When a family emergency brings Cyborg back home to Detroit, Victor
Stone surprisingly finds himself enjoying returning to the simpler
life--where everybody sees him for who he really is and always was,
rather than a larger-than-life superhero. It’s been a while since
Vic’s been able to lower his guard and seek a purpose outside of
being Cyborg 24/7. But a lot has changed in Detroit while
Victor’s been away. An aggressive new company is turning the
Motor City into an overclocked engine for revolutionary artificial
intelligence...and no one knows better than Cyborg that
technological transformation always comes at a steep human price!

What happens when two sets of parent's meet up to deal with the
unruly behaviour of their children? A calm and rational debate
between grown-ups about the need to teach kids how to behave
properly? Or a hysterical night of name-calling, tantrums and tears
before bedtime? Boys will be boys, but the adults are usually worse
- much worse. God of Carnage won the Olivier Award for Best Comedy
and the Tony award for Best Play.
One killer can hide in a city of millions When a homeless man is
found dead in an abandoned tube station, DI Denning and DS Fisher
are shocked to find out he has been stabbed. Who would want to kill
a homeless man? And why? As they uncover his identity as a man
involved in a serious fraud case several years ago, it leads to
even more questions. Why are the victim's family so reluctant to
help them solve the case? Who else is involved? Faced with a wall
of silence, the squad finds only one man willing to share what he
saw of the murder. But when he too is found dead, it's clear that
someone will take brutal lengths to hide their secrets. Driven by
his conviction that the dead man is owed justice and finding that
some very dangerous individuals are tied up with the case, Denning
won't rest until he solves the crime - but can he find the killer
before he kills again? Meanwhile, Molly realises she is being
stalked. Could this somehow be connected to the case, or is there
someone in her personal life who wishes her harm? Join DI Denning
and DS Fisher for another unputdownable London crime thriller, for
fans of Stuart MacBride and Cara Hunter. Readers can't get enough
of the Denning and Fisher series: ‘fast paced and utterly
gripping, with plenty to keep you guessing from start to finish.
Thoroughly entertaining.’ The Bookwormery ‘Well-paced, with a
few clever twists, I was never quite sure I knew who the killer
was. Graeme Hampton’s writing is fabulous.’ Jessica Belmont
‘This story starts with a bang and holds your attention
throughout… fast paced and multi layered, each twist and turn
drawing us further in’ Book Bound ‘Enough twists to keep you
guessing in this solid, engrossing and well plotted police
procedural… thoroughly entertaining’ The Bookwormery ‘Wow I
really enjoyed this book… It is a complex, intriguing, grabbing
book that you can sink your teeth into. I was hooked from beginning
to end’ Reading Through the Pain
Interior designer Leslie Banker grew up learning the trade by her
decorator mother s side. The most important thing her mother taught
her was that thinking like a decorator means focusing on developing
the story of the space and its inhabitants. That story is what
gives a place style, depth, character, and its own unique look, as
well as most importantly makes the people who live there happy.
Think Like a Decorator shows readers how to do just that. Banker
teaches readers how to drill down and articulate what appeals to
them. She explains how to drop anchors for the project, whether it
s a favorite paint color or an inherited family piece, and what is
essential to living comfortably in a home (hint: enough chairs at
the dinner table). Banker also covers how to identify what is not
working currently (the pile of backpacks that grows at the end of
each day in that neglected corner) and how to solve the inevitable
issues that will arise (the paint color that turned garish on the
wall). Witty and entertaining, with Q and As from noted designers
including Alexa Hampton, Tom Scheerer, Amanda Nisbet, Katie Ridder,
and Christopher Spitzmiller, Think Like a Decorator is, ultimately,
about how to live happily and well at home.

Nicolas, just two years ago a smiling boy, is going through a
difficult phase after his parents' divorce. He's listless, skipping
classes, lying. He believes moving in with his father and his new
family may help. And a different school, a fresh start. When he
doesn't feel comfortable there, when he senses he isn't wanted, he
decides that going back to his mother's may be the answer. But at
some point, options are going to dry up. And then what? I'm telling
you. I don't understand what's happening to me. Florian Zeller's
The Son forms the final part in a trilogy with The Mother and The
Father, all of which are translated by Christopher Hampton. The Son
premiered at the Kiln Theatre, London, in February 2019.
Andre and Madeleine have been in love for over fifty years. This
weekend, as their daughters visit, something feels unusual. A bunch
of flowers arrive, but who sent them? A woman from the past turns
up, but who is she? And why does Andre feel like he isn't there at
all? Christopher Hampton's translation of Florian Zeller's The
Height of the Storm was first performed at Richmond Theatre,
London, and opened in the West End at Wyndham's Theatre in October
2018.
Valor is the magnificent story of a genuine American hero who
survived the fall of the Philippines and brutal captivity under the
Japanese, from New York Times bestselling author Dan Hampton.
Lieutenant William Frederick "Bill" Harris was 25 years old when
captured by Japanese forces during the Battle of Corregidor in May
1942. This son of a decorated Marine general escaped from hell on
earth by swimming eight hours through a shark-infested bay; but his
harrowing ordeal had just begun. Shipwrecked on the southern coast
of the Philippines, he was sheltered by a Filipino aristocrat,
engaged in guerilla fighting, and eventually set off through
hostile waters to China. After 29 days of misadventures and violent
storms, Harris and his crew limped into a friendly fishing village
in the southern Philippines. Evading and fighting for months, he
embarked on another agonizing voyage to Australia, but was betrayed
by treacherous islanders and handed over to the Japanese. Held for
two years in the notorious Ofuna prisoner-of-war camp outside
Yokohama, Harris was continuously starved, tortured, and beaten,
but he never surrendered. Teaching himself Japanese, he
eavesdropped on the guards and created secret codes to communicate
with fellow prisoners. After liberation on August 30, 1945, Bill
represented American Marine POWs during the Japanese surrender in
Tokyo Bay before joining his father and flying to a home he had not
seen in four years. Valor is a riveting new look at the Pacific
War. Through military documents, personal photos, and an
unpublished memoir provided by his daughter, Harris' experiences
are dramatically revealed through his own words in the expert hands
of bestselling author and retired fighter pilot Dan Hampton. This
is the stunning and captivating true story of an American hero.
