young woman is washed up on an idyllic beach on the west coast of Scotland, D.C.I. Jim Daley is despatched from Glasgow to lead the investigation. Far from home, and his troubled marriage, it seems that Daley's biggest obstacle will be managing the difficult local police chief; but when the prime suspect is gruesomely murdered, the inquiry begins to stall. As the body count rises, Daley uncovers a network of secrets and corruption in the closeknit community of Kinloch, thrusting him and his loved ones into the centre of a case more deadly than he had ever imagined. The first novel in the D.C.I. Daley series, Whisky from Small Glasses is a truly compelling crime novel, shot through with dark humour and menace.

The truth can have deadly consequences...On a sunny morning, when the Mediterranean is dead calm, Captain Paul Thomas embarks on a dive to the wreck of the Zenobia, off the coast of Larnaca, Cyprus. Within hours, he has taken his final, gasping breath in an accident below the surface. A new Royal Military Police liaison is required to pick up on his work, and Major Helen Scott gets the assignment. It turns out Paul Thomas had rattled cages during his current case - four serving soldiers are in custody accused of the leaking of state intelligence. If proven, the scandal would rock the foundation of the armed forces. Once on Cyprus, it becomes clear that the island relies on a delicate balance of old-school glad-handing and turning a blind eye, and anyone who threatens to upset the equilibrium will find themselves in the line of fire... An action-packed crime thriller, perfect for fans of Angela Marsons and Lee Child.

And during a childhood spent at the mercy of a father whose schemes put him on the wrong side of the law as often as the right, and a grandfather who knew the bad parts of town like the back of his hand, young Jim learned sin better than any writer had before.
From his rabble-rousing adolescencein the American Midwest, to wasted teenage years in the seedy underbelly of the hotel industry, to Thompson's chilling encounter with the real-life inspiration of THE KILLER INSIDE ME, BAD BOY offers a fascinating glimpse at the formative years of the man who would become one of the most famous authors of modern American Noir, in the autobiography-as-novel that follows the birth of the legend himself in the signature style Thompson made famous.

Prokureur Ian Brand stuur ’n ondeurdagte twiet die kuberruim in en sy lewe word oornag pure hel. Thuli Khumalo, studenteaktivis op 'n kampus wat stink na petrol en traangas, moet kies tussen vaderverraad of haar beginsels versaak. Snaar Windvogel, vroeër van Matjiesfontein, is nou in transisie onder die lem van ’n enigmatiese plastiese chirurg. En al hoe gereelder slaan ’n kruisboogmoordenaar in die Moederstad toe . . .

Want Etienne van Heerden se tergend aktuele nuwe roman sê veel oor die tyd waarin ons lewe, waar privaatheid en identiteit abstrakte begrippe geword het, fopnuus ononderskeibaar van die werklikheid, en “die waarheid” klaarblyklik ’n onhaalbare ideaal.

Joelle Jesson is 40 and single and now suddenly unemployed. After a long and distinguished career as a fiction editor at powerful publishing companies, her future is extinguished by a world that no longer cares as much for books as it does for faster and more superficial digital pleasures.

Buddy Rappaport, the young, glamorous new CEO of her famed publisher, CrossMedia, is tasked with letting her go. Soon after, he is found dead at his desk, with no apparent cause. Joelle’s plot instincts light up. Was he killed? And if so, why? Did he commit suicide? A lifetime of massaging the plots of stories leaves her obsessed with getting to the bottom of his death. Is it the dark and taciturn brother, Cubby, a near-unknown artist painting strange canvases in his small apartment? He is a dead ringer for Buddy, volcanically sexy, but so different to his charismatic and successful younger brother.

Or is it the handsome and cynical LAPD detective, Corelli, who accosts Joelle at Buddy’s funeral, trying to get her to read his first manuscript for a novel, a murder story eerily reminiscent of what happened in the corner office of the company where she spent so many years?

Or perhaps the deranged and talentless loner, Thron, desperate for fame and fortune, trying to foist an absurd science fiction manuscript on all and sundry, driven mad by constant rejection and derision, stalking elite publishing executives with a gun in his pocket?
