Saraband Moscow at Midnight
Book SynopsisMax Rushmore is re-hired by the CIA to return to Moscow and investigate the death of a beautiful nuclear waste disposal expert. But Max, who can drink even the Russians under the table, soon uncovers all sorts of inconsistencies: could it even be that she is not dead at all? So begins a game of cat-and-mouse that takes Max across Russia, from St Petersburg to Novosibirsk, as he follows his only clue: a rare Siberian diamond. With all the breathless tension of classic espionage novels, Moscow at Midnight is both humorous and utterly enthralling - in every sense, a fast-paced pageturner of the old school.Trade Review“This playful spy thriller has Max, out on his ear from the CIA, picking up some dodgy contract work that sends him back to his former stamping ground. But contemporary Russia, where Max finds his old contacts clinging on, turns out to be so deliriously weird and dangerous that Cold War espionage starts to look simply. There’s grimy charm, acerbic wit and an OTT plot – but in Russia these days, you could well believe it.” Sunday Times Crime Club – Star pick for September 2017; “Moscow at Midnight is a highly entertaining contemporary spy thriller. The fast-paced plot and light, easy flow of the narrative is enhanced...by occasional poetic descriptions and McGrane's skillful play with genre conventions... I would highly recommend it for a fun, entertaining read which raises questions in the reader’s mind long after the final page has been turned.” Ann Winter, Mslexia; “Sally McGrane’s fantastic debut . . . is, in its observations and marginalia, a whole-hearted declaration of love for the madness of Russia in general – and Moscow in particular.” Die Welt (book of the week); “A worthy successor to John le Carré ... A fast-paced, well-written spy thriller, full of unexpected twists and turns.” Buchbord; “Great! Tense right up to the final page . . . A multi-layered, thrilling novel that is difficult to resist and hard to put down, from beginning to end.” Süddeutsche Zeitung; "You don't need to compare this book to Le Carré or Forsyth – it stands very comfortably on its own two feet." Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung; “The book is perfect anyone who loves exciting detective and spy stories.”Sankt Michaelsbund; "Novels about Russia written by foreign authors very often are so full of clichés, absurdities and just crap that usually I avoid reading them. Sally McGrane’s book is different. This journalist-turned-writer knows Russia well – and is sharing her knowledge generously." Boris Akunin; “Sally McGrane made it feel so genuine that for a moment we really believed in the existence of blue diamonds discovered in Siberia on orders from Stalin. Outstanding.” Irina Borogan and Andrei Soldatov, authors of The Red Web; "Everyone's talking about Russia but this is a book that really takes you there, a crime thriller with a truly documentary eye, full of insights about Russian people, politics and culture- while never failing to intrigue and excite" Peter Pomerantsev, author of Nothing is True and Everything is Possible.

ACA Publishing Limited The Spring in Winter: Volume 1
Book SynopsisHow many decades does a man have to run to extricate himself from the consequences of a troubled past? A guerrilla act many years ago still has repercussions for Yu Erlong and his family, colleagues and rivals. From the death of a comrade 30 years ago, to family life and political rivalries, Yu Erlong strives to be fair and just, even when others have less honourable intentions, motivated by personalities and acts separated by many decades. The struggle of a grandfather and grandson to capture a prized red carp mirrors the battle of wits needed when encountering adversaries who reappear after many years. The memories of Luhua, the love he lost, the new life he makes for himself around Stone lake, his friends and his foes, are all beautifully choreographed in Spring in Winter. Spring in Winter, originally published in Chinese in 1981 when it won the prestigious 'Mao Dun Literature Prize', was one of the first novels in China to use the 'stream of consciousness technique' more often seen in Western literature. Author Li Guowen interweaves his enchanting tale against the dramatic backdrop of decades of struggle and fighting that prevailed in China from 1937 until after the end of the Cultural Revolution in 1976.

ACA Publishing Limited Spring in Winter: Volume 2

V & Q Books Odesa at Dawn: 2022
Book SynopsisEx-CIA man Max Rushmore travels to a still-peaceful Odesa on routine assignment. But things veer off course when the severed hand of the local governor shows up in a vat of sunflower oil. Max stumbles across a solitary toe, with the same tell-tale markings. The downsized professional can't help himself - he has to investigate. With the Russian threat in the background, Max's quest takes him down to the crumbling underbelly of the beautiful Black Sea port city, once the Russian Empire's glittering third capital. It leads him to dubious businessmen, corrupt officials, catacomb dwellers, scientists, pastry-chefs, poets, archivists, cops - and killers. As global political tensions rise, Max begins to untangle the threads of the case. But he is also being tracked - and not just by Odesa's network of mafia-minded stray cats, who may be the only ones who really know what's going on. In this surreal contemporary spin on the classic spy thriller, Sally McGrane pays tribute to one-time Odesa residents like Babel, Gogol, Pushkin and Chekhov, creating a darkly witty, beguiling and bizarre work of fiction like nothing before. Tokarczuk meets Bulgakov meets Le Carre, in this affectionate portrait of a complex and fascinating city. "Odesa at Dawn lives in that special place where noir meets the absurd. If you cherish that space - and why wouldn't you? - this book is for you." Dan Vyleta, author of Soot and Smoke; "By turns sober, then wild and mysterious, with occasional excursions into the fantastic. As if Lewis Carroll's Alice and Isaac Babel's legendary gangster Benya Krik had met up for new tales from Odesa." Peter Koerte, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung; "A political thriller with feline protagonists? Can that possibly work? It shouldn't, but in the case of Sally McGrane's Odesa at Dawn it does. Very well, in fact." Deutschlandfunk KulturTrade Review"As befits any book set in Odesa, Sally McGrane's smart new thriller bristles with dark humour, slinking along and zigzagging through its plot like one of the city's streetwise felines. Come for the story, but don't forget to take in the sights." Boris Dralyuk, poet and translator of Isaac Babel

Starford has penned both a beguiling tale of espionage and a noteworthy commentary on torn loyalties and the unthinkable choices of war." — Pam Jenoff, author of THE ORPHAN'S TALE and THE LOST GIRLS OF PARIS “A well-crafted spy novel examines the perils of espionage’s foundation in personal relationships. . . . The intriguing story of a young woman’s espionage career during World War II weaves in a critique of the British class system. . . . The book is rich with historical details, right down to clothing styles and furnishings. . . .The novel’s depiction of Evelyn’s career is exciting, but it also suggests the human cost: No matter how skilled her performances, to those above her in the social hierarchy, she’s expendable.” — Kirkus Reviews “Prepare to fall in awe with Evelyn Varley, the titular unexpected MI5 agent in this fast-paced thriller filled with more twists than a bag of pretzels. Set during World War II, memoirist Starford's fiction debut is a must-read for historical fiction buffs.” — E! Online “A fast paced tale with plenty of plot twists and enough complexity to place it somewhere between a historical genre novel and a literary thriller.” — The Guardian “A beguiling and compelling tale of an otherwise ordinary women, an unlikely spy caught between the personal and the political in the machine of war.” — The Age (Australia) “Class and ideologies collide in Starford’s consummate debut, a clever combination of home front drama and espionage thriller….The author does an excellent job of recreating London before, during, and after the war, and in Evelyn has created a complex heroine whose sense of duty gets her in way over her head. With suspense worthy of Hitchcock and a moral reckoning straight out of Le Carré or Graham Greene, this is a winner." — Publishers Weekly “[A] subtle yet moving story of personal and professional camouflage, of hidden selves fearing the light.” — Booklist “An Unlikely Spy gripped me to the end: I devoured it. Rebecca Starford has created an exceptional novel about World War II, bringing 1940s England to life in formidable, compelling detail and thrusting the reader into a world of wartime spies, betrayal and surprising revelation. What a rare treat to find a novel that offers both white-knuckled suspense and evocative, beautiful prose. I loved it.” — Hannah Kent, author of Burial Rites “Rebecca Starford seems to be the inheritor of the cool, narrative elegance of Graham Greene and John le Carré. Her building of the tale to reach the critical moral apogee of this book seems effortless, and she has found a fascinating and unexpected World War II corner of espionage and intelligence to exploit for a plot that runs like milk and honey.” — Thomas Keneally, author of Schindler’s List “A poignantly rendered narrative map of one woman's journey from misfit to spy—and a thought-provoking examination of the gently human desires that lay the groundwork for pernicious extremism. Rebecca Starford has given us a rousing reminder of the power of our choices.” — Juliet Grames, author of The Seven or Eight Deaths of Stella Fortuna
