Allen & Unwin9781761065392 | $29.99 | | PB | Fiction

What would you do when faced with an impossible choice? An unputdownable thriller from the bestselling author of the

Hangman series

Would you kill your brother to save yourself?

After months of searching, disgraced athlete Elise Glyk has finally found her missing brother, Callum. He's being held in a backyard prison by Stephanie Hartnell, a former sheep farmer with an axe to grind. But before she can free Callum or call for help, Elise is captured and locked up alongside him.

Stephanie Hartnell doesn't have room for two prisoners, and she has nothing against Elise. But she needs to make sure Elise can't go to the police. So she offers Elise a deal: kill Callum, and you're free to go.

Of course, Elise won't even consider the deal. No way. It's unthinkable. But she's running out of time to find another way out. And her brother may not be the man she thought he was . . .

Jack Heath is the Australian award-winning author of more than thirty thrillers for children and adults.

Sometimes the man of your dreams is standing right in front of you . . . only ten years in the past. A charming and unconventional

love story about trying to rewrite history

Evie Berry is a thirty-year-old wannabe screenwriter who spends her days managing a London cinema bar and making the podcast Pasta La Vista with her best friend Ben.

After Evie interviews a psychic to the stars on her podcast, her life is catapulted ten years into the past. But the grass isn't quite as green as she remembers . . .

Fancy Meeting You Here is a hilarious and heart-warming love story about reliving your early twenties and testing out that old saying: be careful what you wish for.

Allen & Unwin9781760878504 | $29.99 | | PB | Fiction

A pitch-perfect story of rural tragedy, old flames reawakened and the meaning of home; a tribute to the Rural Fire Service and the

work they selflessly do

Recently divorced Sunshine Coast mother-of-two Samantha Murphy agrees to house-sit for her parents for a few weeks—but when the house involves several hundred acres of farming and livestock, it's a little more involved than the usual job. Sam left the country for a more exciting, glamorous life years ago, but now that her kids have grown up and moved out, she's at a crossroads.

Jack Cameron was in love with Sam when they were teenagers, and she broke his heart when she left town at eighteen. Their lives moved along similar paths—both marrying, having families and getting divorced—but in very different locations. Now that Sam is back, they begin to realise that there are unresolved feelings between them.

As catastrophic fires roar destructively through the local farming community, Sam has no choice but to evacuate her parents' farm. But worse is still to come: Jack is reported missing and Sam is forced to prepare for the worst news.

A story of second chances; of navigating new relationships; and of loss and rebuilding, and of finally coming home.

Karly Lane is the bestselling Australian author of seventeen previous novels including the Callahans of Stringybark Creek series.

Australia's master storyteller Graham Seal brings to life the enigmas and puzzles behind famous unsolved crimes, long-held secrets,

buried loot and strange phenomena from the bush and the city

Australia has always been a land of mysteries. Some are ancient, some are historical, and many continue to perplex us today—and will probably continue to do so tomorrow. More often than most of us would like to think, things simply vanish, and people disappear without explanation, leaving a trail of heartbreak across generations. Australia also has its fair share of buried loot and fabulous riches gone missing . . . somewhere.

Master storyteller Graham Seal has gathered mysteries from around Australia. There are riddles of lost explorers, unexplained phenomena, and yarns of fish, frogs or pebbles falling from the sky. There are unsolved crimes and long-held secrets; hidden tunnels and wartime enigmas; and hair-raising tales from the bush and from the city.

Graham Seal is a leading expert and author of Australian cultural history.

Marvel comics are the nearest thing modernity has produced to a holy epic, a blockbusting, record-shattering pop-cultural cosmology that echoes our deepest hopes and fears. All of the Marvels is a landmark, but ludicrously fun, piece of cultural criticism. Trying to make sense of the ever-expanding mythology, it shows how it reflects a funhouse-mirror history of the past 60 years, from the atomic night-terrors of the Cold War to the technocracy and political divisions of the present day. Here, truly, are all of the marvels.

Meet the scientists, psychologists, teachers, entrepreneurs, activists and police working to end one of the great issues of our time—and examine how to eliminate the biases that have settled in our societies, and our own minds.

The glare of the city lights can be blinding, as the Paris celebrated in books and films clashes with reality: the Bataclan terror attack, the violent protests of the gilet jaunes, rioting in the banlieues, Notre Dame in flames, record heatwaves and the pandemic. But in Paris, today, the mood is not one of defeat but of renewal: from planning and environmental revolution; to chefs rebelling against classist traditions; from immigrants rejecting high fashion stereotypes. Does anyone really think they can teach Parisians how to start a revolution?
