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.

Peter James was educated at Charterhouse then

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

Top 10 bestsellers, have been translated into thirty

languages and three have been fi lmed. He divides

his time between London and Sussex. Follow him

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?

After taking his Bachelor’s degree and then a PhD,

David Jackson became a full-time academic. He

is married, with two daughters and a menagerie

of animals. Pariah, his fi rst novel, was Highly

Commended in the Crime Writers’ Association

Debut Dagger Awards. This is his second novel.

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. But when an outrageous theft is committ ed at the port, the clues from these seemingly unconnected crimes soon point irresistibly to a mystery deeper and murkier than the Th ames itself. Th e Th ieves’ Labyrinth is a dazzling Victorian entertainment – a gripping, richly atmospheric murder mystery.

James McCreet was born in Sheffi eld. He taught English

abroad for several years before returning to the UK to become

a journalist and copywriter.

Archivist Luc Gabion has fi nally achieved his life’s goal of bringing down Winchell Antonov, head of the Black Lotus terrorist organisation, and the

scourge of the Tian Di’s stellar empire for countless years. But instead of feeling victorious, the encounter has left him scarred. Forcibly implanted with a technology far in advance of anything he’s encountered before, Luc sees and hears things he knows he’s not supposed to.

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…

Hood RatGavin Knight

The non-fi ction thriller anticipated as ‘the crime book of the decade.’ In Moss Side, Manchester, Anders Svensson is on the trail of drug baron

Merlin and his lieutenant, Flow, a man so dangerous his type is said to appear only once every ten years. Among the housing estates of Glasgow, faced with the highest murder rate in Europe, Karen McCluskey is on a one-woman mission to end gang warfare. And in London, Pilgrim fi nds he’s no longer feared. Troll, the child soldier, is terrorizing the streets.

Th is is the story of our hidden urban underworld. Researched on the front line, it reads like a thriller – and all of it is true.

Gavin Knight has written for the Guardian,

Newsweek and many other publications. Over a

two-year period he was regularly embedded with

police units in inner-city London, Manchester and

Glasgow. He also spent time with dozens of violent

criminals involved in gang and gun crime. Follow

This is ParadiseWill Eaves

Family: sometimes heaven, sometimes hell, never what it seems. Th e Alldens live in a ramshackle house in suburban Bath. Don and Emily have four children: confi dent Liz, satirical Clive, shy Lott e, and Benjamin, the late arrival.

But the ordinary is special, too, as the Alldens will discover thirty years later when Emily falls ill and her children come home to say goodbye. Th is Is Paradise is an unfl inching portrayal of the dynamics of family life. Th e Alldens are wholly recognizable and defi antly unique, close allies and closer adversaries who think they know each other.

novels, The Oversight and Nothing To Be Afraid Of, and a

collection of poems, Sound Houses. For many years he was

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? Be a Legend is a book about obsession; about the drive to be the best you can be, whatever your age. In April 2010, and almost two decades older than the rest of the British rowing squad, Greg made the decision to come out of retirement and go for gold again at the London 2012 Olympics. His journey gets to the very heart of what it means to compete, in any walk of life.

Greg Searle won an Olympic gold medal with his brother

Jonny and their cox Garry Herbert in 1992. Greg retired from

international rowing after the Sydney Olympics in 2000.

He is currently a director of Lane4, a company established

by former Olympic swimming champion Adrian Moorhouse

offering lessons learned in sport to the business community.
