*From the creator of SLOW HORSES and soon to be a major TV series starring Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson* 'If you haven't read Zoë Boehm yet, welcome to your next fiction addiction' Val McDermid, author of Past Lying 'This is one of these novels where you read it, not just to see what happens at the end, but to see what happens on the very next page' Booklist When a body is hauled from the River Tyne, Sarah Tucker heads to Newcastle for a closer look. She identifies the dead woman as private detective Zoë Boehm, but putting a name to the corpse only raises further questions. Did Zoë kill herself, or did one of her old cases come back to haunt her? Why was she wearing the jacket a murderer had stolen years before? And what's brought Sarah's former sparring partner Gerard Inchon to the same broken-down hotel where she's staying? Coincidence is an excuse that soon appears pretty unconvincing. Sarah can't leave until she's found the answers to her questions, however dangerous they might turn out to be.

Emma Bovary, a doctor's wife, has a highly romanticized view of the world and craves beauty, wealth, passion, and high society. The disparity between these romantic ideals and the realities of her country life lead her into extramarital love affairs as well as causing her to accrue an insurmountable amount of debt. The book, loosely based on the life story of a school friend who had become a doctor, was written at the urging of friends, who were trying to cure Flaubert of his Romanticism by assigning him the dreariest subject they could think of, and challenging him to make it interesting.When it was first serialized in La Revue de Paris, the novel was attacked for obscenity by public prosecutors. Flaubert's masterpiece is now considered a seminal work of Realism and one of the most influential novels ever written.

What if the truth you have been searching for has been hidden in your own village for thirty years? A Village Mystery of Betrayal, Hidden Truths, and the Harvest That Changed Everything When journalist Emma Whitmore returns to Maple Hollow to write about its famous Threshing Day festival, she expects a simple story about farming traditions and small-town history. Instead, she discovers a mystery that the village has spent decades trying to forget. Thirty years ago, farmer James Reed vanished during the annual Threshing Day celebration. Everyone believed he left without explanation, but the discovery of a hidden diary reveals a different story-one filled with betrayal, illegal land deals, and secrets buried beneath the peaceful fields of Maple Hollow. As Emma follows the clues left behind by the missing farmer, she uncovers a web of hidden truths connecting powerful families, old friendships, and her own mother's forgotten past. The closer she gets to the answer, the more she realizes that some people will do anything to keep the truth buried. The Secrets of Threshing Day is a gripping rural mystery about loyalty, betrayal, family secrets, and the courage to uncover a past that refuses to stay hidden. A forgotten farmer. A buried secret. A village that must finally face the truth. Some secrets never stay buried.

Izumi Suzuki had ideas about doing things differently, ideas that paid little attention to the laws of physics, or the laws of the land. In this new collection, her skewed imagination distorts and enhances some of the classic concepts of science fiction and fantasy. A philandering husband receives a bestial punishment from a wife with her own secrets to keep; a music lover finds herself in a timeline both familiar and as wrong as can be; a misfit band of space pirates discover a mysterious baby among the stars; Emma, the Bovary-like character from one of Suzuki's stories in Terminal Boredom, lands herself in a bizarre romantic pickle. Wryly anarchic and deeply imaginative, Suzuki was a writer like no other. These eleven stories offer readers the opportunity to delve deeper in this singular writer's work.
