Sara Levine: The Hitch

The Hitch

Money can't buy happiness.But it can buy everything else.'Devilishly twisted' Gillian McAllisterMack and Hailey Evans are on the cusp of living the American Dream. Established careers, two beautiful children, and a new house on a coveted lakefront estate.But modern life is expensive, so the anonymous cheques they start to receive are spent before they know it. Could this money be from Mack's estranged father? Or one of Hailey's clients? Does it really matter?Then they discover that this mysterious benefactor expects a return on their investment. How far will the couple have to go to pay them back?Debt is like fire, and someone wants to burn Mack and Hailey's lives down to the ground.'I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. What an adrenaline packed ride' Cesca Major'The diabolical premise at the center will keep you guessing until the very end' Sarina Bowen'Sharp, witty and twisted - a car crash of the American Dream in slo-mo, and I loved every second!' Liane Child'A pacy, high stakes debut that keeps you guessing until the very last page.' Andi Osho

Very Slowly All at Once

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.

I Make My Own Fun

FROM THE AUTHOR OF STRONG FEMALE CHARACTER

High Energy Unpleasant

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.

Death Do Us

Brilliantly written, masterful storytelling, and hard to put down. This story will stay with me for a very, very long time' HEATHER MORRIS, author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz As a child, Little Flower is sold to Linjing's wealthy family to become a muizai. In a fit of childish jealousy over her new handmaiden's ladylike bound feet and talent for embroidery, Linjing ensures Little Flower can never leave her to ascend in society. Despite their starkly different places in the Fong household, over the years the two girls must work together to secure both their futures through Linjing's marriage. As the two grow up, they are by turns bitter rivals and tentative friends. Until scandal strikes the family, and Linjing and Little Flower's lives are unexpectedly thrown into chaos. Linjing's fall from grace could be an opportunity for Little Flower - but will their intertwined fates lead to triumph, or tragedy for them both?

The Lotus Shoes

From Eileen Garvin, nationally bestselling author of The Music of Bees and Crow Talk, a heartwarming new story that returns to the vibrant world of beekeeping in a small Oregon town Beekeeper Jake Stevenson should be celebrating. After winning a prestigious culinary award, his fledging honey farm has been inundated with orders. But as he approaches his largest harvest ever, Jake is worried. He can’t seem to hire any helpers, and there’s no way he can do it all by himself. Meanwhile Flaco López, a Mexican teen sent north by his mother to escape growing danger in his village, has become separated from his companions and is lost on Mount Hood—hungry, scared, and alone—when he stumbles upon Jake’s beehives in a high alpine meadow. And Abigail Plue, an entomology graduate student who prefers insects to people, is studying Mount Hood’s threatened Western bumblebee—and her research might be the only thing standing between the pristine wilderness and a controversial plan championed by a local rabble rouser, would-be Sheriff Dewitt, to build a commercial hunting camp there. As Dewitt becomes increasingly strident in his calls to detain local immigrants, Flaco faces the growing danger of being an undocumented minor. And Jake and Abigail, confronting the potential destruction of the honeybees, bumblebees, and the wild meadow in which they thrive, must come together to protect everything they hold dear.
