Weir Alison: The Boleyn Secret / LF

The Boleyn Secret

the spellbinding new Tudor novel by the Sunday Times bestselling author

'A riotous adventure, populated by a cast of vivid, glittering characters' JENNIFER SAINT on Psyche and Eros 'A romance that will stay with its reader long after the final word is read' LAUREN J.A. BEAR Daughters. Warriors. Lovers. "There is the love that is thrust upon us, and love that we choose. Run after the latter, no matter what gods and men say, and never let it go. Or at least, never let yourself look back." Medea, born to the goddess Hekate and wicked King Aeetes, endures a lonely and trapped life on the island of Colchis. Yet as she grows, so do her powerful talents of witchcraft and magic. When Jason, Prince of Iolcus, and his band of Argonauts arrive on the island, Medea knows it is her one chance to escape. If she helps Jason steal the Golden Fleece from her father, he promises to marry her and take her back to his kingdom. Atalanta, raised by bears, is a warrior caught between the wilderness and the human world, but never fully part of either. After the sudden disappearance of the woman she loves, Atalanta joins the Argonauts in an attempt to find her. But when Medea joins the ship, the sorceress awakens something in Atalanta that she cannot ignore - something more dangerous than she could ever have imagined. As the ship sets sail, Medea and Atalanta will be forced to choose between the life they always wished for, and a love they secretly desire - but in a world ruled by men, it might just destroy them...

Don't miss the next stunning, exciting and hotly-anticipated feminist retelling of one of the greatest love stories in Greek mythology, Jason and the Argonauts, but for the first time told from Atalanta and Medea's perspective.

The page-turning and atmospheric Greek mythology retelling you don’t want to miss!

The Witch and the Huntress

'As much a social satire as it is a crime caper . . . nothing short of marvellous' i NEWS 'Addictive, provocative, and utterly fresh' RIZ AHMED 'Succession meets Seven in this fine, multi-layered thriller' MAIL ON SUNDAY 'A propulsive thriller with an enjoyable side order of social satire' GUARDIAN 'Full of unhinged characters, this is a gripping tale of power, drama and toxic relationships' WOMAN'S OWN 'What lingers longest in the memory is the silky fluency of the writing and Ahmad's feel for boundless wealth' THE TIMES 'The epitome of a page-turner . . . a gripping tale of murder, mystery and family dynamics, set against the glittering backdrop of NYC' PA MEDIA Good-natured but naïve, Mumbai party boy Ali Azeem is drifting through life. Then he meets the Khan sisters: pretty, marriage-material Maryam and sexy, unpredictable, off-the-rails Farhan. They are the daughters of Abbas Khan, the formidable immigrant patriarch of a glittering property empire, who has succeeded in making New York City his playground. Ali finds himself drawn deeper and deeper into the Khan family's seductive world of private jets and towering skyscrapers. He begins to uncover rumours of affairs, accusations of corruption - and a troubling connection to the serial killer who once stalked the streets of Manhattan. As he closes in on the truth and learns the cost of the Khans' unattainable wealth and power, Ali must decide: is it a price worth paying? A caper, social satire, and propulsive thriller rolled into one, A Killer in the Family is a wild ride through the streets of Mumbai and New York City. Told in an electric, unforgettable voice, it probes the dark underbelly of the American Dream - leading its reader through a dizzying maze of lies, corruption and murder.

Hart Studies in Private Law

This book provides a ground-breaking new conceptualisation and complete account of the 'Mere Equity': it charts the development of 'transformative' proprietary remedies in English Law. It sets out a conceptual framework by which to understand those transformative remedies that create equitable proprietary rights rooted in the concept of decisional-control. This allows the work to illustrate how power(s) to create an equitable interest are exercised by courts within a framework of doctrinal rules stipulating when, how, and to what end such power(s) may be exercised. This is a complex field of private law, in much need of clarification, and scholars of private law will welcome this work.

Understanding Transformative Proprietary Remedies in English Private Law

A selection of the best classic crime stories featuring the much-loved rogue, Raffles 'Why should I work when I could steal? Why settle down to some humdrum uncongenial billet, when excitement, romance, danger, and a decent living were all going begging together? Of course, it's very wrong, but we can't all be moralists' Dashing man about town, first-class cricketer and master burglar: Raffles is the ultimate gentleman thief. Here we find the debonair rogue cracking a jeweller's safe on Bond Street, stealing from the nouveau riche, spiriting away a priceless pearl, outwitting the law at every turn - and, of course, bowling like a demon - all with the assistance of his plucky sidekick Bunny Manders. This new selection of Ernest Hornung's much-loved crime stories is taken from his three Raffles collections, The Amateur Cracksman, The Black Mask and A Thief in the Night.

Raffles, Gentleman Thief

From the bestselling author of Meetings With Remarkable Manuscripts, a captivating account of the last surviving relic of Thomas Becket The assassination of Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral on 29 December 1170 is one of the most famous events in European history. It inspired the largest pilgrim site in medieval Europe and many works of literature from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales to T. S. Eliot's Murder in the Cathedral and Anouilh's Becket. In a brilliant piece of historical detective work, Christopher de Hamel here identifies the only surviving relic from Becket's shrine: the Anglo-Saxon Psalter which he cherished throughout his time as Archbishop of Canterbury, and which he may even have been holding when he was murdered. Beautifully illustrated and published to coincide with the 850th anniversary of the death of Thomas Becket, this is an exciting rediscovery of one of the most evocative artefacts of medieval England.
