Deitch H: Killer Potential / B

Killer Potential

The hot, twisty, stay-up-all-night novel for fans of THE GUEST and MY SISTER THE SERIAL KILLER

LONGLISTED FOR THE AUTHORS' CLUB BEST FIRST NOVEL AWARD 'Beautiful and unflinching, Cloudless is a phenomenal debut' ANNA HOPE, author of Albion 'Attends to the bonds we have to family, landscape, global politics with uncommon attention, extraordinary depth and lightness of touch' ELIZABETH O'CONNOR, author of Whale Fall It is autumn 2004 and in a farmhouse on the hills outside Llandudno, Catrin and John endure the agonizing wait for their older son to return from Iraq. His decision to join up has left them reeling, yet there are other battles at home: the working of the land that has been theirs for generations and what to do with their troubled younger son. Catrin's childhood sweetheart comes back to their small town, forcing the boys' doting mother to confront the life she might have had. And John, desperate to keep farm and family together, turns to ever riskier methods to stay afloat. As each member of the family grasps at their own tenuous lifeline, they drift further from one another - until, on a cold winter evening, there is a fateful knock at the door. Written in luminous, exquisitely calibrated prose, Cloudless is a masterful portrayal of the fragility and resilience of human connection. 'Dastur writes with devastating compassion on what it means to be human' CATHERINE AIREY, author of Confessions 'Elegant and quietly devastating' MELISSA FU, author of Peach, Blossom, Spring 'A story about love and war, family and nation . . . Told with intelligence, sensitivity and a huge heart' PAUL McVEIGH, author of The Good Son

Cloudless

A wild, blackly funny, brilliantly twisty literary-crime novel, like an unholy coming together of Tana French and the Cohen brothers.

"One of the best crime novels of 2025"

The Savage, Noble Death of Babs Dionne

A REESE WITHERSPOON BOOK CLUB PICK | A LITHUB MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2025 The astounding and expansive coming-of-age novel about a young woman whose quest to become the first Cherokee astronaut irrevocably alters the fates of the people she loves most. 'Will break your heart and take you to the stars. I loved it.' Kiley Reid, bestselling author of Such a Fun Age 'A breathtaking debut about family, identity, and love across generations.' Reese Witherspoon 'A powerful story about the mixture of combativeness, compromise and love that forms the heart of a family.' Kaliane Bradley, bestselling author of The Ministry of Time Steph Harper is on the run. When she was five, her mother ran - with Steph and her younger sister in tow - from an abusive husband into the arms of a small Cherokee community, where she hoped they might finally belong. But Steph soon sets her sights as far away as she can get, vowing that she will let nothing interfere with her dream to become an astronaut, and ultimately, to go to the moon. In Steph's certainty that only her ambition can save her, she will stretch her bonds with the three women who know and love her most dearly: her younger sister Kayla, an artist whose determination to appear good takes her life to unexpected places; her college girlfriend Della, who strives to reclaim her identity as an adult after being removed from her family as a young girl through a challenge to the Indian Child Welfare Act; and her mother Hannah, who has held up her family's history as a beacon of inspiration to her kids, all the while keeping the truth about her own past a secret. Told through these women's interwoven lives, and spanning three decades and several continents, To the Moon and Back is an astounding and expansive coming-of-age novel of mothers and daughters, love and sacrifice, alienation and heartbreak, terror and wonder. At its core, it is the story of the extraordinary lengths one woman will go to find a little space for herself. Praise for To The Moon and Back A singular, sonorous, wholehearted novel, one I wanted to devour and savour at once.' Claire Lombardo, bestselling author of The Most Fun We Ever Had 'A brilliant, faceted, warm-hearted novel, with characters to love and truly root for, and pages that seem to turn themselves.' Sarah Thankam Mathews, author of the National Book Award Finalist All This Could Be Different 'A captivating debut about family, queer identity, love, career and heritage. This novel has something for everyone.' De'Shawn Charles Winslow, author of In West Mills 'A soaring masterpiece... Every character in this novel will stay with you forever. I love this book.' Casey Plett, author of A Dream of a Woman 'A passionate and compulsively readable novel. Dare I say, a stellar debut.' Margot Livesey, author of The Road to Belhaven

Angel

From the author of the groundbreaking exposé Gomorrah comes a book that encourages and challenges the people to stand up for themselves and to not be fooled by the coercive nature of political power. Featuring short biographical sketches of a surprising mix of admired and deplored figures and works from history, this is a book that demands of readers to open one’s eyes and be outraged. The iconic Italian author Roberto Saviano’s latest work of nonfiction is an urgent cry for people to stand up for themselves and the things they believe in, featuring those who have most inspired him—Russian poet Anna Akhmatova, Martin Luther King Jr., the Calipygian Venus, immortalized in marble—alongside those whose actions were most deplorable—Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels and Rwandan radio host Kantano Habimana, who encouraged the 1993-’94 genocide there. Saviano quotes the Italian author and Auschwitz survivor Primo Levi: “I write what I wouldn’t be able to tell anyone.” Saviano, like Levi, embraces his readers within a similar protective halo of intimacy, taking us in his arms to warn us. Other lives and works that Saviano evokes in Shout It Out! are Hypatia, the murdered Alexandrian philosopher, mathematician and astronomer; political theorist Carl Schmitt; trailblazing Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya; Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi; NSA Whistleblower Edward Snowden; 16th century astrology and alchemist Giordano Bruno, burned at the stake by the Inquisition in 1600; Russian poet Anna Akhmatova who chose silence rather than collaboration; Émile Zola; the Brothers Grimm; Martin Luther King; murdered anti-corruption activist Daphne Caruana Galizia; the ancient roman statue of the Callipygian Venus; Terry Bollea (Hulk Hogan); American actress Jean Seberg; Italian filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini; Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels; Rwandan radio host Kantano Habimana; Settimia Spizzichino, one of 50 from the Rome ghetto sent to Auschwitz, and the only survivor; Chinese poet and factory worker Lizhi Xu; Italian-American saint Sister Francesca Saverio Cabrini; Italian architect and London fire victim Gloria Trevisan; George Floyd. Shout It Out dives into world history—and Roberto Saviano’s mind—in a way that constantly surprises.
