The day before her daughter Debbie’s wedding, Gail has just quit her job (or was let go – whichever) when ex-husband Max shows up on her Baltimore doorstep, with an old cat in a carrier and no wedding suit.
A novella to gladden the heart, peopled by… well, real people. At 83, this Pulitzer Prize-winning author may or may not be the best writer in the world, but one thing is for sure: no one can out-Tyler Tyler.

Just a year after investigating one suspicious death, Danish art historian Torben Helle is confronted with another, when the body of his mentor, feisty septuagenarian Dame Charlotte Lazerton, is found at the foot of her stairs.
The police write it off as an accident; Torben isn’t so sure. An absolute corker, highly improbable, hugely enjoyable, an ingenious blend of Nordic noir and hygge crime.

Almost 40 years after his seminal courtroom novel Presumed Innocent, and 15 years on from the sequel Innocent, Turow returns to fictional midwestern Kindle County to take up again with retired lawyer and judge Rozat (‘Rusty’) Sabich.
Rusty knows all too well that sometimes justice just isn’t. Now he must demolish the prosecution’s racially biased but seemingly unassailable case against his fiancée’s adopted son, Aaron, who stands charged with the murder of his girlfriend, Mae.
Another forensically plotted, hair-raising read from the brilliant attorney-author, not for nothing known as the ‘father of the legal thriller’.
