  A fugitive sister. A dangerous father. A terror cell hiding in plain sight. 
   
   
  Kit McCarthy hasn't seen her identical twin sister, Billie, in more than a decade. 
   
  The sisters don't see eye to eye, which is understandable, considering Kit's a police officer and Billie followed their violent father into a life of crime. 
   
  Kit is no angel. Burnt out by years working in child protection, she has been accused of using excessive force in the arrest of a violent drunk. Kit has just been ordered to take time off work when she gets a frantic message from Billie, telling her she has a young son and that somebody is trying to kill her. 
   
  And then Billie disappears. 
   
  Determined to find her estranged sister, Kit's only lead comes after visiting their father in prison. Malcolm McCarthy claims Billie married a former United States Marine and has been living with a group of sovereign citizens in the desert country of the New South Wales Riverina. 
   
  Kit's journey to find Billie takes her through shuttered towns destroyed by drought, where everybody owns guns, nobody talks to cops, and people get lost for a reason. 
   
  Out here a war is brewing between a ruthless bikie gang and a separatist community that is re-engaging with society in the most violent way. 
   
  Kit will risk everything to find her sister and the nephew she never knew she had. 
   
  But does Billie really want to be saved?

  Acclaimed as one of Joseph Conrad's finest literary achievements, this gripping novel deftly depicts the political turmoil of nineteenth-century Russia and follows the dramatic developments in the life of a student, Razumov, as he prepares for a career in the czarist bureaucracy.    In a plot that twists and turns, Razumov unwittingly becomes embroiled in a revolutionary conspiracy when he gives refuge to a fellow student who assassinated a public official. Increasingly enmeshed in the radical's political intrigue, he betrays the anarchist who had placed blind faith in him. The authorities then dispatch Razumov on a mission to spy on the revolutionary's sister and mother.    A fascinating character study, Under Western Eyes hauntingly reveals Razumov's preoccupation with questions of decency and accountability when confronted by the equally powerful truths and values of human integrity and moral strength.

  "The Welcome Centre" is a chilling modern retelling of Sweeney Todd set in contemporary London, where charity becomes a mask for systematic murder. The story follows Marcus Lovett, a disgraced NHS surgeon who transforms a Victorian building in Bermondsey into what appears to be a beacon of hope for homeless youth aged 16-25. 
  Beginning in early 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic, the Welcome Centre presents itself as a privately funded facility offering genuine support to London's most vulnerable young people. Marcus, stripped of his medical license after a fatal surgical error caused by substance abuse, partners with Eleanor Blackwood, a former crematorium manager, and Dr. Sarah Chen, an addicted surgeon, to create an elaborate facade hiding a sophisticated organ trafficking operation. 
  The pandemic provides perfect cover for their crimes. With social services overwhelmed and oversight reduced, the Centre systematically identifies residents with valuable organs, murders them in a basement surgical suite, and sells their organs to international buyers for millions of pounds. Bodies are disposed of through corrupt crematorium contacts, leaving no trace of the victims. 
  Seventeen-year-old Lily Morrison becomes suspicious when residents repeatedly disappear without explanation. Her investigation uncovers financial records proving the organ sales, but her discovery puts her in mortal danger. Meanwhile, the arrival of Sarah Morrison, whose aunt Kate is a Metropolitan Police detective, creates an unexpected complication for the operation. 
  As Lily faces imminent death in Dr. Chen's surgical suite, Sarah's desperate phone call to her aunt triggers an armed police response. The dramatic rescue exposes one of Britain's most shocking criminal enterprises, revealing that 73 young people had been murdered over 14 months. 
  The story follows the investigation, trial, and aftermath, exploring themes of exploitation, societal failure to protect the vulnerable.
