Set in the MI5 world of Slow Horses, now an Apple Original series from Apple TV+ starring Gary Oldman and Kristin Scott Thomas.Two years ago, a hostile prime minister launched the Monochrome inquiry, investigating “historical over-reaching” by the British Secret Service. Monochrome’s mission was to ferret out any hint of misconduct by any MI5 officer—and allowed Griselda Fleet and Malcolm Kyle, the two civil servants seconded to the project, unfettered access to any and all confidential information in the Service archives in order to do so.But MI5’s formidable First Desk did not become Britain’s top spy by accident, and she has successfully thwarted the inquiry at every turn. Now the administration that created Monochrome has been ousted, the investigation is a total bust—and Griselda and Malcolm are stuck watching as their career prospects are washed away by the pounding London rain.Until the eve of Monochrome’s shuttering, when an MI5 case file appears without explanation. It is the buried history of a classified operation in 1994 Berlin—an operation that ended in tragedy and scandal, whose cover-up has rewritten thirty years of Service history.The Secret Hours is a dazzling entry point into Mick Herron’s body of work, a standalone spy thriller that is at once unnerving, poignant, and laugh-out-loud funny. It is also the breathtaking secret history that Slough House fans have been waiting for.

Rare Bird Books The Plinko Bounce
Book SynopsisNew York Times Best Thriller of 2023New York Times Editors' Pick 2023For seventeen years, small-town public defender Andy Hughes has been underpaid to look after the poor, the addicted, and the unfortunate souls who constantly cycle through the courts, charged with petty crimes. Then, in the summer of 2020, he’s assigned to a grotesque murder case that brings national media focus to rural Patrick County, Virginia—Alicia Benson, the wife of a wealthy businessman, is murdered in her home. The accused killer, Damian Bullins, is a cunning felon with a long history of violence, and he confesses to the police. He even admits his guilt to Andy. But a simple typographical error and a shocking discovery begin to complicate the state’s case, making it possible Bullins might escape punishment. Duty-bound to give his client a thorough defense, Andy—despite his misgivings—agrees to fight for a not-guilty verdict, a decision that will ultimately force him to make profound, life-and-death choices, both inside and outside the courtroom. With its unforgettable characters, spot-on blueprint of the justice system, intricate plotting, and provocative, no-holds-barred ending, The Plinko Bounce demonstrates once again why Martin Clark has been called “the thinking man’s John Grisham” by The New York Times and praised as “hands down, our finest legal-thriller writer” by Entertainment Weekly.Trade ReviewPRAISE FOR THE PLINKO BOUNCE"Terrific. Clark brings an insider's knowledge of the intricacies of the courtroom and an evenhanded, unflashy authority to his writing."—The New York Times"Martin Clark injects life into a topsy-turvy murder case in rural Virginia as only he can in this propulsive tour de force, which had me riveted from beginning to end."—Beth Macy, author of Dopesick and Raising Lazarus "What I love about the novels of Martin Clark is how smart they are — about the law, of course: The Plinko Bounce is a legal thriller, after all. But he’s just as smart about people, their attachments and losses, and what drives us to assume our roles in the murky moral mess that’s life."—Daniel Wallace, author of Big Fish and This Isn’t Going to End Well"The Plinko Bounce is jam-packed with crime, murder, old wounds, new thrills, disillusionment and the mayhem that ensues when dumb mistakes are made by well-meaning people. What a gift to readers on Judge Clark's 23rd anniversary in literary show business! We remain agog at his skill, mastery, and moxie. Martin's canon, which dredges the reader in heartbreak and roils us in hilarity, has a permanent place of honor in American Literature. Martin Clark is a master craftsman who exalts the genre of legal thriller to heavenly heights. Ain't nobody following him that will ever do better. That right there would be impossible. Trust me."—Adriana Trigiani, author of The Good Left Undone and Big Stone Gap“Martin Clark is back stronger than ever. With all the legal tomfoolery of Better Call Saul and the dutiful heart of Longmire, The Plinko Bounce underscores why I’ve been an ardent Clark fan since the beginning. The man can write, he’s funny as hell, and his words stand tall with hard-won integrity.”—Matthew Quick, New York Times bestselling author of The Silver Linings Playbook and We Are the Light“The Plinko Bounce is a masterful take on crime and the court system that’s imbued with rich characterization and resonant circumstance. More than a high-stakes legal drama, it’s a story of attorney and client, father and son, man and woman, heart and head...and few people have the capacity to capture this more powerfully than Martin Clark.”—Criminal Element “Clark knows how to write a riveting, page-turning legal thriller, with a surprise or two for his readers. Andy Hughes [is] a character sure to linger in readers’ minds long after the last page.” —Southern Literary ReviewPRAISE FOR MARTIN CLARK“Clark is not only the thinking man’s John Grisham but, maybe better, the drinking man’s John Grisham.” —The New York Times “Hands down, our finest legal-thriller writer.” —Entertainment Weekly“Completely original. Martin Clark knows how to write and spin a great yarn.” —Nelson DeMille“Clark has a diabolical imagination, which he employs brilliantly. To his unconventional thrillers, he brings a keen understanding of high principles as well as the realistic nuts and bolts of the legal profession.” —Greensboro News and Record“A truly original writer.”—David Baldacci“Martin Clark is the new standard against which other works of legal fiction should be judged.” —Winston-Salem Journal“A bold new voice in thrillers.” —Los Angeles Times"This is writing at its best—for this genre or any other—and one is almost tempted to urge the author to discard his black robe as a real-life circuit court judge and devote himself full-time to writing.” —Charlottesville Daily Progress“Astonishing literary skill. Clark [is] a master of dialogue and a brilliant scene painter.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch“Clark’s trademark is witty prose and mind-bending legal plotting.” —The Seattle Review of Books“Master of colorful legal thrillers.” —BOOK CITY Roanoke“If you order a ‘Martin Clark’ at your local library or bookstore, be prepared: It packs a wallop. It’s so intoxicating that it doesn’t just dazzle Clark’s reviewers, it inspires them.” —Raleigh News and Observer “Part John Grisham, part Hunter S. Thompson and part sheer grit…” —Denver Post“If you’re a fan of legal thrillers and don’t know the name Martin Clark, it could be considered negligent, if not a criminal offense, in some circles.” —Criminal Element

Book SynopsisKen Follett regresa al thriller con una emocionante novela que imagina lo inimaginable: la inminente amenaza de una Tercera Guerra Mundial.Desde el abrasador desierto del Sáhara hasta el Ala Oeste de la Casa Blanca y los corredores del poder de las grandes capitales del mundo, el maestro de la narrativa de acción y suspense imagina un escenario de crisis global sin precedentes en el que un pequeño grupo de personajes comprometidos y tenaces lucha en una carrera contrarreloj.Nunca es un thriller extraordinario, lleno de heroínas y villanos, falsos profetas, agentes de élite, políticos desencantados y cínicos revolucionarios. Envía un mensaje de advertencia para nuestros tiempos y presenta una historia intensa y trepidante que transporta a los lectores hasta el filo de lo inimaginable.«Cuando me documentaba para La caída de los gigantes me impactó darme cuenta de que la Primera Guerra Mundial fue una guerra que nadie quería. Ningún líder europeo de ninguno de los dos bandos tenía intención de que sucediera. Pero, uno por uno, los emperadores y primeros ministros, sin pretender la guerra, tomaron decisiones -decisiones lógicas y moderadas- que nos acercaron un pasito más a uno de los conflictos más terribles que el mundo ha conocido. Y me pregunté: podría suceder de nuevo?» KEN FOLLETTENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe new must-read epic from master storyteller Ken Follett: more than a thriller, it’s an action-packed, globe-spanning drama set in the present day. “A compelling story, and only too realistic.” —Lawrence H. Summers, former U.S. Treasury Secretary“Every catastrophe begins with a little problem that doesn’t get fixed.” So says Pauline Green, president of the United States, in Follett’s nerve-racking drama of international tension. A shrinking oasis in the Sahara Desert; a stolen US Army drone; an uninhabited Japanese island; and one country’s secret stash of deadly chemical poisons: all these play roles in a relentlessly escalating crisis. Struggling to prevent the outbreak of world war are a young woman intelligence officer; a spy working undercover with jihadists; a brilliant Chinese spymaster; and Pauline herself, beleaguered by a populist rival for the next president election.Never is an extraordinary novel, full of heroines and villains, false prophets and elite warriors, jaded politicians and opportunistic revolutionaries. It brims with cautionary wisdom for our times, and a delivers a visceral, heart-pounding read that transports readers to the brink of the unimaginable.

She remembers what song was playing on the radio the first time he hurt her. And she remembers what was playing through her headphones the first time she killed.Trade Review"... merging the best of apocalyptic fiction and science fiction... compelling."

Booklist"This was one of the most original books I have read in a long time. I was completely transfixed from beginning to end. This book gets a perfect score." Feathered Quill Award Judges"...this new series has the potential to render popular franchises like the Hunger Games, the Maze Runner, and Divergent as mere forerunners in the genre." jathanandheather.com"A riveting novel that grabs attention, crafts a realistic, thoroughly engrossing scenario, and probes the roots of tyranny and forces that work against impossible odds towards elusive freedom.

Monique Snyman, Bram Stoker Awards Nominee"Gareth Worthington delves into the mind of a female serial killer that is moved only by music as she tries to get away with murder.

Booklocker.com For The Common Good
Book SynopsisBeing gay in 2036 America is treacherous: same-sex marriage is again illegal, homosexual teachers are banned from classrooms - merely being outed will ruin your social responsibility score, your career, and probably your life. But that''s not enough, according to the Reverend Jimmy Goodfellow and his Christian Kingdom. For him, only Project Exodus, and its fabricated threat of a mutated AIDS pandemic, can purge the homosexual menace once and for all.Telegenic young senator Chaise Landon is anointed by Goodfellow and the three leaders of the nation''s mega-corporations, an alliance known as "the Quad," to become the next President of the United States. Fearing that boiling resentment over both inequality and faded opportunity will imperil their tightly controlled surveillance state, the Quad has turned to Landon as the kinder, more reasonable façade they need to maintain a grip on power.There''s just one problem - none of them knows Landon himself is gay.When Exodus launches, U.S. troops force a million gay Americans into detention camps. Second Amendment militias help with the round-up and patrol the streets. And in response, illegal protests fill town squares across the land.Meanwhile, Landon, his nomination by the ruling Republican Party firmly in hand, blazes his own path on the campaign trail, imploring his countrymen to reject hatred and embrace hope.Will Chaise''s optimism prevail in a society paralyzed by fear? When the Quad learns Landon is gay, how do they stop the new threat posed by their ill-chosen political savior? Will the gay underground, which doesn''t yet know the senator''s true self, stop him even before the Quad? And can anyone undo Reverend Goodfellow''s maniacal project?The choices are about more than simply power itself, more than the future of the nation - they are about what truly is the common good. And for many, the outcome is a matter of life and death itself.Using his experience with presidential campaigns, as a debate partner and surrogate speaker for a U.S. senator, as a health care attorney, and as a gay man, Truscott Jones probes the homosexual experience, beyond romance, to the struggles, uncertainties and fears of simply being gay in a country of fluctuating acceptance - exploring what grows in the cultural petri dish of an "Us" versus "Them" society.

American University in Cairo Press History of Ash: A Novel
Book SynopsisA BEST NEW BOOK OF 2023 (THE NEW ARAB)A NOTABLE AFRICAN BOOK OF 2023 (BRITTLE PAPER)An unforgettable and eviscerating novel of human frailty, brutality, and resistance as told through the first-person prison narratives of a man and a womanHistory of Ash is a fictional prison account narrated by Mouline and Leila, who have been imprisoned for their political activities during the so-called Lead Years of the 1970s and 1980s in Morocco, a period that was characterized by heavy state repression. Moving between past and present, between experiences lived inside the prison cell and outside it, in the torture chamber and the judicial system, and the challenges they faced upon their release, Mouline and Leila describe their strategies for survival and resistance in lucid, often searing detail, and reassess their political engagements and the movements in which they are involved. Written with compassion and insight, History of Ash speaks to human brutality, resilience, and the power of the human spirit. It succeeds in both documenting the prison experience and humanizing it, while ultimately holding out the promise of redemption through a new generation.Trade Review"Intense and intimate, Marouazi writes with explicit detail, compassion, and urgency. While this is a fictional account, the realities of this era of heavy state repression in Morocco and the anguish of those unjustly imprisoned are felt acutely in her brilliant prose."—The New Arab"An exceptional book. The author probes a forbidden, hidden world, traversing the realities of women political activists and the atrocities Arab women witnessed as they worked alongside political and cultural elites."—Samar Yazbek, author of Planet of Clay and The Crossing“Khadija Marouazi’s History of Ash tells a powerful story of erasure and loss. Her weapon is dark satire—the peasant who does not know he belongs to a secret organization, the women who after bravely fighting for their civil rights can still poke fun at themselves despite the cruelty of their incarceration, and the mouse who sits atop a list of a secret organization's personnel. This book is like an open wound, but it is woven together with love and passion. And it is well worth reading.”—Youssef Fadel, author of A Rare Blue Bird Flies with Me"Marouazi's novel shows a bold willingness to lay bare a harsh Morocco that we hope we have left behind, keenly and thoughtfully exposed by Elinsons’s sensitive translation.”—Yassin Adnan, author of Hot Maroc"Unique and compelling"—R. Shareah Taleghani, author of Readings In Syrian Prison Literature"Path-blazing"—Brahim El Guabli, Williams College"History of Ash does not disappoint. In this devastating, lyrical novel of struggle, two prisoners in Morocco, a man and a woman, narrate their journey of resistance, imprisonment, and release during the 'Lead Years' of the 1970s and 80s."—CrimeReads"A tragicomedy that challenges the silence of the darkness, the hissing of cold walls, the creaking of rusty doors, and the restlessness of keychains in the morning and at sunset." —Elfikr"Not only does the author lay bare the suffering which goes on in prison, but she also writes about the repercussions of arrest on others as a group and as individuals." —Al-Hewar

Book SynopsisA defense attorney is prepared to play. But is she a pawn in a master’s deadly match? A twisting novel of suspense by New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni. Keera Duggan was building a solid reputation as a Seattle prosecutor, until her romantic relationship with a senior colleague ended badly. For the competitive former chess prodigy, returning to her family’s failing criminal defense law firm to work for her father is the best shot she has. With the right moves, she hopes to restore the family’s reputation, her relationship with her father, and her career.

There’s little hard evidence against him, but considering the couple’s impending and potentially nasty divorce, LaRussa faces life in prison. The prosecutor is equally challenging: Miller Ambrose, Keera’s former lover, who’s eager to destroy her in court on her first homicide defense. As Keera and her team follow the evidence, they uncover a complicated and deadly game that’s more than Keera bargained for. When shocking information turns the case upside down, Keera must decide between her duty to her client, her family’s legacy, and her own future.Trade ReviewPraise for Her Deadly Game “Fast-paced legal-intrigue gold that could be improved only by kicking off a new series.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Twist-filled.…John Grisham fans will be pleased.” —Publishers Weekly “Fans of legal thrillers and crime thrillers will enjoy this tense, pacy page-turner.

Book SynopsisNew York Times Editors' Choice Debutiful Best Book of the Year One of Crimereads Best Crime Novels of 2023 ?Hertz has managed to tell a story of queer healing with all the narrative force of a thriller and the searing fury of an indictment.? The New York Times Book Review A fearless debut novel of resilience, transcendence, and the elusive promise of justice.Growing up in suburban New York, Dylan lived through the unfathomable: three years as a victim of sex trafficking at the hands of Vincent, a troubled young man who promised to marry Dylan when he turned eighteen. Years later long after a police investigation that went nowhere, and after the statute of limitations for the crimes perpetrated against him have run out the long shadow of Dylan's trauma still looms over the fragile life in the city he's managed to build with his fiance, Moans, who knows little of Dylan's past. His continued existence depends upon an all-important mantra: To survive, you live through it, but never look back. Then a groundbreaking new law the Child Victims Act opens a new way foreword: a one-year window during which Dylan can sue his abusers. But for someone who was trafficked as a child, does money represent justice does his pain have a price? As Dylan is forced to look back at what happened to him and try to make sense of his past, he begins to explore a drug and sex-fueled world of bathhouses, clubs, and strangers' apartments, only to emerge, barely alive, with a new clarity of purpose: a righteous determination to gaze, unflinching, upon the brutal men whose faces have haunted him for a decade, and to extract justice on his own terms. ?Hertz writes with a powerful blend of publicly experienced scene and deeply private interiority...[he] expertly presents both the rapturous facade of post-closet gay life and the cracks in its hastily constructed foundation,? (Slant). Hertz's debut is ?cathartic and revelatory...[and] a gritty recovery story that packs a punch? (The Bay Area Reporter). It offers a startling glimpse at the unraveling of trauma and the light that peeks, faintly, and often in surprising ways, from the other side of the window.
