Description: A breathtakingly beautiful supermodel disappears from a swimsuit photo shoot at the most glamorous hotel in Hawaii. Only hours after

she goes missing, Kim McDaniels' parents receive a terrifying phone call. Fearing the worst, they board the first flight to Maui and begin the hunt for

their daughter. Ex-cop Ben Hawkins, now a reporter for the LA Times, gets the McDaniels assignment. The ineptitude of the local police force defies

belief - Ben has to start his own investigation for Kim McDaniels to have a prayer ...and for Ben to have the story of his life. All the while, the killer sets

the stage for his next production. His audience expects the best - and they won't be disappointed. Swimsuit is a heart-pounding story of fear and

desire, transporting you to a place where beauty and murder collide and unspeakable horrors are hidden within paradise. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: 'Roberto Bolano redefined the form of the novel in his masterpiece "2666"; with the hallucinatory narrative of "Amulet", he reimagines

what literature can become' - "New Statesman". Auxilio Lacouture is trapped. For twelve days, she hides alone in a lavatory on the fourth floor of the

university. Staring at the floor, she begins a heartfelt and feverish tale: she is the Mother of Mexican poetry. This highly charged first-person semi-

hallucinatory novel is a potent stream of consciousness through which the poets of Mexico rage and swirl. Filled with wild, dark literary prophecies,

heroic poets, mad poets, artists 'choked by the brilliance of youth', Auxilio's passionate narration - both heart-breaking and lyrical - is suffused with the

essence of Bolano's art. 'We can't recommend this incredible book highly enough ..."Amulet" is a light out of darkness' - "Dazed & Confused".

'Encapsulates the violence and tragedy of recent Latin American history ...spare but beautifully compacted' - "The Times". 'His work is the crossroads

where Marquez meets Burroughs and Borges meets Mailer, resulting in a riotous dust-up' John Banville, "Guardian".

'A curtain-raising taster to the epic of his landmark works' Boyd Tonkin, "Independent". _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: Charlatan. Guru. Master of disguise. Ahead of his time, wise beyond his years, a simple opportunist or the great pretender; however you

choose to see him, one fact is certain: Dr Ragab is a mysterious man. Talked about by pretty much everyone in 1920s Cairo, only a few get the chance

to make his acquaintance, and fewer still - one person, in fact - get to study his life lessons. Hertwig is that lucky soul. Or not so lucky, perhaps: not

when he finds himself, at the very end of the second world war, imprisoned in a bunker by a gang of thugs. And yet ...there is a possible way out. Not in

the conventional sense, it's true, but when you're holed up several feet underground, unsure of how long your captors plan to keep you alive,

convention isn't necessarily a good thing, as Dr Ragab would be the first to proclaim - and it's his Universal Language that may just provide Hertwig

with the escape route he needs. As unconventional as the eponymous Ragab, Robert Twigger's novel takes the reader on a surreal journey from

Ealing to Egypt, via Germany.

Clever, funny and thought-provoking, "Dr Ragab's Universal Language" is, in every sense, beyond belief: part tall tale and part self-help manual, it is,

like Dr R himself, impossible to pin down - or, indeed, to put down. 'Part Boy's Own adventure, part magical mystery tour' - "Metro". 'Wonderfully

inventive and entertaining' - "The Times". 'Mixes Paulo Coehlo with The English Patient. An unlikely combination but, magically, it works' - "Financial

Times". _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: Blending history, science and eye-witness accounts, and arranged in chapters corresponding to the four elements (earth, air, fire and

water), "Terra" explores the relationship between the planet and the humans who inhabit its surfaces. Through four case histories - the Lisbon

earthquake of 1755; the weather-panics of the summer of 1783; the eruption of Krakatau in 1883; and, the Hilo tsunami of 1946 - Hamblyn reminds us

of the earth's unimaginable force and describes what happens when that force is unleashed, both in terms of the immediate human consequences and

the longer term economic and scientific implications. Serving, ultimately, as a stark and incontrovertible reminder of our vulnerability when the earth

'goes wrong', "Terra" also asks why we don't seem fully able to learn from the catastrophes, mistakes and responses of the past. 'Beautifully written,

richly detailed and brilliantly judged' - "Guardian". _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: At night, when we are feeling tired and ready for bed, owls are just waking up. But one curious little owl decides to stay awake all day,

beautiful of all. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: The year is 1868, and Sherlock Holmes is fourteen. His life is that of a perfectly ordinary army officer's son: boarding school, good

manners, a classical education - the backbone of the British Empire. But all that is about to change. With his father suddenly posted to India, and his

mother mysteriously 'unwell', Sherlock is sent to stay with his eccentric uncle and aunt in their vast house in Hampshire. So begins a summer that

leads Sherlock to uncover his first murder, a kidnap, corruption and a brilliantly sinister villain of exquisitely malign intent ..."The Death Cloud" is the first

in a series of novels in which the iconic detective is reimagined as a brilliant, troubled and engaging teenager - creating unputdownable detective

adventures that remain true to the spirit of the original books. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: Welcome to the Shahjahan, one of Calcutta's oldest and most venerable hotels. In "Chowringhee", the Shahjahan's new receptionist

regales his audience with stories of the people who spend their days and nights within the Shahjahan's grand facade. Like Bengal itself, this is a place

where greed, seduction and death live alongside love, luxury and pride. With wit, warmth, and ferocious energy, "Chowringhee" reveals to us an entire

universe. One of the great novels of contemporary Indian literature, it presents a glittering vision of a lost metropolis, and an homage to an old Bengal

of myth and memory. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Mia (still in love with Alejo, the married father of her daughter) and Britt (the ice maiden author of a romantic bestseller), join a luxury honeymoon cruise

in the Caribbean where Britt is the guest lecturer. Also on board are recently widowed Leo, still reeling from the discovery of his wife's betrayal just

chance that Britt and Leo can see that they really should get together? When the characters head for home -- Mia to Spain, the others to Dublin -- it

seems that all romantic options are off. But love has a way of triumphing in Sheila O'Flanagan's novels, even if it takes till the very last page... _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: In "The Making of Modern Britain", Andrew Marr paints a fascinating portrait of life in Britain during the first half of the twentieth century as

the country recovered from the grand wreckage of the British Empire. Between the death of Queen Victoria and the end of the Second World War, the

nation was shaken by war and peace. The two wars were the worst we had ever known and the episodes of peace among the most turbulent and

surprising. As the political forum moved from Edwardian smoking rooms to an increasingly democratic Westminster, the people of Britain experimented

with extreme ideas as they struggled to answer the question 'How should we live?' Socialism? Fascism? Feminism? Meanwhile, fads such as

eugenics, vegetarianism and nudism were gripping the nation, while the popularity of the music hall soared. It was also a time that witnessed the birth

of the media as we know it today and the beginnings of the welfare state. Beyond trenches, flappers and Spitfires, this is a story of strange cults and

economic madness, of revolutionaries and heroic inventors, sexual experiments and raucous stage heroines.

From organic food to drugs, nightclubs and celebrities to package holidays, crooked bankers to sleazy politicians, the echoes of today's Britain ring

from almost every page. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: Packed with hair-raising escapades and laugh out-loud moments, this is the perfect tonic to cheer everyone up this year. Newly divorced

and straining at the leash, Ben can't wait to get back into the game. His bunny-boiler ex doesn't want him, but she doesn't want anyone else to have

him either so she's bought herself a powerful pair of binoculars and it's game on! Ben moves back in with his overbearing and psychopathic mother

who lost her 'baby boy' to marriage once and will do anything to stop him leaving again. Eager to escape, he calls on his trusty side-kick Dickie Manse

'brains-in-his-pants' and together they find themselves renting a flat above a chip shop where their daft antics drive the Italian owner up the wall. But

single life isn't all it's cracked up to be. Ben falls for the dubious charms of Nancy despite everyone warning him off. He staggers from one disaster to

another, unaware that Poppy, the girl from the dog kennels where he works, is head-over-heels in love with him! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: 'Like Spartan Helen, I caused a war. She caused hers by letting men who wanted her take her. I caused mine because I wouldn't be

given, wouldn't be taken, but chose my man and my fate. The man was famous, the fate obscure; not a bad balance.' Lavinia is the daughter of the

King of Latium, a victorious warrior who loves peace; she is her father's closest companion. Now of an age to wed, Lavinia's mother favours her own

kinsman, King Turnus of Rutulia, handsome, heroic, everything a young girl should want. Instead, Lavinia dreams of mighty Aeneas, a man she has

heard of only from a ghost of a poet, who comes to her in the gods' holy place and tells her of her future, and Aeneas' past...If she refuses to wed

Turnus, Lavinia knows she will start a war - but her fate was set the moment the poet appeared to her in a dream and told her of the adventurer who

fled fallen Troy, holding his son's hand and carrying his father on his back... _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: Nomad is a philosophical memoir, telling how Ayaan Hirsi Ali came to America in search of a new life, and the difficulties she faced in

reconciling her two worlds. With vivid anecdotes and observations of people, cultures, and political debacles, this narrative weaves together Hirsi Ali's

and moderates in the world today and her singular, unwavering intellectual courage, Hirsi Ali offers her always notable, often controversial analysis of

Islam vis a vis the superiority of Western democratic values. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: Zahra, aged 3, and Hawra, just a few months old were the only survivors of a missile strike in Baghdad in 2003. Their parents and their

five siblings all died. Unable to have children herself, Hala Jaber, an award-winning foreign correspondent, was determined to do all she could to help

them. Sent to Iraq by "The Sunday Times" to cover the war, the last thing she expected was to find herself trying to save two little girls who had lost

everything. But what happened next tells us far more about that conflict than any news bulletin ever could. Being a Lebanese Muslim, as well as the

employee of a London paper, Hala is in the privileged position of being able to straddle two very different worlds and explain one to the other, and her

beautifully written and deeply moving account affords a genuinely fresh insight into the Iraq war and its terrible human cost. The praise for "The Flying

Carpet to Baghdad" include: 'I read the book in one sitting and confess I cried more than once. Jaber's story doesn't tie it all up with a neat pink ribbon,

but it is all the more telling and universal for that' - "The Sunday Times".

'Nothing I have read compares to Hala Jaber's mesmerizing account of how her longing for a baby drew her into an intense, often agonizing,

traveller and a mind-reader, and in this sizzling new story she harnesses a new power - morphing. Soon she and her twin brother Micky are swapping

Advanced Arts' hypnotism book, they will never get back to their own bodies. Sabotaged by a gaggle of wicked women who want to destroy them,

Molly and Micky must find a way to return to themselves in spite of all the dangerous surprises thrown their way. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: Eduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg - an awkward maths prodigy and a painfully shy computer genius - were never going to fit in at

elite, polished Harvard. Yet that all changed when master-hacker Mark crashed the university's entire computer system by creating a rateable database

of female students. Narrowly escaping expulsion, the two misfits refocused the site into something less controversial - 'The Facebook' - and watched as

it spread like a wildfire across campuses around the country, along with their popularity. Yet amidst the dizzying levels of cash and glamour, as silicon

valley, venture capitalists and reams of girls beckoned, the first cracks in their friendship started to appear, and what began as a simple argument

spiralled into an out-and-out war. The great irony is that Facebook succeeded by bringing people together - but its very success tore two best friends

apart. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: This is a prize-winning international classic, first published in English by 'Serpent's Tail' in 1993. Sitting at his desk, Bernardo Soares

imagined himself free forever of Rua dos Douradores, of his boss Vasques, of Moreira the book-keeper, of all the other employees, the errand boy, the

post boy, even the cat. But if he left them all tomorrow and discarded the suit of clothes he wears, what else would he do? Because he would have to

do something. And what suit would he wear? Because he would have to wear another suit. A self-deprecating reflection on the sheer distance between

the loftiness of his feelings and the humdrum reality of his life, "The Book of Disquiet" is a classic of existentialist literature. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: Welcome to the village of Notwithstanding where a lady dresses in plus fours and shoots squirrels, a retired general gives up wearing

clothes altogether, a spiritualist lives in a cottage with the ghost of her husband, and people think it quite natural to confide in a spider that lives in a

potting shed. Based on de Bernieres' recollections of the village he grew up in, "Notwithstanding" is a funny and moving depiction of a charming

vanished England. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: This is a stand-alone thriller by an acclaimed writer on "The Wire": now a 'Serpent's Tail' Classic. Constantine is a drifter with a lot of

miles behind him, a lot more ahead and plenty of jobs in between that never showed up on anyone's books. Back in his home town, he hitches a ride

on a bright spring morning with a little man named Polk. There's one stop Polk needs to make, and it changes Constantine's life forever. Like the kind

of cars they don't make anymore and the kind of songs they don't sing, "Shoedog" has the style, rhythm and muscle of a classic. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: The Third Man Factor tells the revealing story behind an extraordinary idea: that people at the very edge of death, often adventurers or

explorers, experience a benevolent presence beside them who encourages them to make one final effort to survive. If only a handful of people had

ever experienced the Third Man, it might be dismissed as an unusual delusion but amazingly, over the years, the experience has occurred again and

again: to mountaineers, divers, polar explorers, prisoners of war, solo sailors, aviators, astronauts and 9/11 survivors. All have escaped traumatic

events only to tell strikingly similar stories of having experienced the close presence of a helper or guardian. The mysterious force has been explained

as everything from hallucination to divine intervention while recent neurological research suggests something else. In The Third Man Factor John

Geiger combines history, scientific analysis and great adventure stories to explain this secret to survival, the Third Man who - in the words of legendary

Italian climber Reinhold Messner - 'leads you out of the impossible'. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: Our age is obsessed by the idea of conspiracy. We see it everywhere - from Pearl Harbour to 9/11, from the assassination of Kennedy to

the death of Diana. "Voodoo Histories" entertainingly demolishes the absurd and sinister conspiracy theories of the last 100 years. Aaronovitch reveals

why people are so ready to believe in them and the dangers of this credulity. Meticulous in its research, forensic in its reasoning, hilarious in its

debunking, this book will arm anyone who has found themselves at the wrong end of a conversation about moon landings or the twin towers. The

paperback includes a new chapter on the anti-Obama birthers - a movement that is currently gathering steam and hitting the headlines. The book

explodes the conspiracy theories surrounding: the Protocols of the Elders of Zion; Pearl Harbour; the deaths of Kennedy, Monroe and Princess Diana;

Description: The island is divided in two, but one man's love will never be compromised...It was Cyprus, 1955 - a war is raging and four Greek

brothers are growing up to the familiar sounds of exploding bombs and sniper fire. Determined to avenge the death of his elder brother and to win the

heart of his beloved Praxi, young Loukis joins a cell of schoolboy terrorists operating in the mountains. But when his cohorts blow themselves up in a

freak accident, he returns home in shock, yearning for the warm embrace of his family - and of his sweetheart. But his adored Praxi is now married to

someone else, and playing at her feet is a young toddler...Utterly compelling, infinitely absorbing, "Aphrodite's War" is an epic tale of an island at war

with itself. Its warm-hearted, compassionate picture of the Encomidou family shows how, even with your people's future at stake, there is nothing so

indomitable as the human heart. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
