Men

The Law of the Four Just Men

A stunning collection of short stories capturing the lives of nine Nigerian women, each very different, each determined to fight for themselves.

Meet Ifeoma. She's been ready to leave her violent husband for some time, but her plans for a quiet departure take an unexpectedly gruesome turn...

Nkechi, a housemaid for a rich Lagos family, bears the weight of her Madam's wrath when she discovers her husband's dark secret.

In London, Riliwa meets&nbsp;Mary,&nbsp;a guardian angel full of advice, wisdom and practical support as she navigates her unfamiliar new home. But it soon becomes clear that Mary's kindness comes at a price.

Passionate, raw, full of heart and humour, these are stories about women who will not be broken by the challenges life puts in their way.

'Wow!&nbsp;I thought this collection was&nbsp;breathtaking. It packs such an emotional punch.' Jessica George, author of Maame

Shortlisted for the Jhalak Prize 2026

Hail Mary

'A writer to keep a close eye on' The New York Times 'Quiet and beautifully written, Discipline plays masterfully' Buzz Magazine When two people fall apart, who gets to tell their story? Christine is a young writer touring her debut novel - a thinly disguised tale of the affair she had with her professor ten years earlier. He was magnetic, domineering, both the sponsor of her early promise and its destroyer. But he surely forgot her long ago, and the temptation to exorcise her past was overwhelming. Then, between hotel rooms and bookstores, formal dinners and road-trip hook-ups, she receives a series of sly, unsettling emails and finally an invitation to visit the professor's isolated house on an island off the coast of Maine. Against her better judgement, Christine is drawn back into his orbit, risking forever losing control of the narrative she's worked so hard to create. Taut and provocative, Discipline walks the lines between creativity and control, truth and memory, coercion and desire. READER REVIEWS: 'If you enjoyed Outline by Rachel Cusk or Mona by Pola Oloixarac, I think you will really like Discipline' 'The best book I read in 2025' 'Pham's writing completely held me. Each page left me wanting more' 'A provocative and intriguing debut, masterfully executed' 'Discipline is a storm on the horizon, a prismatic and haunting story'

No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency

Book 27 in the multi-million copy bestselling and perennially adored No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series"I am a fortunate woman to have such an eventful life," observes Mma Ramotswe of the No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. Perhaps, but there are times when rather too much seems to be happening, and a quieter life might seem rather attractive. This latest despatch from Botswana is certainly full of events, even if it starts with a leisurely trip to buy a pair of shoes as a birthday present for Mr J.L.B. Matekoni. As often happens in Mma Ramotswe's world, one thing leads to another, and we are soon caught up in an ill-thought-out plan hatched by Charlie, junior mechanic and enthusiastic trainee detective. Charlie has met up with two rising stars of the local musical world - jazz players known to their public as Lion and Leopard. He is keen to plan a big event with them, even though Mma Makutsi sees nothing but disaster ahead. Mma Ramotswe would like to keep an eye on the situation, but she has to go up north, to the wilds of the Okavango Delta, where her friends at an elephant sanctuary are battling with a campaign being waged against them. Mma Ramotswe's help is needed, and, of course, is given with all the generosity of spirit that illuminates the character of this most beloved of lady detectives. A happy ending? Of course.

ALISON ESPACH, author of The Wedding People'One of the most delightful debuts I've read in a long time.' The New York TimesA man and a woman walk into a restaurant. The woman hopes they will order the best wine on the menu. Instead, her husband tells her he is having an affair with a woman called Maggie.When her chest starts to ache, the woman goes to a doctor who tells her the pain in her breast isn't just heartbreak - but - cancer.

A BBC Radio 2 Book Club Pick 'A brilliantly clever tale about time travel gone wrong. Bold, convincing and beautifully told - I could not put this book down' - CLARE LESLIE HALL 'So impressive. It made me see London in a completely new way and brought the Blitz to life. Incredibly clever - I loved it' - HARRIET TYCE 'Ellery Lloyd is one of my favourite writers. Time to Burn is a riveting time traveler thriller packed with rollicking action and epic imagination - and a smart, satirical heart' - ABIGAIL DEAN From the author of The Club, a Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick, Time to Burn is Ellery Lloyd's compelling time travel thriller. If the past catches up with you, time travel can be murder . . . London, the present day: commercial time travel is a reality. Tempus Tours - owned by controversial tech entrepreneur Inigo Frank - offers the wealthy a chance to witness pivotal moments in history. To immortalise his achievement, Frank enlists award-winning filmmaker Phoebe Hunt to create a fly-on-the-wall documentary. On her first day shadowing Inigo, she is set to witness the return of a billionaire property developer and his family from their trip to the past. But instead of their awe-filled return, she captures the group arriving bloodied and traumatized, with one of their number missing. Not only that, but Phoebe recognizes the missing woman. She knows not only that she's not who she claims to be, but that the woman has every reason to harbor a grudge against her. And as events begin to unravel in the present day, it seems increasingly clear that the woman had sinister motives for returning to the past - and that people close to Phoebe are in danger. Can Phoebe stop the ripple effect before she loses everything - and everyone - she holds dear? * * * 'Absolutely thrilling. Mind bending and totally immersive. It takes the idea of time travel to new and exciting heights. Ingenious!' - JOHN MARRS 'A mesmerizing time-hopping mystery around the question: what if time travel is possible, but only for the uber-rich? Time to Burn offers twists and turns galore, a true delight to the last page!' - KATE QUINN

Time to Burn

Anna Brenner bucht die Wohnung für drei Monate. Vier Quadratmeter Terrasse, zwei Plastikstühle, Meerblick. Eigentlich wollte sie nur weg - aus Zürich, aus der Ehe, aus einer Erschöpfung, die sich nicht benennen ließ.

Vor der Haustür sitzt ein Hund. Er heißt Brio, ist alt, und weicht nicht.

Sein Besitzer ist Luca Ferretti, Fischhändler, verwitwet seit zwei Jahren. Er braucht nicht viele Sätze. Die, die er sagt, meint er.

Vernazza ist ein Dorf, in dem nichts vergessen wird: Die Boote tragen die Namen der Toten. Die Häuser stehen, wo sie immer standen. Und ein Hund weiß genau, wo er schläft.

Anna hatte geplant zurückzugehen. Dann rief Zürich an, und sie sagte zu. Dann rief Vernazza zurück - nicht laut, nicht dramatisch. Einfach: da.

*Das Meer vergisst nichts* ist eine Liebesgeschichte ohne Pathos. Über zwei Menschen, die sich nicht suchen. Über einen Hund, der weiß, was er tut. Und über die Frage, ob ein Leben, das man nicht geplant hat, trotzdem das richtige sein kann.

Das Meer vergisst nichts

Dream Valley Reihe

Wahre Liebe folgt keinem Plan

Schicksalshafte Begegnungen über Leben und Tod hinaus

Wenn Seelen sich wiedererkennen

Blumen sind im Laufe der Jahrhunderte zu Metaphern geworden: Rote Rosen stehen für Liebe, weiße Blumen symbolisieren Reinheit und Trauer, gelbe Blüten Freundschaft und Rosa Zärtlichkeit. Gerbera bedeuten Lebensfreude, Chrysanthemen Dankbarkeit und Vergissmeinnicht Treue. Sie sind mehr als nur Blumen - die Erwähnung einer jeden Pflanze öffnet auch ein Spek­trum an Emotionen und Assoziationen. Das vorliegende Buch ist ein literarisches Herbarium. Jeder Text kann als feinfühlige Kartografie innerer und äußerer Naturen verstanden werden. Möglicherweise offenbart es sich als kleine, aber feine Textsammlung, die verschiedene Essenzen menschlicher Erfahrung aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven präsentiert.

Ein literarisches Herbarium

True Love: Und darüber hinaus

Manchmal muss Liebe durch die Dunkelheit gehen, um wieder ans Licht zu finden.
Taylor Colter erinnert sich endlich an River, den Mann, den sie einst mehr liebte als ihr
eigenes Leben. Doch er ist zu jemandem geworden, den sie verabscheut: dem König der
Unterwelt. Ein Mann aus Schatten, gefährlich, und doch der Einzige, der ihr Herz zum
Schlagen bringt.
Während Logan Black gnadenlos Jagd auf sie macht, findet Taylor Zuflucht in Rivers
Nähe. Mit jeder Erinnerung wächst ihre Liebe und mit jeder Wahrheit die Gefahr. Ein
fehlendes Puzzleteil hält Antworten bereit, die alles verändern könnten.

Wahre Liebe endet nicht, wenn das Herz aufhört, zu schlagen. Sie beginnt dort, wo
Hoffnung unmöglich scheint.

True Love Und darüber hinaus

'A stunning debut' GUARDIAN 'A feast of gender-bending pleasures' THE BIG ISSUE She keeps her eyes on me while she lights the end of my cigarette. I stare back at her. Something in the pills and in her eyes is opening up my muscles like hands parting from prayer, like trees breathing. EROS is a stunning collection of short stories, grounded in truth and coloured with dazzling imagination and alluring, unpredictable mystery. Revealing how queerness, nature and myth have been intertwined for eternity, these are stories of gods and goddesses. Of Zeus, of Eurydice, of Hermaphroditus, of Icarus before he flew into the sun. Stories of queer life, lust, revenge, wrath, passion and sex. Of yearning, love, loss. Some transformations span across a life, and others, an evening. Perspectives will shift. Houses will burn. Lovers will learn their fate.Zoe Terakes has skilfully blended myth and modernity to illuminate the complex and enduring truth of trans lives, resisting a history of erasure and delivering a sexy, soul-touching book to read to your lover . . . or yourself. 'Transness is not an abnormality of nature but a necessity of it. You'll find that refrain woven into EROS's tapestry, stitched into the way characters dive into the ocean, like they are returning to it' VOGUE
