Midnight Streets by Phil Lecomber<\/strong><\/p>\n

A pacy, evocative dark historical thriller about a working-class private detective in 1920s London\u2019s Soho, who has grown up alongside the morally dubious characters who are key to cracking the cases he investigates, for fans of Laura Shepherd Robinson and the TV series Peaky Blinders.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Cockney private detective George Harley saves a young girl\u2019s life on a dark London night in 1929, he doesn\u2019t realise it marks the beginning of an investigation which will change his life forever. The incendiary book which inspired the girl\u2019s abduction also seems to be linked to a series of grisly murders that are taking place on Harley\u2019s patch, and though he\u2019s delighted to be asked by Scotland Yard to help find the killer before they strike again, he could do without the local razor- and cosh-wielding mobsters thinking he\u2019s in the police\u2019s pocket.<\/p>\n

Set during the Golden Age of Crime Fiction, Harley\u2019s world is a far cry from the country house of an Agatha Christie whodunnit. This working-class sleuth does his \u2018sherlocking\u2019 in the frowsy alleyways and sleazy nightclubs of Soho \u2013 the city\u2019s underbelly \u2013 peopled with lowlife ponces, jaded streetwalkers, and Jewish and Maltese gangsters: a world of grubby bedsits, all-night caf\u00e9s, egg and chips, and Gold Flake cigarettes.<\/p>\n

Here, the midnight streets are black as pitch and, as Harley finds himself embroiled in the macabre mysteries of a city in which truth is as murky as the pea-souper smog and the sins are as dark as stout porter beer, he begins to realise he may never find a way out.<\/p>\n

Husband Missing by Lisa Regan<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fear prickles her skin.\u00a0\u201cNoah?\u201d Photos and trinkets from their simple but perfect life together litter the carpet. The coffee table is cracked, blood along its edges. She should be taking in details, but her heart is racing too fast. A strangled cry works its way from Josie\u2019s chest. Where is her husband?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Detective Josie Quinn<\/strong>\u2019s world shatters when she returns home to find her house ransacked, and her husband,\u00a0Noah<\/strong>, missing. When she kissed him goodbye hours earlier, called to the discovery of a woman\u2019s body at a protest, they were putting the finishing touches to a nursery for their first adopted child. But now the house is empty, Noah\u2019s bloodied handprints trailing the walls.<\/p>\n

Every fiber of Josie\u2019s being screams to investigate. But her team warn her to keep her distance as they follow a connection to a recent robbery in Denton. But Josie can\u2019t quiet the voice telling her the handprints Noah left are leading her somewhere, and the trail ends at an upturned box of her long-dead abusive mother\u2019s possessions: faded photos, jewelry, a lock of hair, and a few old newspaper clippings.<\/p>\n

Beside herself with worry for Noah, and unexpectedly confronted by the trauma of her past, Josie throws herself into work. The woman\u2019s body found during a demonstration outside a children\u2019s hospital belongs to\u00a0Gina Phelan<\/strong>, daughter of the powerful and influential Phelan family. Trawling the CCTV is a welcome distraction, but everything changes the moment fingerprints from the knife that wounded Gina match to prints found in Josie\u2019s own home.<\/p>\n

Her head spinning as the two cases collide, Josie\u2019s only option is to delve into the life of the monster who terrorized her as a child.\u00a0The key to everything is hidden in the box of her mother\u2019s mementoes. But is Josie strong enough and fast enough to find it in time? And at what devastating cost to those she loves most?<\/strong><\/p>\n

An Extremely Unlikely Death by Hannah Hendy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Murder is the only paw-sible explanation\u2026<\/p>\n

During a routine welfare check, the police find local shop owner Mr Fitzgerald at the foot of his stairs, dead. There is broken glass over the floor of his shop, his dog has been locked in the kitchenette cupboard, and on the counter is an envelope addressed to Mrs and Mrs Margery and Clementine Butcher-Baker \u2013 The Dinner Lady Detectives.<\/p>\n

As the town mourns Mr Fitzgerald\u2019s death as an unfortunate accident, Margery and Clementine cannot shake the sense that there is something suspicious about the scene. They are convinced this was no accident. But why would anybody want to harm an elderly shopkeeper? And with the culprit still at large, and determined to cover their tracks, can they get to the bottom of the case before there is another victim?<\/p>\n

Killer Potential by Hannah Deitch<\/strong><\/p>\n

Decisions were made: I made them. Violence was done: I did it. Crime scenes were fled: I fled them. People were hurt: I hurt them. Someone was loved: I loved them. Not everything I did was bad. Just most of it.<\/strong><\/p>\n


<\/strong>A scholarship kid with straight As and massive potential, Evie Gordon always thought she was special, that she\u2019d be someone.<\/p>\n

But after graduating from an elite university, she finds herself drowning in debt and working as a private tutor to the children of Los Angeles\u2019s super-rich.<\/p>\n

Everything changes when Evie arrives at the Victor family\u2019s lavish mansion for her weekly lesson to discover, not the bored teenager she excepted, but pure carnage: the bloody remains of Mr and Mrs Victor sullying their beautiful back garden, and a woman crying for help from within the walls of the house.<\/p>\n

Within moments, Evie and the woman go from bystanders to suspects to fugitives.<\/p>\n

Suddenly at the heart of a nation-wide manhunt, Evie finds that her mysterious companion, who refuses to speak, has quickly become the most important person in her upside-down life. Meanwhile, the press runs wild with Evie\u2019s story \u2013 anointing her the new Charles Manson, a blood thirsty ninety-nine percenter looking to start a class war.<\/p>\n

Evie is \u2013 finally and disastrously \u2013 someone.<\/p>\n

Droll, dark and deeply insightful,\u00a0Killer Potential\u00a0<\/em>is an edge-of-your-seat break-neck ride, a queer love story, and a darkly funny critique of the horrors of late capitalism and how the stories we\u2019re sold about our potential can shape the course of our lives.<\/p>\n

Stop Me If You\u2019ve Heard This One by Kristen Arnett <\/strong><\/p>\n

Cherry Hendricks might be down on her luck, but she can write the book on what makes something funny: she\u2019s a professional clown who creates raucous, zany fun at gigs all over Orlando. Between clowning and her shifts at an aquarium store for extra cash, she\u2019s always hustling. Not to mention balancing her judgmental mother, her messy love life, and her equally messy community of fellow performers.<\/p>\n

Things start looking up when Cherry meets Margot the Magnificent \u2013 a much older lesbian magician \u2013 who seems to have worked out the lines between art, business, and life, and has a slick, successful career to prove it. With Margot\u2019s mentorship and industry connections, Cherry is sure to take her art to the next level. Plus, Margot is sexy as hell. It\u2019s not long before Cherry must decide how much she\u2019s willing to risk for Margot and for her own explosive new act \u2013 and what kind of clown she wants to be under her suit.<\/p>\n

Equal parts bravado, tenderness and humour, and bursting with misfits, magicians and mimes,\u00a0Stop Me If You\u2019ve Heard This One<\/em>\u00a0is a masterpiece of comedic fiction that asks big questions about art and performance, friendship and community, and the importance of timing in jokes and in life.<\/p>\n

Everything Will Swallow You by Tom Cox<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have you ever been curious about how people live when nobody is watching? Have you wondered whether there\u2019s more going on than meets the eye?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eric and Carl live in Dorset in a small white cottage under the shadow of a big cliff. Eric sells old records and antiques. Carl cooks, cleans and crochets. Nearing seventy, Eric is a lifelong accumulator of obscure objects whose easygoing, chaotic approach to life masks some of the unaddressed sadness of his past. The significantly younger Carl is an old soul who has a sophisticated emotional intelligence and likes swimming, mid-century female novelists, fibre arts and Dolly Parton. If you passed them on a walk, you may not pay them much attention. Most likely you would see Carl\u2019s long floppy ears, tail and fur and mistake him for a dog.<\/p>\n

The story of Eric and Carl\u2019s friendship spans twenty-one years: a constant anchor in a changing world. During that time they adopt an eccentric, unlikely gang of fellow travellers. Their wanderings through South West England unfold against a backdrop of lived, local folklore and hints at future apocalypse. All the while, Carl\u2019s true nature remains a closely guarded secret.<\/p>\n

As tourists pour into town for the annual fishing tournament, Mylie is in her element and ready to bring her all-women team to victory.<\/p>\n

After moving to Chicago,\u00a0Ben\u00a0never thought he would return to Clay Creek. But with both his grandfather and mother gone, he\u2019s left to deal with their estate. His plan is simple: come in quietly, fix up his lakeside childhood home, sell it quickly, and get out. He underestimates how quickly his arrival will stir up the local gossip, and how intensely his unresolved feelings for Mylie, his childhood best friend, will resurface.<\/p>\n

Something Borrowed, Something You by Vi Keeland<\/strong><\/p>\n

My relationship with Hunter Delucia started backwards.<\/p>\n

We met at a wedding\u2013him sitting on the groom\u2019s side, me sitting on the bride\u2019s. Stealing glances at each other throughout the night, there was no denying an intense, mutual attraction.<\/p>\n

He suggested we explore the chemistry sparking between us.\u00a0<\/strong>His blunt, dirty mouth should\u2019ve turned me off. But for some crazy reason, it had the opposite effect on me.<\/p>\n

We ended up back in my hotel room. The next morning, I flew home leaving him behind in California with the wrong number.<\/p>\n

I thought about him often, but after my last relationship, I\u2019d sworn off of charming, cocky, gorgeous-as-sin men. A year later, Hunter and I met again. Our attraction hadn\u2019t dulled one bit. This time, he demanded a real phone number. So I left him with my mother\u2019s. She could scare away any man with her talks of babies and marriage<\/p>\n

But the following week he rang the bell at Mom\u2019s house for Sunday night dinner. The crazy, gorgeous man had won over my mother and taken an eight-week assignment in my city. He proposed we spend that time screwing each other out of our systems.<\/p>\n

Eight weeks of mind-blowing sex with no strings attached?
It was just sex, not love.<\/p>\n

But you know what they say about the best\u00a0laid\u00a0<\/em>plans\u2026<\/p>\n

Formerly published in a different form under the title Sex, Not Love in 2017.<\/em><\/p>\n
