Book SynopsisThe third volume in the New York Times best-selling Cradle series! Lindon has a year left. When his time runs out, he’ll have to fight an opponent that no one believes he can beat. Unless he learns the magic of the sacred arts the right way, from scratch, he won’t have a chance to win…and even then, the odds are against him. In the course of their training, Lindon and Yerin travel to the Blackflame Empire, where they struggle to master an ancient power. Success means a chance at life, but failure means death. In the sacred arts, only those who risk the most can travel far. SERIES DESCRIPTION The Cradle series is the best-selling example of the Progression Fantasy subgenre, which includes works of fantasy where the primary plot revolves around a character growing more powerful in their use of magic. Cradle is high-stakes, fast-paced, and action-focused, with minimal time dedicated to world-building, and as such the books are lean and focused. The series is often compared to anime, with fans using phrases like “anime in book form” or “fantasy novels meet Dragon Ball Z,” emphasizing the story’s specialty of loud and colorful super-powered battles.

Book SynopsisSince before the dawn of memory, one thing has defined human history: the war between ninjas and yakuzas. This coarse and manly manga follows two members of these warring tribes who fill the gutters of modern Tokyo with blood to determine which elemental force will reign supreme!An outrageous new action series, like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure meets Fist of the North Star!Shinoha is a frickin' NINJA. He can't even smile because of a dark trauma in his past that you'll find out about later. But for now, what you need to know is, he kicks ass and can kill so many guys. Kiwami, on the other hand, looks like a regular business guy, but actually he's a flipping YAKUZA. Everyone knows ninjas and yakuzas have been at war for three hundred years, so when Kiwami and Shinoha meet, it's like, fwoosh, slice, kabloop, stab stab stab... My point is, this manga has REAL ULTIMATE POWER and, if you read it? Maybe you can too.

HarperCollins Publishers Sunday at the Cross Bones
Book SynopsisA kaleidoscopic journey through post-World War I London in the footsteps of the real-life Rector of Stiffkey – a story by turns funny, moving and scandalous.Trade Review'John Walsh propels his narrative forward with irresistible vigour and delineates a host of entertaining characters with broad strokes of a brush heavily charged with primary colours.' Francis King, Literary Review 'Walsh gets the tragicomic tone just right and his description of the tawdry 1930's London is thoroughly enjoyable.' Daily Telegraph 'The narrative of “Sunday at the Cross Bones” is as lively and ambiguous as its main character…Pacy and entertaining, elegantly written, funny yet ultimately tragic, “Sunday at the Cross Bones” is full of hypocrisies and moral ambiguities. The abiding impression is of a very irritating man punished out of all proportions to his actual wrong-doing.' Times Literary Supplement ‘The pleasures of comic fiction lie in the accomplishment of the writing and Walsh's enjoyable novel not only thrills with its regular top-ups of verbal Viagra, but hints at a darker subtext.’ Independent 'Like Peter Ackroyd, Walsh demonstrates an intimate knowledge of London and the unique spirit of place that permeates different nooks and crannies of the city…Walsh captures dialect brilliantly from the cockney 'innit'-speak of the rector's protégées to the patronising but ever-so-polished tone of his Mayfair benefactress…Though we know how the story ends, there is a dreadful fascination in following it to the end of the journey.' Sunday Business Post 'If the secret of novel-writing is to find a voice, then John Walsh has cracked it in this entertaining comic novel…There is a lot here, much of it extremely funny, about the allure of hosiery.'

One can only look forward to the next Metro Girl adventure in the – fairly certain – knowledge that it will be as good as this one.’ The Times ‘Good fun.’ Sunday Telegraph ‘This latest won’t disappoint… the jokes are great and the dialogue is as tight and honed as a South Beach sunbather’s buns… sizzles along.’ Marie Claire ‘This book has fast-lane fun written all over it… ‘Metro Girl’ is so full of innuendo and sexy sunshine, you’ll forget it’s cold and miserable outside.’ Cosmopolitan

This is crime-writing for grown-ups’ Sunday Telegraph ‘The last in the fine quartet… a fitting end to an absorbing, well-written series’ The Times ‘A writer of sharp psychological insights…. This is the final book in Wilson’s much-acclaimed Javier Falcon quartet… but such is the skill with which he has drawn us into Javier Falcon’s world that he is leaving us hungry for more forays into Seville’s dangerous underworld’ Daily Express ‘[Wilson] has given the twists and turns of a thriller a pleasingly idiosyncratic national context, as the crooks on the Costa del Sol invade Seville’ TLS ‘A hard-edged finale to a crime series that succeeds in being shocking and sensitive, intriguing and electrifying, all at the same time’ Northern Echo ‘His writing is always trenchant and pity, his characters heroic and damaged, his descriptions of Spain resonant and prescient. A great contemporary thriller’ Catholic Herald
