Banville J: A Death in Summer

A Death in Summer

INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER!Sisters? Forever. Friends? NEVER. Who knew a reunion weekend could be so deadly? Meet the sorority sisters of Theta Gamma Mu: <ul><li>Roxy Callahan Gentry, the ruthless former sorority president and current hostess who has painstakingly choreographed every detail of this weekend-even matching the cocktails to her couture-to prove that she remains their undisputed queen</li><li>Amelia Dell, the widow drenched in old money and alcohol, with her big pot-stirring spoon and uninvited boy-toy in tow</li><li>Jamie Vale, the double-legacy pledge, straight-A student with no sparkle, now a top cardiologist with a picture-perfect family-and a well-guarded bad habit</li><li>Beth Harrison, the scholarship student who never quite fit in and was only admitted because her best friend Sunny insisted that the two were a package deal</li><li>Sunny Spencer, the carefree and beloved friend to all, or so it seemed-until she wasn't</li></ul> They've been summoned to Roxy's luxurious Palm Springs vacation home to celebrate the engagement of her son to Beth's daughter. But the refurbished 1920s estate is eerily reminiscent of the hotel where tragedy struck during Spring Break twenty-five years ago. Long-simmering tensions and shocking secrets begin bubbling to the surface like bodies-because while the weekend was supposed to be about celebrating the future, it's not so easy to bury the past... For fans of Shari Lapena, Mary Kubica, and B. A. Paris, We Were Never Friends is an unputdownable, riveting train wreck full of dark humor and bad behavior.

A Novel

We Were Never Friends

'One of our finest crime writers' - Peter James 'Fabulous' - The Sun 'Creepy and complex' - The Times Buried in the shadows and roots of the forest is a deadly secret that was never meant to come out . . . Driving through the mountains in a fierce winter storm, David Hunter is forced to seek shelter at a remote village. But a one-night stop-over at the dilapidated Hillside House becomes deadly after a gruesome discovery in the depths of the surrounding forest. With communications down and the only road washed out by the storm, Hunter is unsure who - if anyone - he can trust. And as long-buried secrets of a feud amongst the locals begin to emerge, he knows that whatever dark past the isolated community might be hiding, there's no one he can call on for help. This time he's on his own. The Bone Garden is an atmospheric and utterly gripping mystery set in the shadows of the Cumbrian mountains, that will chill the reader to their very bones.

The 50/50 Killer

'Truly evocative' Financial Times 'If this book is not popular with fans of The White Lotus, something is definitely awry . . . [a] sumptuously set mystery' Daily Mirror ------------ An island of myth, legend . . . and murder? As the summer sun beats down on the ancient town of Acitrezza, a folk festival plays out in the picturesque harbour. Music, laughter and the aroma of local delicacies fill the air, and a traditional pantomime draws a crowd. For rookie journalist Nedda Leonardi, it's just another day's reporting in a calendar of unremarkable events. Until that is, the performers dive in the sparkling Ionian Sea for their finale... and emerge with a corpse. Could this be Nedda's big break? After one trick too many, Calogero Maugeri, self-styled Magus and con artist, is a wanted man. But his attempts to clean up his act and keep a low profile are thwarted when it's revealed he has a suspicious connection to the dead man pulled from the sea. A young reporter keen for a scoop and a reformed swindler desperate to clear his name... can this improbable pair solve the most unusual of murders?

A gripping thriller set on Italy's most beautiful island

The Magus of Sicily

Bei einem Spaziergang mit seinem Hund findet der pensionierte Kriminalkommissar Buttmei durch Zufall persönliche Habseligkeiten eines Staatsanwalts. Niemand weiß, was mit ihm geschehen ist, doch statt einer Klärung gibt es eine "von oben" verordnete Pause, Funkstille.
Ohne Dienstmarke, aber mit geschärftem Instinkt, taucht Buttmei in ein verborgenes Netz aus Lügen ein. Je näher er der Wahrheit kommt, desto gefährlicher wird das Pflaster. Seine unsichtbaren Gegner setzen alles daran, ihn zum Schweigen zu bringen und plötzlich steht Buttmei selbst im Fadenkreuz!

Packend, authentisch und herrlich hessisch - der neue Darmstadt-Krimi!

Philipp Buttmeis dritter Fall

Sankt Ludwigs Hinterhalt

Penguin Modern Classics – Crime & Espionage

A superb murder mystery set in the snowy wastes of ancient northern China Judge Dee is again in relentless pursuit of evil in one of van Gulik's most strange, atmospheric and ingenious murder mysteries. Set in a remote, freezing part of China, the novel twists together a girl's disappearance, the theft of some jewels and a horrifying beheading. And, just to make things worse, there seems to be some link with these events and a 'Seven Board', a popular game in the region. There are so many pleasures in the Judge Dee stories. Van Gulik was a great connoisseur of Tang Dynasty China and he brings this expertise to bear brilliantly in The Chinese Nail Murders.

The Chinese Nail Murders

The Kyiv Mysteries

"Ukraine's greatest living writer" The Times "Andrey Kurkov is often called Ukraine's greatest living writer, and it is a gift for crime fiction fans that he writes in this genre" New York Times Fresh from a case that has shattered his belief in the regime he works for, Samson Kolechko is confronted with a mystery that borders on the impossible. A troop of Red Army soldiers has disappeared without a trace while visiting the Halytska bathhouse, their abandoned boots and uniforms the only proof that they ever existed. Faced with such a fantastical conundrum, Samson must resort to a fantastical investigation method: stitching his operative severed ear into a bathhouse worker's jacket, he is able to eavesdrop on his every move. But he discovers far more than he bargained for, and matters are further complicated by the human remains found in the stoves and the presence of a sinister religious cult in the city. With his quick-witted new wife Nadezhda at his side, Samson must not only solve the case but navigate the political turmoil that still grips Kyiv as civil war looms and trust between neighbours and comrades is eroded day by day. In the third of his Kyiv Mysteries, Andrey Kurkov, Ukraine's greatest living novelist, vividly depicts a city filled with political turbulence and eccentric characters - and draws ominous parallels with the present day. Translated from the Russian by Boris Dralyuk

The Lost Soldiers

A forgotten Golden Age classic, set aboard a luxury transatlantic cruise liner - the perfect holiday read! 'Unusually puzzling ... highly enthralling' New York Times The lights go off aboard the luxury transatlantic cruise liner, Meganaut, as it makes its way from New York to Paris. In the darkness, a gunshot rings out. And when the light is restored, a man is found dead in the smoking room. But the situation becomes more complicated when the passengers realise that the deceased had apparently ingested cyanide just seconds before being shot. There are four psychiatrists aboard and they convince the captain to let them take a stab at solving the crime. Will their knowledge of the human psyche be a help or a hindrance? And can they figure out the puzzle's solution before the killer strikes again? 'Ingenious . . . a delightful Golden Age return.' Booklist

Obelists At Sea

Penguin Modern Classics

'A great comic vision, one of the few books of the world that can make us laugh aloud on nearly every page' - Anthony Burgess James Joyce's final work, Finnegans Wake, conjures up the dark underground worlds of sexuality and dream with supreme linguistic virtuosity. Here Joyce undermines traditional storytelling and the English language, and confronts the different kinds of betrayal - cultural, political and sexual - that he saw at the heart of Irish history. Dazzlingly inventive, with passages of great lyrical beauty and humour, Finnegans Wake remains one of the most remarkable works of the twentieth century. 'Here words are not the polite contortions of twentieth-century printer's ink. They are alive. They elbow their way on to the page, and glow and blaze and fade and disappear' Samuel Beckett With a new introduction by Brian Fox.

Finnegans Wake

These ten tales of murder, mystery and mayhem make for perfect beach reading - in the latest addition to a series that has sold over 250,000 copies.
