Summary:

A ragtag posse must hunt down a witch through a wild west beset by demons and ghosts--where death is always just around the bend--in this new supernatural horror by bestselling author Alex Grecian.

Sadie Grace is wanted for witchcraft, dead (or alive). And every hired gun in Kansas is out to collect the bounty on her head, including bona fide witch hunter Old Tom and his mysterious, mute ward, Rabbit.

On the road to Burden County, they're joined by two vagabond cowboys with a strong sense of adventure - but no sense of purpose - and a recently widowed schoolteacher with nothing left to lose. As their posse grows, so too does the danger.

Racing along the drought-stricken plains in a stolen red stagecoach, they encounter monsters more wicked than witches lurking along the dusty trail. But the crew is determined to get that bounty, or die trying.

Written with the devilish cadence of Stephen Graham Jones and the pulse-pounding brutality of Nick Cutter, Red Rabbit is an epic adventure of luck and misfortune.

On a sunny May morning in 1990, a bank courier strode out of the Bank of England and, minutes later, was robbed at knifepoint of 301 bearer bonds valued at 292 million. It was the biggest theft in British history.

The thing is... when Keith Cheeseman received a call from a disbarred lawyer connected to London's underworld and attended a meeting on the night of the robbery, he counted 427 million in bonds - 135 million more than the Bank of England had reported.

As Keith set out to launder the bonds, Scotland Yard and the FBI were always one step ahead in tracking them down. Over the next eighteen months, two gangland figures were shot dead and more than eighty people were arrested. Keith was the only man ever jailed for the crime.

He bought non-league Dunstable football club and signed Manchester United star George Best to play for the team. He knew the legendary Kray twins and killer Frankie Fraser once threatened to snuff him out him over a game of chess.

So what happened to the missing 135 million?

In this breathtaking adventure, featuring colourful characters from showbusiness alongside royalty, the IRA and even Pablo Escobar, Clifford Thurlow reveals Keith Cheeseman's incredible true story for the first time.

Summary:

THE NIGHTCLUB BOSS WHO TURNED TO FINDING FOOTBALL'S FUTURE STARS

Football attracts people from all walks of life - but very few can match the story of Paul Montgomery, the flamboyant Geordie who went from running a floating

nightclub to spotting some of the greatest British footballing talent of the last 40 years.

Montgomery started out rubbing shoulders with 1970's and 1980's A-list celebrities such as Wham, Level 42, Bryan Ferry and Wet Wet Wet at the famous (some would say infamous) Tuxedo Junction nightclub and the Boat, Newcastle's floating nightclub, before opening his own club and at the same time becoming a trusted

lieutenant of footballing icon Sir Bobby Robson.

Indeed, it was Sir Bobby himself - one of the game's most beloved legends - who labelled Montgomery my rough diamond', because the Newcastle manager, alongside other footballing masterminds such as Jim Smith, Alex McLeish, Glenn Roeder, Sam Allardyce and Sir Alex Ferguson could trust Montgomery to deliver in a

way no other scout could.

Predicting - and picking - the best young talent available is very often an ephemeral and some would say impossible job but Montgomery simply had a knack for

knowing who would make it - and who would flounder.

In his remarkable, hilarious and deeply impassioned autobiography, he lifts the lid on his incredible career change, the highs and lows of his footballing journey to the top of the sport and how he still loves the game that has given him so much.

Montgomery has run the rule over thousands of players in a career that has taken him from Hartlepool to Newcastle United, to Portsmouth, Derby County, West Ham United, Birmingham City, Aston Villa and Rangers and he's still in the game today, advising Premier League clubs on who will make it big next.

Put simply, there is no one else in football quite like Paul Montgomery - and his audiobook describes that world in all its fascinating detail, both good and bad, thrilling and tragic.

A woman with no past. A man who seems to know her. And a monstrous garden that could be the border between their worlds

Italy, 1948

Julia Lombardi is a mystery even to herself. The beautiful model cant remember where shes from, where shes been or how she came to live in Rome. When she receives an offer to accompany celebrated eccentric artist Salvador Dalí to the Sacro Bosco Italys Garden of Monsters as his muse, shes strangely compelled to accept. It could be a chance to unlock the truth about her past

Shrouded in shadow, the garden full of giant statues that sometimes seem alive is far from welcoming. Still, from the moment of their arrival at the palazzo, Julia is inexplicably drawn to their darkly enigmatic host, Ignazio. Hes alluring yet terrifying and he seems to know her.

Posing for Dalí as the goddess Persephone, Julia finds the work to be perplexing, particularly as Dalí descends deeper into his fanaticism. To him, she is Persephone, and he insists she must eat pomegranate seeds to rejoin her king.

Between Dalís fevered persistence, Ignazios uncanny familiarity and the agonizing whispered warnings that echo through the garden, Julia is soon on the verge of unraveling. And she begins to wonder if shes truly the mythical queen of the Underworld

Summary:

LONGLISTED FOR THE 2024 BOOKER PRIZE

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2024 KIRKUS PRIZE

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning and #1 internationally bestselling author of The Overstory comes an epic tale of love, friendship and humanity’s next great adventure.

When two brilliant misfits bond at an elite Chicago private school—one a white legacy kid named Todd Keane and the other, Rafi Young, a Black scholarship student from the South Side—their friendship seems as boundary-breaking and limitless as the 3,000-year-old board game that brings them together. For a time, not even simultaneously falling in love with Ina Aroita, who grew up in naval bases across the Pacific, shakes them. Until finally it does, with a betrayal that launches all three of them on radically different paths.   

Rafi disappears into literature, and Ina into art. Todd, who once dreamed of escape into the world beneath the surface of the ocean, revealed to him by the legendary Canadian diver and marine biologist Evie Beaulieu, becomes instead one of the most powerful tech billionaires on the planet whose social media empire, Playground, is remaking the global order with its AI breakthroughs. But not even wild success can insulate Todd from mortality. As illness eats away at the brain that built it all, he dreams of the life that could’ve been and the relationships he should never have let go.

Before Todd’s final act is up, past loves and present ambitions collide on the ravaged Polynesian island of Makatea, where an unnamed corporation hopes to build the first floating, autonomous city on the open sea. Traversing borders and oceans, connection and loss, ingenuity and transcendence, Playground brings to light the systems of competition, cooperation, commerce, exploration and love that tie the fates of unlikely humans together, in Richard Powers’ most transporting work of fiction yet.
