Cox K: Party of Liars / B

Party of Liars

a gripping new debut psychological thriller with a gothic edge from an exciting new voice in fiction

Pre-order the latest book from the Booker Prize-winning author of Lincoln in the Bardo - a playful, wise, electric novel taking place at the bedside of an oil company CEO, in the twilight hours of his life, as he is ferried from this world into the next 'He will be read long after these times have passed' Zadie Smith Not for the first time, Jill "Doll" Blaine finds herself hurtling toward earth, reconstituting as she falls, right down to her favourite black pumps. She plummets towards her newest charge, yet another soul she must usher into the afterlife, and lands headfirst in the circular drive of his ornate mansion. She has performed this sacred duty three hundred and forty-three times since her own death. Her charges, as a rule, have been greatly comforted in their final moments. But this charge, she soon discovers, isn't like the others: The powerful K.J. Boone will not be consoled, because he has nothing to regret. He lived a big, bold life, and the world is better for it. Isn't it? Vigil transports us, careening, through the wild final evening of an epic, complicated life. Crowds of people and animals - worldly and otherworldly, alive and dead - arrive, clamouring for a reckoning. Birds swarm the dying man's room, a black calf grazes on the loveseat, a man from a distant drought-ravaged village materialises, two oil-business cronies from decades past show up with chilling plans for Boone's post-death future. With the acuity and explosive imagination we've come to expect, George Saunders takes on the gravest issues of our time - the menace of corporate greed, the toll of capitalism, the environmental perils of progress - and, in the process, spins a tale that encompasses life and death, good and evil, and the thorny question of absolution.

Vigil

As an Irish-American family gathers for Thanksgiving weekend at their home on Long Island, they must confront the decades-old tragedy that haunts them all.

Code Noir

"Deon Meyer is one of the unsung masters."--Michael Connelly "Deon Meyer's name on the cover is a guarantee of crime writing at its best."--Tess Gerritsen In a corrupt South Africa, the criminals are as likely to be in government--or even in the police--as on the streets. Two decorated detectives must put their careers on the line to find the link between three seemingly-unrelated homicides in the latest thriller in the #1 internationally bestselling series Detectives Benny Griessel and Vaughn Cupido are languishing in Stellenbosch. Run-of-the-mill police work in the leafy university town is a far cry from their previous life in Cape Town fighting crime and government corruption at the highest level. Then a student is found dead on a mountain trail, and the key suspect, a local businessman, is found murdered in what looks like a professional hit delivering a message--suffocated by fast-action filler foam sprayed down his throat. On the other side of the country, a beautiful wildlife guide is recruited by a group of special forces soldiers to act as a honeytrap, part of a dangerous multi-million-dollar heist that goes tragically wrong. A single link connects the murdered businessman to the special forces, making Benny and Vaughn's case all the more mysterious. Another former soldier is soon killed, as is an agent of the country's disgraced former president; and then the heist crew reorganizes with an even more audacious theft in mind. Following leads as they fly at them, not sure exactly who to trust and struggling to connect the dots as the motives don't seem to add up, Benny and Vaughn find their case increasingly points to the corruption polluting the country. They know the clock is ticking--and Benny also has to be at the altar on time for his anxiously-anticipated wedding day.

Slags

"The answer is to become shameless," she concluded. "How can you shame a shameless woman?" BRIDGET JONES MEETS KARL MARX 'A one-woman literary-political movement' INDEPENDENT 'Kandasamy's work becomes more bold and exciting with each new book' SKINNY 'There has never been a book quite like this' IRISH TIMES Amrita has a past. In London, she goes by Amy - the cool girl who's woker than you - but spends most days gallivanting with the other Little India rich kids. Until an AI porno of her 'forwarded many times' by meddling WhatsApp aunties suddenly appears everywhere for millions to view. Within a day, she's being publicly stoned in the digital town square by an anonymous operation of Hindu extremist incels. Together with her allies including her suitably poor and dark bestie, a fling nicknamed the Child Solider, and the insufferable trustafarian India, the unlikely trio take a page out of the Kardashian workbook and flip the script. Will it work, or has the bait unknowingly fed herself into the belly of an underground beast that will not rest until she, too, is below ground? How far are you actually willing to go for what you say you believe in? For readers of Fundamentally and I'M A FAN, Fieldwork as a Sex Object is a novel about having skin in the game, leaving no stone unthrown back at the incel manosphere and and its hand in the rise of fascism. -- 'Defies all expectations' BERNARDINE EVARISTO 'So so good. One of the best of the year' NIKESH SHUKLA 'Thank god for writing like this' MAX PORTER

A novel of incels, influencers and AK-47s from the Women's Prize-shortlisted author

Fieldwork as a Sex Object

Two lovers plot a daring heist in this atmospheric noir about fate and fortune on the fringes of the American dream.
Post-war Riverton has little to offer Richard, a mild-mannered loner working a dead-end job at Eddy &amp; Dowd Safe Deposit Company. When he meets Marlon, a smooth-talking confidence man, Richard finds his partner in crime. Passions ignite between the men, and together, they hatch a plan to rob the vault at Eddy &amp; Dowd-a once-in-a-lifetime score that will fund their escape to the Big City, where they can live and love as they desire.
Their plans are complicated by Gloria, a recent divorcée scheming her own route to wealth; Frank Todd, a disgraced ex-cop desperate to restore his reputation; and the paranoid Mr. Dowd, a tycoon scrambling to hold onto his crumbling empire. As Richard and Marlon race towards their destiny, reckless violence threatens both their plans and their devotion to each other.
Inspired by the iconic lexicon and unsparing storytelling of Raymond Chandler and Patricia Highsmith, The Longest Death weaves a twisted morality tale about what it means to love someone at any cost.

The Longest Death

“Highly entertaining. But it’s not just one book; it’s at least three in one, all of which are highly enjoyable. He plays cleverly with form and structure—not just as a gimmick but as a fundamental part of the story. Wolf Haas has mastered the rules of writing so completely that he can just as easily ignore them.”—Der SpiegelA clever, electrifying puzzle of a novel, inspired by MC Escher’s optical illusions, in which two mirrored plots —a man waiting for an electrician and a mafia informant entering witness protection— converge in a mind-blowing finale.Franz Escher is waiting for the electrician. His power outlet has a loose connection. To pass the time, he buries himself in a book about a Mafia key witness named Elio Russo. Elio is in jail, awaiting release. He has betrayed so many people that he fears for his life. Unable to sleep, he lies awake at night reading a book about a man named Franz Escher who's waiting for the electrician. His power outlet has a loose connection.In Short Circuit, a dazzling display of literary pyrotechnics styled after one of M. C. Escher’s impossible drawings, two different stories gradually intertwine to solve each other. It is a brilliant, inventive detective novel that becomes an electrifying show of sparks culminating in one final short circuit.
