A vicious attack. Hidden perpetrators. An ordinary family.
Aalia
In the aftermath of the worst terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11, FBI Special Agent in Charge Aalia Knox and her team come under intense pressure to locate and arrest the ringleaders. But their targets are survivalists, skilled at melting into the forests of the Pacific Northwest, where they recognise no outside authority, state or federal.
Becca
Becca Abrahamson is a woman with a secret. She might look like just another suburban Monterey mother, but her ties to the survivalist community run deep. The FBI will go to any lengths to incriminate her in the terrorist attack, while she will stop at nothing to protect her family.
As the country shudders in the wake of the brutal attack on a business park, long-buried secrets emerge as the FBI seeks justice for the lives lost.
Who was Jim Grey and how did he die? Trinity Luhabe returns to school for the second term of Grade Ten determined to solve this mystery. A sixty-year-old diary might hold the answers she is looking for, but real life has a way of distracting her from her the past. Soon Trinity finds herself caught between the past and the present – between two girls who need her help and understanding.
The trouble with the past is that it won’t stay buried, as Trinity and her friends are about to discover with shocking consequences.
Following her adventures in Team Trinity, Trinity Luhabe is back in her most engaging story yet as author Fiona Snyckers tackles a sensitive subject.
Burnt out after years as a professional dancer, Ella Burchell moves to a small town on the KwaZulu Natal north coast hoping to rebuild her life. Things look up when she gets a job teaching dance to children at a for-profit private school.
But Ella hasn't reckoned with the cabal of private-school mums who run the Pines Academy as their own personal fiefdom. Circling into cliques at the school gates every morning, the mums are a force to be reckoned with.
Soon Ella is too busy fielding their demands to concentrate on her own troubles. Distraction arrives in the form of an attractive cricket coach, but Ella hardly has time to pay attention.
Fun, fast-paced and hilarious, this novel by an award-winning author skewers the world of private-school privilege.

A feminist response to Coetzee's masterwork Disgrace, and the
moving story of a woman trying to put her life back together Lucie
Lurie is the victim of an act of terrible sexual violence, a gang
rape at her father's farmhouse in the Western Cape. In the grip of
debilitating PTSD, she becomes obsessed with JM Coetzee, author of
the celebrated Disgrace, a novel based on the attack she suffered.
Withdrawn and fearful of crowds, Lucy nonetheless makes occasional
forays into the world of men in her search for Coetzee himself. She
means to confront him. The character in his novel is passive and
almost entirely lacking agency. The real Lucy means to right the
record, for she is the lacuna that Coetzee left in his novel the
missing piece of the puzzle. She plans to put herself back in the
story, to assert her agency and identity. For Lucy Lurie will be no
man's lacuna. "You are concerned for my sake, which I appreciate,
you think you understand, but finally you don't. Because you
can't." LUCY LAURIE IN COETZEE'S DISGRACE
Now following you is a clever, chilling and compelling read, which
skilfully weaves relevant issues most notably, the power social
media gives to stalkers and others who intend harm -- into a
captivating story with believable characters. “Lovely, slender
Jamie. So coltish and delicate. You’re a thoroughbred, all right.”
Jamie Burchell is a digital native – social media comes as
naturally to her as breathing. She Instagram’s, tweets and
Facebooks her every move. Then a stalker starts using social media
to track her movements. As his behavior escalates, so does her
fear. But her blog has never been more popular. The fans can’t get
enough of reading about her stalker. She is closer than ever to
achieving her dream of becoming a writer. Should she take herself
offline out of fear for her own safety or should she refuse to be
intimated? Soon the stalker starts threatening the people she cares
about. But now it’s too late for Jamie to go offline, because he is
already following her in real life.
