Phase III (Avenue into the Abyss)

A Nora Carleton Legal Thriller

'The plot goes like a train . . . vivid and compelling' Ian Rankin

One chance to crack the case. A million ways to lose.

Federal prosecutor Nora Carleton has spent years building a case against a powerful New York mobster. She finally has a star witness whose testimony will lock the defendant away for good.

But the courtroom is an unpredictable place. While the killing of a disgraced former governor appears unconnected to the trial, the fallout from his death means a guilty verdict hangs in the balance. 

Desperate to stop the mobster walking free, Nora investigates the darker side of the city to find out how everything connects. The more she uncovers, the deeper the corruption runs. And Nora knows better than most that the truth is a fragile thing - especially in court.

Drawing on James Comey's thirty years in federal law enforcement, Central Park West is a fast-paced thriller, bursting with tension and authenticity - perfect for fans of John Grisham.

Central Park West

Dave Robicheaux

In the latest Robicheaux novel, Clete Purcel - veteran, private investigator, and former New Orleans cop - takes centre stage for the first time. 'A testament to Burke's enduring place on the list of our greatest crime writers' THE IRISH TIMES **** Clete Purcel - private investigator, ex-member of the New Orleans Police Department, and war veteran with a hard shell and just a few soft spots - is Dave Robicheaux's longtime friend and partner in detective work. But he has a troubled past. When Clete leaves his car at the local car wash, only to return to find it ransacked by a group of thugs tied to the drug trade from Mexican cartels to Louisiana, it feels personal - his grandniece died of a fentanyl overdose, and his fists curl when he thinks of the dealers who sold it. Just as Clete starts to trail the culprits, Clara Bow hires Clete as a detective to investigate her scheming, slippery ex-husband, and a string of brutal deaths all link back to a heavily tattooed man who seems to lurk around every corner. Clete is experiencing shockingly lifelike hallucinations and questioning Clara's ulterior motives when he and Dave start to hear rumors of a dangerous substance with potentially catastrophic effects. The thugs who destroyed his car might have been pawns in a scheme far darker than they could've imagined. Gripping, violent, yet interlaced with Clete's humor and consistent drive to protect those he loves, Clete brings a fresh perspective to a truly iconic series. **** PRAISE FOR JAMES LEE BURKE, THE AWARD-WINNING KING OF SOUTHERN NOIR: 'James Lee Burke is the heavyweight champ, a great American novelist whose work, taken individually or as a whole, is unsurpassed' Michael Connelly 'A gorgeous prose stylist' Stephen King 'No argument: James Lee Burke is among the finest of all contemporary American novelists' Daily Mail 'The greatest crime writer currently at work' Spectator 'The reigning champ of nostalgia noir' New York Times 'Masterly' Sunday Telegraph

The Big Sleep & Farewell, My Lovely

You're successful. 
You've built something meaningful. You know how to work hard. You know how to get results. 
So why does it still take so much out of you?
Why does maintaining your success require so much, and why does the next level feel like it might cost even more? 
Most high performers assume the answer is strategy.
More discipline. More focus. More effort. 
You've likely done the mindset work, too.
And yet something still feels off.
What if the real issue isn't what you're doing, but what's driving you?
In The Invisible Edge, you'll follow successful business owners and leaders as they uncover what's really fueling their performance.
From the outside, they look capable and accomplished.
Inside, each is navigating pressure, doubt, and patterns they don't fully understand.
Through a series of coaching conversations, they begin to see something most people never recognize.
The same internal drivers that helped them succeed are now quietly limiting how far they can go.
This is not a book about working harder. 
It's about understanding: 
-why success can feel so expensive 
-why the next level can feel out of reach, even when you're capable 
-how to shift what's driving you so growth no longer costs everything else
 If you've ever felt like:
-you're working harder than you should have to at this level
-you can succeed, but you're not sure you can sustain more
-something feels off, even when things look good on the outside 
This book will help you see what's been there all along. 
You don't need more strategy to get to the next level. 
You need to understand what's driving you and what it's costing you.

The Invisible Edge

Judge Dee is about to step into the shoes of a dead man...

But Judge Dee is not most men. He arrives ready to get to the truth, only to find his life complicated even further by a missing bride, a vanished artisan, a man-eating tiger and an evil conspiracy.
