For two months every winter, when Pacific storms make landfall,
Oahu's paradisical North Shore turns into a fiery hell. Its
population more than triples as mainlanders, Brazilians,
Australians, and Europeans transform the normally sleepy shore into
a lawless, violent, drug-addled, and adrenaline-soaked mecca where
fearless men paddle into thirty-foot waves breaking over a
razor-sharp reef. And when the sun goes down, the true danger comes
out as drug money, fights, murder, and extortion rule the surfing
underworld. The North Shore during winter is downright dangerous
but also exhilarating, and Chas Smith paints a true picture of what
it feels like to be in the middle of it all. Welcome to Paradise,
Now Go to Hell is both a breathtaking and wildly funny tale of
beauty, wickedness, and the unyielding allure of ocean waves in all
their glory.
From award-winning author Benjamin Dean comes a deliciously dark
and addictive YA thriller following the lives of Gen Z’s rich and
famous through the lens of an undercover teen journalist. Perfect
for fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and One of Us is
Lying. 'This [book] has "Netflix adaptation" written all
over it.' The Bookseller  London-born Abel has landed the
role of a lifetime for an upcoming blockbuster. On the face of it
he’s Hollywood’s latest teen star, but below the surface he’s
an undercover journalist on a mission to expose the ‘squeaky
clean’ entertainment industry and the part they played in his
brother’s ‘accidental’ death. As Abel steps into the
spotlight alongside fellow actors Lucky, Ryan and Ella, he soon
discovers that beneath the glittering surface of fame and riches
lies a darker world of secrecy, scandal and murder. Nobody is who
they seem when the cameras are off, and everybody has something to
hide. But who’s next in line to die famous? Â
Drawing on his previous career as a celebrity journalist, Benjamin
Dean examines the dark underbelly of showbiz, leaving no stone
unturned. PRAISE FOR BENJAMIN DEAN’S THE KING IS DEAD:

World  ‘One page-burning scandal after another. Benjamin
Dean is YA royalty.’ Femi Fadugba, author of The Upper
World ‘Addictive, compelling, and utterly

The coronation of George VI on 12 May 1937 was one of the biggest
media events of the interwar period. While other photographers
focused on the new King, his family and the ceremonial splendour of
the day, Henri Cartier-Bresson turned his lens on the crowds that
gathered in the streets of London to watch the pageantry. In a
witty reversal of the expected order of proceedings, he shows us
ordinary people of all ages and walks of life, some climbing on
monuments or each other’s shoulders, others straining to get a
better view with cardboard periscopes and mirrors on sticks. A few
even slump on the ground, the festivities having proved too much.
Presented alongside contemporary news clippings from around the
world, these remarkable images reflect Cartier-Bresson’s
unmistakeable photographic eye and capture the British public at a
unique historical moment.
