Not Dead YetPeter James
For the City of Brighton and Hove, the publicity value of a major Hollywood movie being fi lmed on location about the city’s greatest love story – between King
George IV and Maria Fitzherbert – is incalculable. For producer Larry Brooker, this is the movie that could bring the fortune that has so long eluded him. For rock superstar, Gaia, desperate to be taken seriously as an actor, this is the role that could get her an Oscar nomination.
For Detective Superintendent Roy Grace of Sussex CID, it is a nightmare unfolding in front of his eyes. An obsessed stalker is aft er Gaia. One att empt on her life is made days before she leaves her Bel Air home to fl y to Brighton. Now, he has been warned, the stalker may be at large in his city, waiting, watching, planning.

at fi lm school. He lived in North America for a
number of years, working as a screenwriter and
fi lm producer before returning to England. His
novels, many of which have been Sunday Times

The HelperDavid Jackson
A grisly murder in a shabby New York bookstore seems to hold a special signifi cance for Detective Callum Doyle: the victim’s been marked with a
message that could have been left specially for him. But why?Th en the sinister phone calls start. Doyle is told more
deaths are planned but the caller will give him clues – on condition he keeps them to himself. So begins his dilemma. If he turns the off er down he will have nothing to go on. But if he accepts and gets it wrong, he will have concealed knowledge that could have stopped a killer.
As more deaths follow, increasingly vicious and apparently random, the pressure on Doyle to fi nd a link becomes unbearable. Does he continue to gamble with people’s lives? Or must he sacrifi ce everything to defeat a ruthless and manipulative enemy?

The Thieves’ Labyrinth James Mccreet
A death on Waterloo bridge, a body in the river near Wapping, a lady robbed on Wych Street – all common enough daily incidents in early Victorian London.

Worse, the murdered man is the architect of the coming Reunifi cation: two great civilisations are about to reunite in a new age of peace and prosperity. But it soon becomes clear that someone out there is willing to do anything to make sure that day never comes…

MisadventureRichard Meier
Winner of the inaugural Picador Poetry Prize 2010, Misadventure is a book about what we learn, and what we refuse to learn: although Meier’s poems are oft en deceptively quiet in their address, the reader soon discovers disarmingly tender poetry that touches the hope and hopelessness lurking just below the surface of things, in our rooms, tables, coats and gardens – and leaves them enriched and strange, under the transforming eye of a fi ne new talent.

The Godless BoysNaomi Wood
Imagine an alternative England, where the Church controls the country and non-believers have been exiled to a remote island. Life on the Island is diffi cult, more so because a fi erce group of boys patrol the community, searching for signs of faith and punishing any believers. When a beautiful new girl appears, arriving from the mainland on a secret search for her long-lost mother, the gang is split: one boy falls in love with her, another seeks a violent revenge. Th e struggle between them will change everything.

You’re Not What You ThinkHow to Chang e Your L i f e i n an In stant
Richard Wiseman
Nearly all self-help books are about trying to change your mind by thinking diff erently: think happy thoughts and you’ll be happier, think yourself
rich and visualise the perfect you. Psychologist Richard Wiseman, author of Paranormality and 59 Seconds, challenges this idea.
In fact, Wiseman argues, there is a surprisingly large amount of real science showing that the opposite is true: our thoughts and moods are far more directly infl uenced by our behaviour than the other way around. Act happy and you’ll actually become happier. If you want to achieve something, act as if you’ve already achieved it.
A fascinating new book that ratt les the underpinnings of self-help and pop psychology to demonstrate both the fl exibility and potential of the human mind.
Professor Richard Wiseman has an international
reputation for his research into unusual areas,
including deception, luck, humour and the
paranormal. He is the author of Paranormality and
the international bestseller 59 Seconds. Follow him

We Shall Never SurrenderB r i t i sh Vo i c e s 1 9 3 9 - 1 9 4 5 Penelope Middelboe, Donald Fry and Christopher Grace
Th rough the diaries of nine men and women, We Shall Never Surrender tells the story of the war as they experienced it, whether at home struggling simply to keep going, in high offi ce with direct infl uence on its outcome, or protesting against it. For some, keeping a diary was a way of documenting their hopes and fears for an unforeseen future. For others, it was a way of carefully preserving their lives on the page, uncertain in what state they would fi nd the world the next time they woke. Together they constitute a remarkable record of human endeavour and human cost, at a time when the whole world was locked in confl ict.
Donald Fry, Christopher Grace, and Penelope Middelboe
share a passion for social history. This is the fi rst book they
have produced together.

Be A Legend Greg Searle
Twenty years ago, rower Greg Searle won Gold in the Coxed Pair alongside his brother Jonny, at the Barcelona Olympic Games. At the age of 20, he received an MBE, and by the time he had reached his mid-thirties, his glorious career as an international athlete was over. Or was it?
