Lawton J: Smoke and Embers

Smoke and Embers

The Kyiv Mysteries

Samson Kolechko has been assigned a most perplexing case - though it is mostly perplexing because it's hard to understand why selling the meat of one's own pig constitutes a crime. But apparently it does, and at the insistence of the Chekist secret police officer assigned to "reinforce" the Lybid police station, Samson does his diligent - if diffident - best. Yet no sooner has he got started than his live-in fiancée Nadezhda is abducted by striking railway workers who object to the census she's carrying out. And when you factor in a mysterious thief in the police station itself, a deadly tram accident that may have been pre-meditated, and the potential reappearance of the culprit in the case of the silver bone, it's no wonder the "meat case" takes a back seat. But it is in the pursuit of that petty-fogging, seemingly mundane matter that Samson's fate lies - and Nadezhda's too, for the two are inextricably entwined. Translated from the Russian by Boris Drayluk Reviews for The Silver Bone - Longlisted for the International Booker Prize "Andrey Kurkov is often called Ukraine's greatest living writer, and it is a gift for crime fiction fans that he writes in this genre" New York Times "Wildly enjoyable . . . A glorious aural portrait of a city in dangerous flux . . . I finished The Silver Bone wishing to read more" Guardian

The Stolen Heart

Harker & Moriarty

Monsters are rising in Ireland and the only ones who can stop them are two women who might be more dangerous than the beasts they fight... Samantha Harker and Dr. Helena Moriarty might have solved the Paris case, but that doesn't mean the Royal Society for the Study of Abnormal Phenomena trusts them. Sam's power to see into the minds of monsters is a slippery slope to corruption. Worse, Hel's uncanny habit of turning up wherever her notorious father's hand is felt has the Society questioning whether he exists at all or whether it's been Hel all along. So when Special Branch requests aid in Ireland, the heart of Professor Moriarty's hidden empire, they send another agent to monitor them: Van Helsing, who is perpetually suspicious of Sam and a bit of an arse. Their investigation takes them from ancient ruins to the clandestine clubs of the rich and powerful, untangling the mysteries of magic, monsters, and men. But even as Sam and Hel fall deeper into each other's orbit, the secrets between them multiply. Things Hel can't bear to confess; things Sam doesn't dare confide. Things which not only put Sam in terrible danger from Van Helsing, but leave her haunted by death omens, mysterious black feathers, and a song no one else can seem to hear. And, as ever, Professor Moriarty lurks in the shadows, waiting to make his next move . . . Readers LOVE the Harker and Moriarty series 'This was a gripping read, I thought the characters were intriguing and I'm going to keep an eye out for more from this author' 'Such a unique story and fabulous characters. Everyone please read this asap' 'Okay I loved it. I'm such a sucker for anything Sherlock Holmes and Dracula. This was so well written and just adored the characters' 'I am speechless! One of my favourite books of the year, and I swear if this isn't the first book in a series I may go feral!' 'Think Sherlock Holmes x Fantastic Beasts x Supernatural with a sprinkle of Van Helsing ... I loved this book!' 'The perfect book for anyone who loves a puzzley mystery, badass ladies, and a dark atmosphere' 'The perfect mix of murder mystery, gothic horror, fantasy and historical fiction'

The lusciously atmospheric sequel to supernatural gaslamp mystery set in the worlds of Dracula and Sherlock Holmes

Bloomsbury Studies on Cuba

This book by Paolo Spadoni and José Luis Perelló Cabrera examines the history of tourism in Cuba and the expansion and struggles of international tourism in Cuba in the post-Cold War era. The Cuban Tourism Industry: Evolution, Challenges, and Prospects begins with a historical review of the development of tourism as an important industry in pre-1959 Cuba and the subsequent decline in the first fifteen years of the revolution before a modest recovery in the second half of the 1970s and during the 1980s. Spadoni and Cabrera continue with a thorough analysis of the remarkable expansion of international tourism in Cuba in the post-Cold War era and in the era of improved relations with the United States that officially began in 2014, along with an assessment of the sector's economic impact and its main challenges. A critical assessment of the damaging effects on the Cuban tourism sector of stiffened U.S. sanctions imposed by the Trump administration, and largely maintained by the Biden administration, is also provided. This book examines tourism trends in Cuba and the Caribbean in the post-pandemic era and sheds additional light on Cuba's recent tourism performance to underscore key flaws of the Cuban tourism industry and suggest potential adjustments.

Orphan X

No greater friend. No deadlier enemy. The explosive new novel in the New York Times bestselling Orphan X series is flipping the acclaimed series on its head. Find out why series superfans and new readers alike are calling it a "knockout" (firstCLUE). Evan Smoak is a highly trained former government assassin who has survived for years by keeping his circle to a few trusted confidants and a strict code he calls "The Ten Commandments." But when Evan suddenly finds himself at odds with his oldest friend, all the rules he lives by shatter-and the consequences are murderous. Tommy Stojack might be Evan's best friend in the world. He's a gifted gunsmith who has created much of Evan's own weapons and combat gear. But now, he has apparently crossed one of Evan's hardest lines and their argument explodes into open warfare. Now Evan has no choice but to track and face down his only friend. In the meantime, Tommy has left town in order to honor his own promise to help a dead friend's son. While Tommy is fighting to save the son with everything he's got, Evan arrives with vengeance in mind. But as deadly as the former Orphan X is, there is an even more dangerous threat about to arrive on the scene. The only question left is will any of them get out alive.

Kriegskindheiten im besetzten Belarus 1941-1944

If Guy Ritchie directed a James Bond caper starring a queer 007, it might look something like this hilarious and action-packed spy thriller by Paul Rudnick, acclaimed screenwriter and author of Farrell Covington and the Limits of Style, that blends espionage and social commentary with an elite society of gay secret agents. They are fierce patriots. They are licensed to kill. And they are really, really gay. Welcome to democracy’s secret weapon, the Tuxedo Society. When Andrew Birnbaum, a struggling actor making ends meet by working in a candle shop, gets invited to have dinner with the exclusive Tuxedo Society by his best friend, Brock, his life takes an unexpected turn. What seems like a group of wealthy socialites gathering for gossip and cocktails quickly spirals into a world of espionage, danger, and hilarity. Andrew soon meets Reggie O’Malley, a Navy SEAL with a penchant for black tie, who recruits Andrew to join the society’s covert mission to protect national security. Armed with gadgets like an inflatable life raft backpack, a yoga mat that doubles as an assault rifle, and, of course, an AMEX Black Card, Andrew quickly finds himself tackling spies, thwarting assassinations, and facing a host of unexpected threats in settings from the White House to the Vatican to the Summer Olympic Games. The stakes escalate when Andrew and his comrades are sent on a jet-setting mission to uncover the truth about an ancient artifact. Along the way, they clash with oligarchs, crooked senators, and a smarmy televangelist with sinister plans for world domination. Packed with Paul Rudnick’s signature wit, The Tuxedo Society is a wild ride through decadence, danger, and unexpected heroism, as Andrew discovers that saving the world might just be the role he’s been waiting for.

The Pact

Jüdische Kulturgeschichte in der Moderne

Die nationalsozialistische Verfolgung bedrohte die deutschen Jüdinnen und Juden in sich steigernden Formen, durch soziale, kulturelle und ökonomische Ausgrenzung, Emigration oder Zwangsumsiedlung, Zwangsarbeit, Deportation und Konzentrationslager. Auch ihre Erfahrung von Raum und Zeit veränderte sich dadurch tiefgreifend. Jüdinnen und Juden waren mit einer immer stärkeren Einengung des Lebens, einem Mangel an Möglichkeiten, ihre Zeit zu planen und zu gestalten, und den Schwierigkeiten des Wartens auf das Unbekannte konfrontiert. Wie gingen sie mit dem Ausschluss aus der Öffentlichkeit um? Wie wurde ihr Gemeinschaftsleben neu organisiert und welche Veränderungen fanden im Privaten statt? Wie wirkte sich ihre zunehmende Not auf die Art und Weise aus, wie sie den Lauf der Zeit erlebten?Ausgehend von privaten Zeugnissen (Tagebücher, Korrespondenzen und Memoiren) und öffentlichen Quellen (jüdische Zeitungen und Zeitschriften) rekonstruiert und analysiert Guy Miron den gelebten Raum und die gelebte Zeit während der NS-Verfolgung. So bietet sich ein neuer Blick auf das Leben der deutschen Jüdinnen und Juden im Nationalsozialismus. Miron zeigt, welche Strategien und Praktiken sie entwickelten, um mit der neuen Realität fertig zu werden, um mit dem immer kleiner werdenden Zugang zum öffentlichen Raum umzugehen und im Gegenzug den traditionellen jüdischen Raum gewissermaßen neu zu erfinden, neue Interpretationen der Vergangenheit zu schaffen und ihre Haltung gegenüber ihrer deutschen Identität zu überdenken.Die sich dabei zugleich entwickelnden jüdischen Raum- und Zeiterfahrungen bestimmten die existenziellen Horizonte und die Alltagspraxis der jüdischen Gemeinschaft. Ihre Praktiken brachten dabei, wie Miron zeigt, die kontinuierliche Bindung der deutschen Jüdinnen und Juden an Schlüsselelemente des deutschen bürgerlichen Habitus als auch ihren Kampf um die Aufrechterhaltung jüdischer Handlungsfähigkeit und eines jüdischen Widerstands unter der nationalsozialistischen Verfolgung zum Ausdruck.

A forceful wonder' The Times, Historical Fiction Book of the Month 'A gripping, gorgeous story of faith and feminism... A rapturous read' Daily Mail 'A spectacular story of shape-shifting, love and faith . . . It enthralled me' Jessie Burton, author of The Miniaturist 'Astonishing . . . a scorching vision of a book' Charlotte Wood, Booker-shortlisted author of Stone Yard Devotional 'A fierce, sexy, heady maelstrom of a book. It sucked me in from the first page' Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Mercies The legend is only the beginning . . . Ninth-century Mainz, in the heart of the Holy Roman Empire. Agnes is the motherless child of an English priest - a wild and brilliant girl with a deep, visceral love of God. But when tragedy strikes, she is suddenly forced to choose between what is expected of her and the life she has always dreamed of. Determined to find her own freedom, she disguises herself as a man, securing a place at the revered Fulda monastery and forever altering the course of her existence. Thus begins the life of John the Englishman: a matchless scholar and scribe of Fulda, then a charismatic heretic in an Athens commune and, by her middle years, a celebrated teacher in Rome. There, she dazzles the Church hierarchy with her knowledge of the old and new languages of Europe, theology and Church law, and finds herself at the heart of political intrigue in a city where gossip is a powerful - and deadly - currency. And when the only person who knows her identity arrives in Rome, she will risk everything to once again feel what it is to be known - and loved.
