A NEW YORK TIMES MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2026 'AFFECTING' TELEGRAPH 'ENGROSSING' ECONOMIST 'MIRACULOUS' WIRED 'MORE THAN CRIME REPORTAGE' WALL STREET JOURNAL When his mother fell for an 'American soldier' who promised to send gold bars to their Madrid apartment, Carlos Barragán found himself with an unexpected window into the shadowy world of online romance fraud. He set off on a journey to find his mother's scammer, but what he discovered was much bigger: a world of young Nigerian men who drag themselves out of destitution by catfishing lonely hearts in the US and Europe, in the process building a dizzying local economy from their phones. The Yahoo Boys follows four scammers in Ikotun - one of Lagos's poorest neighbourhoods, a scant ten miles from the gleaming heart of the megacity. Through their twisting fortunes, Barragán discovers the psychological tactics they perfect, the economic desperation that drives them, and the moral dilemmas they face. A work of radical empathy, this astonishing narrative nonfiction debut reveals the human face behind a global phenomenon, and shows how isolation in the West and poverty in Nigeria are just two sides of the same screen.

Pre-order HIDE AND SEEK, the first standalone thriller from Chris Carter, coming July 2026! FIRST HE TAKES YOU. THEN HE BREAKS YOU. The 13th adrenaline-packed Robert Hunter thriller and Top Ten Sunday Times bestseller . . . 'Gruesome but utterly riveting - and all the more so for being at least partly true' Daily Mail 'Dark, chilling and full of clever little plot kinks designed to send the reader off on a wild goose chase - and succeeding' Crime Fiction Lover 'Prepare to be terrified' Crime Monthly It should have been a routine autopsy on a straightforward hit-and-run. It should have been an open and shut case. It shouldn't have led them to a serial killer - or put one of their own in danger. When the LA Chief Medical Examiner, Dr Carolyn Hove, discovers some inconsistencies in a routine autopsy, she calls in Detective Robert Hunter of the LAPD Ultra Violent Crimes Unit. Not only was the victim not killed in a hit-and-run, but Dr Hove also found signs that they'd been severely tortured prior to death. Their investigation leads Hunter and his partner, Carlos Garcia, on the trail of a twisted and clever killer who hides in plain sight. A serial killer no one even knew existed - a killer who has always operated under the radar, expertly disguising every gruesome murder as an accidental death. But how do you investigate a murder when you have no victims? How do you catch a killer who leaves behind no crime scene? How do you stop a ghost who no one can prove even exists? Readers can't get enough of The Death Watcher . . . (5 star reviews) 'Take a deep breath, gird your loins and dive in!' 'Brilliantly written and will keep you guessing....READ IT !!' 'Brilliant. Couldn't stop reading it - except when my eyes were telling me I had to!' 'A fab read, as always!' 'There is no other writer like Chris Carter! This book is no exception, I love it!'

Ford Madox Ford's great masterpiece exploring love and identity during the First World War, in a Penguin Classics edition with an introduction by Julian Barnes. A masterly novel of destruction and regeneration, Parade's End follows the story of aristocrat Christopher Tietjens as his world is shattered by the First World War. Tracing the psychological damage inflicted by battle, the collapse of England's secure Edwardian values - embodied in Christopher's wife, the beautiful, cruel socialite Sylvia - and the beginning of a new age, epitomized by the suffragette Valentine Wannop, Parade's End is an elegy for both the war dead and the passing of a way of life. Ford Madox Ford (1873-1939) served with the British army in World War I, an experience that was to form the basis of his novel Parade's End, published in four parts from 1924 to 1928. He wrote over eighty books, including The Good Soldier (1915), and divided his time between England, France and America. Julian Barnes' most recent novel is The Sense of An Ending, for which he won the 2012 Man Booker prize. His other books include Flaubert's Parrot, A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters and Arthur and George. 'The finest English novel about the Great War' Malcolm Bradbury 'The best novel by a British writer ... It is also the finest novel about the First World War. It is also the finest novel about the nature of British society' Anthony Burgess 'There are not many English novels which deserve to be called great: Parade's End is one of them' W.H. Auden 'The English prose masterpiece of the time' William Carlos Williams

Allen Ginsberg was the bard of the beat generation, and Howl, Kaddish and Other Poems is a collection of his finest work published in Penguin Modern Classics, including 'Howl', whose vindication at an obscenity trial was a watershed moment in twentieth-century history. 'I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked' Beat movement icon and visionary poet, Allen Ginsberg broke boundaries with his fearless, pyrotechnic verse. This new collection brings together the famous poems that made his name as a defining figure of the counterculture. They include the apocalyptic 'Howl', which became the subject of an obscenity trial when it was first published in 1956; the moving lament for his dead mother, 'Kaddish'; the searing indictment of his homeland, 'America'; and the confessional 'Mescaline'. Dark, ecstatic and rhapsodic, they show why Ginsberg was one of the most influential poets of the twentieth century. Allen Ginsberg (1926-97) was an American poet, best known for the poem 'Howl' (1956), celebrating his friends of the Beat Generation and attacking what he saw as the destructive forces of materialism and conformity in the United States at the time. He was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters, was awarded the medal of Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Minister of Culture, won the National Book Award for The Fall of America and was a co-founder of the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at the Naropa Institute, the first accredited Buddhist college in the Western world. If you enjoyed Howl, Kaddish and Other Poems, you might like Jack Kerouac's On the Road, also available in Penguin Modern Classics. 'The poem that defined a generation' Guardian on 'Howl' 'He avoids nothing but experiences it to the hilt' William Carlos Williams

“Practical. Encouraging. Motivating. God is the greatest giver of all, so it makes sense that He loves to honor stunning generosity. Double Blessing challenges us to reframe our perception of blessing, seeing God’s gifts as opportunities for increased generosity. Mark Batterson calls all of us to not only receive God’s blessings but also to excellently use what we’ve been given to bring glory to God and grace to those around us.” —Louie Giglio, pastor of Passion City Church, founder of Passion Conferences, author of Not Forsaken “I love Mark Batterson’s transparency about his own journey toward incredible generosity. And his practical advice in Double Blessing will get you up and moving in the right direction before you know it. But I’ll warn you to keep a pen handy. He’s got some great one-liners that you’ll want to remember—and probably claim as your own!” —Dave Ramsey, best-selling author and nationally syndicated radio show host “ Double Blessing is a genuine, powerful nudge toward God’s bighearted way. It will spark wonder and hope, leaving you ready to bless others through your blessings. That is the best way to live!” —Bob Goff, author of the New York Times bestsellers Love Does and Everybody, Always “The word blessed has been hijacked to mean something completely different from what God intended. In Double Blessing, Mark takes us to the root of the word and shows us how much better for us God’s true blessing is than anything the world could ever give.” —Carlos Whittaker, author of Kill the Spider “Through pure honesty and authenticity, Mark Batterson in Double Blessing reminds us of God’s powerful call for us to bless others through the blessings that we’ve received and to remain generous through all occasions. When these principles of giving and receiving are put into practice, we glorify God and make a tremendous impact on the lives of others.” —Roma Downey, actress, producer, and New York Times best-selling author “In this book, Mark Batterson has tapped into two things I am very passionate about: giving and prayer. If we all shift our focus from what we can get to what we can give, then God will, as Malachi 3:10 says, ‘open the floodgates of heaven’ in our lives.” —David Green, CEO of Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. “In Double Blessing, Mark Batterson skillfully describes the nature of a loving and compassionate Father who naturally desires to bless His children beyond their wildest dreams. Batterson simultaneously underscores the personal responsibility of believers to live obedient and benevolent lives. Your desire to discover and walk in your birthright as a believer will increase exponentially in reading this book, as will your desire to be a blessing unto others.” —John K. Jenkins Sr., pastor of First Baptist Church of Glenarden, Maryland “Whenever Mark teaches or writes, we are wise to listen or read. He seems to sense what we need to learn. This book is no exception. Thanks, Mark.” —Max Lucado, pastor and best-selling author of How Happiness Happens “God has blessed Mark Batterson with the spiritual vision and godly insight to provide every reader with clear direction through Double Blessing. Receiving a blessing is wonderful, but receiving a double blessing is what God desires for us to enjoy and embrace.” —Kevin Warren, commissioner-elect of the Big Ten Conference

This book is packed with innovative ideas and techniques to help do just that." -Carlos Slim, Mexican Business Magnate and Philanthropist "Brand and Retail marketing today is data intensive. ??Understanding the data, and extracting meaningful insights from it, requires not just algorithms and math, but a deep understanding of the mechanisms of motivation.

I found this to be a truly illuminating guidebook on how to use AI and machine learning for those purposes." -Raja Rajamannar, Chief Marketing & Communications Officer and President, Healthcare Business, Mastercard "Fashion defies prediction, but cost-effective delivery requires it. Applying AI to get at the non-conscious drivers that impact consumers gives companies like ours a competitive advantage. Reading this book is the first step to getting there." -Stef Strack, CEO Rag & Bone, New York "Now brands and retailers can think like a customer versus just thinking about the customer AI for Marketing and Product Innovation arms leaders with the information they need for applying artificial intelligence and machine learning to win in today's digital era." -Kevin Turner, CEO of Core Scientific, and Vice Chairman, Albertsons Companies, LLC.??
