Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: NYC vs. TMNT

The Golden Egg (part 2)

Tommy Somebody

A thoroughly enjoyable mystery story with all the tropes and pleasures of a golden age detective story' Observer 'A glamorous recipe of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Agatha Christie' Paula Sutton 'Imbued with luxury and lurking danger' S.J. Bennett 'Murderously fun' Jessica Bull 1922: You are cordially invited to summer at the Gatsby Mansion in West Egg, with the most illustrious - and the deadliest - guest list. Freshly twenty-one and sporting a daring new bob, Greta Gatsby - younger sister to the infamous Jay - is finally free of finishing school. An idyllic summer stretches ahead of her at the Gatsby Mansion, the jewel of West Egg. But when Greta arrives at the secluded white-stone estate bathed in the late-afternoon light, she finds she isn't the only visitor. Jay is hosting an intimate gathering of New York's fashionable set: Daisy and Tom Buchanan, along with his brother Edgar, Nick Carraway and Jordan Baker. That evening, the guests enjoy a candelabra-lit dinner party. That night, they dance to the lilt of the gramophone. The next morning, one of them is missing. Murder has come to West Egg, the warm breeze tainted by scandal, betrayal and secrets. Turning sleuth isn't how Greta meant to spend her summer - but what choice does she have when one of them could be next? The gilded opulence of the Roaring Twenties. A murder that scandalises high society. And a clever young woman of unusual persistence . . . A deliciously unputdownable whodunnit perfect for fans of The Christie Affair and Miss Austen Investigates. 'Compelling and bursting with 1920s flair, this new twist on the iconic tale will delight newcomers and old fans alike' CE McGill, author of Our Hideous Progeny 'Absolutely devoured this glorious romp of a novel. The Gatsby Gambit is pure escapist fun - a pacy, clever, witty mystery that I galloped through with sheer delight' Naomi Kelsey, author of The Burnings 'A glamour-filled, thrilling read that kept me guessing to the end! It was such a treat to be back in the world of Gatsby!' Kate Weston, author of You May Now Kill the Bride 'Claire Anderson-Wheeler brilliantly intertwines the allure of the Jazz Age with a gripping murder mystery in The Gatsby Gambit. A dazzling homage to Fitzgerald's world, this novel captivates from the first page to the last' Joanna Wallace, author of You'd Look Better as a Ghost 'Lively, smart, and fun . . . As charming as Daisy Buchanan herself' Flynn Berry, author of Northern Spy 'With a fiercely defiant female lead and secrets as sharp as the prose, The Gatsby Gambit oozes glamour and intrigue. I loved this bold take on a beloved classic' Trisha Sakhlecha, author of The Inheritance

A completely unputdownable golden age murder mystery

The Gatsby Gambit

Some holes can't be filled. Some evils can't be explained.
Mick Enderson walks among us, a man hiding in plain sight, chasing a feeling he can't name and a hunger he can't silence. Whispers of vanished lives shadow his every step, while a sinister presence lingers at the edge of his conscience, urging him deeper into the dark.
As bodies disappear and fear grows, a relentless detective and a conflicted priest find themselves drawn into a chilling cat-and-mouse pursuit, each step revealing uncomfortable truths about the nature of evil, and the thin line that separates salvation from damnation.
A psychological thriller soaked in dread and moral ambiguity, this is not a story about justice. It's a story about what we refuse to see, until it's far too late.

Deep Cuts

“Insanely big-hearted.” —The Washington Post “Electric.” —The New York Times “Tender, immersive, and thrilling." —Gabrielle Zevin, author of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow "One of the best novels I’ve ever read about friendship.” —Stephen King, #1 bestselling author In this story of intense friendship and grit, two down-and-out teens escape their lives and chase a different future through rock-climbing -- from the New York Times bestselling author of My Absolute Darling. Dan and Tamma are two teenagers in their last year of high school in the southern Mojave Desert. One is a gifted golden child, the other a mouthy burnout. Climbing boulders in trash-strewn parking lots during cold desert nights, they seal their unique bond and dream of a life of adventure. As the year progresses and adult reality looms, they are rocked by change and pulled apart by irreconcilable obligations. Differences of class, talent, and prospects take on new importance; options dwindle, and their decisions grow ever more consequential and perilous. It feels inevitable, finally, that something must give. With a magnificent gift for nature writing and a joyful appreciation for the redemptive power of friendship, Gabriel Tallent gives readers a rollicking, adrenaline-filled, and soul-searching novel about risking everything to change your life.

A Novel

Crux

An adoptive parent and historian delves into the differences of families made by law, not biology-- and shows us the deep value of those differences Adoption touches on some of our most vexing social questions, about race and sexuality, abortion rights, economic inequality, even foreign policy and global poverty. More than that, it prods us in tender places, reminding us of our own questions about belonging and separation, identity and alienation, our worries about what is determined by fate and what is freely choose. Blending personal memoir, history, and broader reflection on American culture, Ordinary Days and Tender Places offers a fresh take on adoption. As an historian and an adoptive parent, Bendroth takes seriously the criticisms and the personal pain many adoptees face, but she also invites readers to take a bigger view. This book asks us to turn the mirror on ourselves and consider the peculiarities of what we consider “normal” family life. In the end, our questions and controversies obscure a basic fact: raising children born to someone else is a time-honored human practice. In the past and in many cultures today, our modern American ideal, the two-parent biologically-related nuclear family, is an oddity. Within the long history of humanity our ideas about kinship and our beliefs about what constitutes a “normal” household are surprisingly narrow and, in the end, not all that helpful. Bendroth introduces readers to new ways of thinking about adoption, exploring the history of American families and children as well as fascinating findings by biologists and evolutionary anthropologists about kinship practices, genetics and inheritance, even motherhood itself. This is, in other words, a book about adoption and much more. It is an invitation to readers to reflect on their own lives, to think deeply about our human need to connect, to love, and belong.
