THE DEVILS YOU KNOW
Ben Sanders
Allen & Unwin
9781760877873 | $32.99 | | PB | Fiction
Ben Sanders, author of American Blood, strikes again in a mile-
a-minute, white-knuckle ride through the heart of darkness in
sunny California
Vincent needs a change. He's spent the last fifteen years in
covert operations for the U.S. government, but after a botched
and fatal mission, he decides he's done with pulling triggers for
shadowy officialdom. He wants a rest from the violence.
Vincent accepts a job in Santa Barbara, California, as head of
security for supermarket mogul Eugene Lamar. It's perfect: his
main duty is driving the boss to and from golf, which means
ample down-time for contemplating life—and how to live it with
a zero body-count. He's intrigued too by Lamar's daughter—
journalist Karen Jones—on tour to promote a book about the
benefits of war. There's only one problem: if Lamar's business is
confined to supermarkets, why does he need a panic room full of
assault rifles, and a .357 revolver in his car?
It seems that Santa Barbara is a sunny town full of dark talent,
and Vincent worries he'll have to revert to dark talents of his own
if he's going to stay alive . . .
Ben Sanders is the author of American Blood, Marshall's
Law and The Stakes, as well as three New Zealand Fiction
Bestsellers: The Fallen, By Any Means and Only the Dead. He

THE IMITATOR
Rebecca Starford
Allen & Unwin
9781760529796 | $32.99 | | PB | Fiction
A page-turning World War Two spy thriller, based on true events
Out of place at boarding school, scholarship girl Evelyn Varley
realises the only way to fit in is to be like everyone else. She hides
her real self behind the manners and attitudes of those around
her and by the time she graduates from Oxford University in 1939,
she has perfected her performance.
War is looming. Evelyn soon finds herself recruited to MI5, and
the elite counterintelligence department of Bennett White,
the enigmatic spy-runner. Recognising Evelyn's mercurial
potential, White assigns her the dangerous task of infiltrating
an underground group of Nazi sympathisers working to form an
alliance with Germany.
But befriending people to betray them isn't easy. Evelyn is drawn
deeper into a duplicity of her own making and her increasing
distrust of everyone, including herself, begins to test her better
judgement. Evelyn's loyalty is pushed to breaking point, forcing
her to make an impossible decision.
A powerfully insightful and luminous portrait of courage and
loyalty, and the sacrifices made in their name.
Rebecca Starford is publishing director of Kill Your Darlings
magazine and the acclaimed author of Bad Behaviour, which is
being adapted into a TV series. She lives in Brisbane.

Say goodbye to lousy sleep with this six-week, step-by-step
programme to help you kick insomnia to the curb forever
Bad sleep sucks. Sleep deficiency defies our biology and
sabotages our days. Yet more than a third of us struggle to get
to sleep or stay asleep at night. You're not alone, and there is a
way through. This six-week, step-by-step guide will help you sleep
easy.
Suffering from chronic insomnia, Bernice Tuffery tried
everything—from melatonin to supplements, yoga and meditation
to sleeping pills—but nothing worked for any length of time. As a
qualitative market researcher, she was determined to know how
to sleep naturally again.
She discovered a proven, natural and very learnable way to
improve chronic sleep difficulties. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
for insomnia (CBTi) is recognised internationally by sleep experts
as the gold-standard treatment. But with a lack of awareness,
a severe shortage of experts offering it and virtually no public
funding for treatment in New Zealand and Australia, it's hard and
expensive to access.
From her discussions with sleep professionals, extensive research
and her lived-experience of restoring her own sleep, Bernice
shares her knowledge with humour and heart. Confident that
CBTi can be self-taught, she offers this practical and inspiring
insiders' guide to getting a good night's sleep.
