Henry Porter: Enigma Girl

Enigma Girl

From a former spy comes an electrifying novel about the mystery, paranoia and ruthlessness of the secretive world of British espionage 'Spies and Other Gods places him in the top tier of today's spy writers' The Spectator 'Wonderfully entertaining' John Banville, author of Booker Prize-winning The Sea 'Wolff offers a subtler version of comic spy fiction that treats its characters as amusing, fascinating and sometimes poignant enigmas' Sunday Times 'Wolff is the new maestro' Simon Sebag Montefiore The Head of British Intelligence is having a bad day. Only six months off retirement and Sir William Rentoul is wondering if he'll make it that far, what with the sudden descent of a brain fog dense enough to turn every day into a series of small humiliations. To make matters worse, Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee - the body that oversees Sir William - has received an anonymous complaint from one of his officers. Sir William dimly recalls accepting that there should be a channel for whistleblowers, but he never expected that they would pick his most sensitive case, one involving an Iranian assassin and a trail of dead bodies, or that the person who turned up to poke their nose into his files should be a lowly parliamentary researcher named Aphra McQueen, who displays smarts, tenacity and rebelliousness in unsettling measures. Aphra seems to know more about the operation than she is letting on. What will she uncover? What is she really up to? And can she survive the unexpected events that will bounce her from London to Birmingham to Paris to Lausanne? 'Extraordinarily good' The Spectator 'A memorable voice in the genre' New York Times

An electrifying novel from a former spy set in the mysterious world of British espionage

Phryne Fisher

The indefatigable Miss Phryne Fisher returns to solve what may be her most puzzling murder. When Phryne Fisher is invited to Bendigo to witness the investiture of her old friend Lionel, who is being made a Bishop, her expectations of the solemn and dignified ceremony do not include a murder. Phryne is soon working with perspicacious local Constable Watson and eagle-eyed Inspector Mick Kelly to identify the perpetrator. It becomes quickly apparent the murder victim had been an overzealous deacon with a nose for trouble. Nobody seems very inclined to mourn his passing. Applying her quick wits and magnetic charm, Phryne and her expanding team of sleuths discover murky layers of church politics, social scandals and business scams and blackmail. Soon, various suspects begin to form a long list, all with excellent motives for killing the deacon. Could the murderer be his own wife? A visiting dignitary? The mysterious organist? The angelic Brookes? The unemployed teacher? And why is the Bishop's Court being burgled? Meanwhile the clock is ticking ... Will Phryne be able to bring to light the proof she needs before the killer strikes again or disappears completely?

At all levels, it is a blast' Torrey Peters, author of Detransition, Baby 'Brimming with acidic humour . . . perfect for fans of A Certain Hunger and Boy Parts.

Please, please, please turn me into a feminist anti-hero . . . A 32-year-old sex worker has just killed extremist political hopeful Meat Neck. Holed up in an off-the-grid cabin in the woods, she now has only two days, her wits and a high-speed internet connection to save her own life. Her best bet is to reach out to the wildly popular feminist investigative podcast Justice for Bimbos. In a hastily-typed series of emails, the newly-minted "Murder Bimbo" explains how she was recruited and then trained by a cabal of code-named US agents to take out Meat Neck. But, when she starts a new set of emails, this time addressed to her ex-girlfriend, we begin to realize that Murder Bimbo might not be the unsuspecting cog she claims to be. In a time where 'truth' is more flexible than ever before - who really is Murder Bimbo? And what will she do next?

The Poet's Game is a remarkably sophisticated, timely, and emotionally resonant portrait of a spy from a master of the genre.

The Poet's Game

In this delightfully funny and heartfelt new novel from the author of the “bittersweet page-turner” (The New York Times) The Last Book Party, an American woman travels to the English countryside when she discovers tickets her late mother had purchased for a murder mystery simulation in a small British town. When thirty-four-year-old Cath loses her mostly absentee mother, she is ambivalent. With days of quiet, unassuming routine in Buffalo, New York, Cath consciously avoids the impulsive, thrill-seeking lifestyle that her mother once led. But when she’s forced to go through her mother’s things one afternoon, Cath is perplexed to find tickets for an upcoming “murder week” in England’s Peak District: a whole town has come together to stage a fake murder mystery to attract tourism to their quaint hamlet. Baffled but helplessly intrigued by her mother’s secret purchase, Cath decides to go on the trip herself—and begins a journey she never could have anticipated. Teaming up with her two cottage-mates, both ardent mystery lovers—Wyatt Green, who works unhappily in his husband’s birding store, and Amity Clark, a divorced romance writer struggling with her novels—Cath sets about solving the “crime” and begins to unravel shocking truths about her mother along the way. Amidst a fling—or something more—with the handsome local maker of artisanal gin, Cath and her irresistible charming fellow sleuths will find this week of fake murder may help them face up to a very real crossroads in their own lives. “Full of intrigue and adventure, charm and heart” (Amy Poeppel, author of The Sweet Spot), Welcome to Murder Week is a fresh, inventive twist on the murder mystery and a touching portrayal of one daughter’s reckoning with grief, her past—and her own budding sense of adventure.
