THE INNOCENTS
MICHAEL CRUMMEY

RICHLY IMAGINED AND COMPULSIVELY READABLE,
    THE INNOCENTS IS A RIVETING STORY OF
HARDSHIP AND SURVIVAL, AND AN UNFLINCHING
EXPLORATION OF THE BOND BETWEEN SIBLINGS.

In centuries past, a brother and sister are orphaned in
an isolated outport cove on Newfoundland’s northern
coastline. Their home is a stretch of rocky shore governed
by the feral ocean and a relentless pendulum of abundance
and murderous scarcity. Still children with only the barest
notion of the outside world, they have nothing but their
family’s boat and the little knowledge passed on haphazardly
by their mother and father to help them survive.
Muddling through the severe round of the seasons,
through years of meagre catches and storms and ravaging
illness, it is their fierce loyalty to each other that motivates
and sustains them. But as seasons pass and they wade
deeper into the mystery of their own natures, even that
loyalty will be tested.

    ‘A gripping and credible page-turner about
children surviving in the wilderness, but more than
that: this Adam and Eve struggle to make sense of
a world that’s somewhere between Eden and Hell.
 Michael Crummey writes like an avenging angel,
            never putting a word wrong’

PLAY THE RED QUEEN
JURIS JURJEVICS

Vietnam, 1963. A female Viet Cong assassin is trawling
the boulevards of Saigon, catching US Army officers off-
guard with a single pistol shot, then riding off on the back
of a scooter. Although the US military is not officially
in combat, sixteen thousand American servicemen
are stationed in Vietnam “advising” the military and
government. Among them are Ellsworth Miser and Clovis
Robeson, two army investigators who have been tasked
with tracking down the daring killer.
Set in the besieged capital of a new nation on the eve of
the coup that would bring down the Diem regime and
launch the Americans into the Vietnam War, Play the Red
Queen is a tour-de-force mystery-cum-social history,
breathtakingly atmospheric and heartbreakingly alive
with the laws and lawlessness of war.

CITY OF MARGINS
WILLIAM BOYLE

The lives of several lost souls intersect in Southern
Brooklyn in the early 1990s. There’s Donnie Parascandolo,
a disgraced ex-cop with blood on his hands; Ava Bifulco,
a widow whose daily work grind is her whole life; Nick,
Ava’s son, a grubby high school teacher who dreams of
a shortcut to success; Mikey Baldini, a college dropout
who’s returned to the old neighborhood, purposeless and
drifting; Donna Rotante, Donnie’s ex-wife, still reeling
from the suicide of their teenage son; Mikey’s mother,
Rosemarie, also a widow, who hopes Mikey won’t fall into
the trap of strong arm work; and Antonina Divino, a high
school girl with designs on breaking free from Brooklyn.
Uniting them are the dead: Mikey’s old man, killed over a
gambling debt, and Donnie and Donna’s poor son, Gabe.
These characters cross paths in unexpected ways, guided
by coincidence and the pull of blood. This is a story of
revenge and retribution, of untold desires, of yearning and
forgiveness and synchronicity, of the great distance of lives
lived in dangerous proximity to each other.

       ‘Boyle’s characters are vividly drawn and
      painfully real. Fans of literary crime novelists

ANGEL’S INFERNO
WILLIAM HJORTSBERG

       ‘WHEN THE DEVIL LAUGHS THE WHOLE
         DAMN WORLD LAUGHS WITH HIM’

A mind-bending thriller blending hard-boiled detective
fiction, supernatural horror, and metaphysical noir, this
is the stunning sequel to the Edgar-nominated novel
Falling Angel, the basis for the classic cult film Angel
Heart, which also stands alone as a masterwork of noir
suspense fiction.

Taking readers on a macabre journey into the occult,
from mid-fifties New York to Paris to the Vatican, private
investigator Harry Angel, seeking both answers about his
true identity and revenge, hunts down Satan himself.

TURNCOAT
ANTHONY J QUINN

The sole survivor of a murderous ambush, a Belfast police
detective is forced into a desperate search for a mysterious
informer that takes him to a holy island on Lough Derg,
a place shrouded in strange mists and hazy rain, where
nothing is as it first appears to be.
A keeper of secrets and a purveyor of lies, the detective
finds himself surrounded by enemies disguised as pilgrims,
and is drawn deeper into the mysteries of the purgatorial
island, where he is forced to confront a series of disturbing
secrets and ghosts in his own life.
Haunting and unsettling, Turncoat is a story of guilt,
survival and the terrible price of self-knowledge, told
through the voice of a detective with a double life.
Descending into paranoia and self-doubt, he uncovers
a sinister panorama of cover-ups and conspiracies. The
closer he edges to the truth, the deeper he is drawn
into the currents of power, violence and guilt engulfing
his country...

CESARE
JEROME CHARYN

On a windy night in 1937, a seventeen-year-old German
naval sub-cadet is wandering along the seawall when
he stumbles upon a gang of ruffians beating up a tramp,
whose life he saves. The man is none other than spymaster
Wilhelm Canaris, chief of the Abwehr, German military
intelligence. Canaris adopts the young man and dubs him
‘Cesare’ after the character in the silent film The Cabinet of
Dr Caligari for his ability to break through any barrier as
he eliminates the Abwehr’s enemies.
Canaris is a man of contradictions who, while serving the
regime, seeks to undermine the Nazis and helps Cesare hide
Berlin’s Jews from the Gestapo. But the Nazis will lure many
to Theresienstadt, a phony paradise in Czechoslovakia with
sham restaurants, novelty shops, and bakeries, a cruel ghetto
and way station to Auschwitz. When the woman Cesare
loves, a member of the Jewish underground, is captured and
sent there, Cesare must find a way to rescue her.

   ‘Spectacular ... Charyn’s nuanced depiction
    of the bond between the eccentric Canaris
    and his protégé balances the novel’s many
  macabre moments, and the searing ending is a
  masterpiece of unsentimentalized tenderness.
  This extraordinary tour de force showcases the
       prolific author at the top of his game’

PETER MURPHY

‘A good police force is one that catches more crooks than
it employs’ – Sir Robert Mark

A clever, accomplished Cambridge graduate with a good
job and an attentive lover, Imogen Lester seems to have
the world at her feet. But when her parents are murdered
abroad while working for the Diplomatic Service, she
is suddenly thrown headlong into a murky world of
espionage and organised crime.
When she is charged with drug trafficking, even Ben
Schroeder’s skills may not be enough to save her – unless a
shadowy figure from Ben’s past can survive long enough to
unmask a web of graft and corruption...

        ‘Murphy paints a trenchant picture of
    establishment cover-up, and cannily subverts
     the clichés of the legal genre in his all-too-
        topical narrative’ – FINANCIAL TIMES

MICHAEL FARRIS SMITH

      GLOBAL PUBLICATION CAMPAIGN WITH
              LITTLE, BROWN, USA

Critically acclaimed novelist Michael Farris Smith pulls
Nick Carraway out of the shadows and into the spotlight
in this exhilarating imagination of his life before The
Great Gatsby

Before Nick Carraway moved to West Egg and into
Gatsby’s world, he was at the centre of a very different story
– one taking place along the trenches and deep within the
tunnels of World War I.
Floundering in the wake of the destruction he witnessed
first-hand, Nick delays his return home, hoping to escape
the questions he cannot answer about the horrors of war.
Instead, he embarks on a transcontinental redemptive
journey that takes him from a whirlwind Paris romance –
doomed from the very beginning – to the dizzying frenzy
of New Orleans, rife with its own flavour of debauchery
and violence.

                                                                                           p h o to :

                   OUT IN PAPERBACK

The small town of Red Bluff, Mississippi, has seen better
days, but now seems stuck in a black-and-white photograph
from days gone by. Unknowing, the town and its people
are about to come alive again, awakening to nightmares,
as ghostly whispers have begun to fill the night from the
kudzu-covered valley that sits on the edge of town.
When a vagabond family appears on the outskirts, when
twin boys and a woman go missing, disappearing beneath
the vines, a man with his own twisted past struggles to
untangle the secrets in the midst of the town trauma.

 ‘If you’re a fan of Southern or Rural Noir — James
 Lee Burke, Daniel Woodrell, Donald Ray Pollock,
     the literary children of Flannery O’Connor —
 you’ll feel uncomfortably at home. Though Farris
   Smith has five novels under his belt, he is little
 known in Britain. That ought to change: let some
  Mississippian mayhem, murder and misery into
          your lives’ – ROBBIE MILLEN, TIMES

THE MERCENARY
PAUL VIDICH

Moscow, 1985. The Soviet Union and its communist
regime are in its last stages of decline but remain opaque to
the rest of the world and still very dangerous. The knives
are out among operatives in the government to preserve
power within the chaos. In this ever-shifting landscape, a
senior KGB officer - code name GAMBIT - has approached
the CIA Moscow Station chief with top secret military
weapons intelligence and asks to have himself, and his
family, exfiltrated. GAMBIT demands that his handler
be a former CIA officer, Alex Garin, who previous to his
position in the CIA had been a KGB officer who defected
to the American side.
The CIA had never successfully exfiltrated a KGB officer
from Moscow, and the top brass does not trust Garin. But
they have no other options: GAMBIT’s secrets could be the
deciding factor in winning the Cold War.

AMERICAN SHERLOCKS

Stories from the Golden Age of the American Detective

Sherlock Holmes is the most famous of all fictional detectives
but, across the Atlantic, he had plenty of rivals. Between
1890 and 1920, American writers created dozens and dozens
of crime-solvers. This thrilling, unusual anthology features
stories about 15 of them, including Professor Augustus SFX
Van Dusen, ‘The Thinking Machine’, even more cerebral
than Holmes; Craig Kennedy, the so-called ‘scientific
detective’; Uncle Abner, a shrewd backwoodsman in pre-
Civil War Virginia; Violet Strange, New York debutante
turned criminologist; and Nick Carter, the original pulp
private eye. Editor Nick Rennison gathers together often
neglected tales which highlight American crime fiction’s
early years.

WHEN WE FALL
CAROLYN KIRBY

England, 1943. Lost in fog, pilot Vee Katchatourian is
forced to make an emergency landing where she meets
enigmatic RAF airman Stefan Bergel, and then can’t get
him out of her mind.
In occupied Poland, Ewa Hartman hosts German officers
in her father’s guest house, while secretly gathering
intelligence for the Polish resistance. Mourning her lover,
Stefan, who was captured by the Soviets at the start of the
war, Ewa is shocked to see him on the street one day.
Haunted by a terrible choice he made in captivity, Stefan
asks Vee and Ewa to help him expose one of the darkest
secrets of the war. But it is not clear where everyone’s
loyalties lie until they are tested...
Based on the WWII war atrocity that became known as
the Katyn Massacre, When We Fall is a moving story of
three lives forever altered by one fatal choice.

BECOMING MR NICE
THE HOWARD MARKS ARCHIVE

AMBER MARKS

The million-selling Mr Nice was one of the most
successful non-fiction books of the last three decades,
the ultimate cult book. Now, Howard Marks’s daughter,
the writer and lawyer Amber Marks, has collated
and curated highlights from Howard’s extensive and
previously unseen personal archive. This beautifully
illustrated and designed book, including over 200
photographs and images, will be essential reading for
Mr Nice’s legion of fans worldwide.

The book features jottings, drawings and photographs
from Howard’s Welsh childhood, treasured mementos
and correspondence from the psychedelic scene at Oxford
University and revolutionary 1960s London, philosophical
ramblings, dodgy smuggling references on the backs
of envelopes and a fascinating typescript account by
Howard of his time on the run in the 1970s. In addition,
it includes hilarious transcripts and surveillance exhibits
from Howard’s trial at the Old Bailey in 1981, records of
the international surveillance operation mounted against
Howard at the height of the war on drugs, heartbreaking
first-hand accounts of his and Judy’s arrest in 1988, plus
the hitherto undisclosed defence Howard had prepared to
run before pleading guilty and being sentenced to twenty
five years imprisonment in one of the USA’s toughest
penitentiaries. It also contains telephone transcripts of
coded smuggling transactions, false identity documents,
unpublished prison writings, and records of his rise to
fame upon release in Loaded Britain.

THE LAST TAXI DRIVER
LEE DURKEE

The Last Taxi Driver is a darkly comic novel about a day in
the life of an exhausted, middle-aged hackie about to lose
his job to Uber, his girlfriend to lethargy, and his ability to
stand upright to chronic back spasms. Lou – a lapsed novelist
and UFO enthusiast who has returned to his home state of
Mississippi after decades away – drives for a ramshackle
taxi company that operates on the outskirts of a college
town among the trailer parks and housing projects. With
Lou’s way of life fast vanishing, an ex-dispatcher resurfaces
in town on the lam, triggering a bedlam shift which will
test Lou’s sanity and perhaps cost him his life. Against this
backdrop, Lou has to keep driving, and driving – even if
that means aiding and abetting the host of criminal misfits
haunting the back seat of his Town Car.
Written by a former cabbie, The Last Taxi Driver
careens through the highways and backroads of North
Mississippi as Lou becomes increasingly somnambulant
and his fares increasingly eccentric. Equal parts
Bukowski and Portis, Durkee’s novel is an homage to a
dying American industry.

     ‘Much of what makes Lee Durkee’s novel
  so delightful and surprising is his ability to dig
    beneath the surface of this funny, well-told
    odyssey, which channels a Shakespearean
    tragedy. This twenty-year follow up to his

FOREGONE
RUSSELL BANKS

A searing novel about memory, abandonment, and
betrayal from the acclaimed Russell Banks

At the centre of Foregone is famed Canadian American leftist
documentary filmmaker Leonard Fife, one of sixty thousand
draft evaders and deserters who fled to Canada to avoid
serving in Vietnam. Fife, now in his late seventies, is dying
of cancer in Montreal and has agreed to a final interview
in which he is determined to bare all his secrets at last, to
demythologise his mythologised life. The interview is filmed
by his acolyte and ex–star student, Malcolm MacLeod, in
the presence of Fife’s wife and alongside Malcolm’s producer,
cinematographer, and sound technician, all of whom have
long admired Fife but who must now absorb the meaning of
his astonishing, dark confession.
                                                                    ∙∙∙ US & CANADA COVER ∙∙∙
Imaginatively structured around Fife’s secret memories
and alternating between the experiences of the characters
who are filming his confession, the novel challenges our
assumptions and understanding about a significant lost
chapter in American history and the nature of memory
itself. Russell Banks gives us a daring and resonant work
about the scope of one man’s mysterious life, revealed
through the fragments of his recovered past.

THE BONES OF WOLFE
JAMES CARLOS BL AKE

Rudy and Frank Wolfe are engaging in routine
miscellaneous business – some legitimate and some less
so – for their family when they stumble upon a stash
of high-quality pornographic films in a raid. The plot
thickens when their Aunt Catalina, the family matriarch
aged 115, recognises a resemblance to her long-lost sister in
one of the young performers. Catalina tasks the boys with
tracking the girl down, however improbable a connection
may be. This proves to be no simple task.
Soon, Rudy and Frank find themselves moving away from the
world of porn and towards the upper echelons of the Sinaloa
drug cartel, where the mysterious woman has become a
particular favourite of the head narco. For their aunt, the
woman, and themselves, Frank and Rudy must find a way to
extract her from the cartel. A tropical storm threatens their
plan but their widespread and steadfast family stands ready
to assist them every deadly mile of the way.
Ever daring and innovative, and assisted by the family’s
ready resources, the Wolfe brothers must run the highest
