As Zimbabwe emerges into independence, Tambudzai Sigauke embarks on her second year at the Young Ladies' College of the Sacred Heart. Determined to excel, Tambu exhausts herself with her efforts to climb to the top of the school's honour rolls. The further she pushes herself, however, the farther she feels from any reward; and the roots of colonialism threaten to trip her at every step. The sequel to Nervous Conditions is as moving, darkly witty, and riveting as its predecessor.
Once you're in, there's only one way out...Tired of always doing
the dirty work with little reward, Danny McKay wants out of the
gangland life. But his boss, Freddie Smith, has other ideas... As
the current Top Dog of the East End, Freddie knows he must protect
his reign at all costs and if that means disposing of his much
younger, much stronger, number two, then so be it. Now, with a
price on his head, Danny must use all of his wits and connections
to stay one step ahead of Freddie - he knows his old boss won't
give up without a fight to the death. But with a turf war looming,
the question is who will survive and who will be crowned Top Dog.
Don't miss the exciting sequel to Under Dog by Kerry Kaya! Perfect
for fans of Kimberley Chambers, Heather Atkinson and Caz Finlay.
Please note this is a re-release of Top Dog, previously published
by Kerry Kaya.
Fashionable and upbeat high schooler Aya falls head over heels for an
employee at a local CD shop. He’s got an air of mystery about him,
always dressed well, and has impeccable taste in music. Little does she
know―this supposedly male employee is actually her female classmate
Mitsuki! Mitsuki generally keeps to herself, but since her seat is
right next to Aya’s, she can't help but be extremely aware of the
other’s crush. Revealing the truth is out of the question―but perhaps
getting closer to Aya wouldn’t be so bad...
Met Daar Doer in Duitswes roep Helm Jooste vervloe dae met
nostalgie en humor in herinnering. Hy vertel met selfspot van sy
eie ervarings in onder andere die ou Suidwes: vertellings wat jou
terselfdertyd laat lag en met heimwee en deernis vul. Kom dans op
maat van die Rooiduin Orkes tot rooidag; skater en bloos oor die
lywige Ant Maryntjie en die tandlose Toks – en droom saam met ’n
bobaasverteller oor die “se nou maars” en verspeelde kanse in
Jessica se blou oe.

'Mr. Anthony Berkeley deserves all gratitude for his energetic
efforts to escape from the thraldom of formula... If you are
hard-boiled and disillusioned about detectives, you will find this
tale very refreshing.' - Dorothy L. Sayers At a costume party with
the dubious theme of 'famous murderers and their victims', the
know-it-all amateur criminologist Roger Sheringham is settled in
for an evening of beer, small talk and analysing his companions.
One guest in particular has caught his attention for her theatrics,
and his theory that she might have several enemies among the
partygoers proves true when she is found hanging from the
'decorative' gallows on the roof terrace. Noticing a key detail
which could implicate a friend in the crime, Sheringham decides to
meddle with the scene and unwittingly casts himself into jeopardy
as the uncommonly thorough police investigation circles closer and
closer to the truth. Tightly paced and cleverly defying the
conventions of the classic detective story, this 1933 novel remains
a milestone of the inverted mystery subgenre.
