From the New York Times bestselling author of Slow Horses and now an Original Series from Apple TV starring Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson. Diamond Dagger winner Mick Herron's debut novel introduces Sarah Tucker, whose search for a missing child unravels a murderous conspiracy. This deluxe edition of a modern classic includes a foreword by Emma Thompson and discussion questions for book clubs. It's an evening like any other when an explosion rips through the leafy Oxford suburb Sarah Tucker calls home. In the aftermath, a house now stands devastated, with two adults dead and a young girl missing. Frustrated by the police, who seem more interested in keeping the neighbors from rubbernecking than in searching for the missing child, Sarah becomes obsessed with finding her, and enlists the help of Oxford private investigator Zoë Boehm. But their search reveals more secrets than answers. As Zoë and Sarah draw closer to the truth, they are caught in a web of conspiracy and come up against government forces, cold-blooded mercenaries and vengeful loners. Down Cemetery Road, the first book in the Zoë Boehm series, is CWA Diamond Dagger winner Mick Herron's debut novel.

In search for hegemonic leadership in post-World War II, the U. S. aimed at "winning the minds and hearts" of the cultural elites abroad through cultural diplomacy as an axis complementary with traditional diplomacy: federal agencies such as the USIA, as well as universities and philanthropic institutions developed initiatives-exchange of students and leaders; the Fulbright Program; military and technical assistance; promotion of the English language, TV, and Hollywood-that exported an ideology: the American dream. The book studies the U.S. conflicted relationship with Argentina through the unexpected rapprochment led by President Perón in 1953 and the unstable politics afterwards, within the context of the Cold War in Latin America. The impact of the transnational "sites of contact" for cultural exchange created by the American initiative went beyond the U. S. foreign policy goals, however; and very often the emerging local elite of institutions and professionals associated to the "more modern" American cultural field got involved in local and international political conflicts that contributed to its own division and bore contradictory diplomatic consequences.

“Riveting, original, and chillingly plausible, Kill Show is both an urgent reckoning with the ethics of true crime and a tense mystery in its own right. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough.”—Flynn Berry, Edgar Award–winning author of Northern Spy When sixteen-year-old Sara Parcell goes missing, it's an utter tragedy—and an entertaining national obsession—in this thoughtful and addictively readable novel that offers a fresh and provocative take on whodunits and true crime. Sara Parcell disappeared without a trace on a crisp April morning in Frederick, Maryland. Her tragic story was a national obsession and the centerpiece of a controversial television docuseries that followed her disappearance in real time. But is it possible that everyone missed the biggest secret of all? Ten years after these events, the people who knew Sara best are finally ready to talk. In this genre-bending novel, Daniel Sweren-Becker fashions an oral history around the seemingly familiar crime of a teenage girl gone missing. Yet Kill Show, filled with diabolical twists and provocative social commentary, is no standard mystery. Through “interviews” with family members, neighbors, law enforcement, television executives, and a host of other compelling characters, Sweren-Becker constructs a riveting tale about one family's tragedy—and Hollywood's insatiable desire to exploit it. By revealing the seedy underbelly of the true crime entertainment machine, Kill Show probes literary territory beyond the bounds of the standard whodunit; it's a thoughtful exploration into America's obsession with the mysteries, cold cases, and violent tales we turn to for comfort. Groundbreaking, fast-moving, and informed, this is a novel about who's really responsible for the tragedies we love to consume.

Ein herzlicher, komischer und zutiefst befriedigender Debütroman der Bestsellerautorin, Singer-Songwriterin, Mitglied der Canadian Music Hall of Fame und Star ihrer eigenen erfolgreichen TV-Sitcom. Ein bisschen wie „All Creatures Great and Small“, ein bisschen wie „Fargo“ und ganz Jann Arden! Auf der verfluchten Farm von Harp Bittlemore, versteckt in den Backhills, läuft seit langem nichts mehr richtig. Die Ernten wachsen nicht, die Schweine und Hühner bleiben dünn, und die drei alten Milchkühe, Berle, Crilla und Dally, sind so verzweifelt, dass sie einen Fluchtplan schmieden. Das Einzige, was sie zurückhält, ist der Gedanke, die junge Willa zu verlassen, den einzigen Lichtblick in ihrem Leben, seit ihre ältere Schwester Margaret weggelaufen ist. Doch Willa Bittlemore, die gerade 14 wird, plant ihre eigene Rebellion. Irgendetwas stimmt nicht mit der Geschichte, die ihr über ihre vermisste Schwester erzählt wurde, und sie beginnt zu hinterfragen, ob ihre schrecklichen Eltern überhaupt ihre Eltern sind. Gerade als die Dinge wirklich eskalieren, beginnt ein junger, engagierter Polizist, einen Cold Case zu untersuchen, der einen vor 28 Jahren aus einem kleinen Landkrankenhaus gestohlenen Säugling betrifft, und Willa und die Kühe erfahren, wie weit die Bittlemores gehen werden, um ein schwelendes Geheimnis zu schützen. Geschrieben mit Janns unverwechselbarem, skurrilem Humor und voller ihrer bodenständigen Weisheit, ist „The Bittlemores“ ein ländliches Märchen, eine Coming-of-Age-Geschichte und ein Prärie-Mysterium in einem, durchtränkt von ihren Beobachtungen der Welt, in der sie aufgewachsen ist, und ihrer tiefen Verbindung zu den Tieren, die wir ausbeuten. Dieses Wunderwerk eines Debütromans gräbt sich in die Frage ein, wie Menschen so grausam werden können, feiert aber auch das Wunder menschlicher Güte.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Ellen Hopkins comes a new heartbreakingly tender middle grade novel in verse about the bonds between two brothers and the love they share. Now in paperback. Twelve-year-old Trace Reynolds has always looked up to his brother, mostly because Will, who's five years older, has never looked down on him. It was Will who taught Trace to ride a bike, would watch sports on TV with him, and cheer him on at Little League. But when Will was knocked out cold during a football game, resulting in a brain injury—everything changed. Now, seventeen months later, their family is still living under the weight of "the incident," that left Will with a facial tic, depression, and an anger he cannot always control. Afraid of further fracturing his family, Trace begins to cover for Will who, struggling with addiction to pain medication, becomes someone Trace doesn’t recognize. But when the brother he loves so much becomes more and more withdrawn, and escalates to stealing money and ditching school, Trace realizes some secrets cannot be kept.

A BEST BOOK PICK BY * HARPER'S BAZAAR * ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY "Will sweep you off your feet." —PopSugar In this witty and heartwarming romantic comedy—for fans of Red, White & Royal Blue and Heated Rivalry—an awkward tech wunderkind on a reality dating show goes off-script when sparks fly with his producer. Dev Deshpande has always believed in fairy tales. So it's no wonder then that he's spent his career crafting them on the long-running reality dating show Ever After. As the most successful producer in the franchise's history, Dev always scripts the perfect love story for his contestants, even as his own love life crashes and burns. But then the show casts disgraced tech wunderkind Charlie Winshaw as its star. Charlie is far from the romantic Prince Charming Ever After expects. He doesn't believe in true love, and only agreed to the show as a last-ditch effort to rehabilitate his image. In front of the cameras, he's a stiff, anxious mess with no idea how to date twenty women on national television. Behind the scenes, he's cold, awkward, and emotionally closed-off. As Dev fights to get Charlie to connect with the contestants on a whirlwind, worldwide tour, they begin to open up to each other, and Charlie realizes he has better chemistry with Dev than with any of his female co-stars. But even reality TV has a script, and in order to find to happily ever after, they'll have to reconsider whose love story gets told.

Looking-Glass Wars: Spies on British Screens since 1960 is a detailed historical and critical overview of espionage in British film and television in the important period since 1960. From that date, the British spy screen was transformed under the influence of the tremendous success of James Bond in the cinema (the spy thriller), and of the new-style spy writing of John le Carré and Len Deighton (the espionage story). In the 1960s, there developed a popular cycle of spy thrillers in the cinema and on television. The new study looks in detail at the cycle which in previous work has been largely neglected in favour of the James Bond films. The study also brings new attention to espionage on British television and popular secret agent series such as Spy Trap, Quiller and The Sandbaggers. It also gives attention to the more ‘realistic’ representation of spying in the film and television adaptations of le Carré and Deighton, and other dramas with a more serious intent. In addition, there is wholly original attention given to ‘nostalgic’ spy fictions on screen, adaptations of classic stories of espionage which were popular in the late 1970s and through the 1980s, and to ‘historical’ spy fiction, dramas which treated ‘real’ cases of espionage and their characters, most notably the notorious Cambridge Spies. Detailed attention is also given to the ‘secret state’ thriller, a cycle of paranoid screen dramas in the 1980s which portrayed the intelligence services in a conspiratorial light, best understood as a reaction to excessive official secrecy and anxieties about an unregulated security service. The study is brought up-to-date with an examination of screen espionage in Britain since the end of the Cold War. The approach is empirical and historical. The study examines the production and reception, literary and historical contexts of the films and dramas. It is the first detailed overview of the British spy screen in its crucial period since the 1960s and provides fresh attention to spy films, series and serials never previously considered.

Syvert is on his way back to his wife and two sons after a work trip when his car breaks down outside Arendal and he has to spend the night in the city. It is winter and bitterly cold; ice covers the strait all the way to the sea, so thick that cars can drive on it. There, almost home, but caught up in memories of his doomed love affair with Asya, a space opens between the known and the unknown, both in the city, as Syvert wanders the streets in the dark, and within him. Arendal is a novel about impossible love and impossible life, about ships of the dead, fire and ice, dizzying starry skies and a man trying to find his foothold in the world.

The New York Times bestselling author of the brilliantly inventive The Word Is Murder and The Sentence Is Death returns with his third literary whodunit featuring intrepid detectives Hawthorne and Horowitz. When Ex-Detective Inspector Daniel Hawthorne and his sidekick, author Anthony Horowitz, are invited to an exclusive literary festival on Alderney, an idyllic island off the south coast of England, they don't expect to find themselves in the middle of murder investigation?or to be trapped with a cold-blooded killer in a remote place with a murky, haunted past. Arriving on Alderney, Hawthorne and Horowitz soon meet the festival's other guests?an eccentric gathering that includes a bestselling children's author, a French poet, a TV chef turned cookbook author, a blind psychic, and a war historian?along with a group of ornery locals embroiled in an escalating feud over a disruptive power line. When a local grandee is found dead under mysterious circumstances, Hawthorne and Horowitz become embroiled in the case. The island is locked down, no one is allowed on or off, and it soon becomes horribly clear that a murderer lurks in their midst. But who? Both a brilliant satire on the world of books and writers and an immensely enjoyable locked-room mystery, A Line to Kill is a triumph?a riddle of a story full of brilliant misdirection, beautifully set-out clues, and diabolically clever denouements.

Step through the shop window and into the forgotten world of the mice on the mouse organ — brought to life once more in this never-before-released collection of charming short stories by Bagpuss creator Oliver Postgate. In the original television series Bagpuss, a group of resourceful little mice would emerge from a carved wooden mouse organ to mend, bake, or cause gentle chaos — often singing their famous tune, "We will fix it, we will mend it." These stories, recorded privately by Postgate himself, imagine what happened when the shop was quiet, the lights went out, and the mice went on their own adventures. From Grandfather Clock and Flying Yaffle to The China Pig, Sledging, Raindrops and The Lawnmower, this rare and remarkable anthology captures the secret life of the mice in thirty whimsical, warm-hearted tales. Mischievous, miniature, and endlessly curious, the mice craft inventions, battle the cold, explore distant lands, and navigate everyday mysteries — always with kindness, teamwork, and a touch of mischief. Discovered among Postgate's personal recordings and digitally remastered for this edition, Mouse Tales preserves his unmistakable storytelling voice — both literally and figuratively. It is a time capsule of imagination, and a love letter to those gentle moments that still resonate with listeners of all ages. Whether you're a lifelong fan of Bagpuss or discovering these stories for the first time, this audiobook offers a magical journey into the miniature world of the mouse organ — where even the tiniest creatures have the biggest adventures.

THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING MEMOIR OF SPY-WRITING LEGEND JOHN LE CARR É *NOW A MAJOR APPLE TV MOTION PICTURE* 'As recognizable a writer as Dickens or Austen' Financial Times From his years serving in British Intelligence during the Cold War to a career as a writer, John le Carré has lived a unique life. In this, his first memoir, le Carré is as funny as he is incisive - reading into the events he witnesses the same moral ambiguity with which he imbues his novels.

Best of all, le Carré gives us a glimpse of a writer's journey over more than six decades, and his own hunt for the human spark that has given so much life and heart to his fictional characters. 'No other writer has charted - pitilessly for politicians but thrillingly for readers - the public and secret histories of his times' Guardian 'When I was under house arrest I was helped by the books of John le Carré . . . These were the journeys that made me feel that I was not really cut off from the rest of humankind' Aung San Suu Kyi
