Web of Deceit
Howell, Katherine
When paramedics Jane and Alex encounter a man refusing to get out of his
crashed car with bystanders saying he deliberately drove into a pole, it looks
like a cry for help. His claim that someone is out to get him adds to their
thinking that he is delusional.
Later that day he is found dead under a train in what might be a suicide, but
Jane is no longer so sure: she remembers the terror in his eyes.
Detective Ella Marconi shares Jane's doubts, which are only compounded
when the case becomes increasingly tangled. The victim's boss tries to commit
suicide when being questioned, a witness flees their attempt to interview her
and a woman is beaten unconscious in front of Jane's house.
Ella is at a loss to know how all these clues add up and then a shocking turn
of events puts even more people in danger...

Losing February
Freymark, Susanna
Bernie, a divorced mother of three, lives in a converted shed - albeit with a
great view - in Byron Bay. She works part-time as a journalist for the local
paper. Bernie has an amicable relationship with her ex-husband and strong
female friendships. Her life is steady, normal, recognisable.
While writing her first novel, she gets in contact with an old friend from
university. Jack is married, has two children, and has never forgotten Bernie.
A tortuous, intimate, passionate - yet frustratingly sexless - affair follows,
fuelled by the exchange of hundreds of confessional text messages and emails.
Jack's inability to be physically available to support Bernie becomes clear
when her father dies and she is threatened by her neighbour. When Jack ends
their relationship, Bernie is emotionally destroyed and wracked with guilt.
She seeks solace in a string of increasingly dangerous and twisted sexual
encounters. What begins as an innocent search for validation on internet
dating sites leads - frighteningly quickly - to sexting, pornography, brief
liaisons in seedy motels, group sex, and swingers' parties. She hides her new
lifestyle from her family and friends and retreats into nameless, addictive sex.
'Losing February' describes, in sometimes disturbingly graphic detail, what
happens when a strong, energetic, capable woman in her early 40s completely
loses her sense of self and mistakes grief for punishment.

Ten Things I've Learnt About Love

city of London feels like home in a way that no bricks and mortar ever did. He

Never Screw Up
Lapidus, Jens
The first-novelist-turned-phenomenon Jens Lapidus is back with the second
part of his Stockholm Noir Trilogy. And this time, we're talking true noir.
Here, the coke dealers and hit men of 'Easy Money' have been accompanied
by cops; good ones and bad ones, but real cops, desperate about a situation
that has long since spun out of control. At the centre of the narrative are three
men: a fanatic ex-mercenary, a fallen cop, and a young Arab who
involuntarily finds himself working for Radovan, Stockholm's own
Godfather. A puzzling murder that will prove to have links to the top echelon
of the financial and political power connects the protagonists, and soon their
paths cross. No one describes Stockholm better than Jen Lapidus; here, it
emerges as a Northern Gehenna, a brutal and frightening dog-eat-dog world.
The Author
Jens Lapidus is the man behind the most talked about Swedish first novel in a
decade: 'Easy Money' - the first of the internationally bestselling Stockholm
Trilogy - is a dark and brutal account of the Stockholm underworld. A young
and highly successful criminal defense lawyer, Lapidus' professional
experience of representing some of the most notorious criminals in the
country has given him unique insights into a world that most people would
rather not acknowledge. Jens Lapidus lives in Stockholm with his wife.

Silent Fear
Howell, Katherine
On a searing summer's day paramedic Holly Garland rushes to an emergency
to find a man collapsed with a bullet wound in the back of his head, CPR
being performed by two bystanders, and her long-estranged brother Seth
watching it all unfold.
Seth claims to be the dying man's best friend, but Holly knows better than to
believe anything he says and fears that his re-appearance will reveal the bleak
secrets of her past-secrets which both her fiance Fraser and her colleagues
have no idea exist, and which if exposed could cause her to lose everything.
Detective Ella Marconi suspects Seth too, but she's also sure the dead man's
wife is lying, and the deceased's boss seems just too helpful. But then a
shocking double homicide related to the case makes Ella realise that her
investigations are getting closer to the killer, but also increasing the risk of an
even higher body count.

Katherine Howell is a former ambulance officer. She lives in Queensland with

Halo: Primordium
Bear, Greg
In the wake of apparent self-destruction of the Forerunner empire, two
humans - Chakas and Riser - are like flotsam washed up on very strange
shores indeed. Captured by the Master Builder, misplaced during a furious
battle in space, they now find themselves on an inverted world where
horizons rise into the sky, and where humans of all kinds are trapped in a
perilous cycle of horror and neglect. For they have become both research
animals and strategic pawns in a cosmic game whose madness knows no
end - a game of ancient vengeance between the powers who seeded the galaxy
with life, and the Forerunners who expect to inherit their sacred Mantle of
duty to all living things.
In the company of a young girl and an old man, Chakas begins an epic
journey across a lost and damaged Halo in search of a way home, an
explanation for the warrior spirits rising up within, and for the Librarian's
tampering with human destiny.
This journey will take them into the Palace of Pain, the domain of a powerful
and monstrous intelligence who claims to be the Last Precursor, and who now
has control of both this Halo and the fate of Forerunners and Humans alike.
Called the Captive by Forerunners, and the Primordial by ancient human
warriors, this intelligence has taken charge of, and retasked, the Master
Builder's cruel researches into the Flood - which it may have itself unleashed
on the galaxy more than ten thousand years before.

Dead Water
Cleeves, Ann
When the body of journalist Jerry Markham is found in a traditional Shetland
boat, outside the house of the Fiscal down at the Marina, young Detective
Inspector Willow Reeves is drafted in from the Hebrides to head up the
investigation.
Since the death of his fiancée, Inspector Jimmy Perez has been out the loop,
but his interest in this new case is stirred and he decides to help the inquiry for Willow, his local knowledge is invaluable as the close-knit community
holds many secrets.

London - had left the islands years before to pursue his burgeoning writing
career. In his wake, he left a scandal involving a young girl, Evie Watt, who is
now engaged to a crofter. He had few friends there, so why was he back in
Shetland?
Willow and Jimmy are soon led to Sullum Voe, the heart of Shetland's North
Sea oil and gas industry. In a community where traditional values are held
very dear by some, the advent of new energies, even renewables, is not
always welcome. It emerges that Markham was chasing a story in his final
days. One that must have been - for someone - significant enough to warrant
his death...

Inexplicables, The
Priest, Cherie
Adventures await Rector "Wreck 'em" Sherman. About to turn eighteen, he's
facing ejection from the orphanage that passed for home. He should also
choose a trade, but work is scarce in steam-powered Seattle. And Rector has
more unconventional plans.
He's started dealing in sap, a yellow narcotic produced by rebels and outlaws
within the city's toxic walled enclave. What's worse, he's been sampling his
wares. Other problems include being haunted by an old friend with a grudge.
The pressure builds until he sneaks behind the wall himself, seeking both
(un)gainful employment and excitement.
As rumoured, he finds a terrifying host of the hungry undead, and then
there’s the monster. Rector's certain that his attacker wasn't human, or
undead. But he’s going to need more proof than his own addled word to
expose it. His new mission becomes a compulsion when others witness the
creature’s destructiveness, and give its kind a name. The Inexplicables.

But why is there no urgency from the authorities to find out what's
happening? Rosie Gilmour's instincts tell her there's more to this story, but
after six weeks on the frontlines in Kosovo, is her sympathy for the refugees
clouding her judgement? Rosie must decide what is most important to her.

Until Thy Wrath Be Past
Larsson, Asa
It is the first thaw of spring and the body of a young woman surfaces in the
River Thorne in the far north of Sweden. Rebecka Martinsson is working as a
prosecutor in nearby Karuna. Her sleep has been disturbed by haunting
visions of a shadowy, accusing figure. Could the body belong to the ghost in
her dreams? And where is the dead girl's boyfriend, also reported as missing
the previous winter?
Joining forces once again with Police Inspectors Anna-Maria Mella and SvenErik Stålnacke, Rebecka is drawn into an investigation that centres on old
rumours about a plane carrying supplies for German troops in 1943 that never
arrived. Shame and secrecy shroud the locals' memories of the war, with
Sweden's early collaboration with the Nazis still a raw wound. And on the
windswept shore of a frozen lake lurks a killer who will kill again to keep the
past buried for ever beneath half a century's silent ice and snow.
The Author
Åsa Larsson was born and grew up in Kiruna, Sweden. She is a qualified

Potter's Field, The
Camilleri, Andrea
While Vigàta is wracked by storms, Inspector Salvo Montalbano is called to
attend the discovery of a dismembered body in a field of clay. Bearing all the
marks of an execution style killing, it seems clear that this is, once again, the
work of the notorious local mafia. But who is the victim? Why was the body
divided into 30 pieces? And what is the significance of the Potter's Field?
Working to decipher these clues, Montalbano must also confront the strange
and difficult behaviour exhibited by his old colleague Mimi, and avoid the
distraction of the enchanting Dolores Alfano - who seeks the inspector's help
in locating her missing husband. But like the Potter's Field itself, Montalbano
is on treacherous ground and only one thing is certain - nothing is quite as it
seems...

What do a dead cat, a computer whiz-kid, an Electric Monk who believes the

Apparently not much; until Dirk Gently, self-styled private investigator, sets
out to prove the fundamental interconnectedness of all things by solving a
mysterious murder, assisting a mysterious professor, unravelling a mysterious
mystery, and eating a lot of pizza - not to mention saving the entire human
race from extinction along the way (at no extra charge).

Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul, The
Adams, Douglas
Funnier than Psycho... more chilling than Jeeves Takes Charge... shorter than
War and Peace... The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul.
When a passenger check-in desk at Terminal Two, Heathrow Airport, shot up
through the roof engulfed in a ball of orange flame, the usual people tried to
claim responsibility. First the IRA, then the PLO and the Gas Board. Even
British Nuclear Fuels rushed out a statement to the effect that the situation
was completely under control, that it was a one in a million chance, that there
was hardly any radioactive leakage at all and that the site of the explosion
would make a nice location for a day out with the kids and a picnic, before
finally having to admit that it wasn't actually anything to do with them at all.
No rational cause could be found for the explosion - it was simply designated
an act of God. But, thinks Dirk Gently, which God? And why? What God
would be hanging around Terminal Two of Heathrow Airport trying to catch
the 15:37 to Oslo?

Salmon of Doubt, The
Adams, Douglas
The last full new book, this distinctive and inimitable collection is the
ultimate must-have title for Douglas Adams fans.
Here is Douglas Adams' indispensable guide to life, the universe and
everything. This sublime collection dips into the wit and wisdom of the man
behind 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', uncovering his unique comic
musings on everything from his school-trousers to malt whisky and from the
letter Y through to his own nose, via atheism, hangovers and fried eggs.
Including short stories and eleven chapters of a Dirk Gently novel that
Douglas Adams was working on at the time of his death, 'The Salmon of
Doubt' is for fans and new readers alike. These hilarious collected writings
reveal the warmth, enthusiasm and ferocious intelligence behind this most
English of comic writers; a man who was virtually an unofficial member of
the Monty Python team. Douglas Adams on his passion for P. G. Wodehouse,
The Beatles and the perfect cup of tea alone make this a must-have collection
and a remarkable sign-off from one of the best loved writers of all time.

Reality Dysfunction, The
Hamilton, Peter F.
In AD 2600 the human race is finally realizing its full potential. Hundreds of
colonized planets across the galaxy host a multitude of wildly diverse
cultures. Genetic engineering has pushed evolution far beyond nature's
boundaries, defeating disease and producing extraordinary spaceborn
creatures. Huge fleets of sentient trader starships thrive on the wealth created
by the industrialization of entire star systems. And throughout inhabited
space the Confederation Navy keeps the peace. A true golden age is within
our grasp.
But now something has gone catastrophically wrong. On a primitive colony
planet a renegade criminal's chance encounter with an utterly alien entity
unleashes the most primal of all our fears. An extinct race which inhabited the
galaxy aeons ago called it 'The Reality Dysfunction', and is the nightmare
which has prowled beside us since the beginning of history.

Q is for Quarry
Grafton, Sue
She was a 'Jane Doe', an unidentified white female whose decomposed body
was discovered near a quarry off California's Highway 1. The case fell to the
Santa Teresa County Sheriff's Department, but the detectives had little to go
on, and after months of investigation, the murder remained unsolved.
That was eighteen years ago. Now the two men who found the body, both
nearing the end of long careers in law enforcement, want one last shot at the
case... and they turn to Kinsey Millhone to help them find closure.
But revisiting the past can be a dangerous business, and what begins with the
pursuit of Jane Doe's real identity ends in a high-risk hunt for her killer.
Based on an unsolved homicide that occured in 1969, Q is for Quarry and
Grafton's interest in the case have renewed police efforts. The body has been
exhumed, and a facial reconstruction made that appears in the last pages of
the novel. It is hoped that the photograph will trigger memories that may lead
to a positive identification.

simplicity of the task. But Reba Lafferty emerges feisty and rebellious, and
Kinsey is soon fighting to prevent her charge from breaking the conditions of

As she finds herself befriending the ex-gambler, ex-alcoholic and ex-con,

When Kinsey is asked by the police to persuade Reba to unveil crucial

lover, Reba is suddenly all too eager to do everything she can to ruin him.

U is for Undertow
Grafton, Sue
In 1960s Santa Teresa, California, a child is kidnapped and never returned...
When the case is reopened after twenty years, a man - Michael Sutton contacts private detective Kinsey Millhone for help. He claims to have
recalled a strange and disturbing memory which just might provide the key to
the mystery. He may have stumbled across the kidnappers burying Mary
Claire Fitzhugh's body...
But Michael's account is indistinct -he was only six years old at the time of the
kidnapping; and even members of his family try to discredit his evidence. But
Kinsey is certain there is something vital within Michael's recollections. And
even when what is eventually unearthed isn't what anyone expected, she can't
quite let go of the case.
As Kinsey gradually brings to light the stories of the protagonists involved in
the tragedy, from Country Club parents to their free-living, hippy children,
the truth finally begins to emerge. And while stepping back into the past,
Kinsey discovers more about her own history too...

My James
Bulger, Ralph and Dunn, Rosie
A powerful, heartfelt and moving account of his son's murder and his fight
for justice by Ralph Bulger
James Bulger was just a few weeks shy of his third birthday when, on 12
February 1993, he wandered away from his mum Denise in a shopping mall
in Bootle. Grainy images from a security camera showed him trustingly
holding the hand of ten-year-old Jon Venables as they walked away. Venables
and his friend Robert Thompson murdered James, in a crime that shocked the
world.
In this haunting book, James' father Ralph describes how his world fell apart
in the days that followed. In his darkest hours he drank to numb the pain, and
the stress tore his marriage apart. He tells how he learned to cope with his
grief, but the sorrow of James' death has never left him. He discusses the long
legal battle to see justice for his son, as he tried to prevent his killers being
released early, and his continuing fight to see them behind bars where they
can't hurt anyone else. Above all, he pays tribute to his son, an adorable,
cheeky boy whose bright smile brought joy to his family's lives.

White Shotgun
Bolzoni, Attilio
Lupara bianca ('White Shotgun') - an Italian term that refers to a Mafia-style
killing, in which no trace of the victim can be found.
For thirty years, prize-winning Sicilian journalist Attilio Bolzoni has reported
on the shadowy activities of Cosa Nostra. Now, for the first time, he has
collected together a powerful anthology of rare interviews, court proceedings
and transcripts of phone taps that together capture the essence of this most
hidden of secret societies.
From the 'traditional' Mafia of the early 20th Century to the 'Maxi' show-trials
of the 1980s and beyond, 'White Shotgun' is both a history of modern Sicilian
crime, and a book about the twisted logic and language of Cosa Nostra. From
the most humble of foot soldiers to famous pentiti ('grasses') and top-level
Bosses, this is a portrait of the men who live by a code of silence - in their own
words.
The Author
Attilio Bolzoni writes for Italy's leading newspaper, "La Repubblica". In 2009
he was awarded the prestigious 'E Giornalismo' prize for journalism, in
recognition of his long career reporting on the Mafia and Cammora.

Capturing the Light
Watson, Roger and Rappaport, Helen
'Capturing the Light' starts with a tiny scrap of purple-tinged paper, 176 years
old and about the size of a postage stamp. On it you can just make out a tiny,
ghostly image of a gothic window, an image so small and perfect that it
"might be supposed to be the work of some Lilliputian artist": the world's first
photographic negative.
This captivating book traces the lives of two very different men in the 1830s,
both racing to be the first to solve one of the world's oldest problems: how to
capture an image and keep it for ever. On the one hand there is Henry Fox
Talbot: a quiet, solitary gentleman-amateur tinkering away on his farm in the
English countryside. On the other Louis Daguerre, a flamboyant, charismatic
French showman in search of fame and fortune.
Only one question remains: who will get there first?
The Author
Roger Watson is a world authority on the early history of photography. He is
currently the Curator of the Fox Talbot Museum at Lacock Abbey and an
occasional lecturer at DeMontfort University in Leicester. Helen Rappaport is
a historian with a specialism in the nineteenth century. She is the author of
eight published books, including 'Ekaterinburg: The Last Days of the
Romanovs' and 'Magnificent Obsession: Victoria, Albert and the Death that
Changed the Monarchy'.

SEAL Target Geronimo
Pfarrer, Chuck
On May 2, 2011, at 1:03 a.m. in Pakistan, a satellite uplink was sent from the
town of Abbottabad crackling into the situation room of the White House in
Washington, D.C.: "Geronimo, Echo, KIA". These words, spoken by a Navy
SEAL, put paid to Osama bin Laden's three-decade-long career of terror.
This is the story of Bin Laden's relentless hunters and how they took down the
terrorist mastermind, told by Chuck Pfarrer, a former assault element
commander of SEAL Team Six. After talking to members of the SEAL team
involved in the raid, Pfarrer shares never-before-revealed details of the
historic raid and the men who planned and conducted it in an exclusive bootson-the-ground account of what happened during each minute of the mission both inside the building and outside.
Pfarrer takes readers inside the operation as the SEALs flew over the wall of
Bin Laden's shabby compound and then penetrated deeper and deeper into
the terrorist's lair, telling us just what it looked, sounded, and smelled like in
that sweltering Pakistani suburb. He takes us to the exact spot where the alQaeda leader was cowering when the bullet entered his head. 'SEAL Target
Geronimo' is an explosive story of unparalleled valour, clockwork military
precision, and deadly accuracy carried out by one of the most elite fighting
forces in the world - the U.S. Navy's SEAL Team Six.

Anarchy Tour, The
O’Shea, Mick
In December 1976, a coach drove off down a London street. On board were
the Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Heartbreakers and their respective
management, while The Damned, who were also on the bill, were travelling
separately.
The 'Anarchy in the UK Tour' should have been just another rock 'n' roll tour,
and surely would have been, had it not been for the Sex Pistols' anarchic
antics on the "Today" show two days earlier. What should have been an
inconsequential three-minute interview to hopefully plug the new single, and
the accompanying promotional tour, descended into farce when the show's
host Bill Grundy goaded the Sex Pistols' guitarist Steve Jones into saying
something outrageous.
Author Mick O Shea has interviewed members of the band's involved,
managers, roadies and audience members to tell the story of why this was
such an important tour.
The Author
'The Anarchy Tour' will be Mick O' Shea's ninth book. He has also written
books on the Sex Pistols, Guns 'n' Roses, Amy Winehouse and Katy Perry.

Machine Head: Inside The Machine
McIver, Joel
Machine Head are an American heavy metal band from Oakland, California
who are credited as being one of the pioneering bands in the New Wave of
American Heavy Metal.
The band nearly disbanded in 2002 after negotiating off its label, Roadrunner
Records, when controversy surrounding Machine Head's fourth album
Supercharger (released 3 weeks after September 11, 2001) resulted in their
songs and their then-current video for the song "Crashing Around You"
(which featured burning buildings) being pulled from all media outlets.
Joel McIver has interviewed all the band-members several times and has a
unique insight into their rollercoaster story, which includes alcohol addiction,
inter-band brawls and therapy, sackings, near-splits and two decades of the
heaviest music known to man, delivered all over the world.

Joel McIver is the author of 20 books on music. His best-known book is
'Justice For All: The Truth About Metallica' (Omnibus Press, 2004), a European

My Life Undecided
Brody, Jessica
PLEASE READ THIS! MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!
Okay, maybe that was a bit melodramatic, but I'm sorry, I'm feeling a bit
melodramatic at the moment.
Here's the deal. My name is Brooklyn Pierce, I'm fifteen years old, and I am
decisionally challenged. Seriously, I can't remember the last good decision I
made. I can remember plenty of crappy ones though. Including that party I
threw when my parents were out of town that accidentally burned down a
model home. Yeah, not my finest moment, for sure.
But see, that's why I started a blog. To enlist readers to make my decisions for
me. That's right. I gave up. Threw in the towel. I let someone else decide
which book I read for English. And whether or not I accepted an invitation to
join the debate team from that cute-in-a-dorky-sort-of-way guy who gave me
the Heimlich maneuver in the cafeteria. (Note to self: chew the melon before
swallowing it.) I even let them decide who I dated!
Well, it turns out there are some things in life you simply can't choose or have
chosen for you-like who you fall in love with. And now everything's more
screwed up than ever.

fresh and funny as ever.

complete with early drawings from Axel's sketchbook and a specially written
foreword from Julia herself.

Obstinate Pen, The
Dormer, Frank W.
This is what Uncle Flood wants to write with his new pen:
The following story is all true.
But the pen does not write that sentence. Instead it writes:
You have a big nose!
Who knows what to do with a pen that has a will of its own?
Not Uncle Flood.
Not Officer Wonkle.
But young Horace has an idea... .

Piggy Bunny
Vail, Rachel & Tankard, Jeremy (illust.)
Most piglets want to be pigs when they grow up. Not Liam. He wants to be a
bunny. Even if it takes a lot of practice to learn how to hop...and to eat salad.
Even if no one believes that a piggy can be a bunny. With a lot of
determination, and a little help from his grandma, Liam is determined to
make his dream come true.
For children who put on a cape or a tutu, who dream of being someone or
something different, 'Piggy Bunny' offers a reassuring and fun opportunity to
believe in themselves.

introduce lists. This appealing primer is a surefire way to make punctuation
both accessible and fun for kids.

Art Geeks and Prom Queens
Noel, Alyson
Being the new girl is tough-just ask sixteen-year-old Rio Jones. A New York
transplant, Rio has no clue how she's going to fit in at her fancy new private
school in Southern California. Plus, being late, overdressed, and named after a
Duran Duran song doesn't make the first day any easier.
Then, Rio meets Kristi. Beautiful, rich, and a cheerleader, Kristi is the queen
bee of Newport Beach, and she isn't friends with just anyone, so Rio is thrilled
when she's invited to be part of the most exclusive, popular clique. At first,
Rio is having a great time, but as she becomes more immersed in the jet set
crowd, she discovers an unwritten rule that her new friends forgot to
mention: don't cross Kristi...

away from the everyday. Closer to making dreams come true... What does

Keeping Secrets
Noel, Alyson
Secret wishes, hidden heartaches and painful truths. Everyone has them-but
some secrets are harder to hide.
We usually tell our best friends everything. Our crushes, our embarrassing
stories, our secrets-but sometimes there are truths so deep and dark that we
can't tell anyone. Not our parents, not our sisters...not even our best friends.
Some secrets are so unspeakable that we keep them safely locked away so no
one will ever discover them.
But what happens when they become more than you can handle alone? In
these two magnificent novels, two girls can't tell anyone about the terrible
burdens they carry. But as they're about to learn, it's not our secrets that
matter most-but those who still love us once they learn the truth.
A beautifully repackaged two-in-one reissue of 'Saving Zoe' and 'Faking 19'
by #1 "New York Times" bestselling author Alyson Noël

Noel, Alyson
As sophomores at Ocean High, Winter and her best friend, Sloane, make a

once Sloane gets a taste of what it's like to fit in with the cool girls, she all but
slams that door in Winter's face. Left without her best-friend-since-forever,
Winter decides to take revenge the good old fashioned way: By airing Sloane's

consequences? And is the price for popularity one that Winter is willing to
