Twelve-year-old Theo Tatterly’s ability to see ghosts is a useful
skill in a house full of dead relatives, but it makes him a loner
at school and everywhere else, where ghosts eternally pester him
for help. For Theo, life is easier on the periphery. When his first
failed exorcism portends an end to the Tatterly line, Theo must
bring together his entire family—living and dead—to save the
home they’ve lived in for generations . . . and maybe the world.

Taking off the wraps once more, but this time the action moves to
China for round three of the Mummy adventure. For 2,000 years the
ruthless Chinese Dragon Emperor (Jet Li) and his vast army of
warriors have been frozen in time, cast in clay, waiting for their
moment to rise again. When young archaeologist Alex O'Connell (Luke
Ford) is duped into bringing the ancient warlord back to life, he
soon realises he has to call in the only people he knows with
experience and knowledge of how to battle the undead - his parents,
father Rick (Brendan Fraser) and mother Evelyn (Maria Bello). As
the emperor attempts to re-unite with his massed warriors and
finally fulfil his dream of world domination, Alex and his family,
along with mystical, high-kicking sorceress Zi Juan (Michelle Yeoh)
and a rival cast of undead, have to pull out all the stops to keep
the evil tyrant from achieving his ends.

'As breathless, complex and on-the-edge suspenseful as the finest
thriller fiction - but it's all real, which makes it truly
extraordinary' Lee Child 'McMafia for the new age' Catherine
Belton, author of Putin's People: How the KGB Took Back Russia and
then took on the West 'Compelling, visceral and highly readable'
Oliver Bullough, bestselling author of Moneyland 'This astonishing
and cinematic rollercoaster of a debut will bring Miles Johnson's
talent into the brilliant light. Delivered with trademark verve and
precision, it achieves that rare and precious thing that is the
goal of all great reporting: it reveals the world to itself' Alex
Perry, author of The Good Mothers 'Miles has used his extensive
Italian contacts to get a fully-fleshed out story in the Mafia
section; likewise with the Hezbollah characters. He has interviewed
over 100 people for the book, including many hours with Jack Kelly,
the DEA investigator and hero of the book, which gives us an
intimate look at a man dedicated to catching bad guys at the
expense of his personal life' Dan McCrum, author of Money Men A
compulsive true crime thriller about modern-day international drugs
trafficking, terrorism and geopolitical intrigue following an
investigation driven by one DEA agent, Jack Kelly. Three very
different men battle to control their destinies as they hurtle
through the hall of mirrors of the global shadow economy. Jack
Kelly, a veteran US Drug Enforcement Administration agent, tasked
with following a trail of dirty money across continents from a
top-secret investigative unit based in Virginia. Salvatore Pititto
is an ambitious Mafia capo working on a vast cocaine shipment who
becomes unexpectedly pulled into an arms-smuggling conspiracy.
Mustafa Badreddine is a ghost-like master terrorist wanted by
governments across the world who has been secretly dispatched to
Syria for his final mission. Each man, born in radically different
circumstances in the 1960s, is in his own way grappling with the
powerful and unstoppable forces that shape the world around us;
forces which topple governments, send refugees fleeing across
borders, and put guns in the hands of mercenaries and militias.
Each has devoted his whole life to an institution-the DEA, the
Mafia and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah-and each will
eventually be destroyed or betrayed by the thing they believe in
the most. Set during 2015 and 2016, as the global order began to
implode under the pressures of the Syrian civil war and the
European refugee crisis, CHASING SHADOWS looks back over the
historical conflicts, events and personal histories that have
shaped the lives of these three men. It's a book that shows the
betrayals, the disillusionment and the violence as Jack Kelly hunts
down his targets.

NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER * NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * WINNER OF
THE CUNDILL HISTORY PRIZE 'A remarkable book' - Jennifer Szalai,
The New York Times 'A brilliant exercise in historical excavation
and recovery' - Annette Gordon-Reed, author of The Hemingses of
Monticello 'A history told with brilliance and tenderness and
fearlessness' - Jill Lepore, author of These Truths: A History of
the United States In 1850s South Carolina, Rose, an enslaved woman,
faced a crisis: the imminent sale of her daughter Ashley. Thinking
quickly, she packed a cotton bag with a few items. Soon after, the
nine-year-old girl was separated from her mother and sold. Decades
later, Ashley's granddaughter Ruth embroidered this family history
on the sack in spare, haunting language. That, in itself, is a
story. But it's not the whole story. How does one uncover the lives
of people who, in their day, were considered property? Harvard
historian Tiya Miles carefully traces these women's faint presence
in archival records, and, where archives fall short, she turns to
objects, art, and the environment to write a singular history of
the experience of slavery, and the uncertain freedom afterward. All
That She Carried gives us history as it was lived, a poignant story
of resilience and love passed down against steep odds.

Few philosophers are more often referred to and more often
misunderstood than Machiavelli. He was truly a product of the
Renaissance, and he was as much a revolutionary in the field of
political philosophy as Leonardo or Michelangelo were in painting
and sculpture. He watched his native Florence lose its independence
to the French, thanks to poor leadership from the Medici successors
to the great Lorenzo (Il Magnifico). Machiavelli was a keen
observer of people, and he spent years studying events and people
before writing his famous books. Descended from minor nobility,
Machiavelli grew up in a household that was run by a vacillating
and incompetent father. He was well educated and smart, and he
entered government service as a clerk. He eventually became an
important figure in the Florentine state but was defeated by the
deposed Medici and Pope Julius II. He was tortured but eventually
freed by the restored Medici. No longer employed, he retired to his
home to write the books for which he is remembered. Machiavelli had
seen the best and the worst of human nature, and he understood how
the world operated. He drew his observations from life, and he was
appropriately cynical in his writing, given what he had personally
experienced. He was an outstanding writer, and his work remains
fascinating nearly 500 years later.
