Sinopsis

In Unravelled Knots, Baroness Orczy returns to the enigmatic figure of the Old Man in the Corner — the shabby, eccentric sleuth who solves baffling mysteries without ever leaving his teashop chair. With only his sharp intellect and a piece of string he knots absentmindedly, he untangles cases that have stumped the police and confounded the courts. From stolen jewels to sinister murders, each tale reveals hidden motives and overlooked clues, culminating in clever, unexpected solutions. This final collection is both a celebration of Orczy's pioneering detective and a masterclass in logical reasoning, cementing the Old Man's place alongside Sherlock Holmes as one of the earliest icons of mystery fiction.

    Can you hear it? Can you hear his song? He is coming… 
     
    The quiet northern Swedish town of Kurrajakk is rocked when a popular teenager is found dead, mounted on a sacrificial altar, body covered in strange cuts, a crow shoved down his throat. Rumours begin to swirl. A local ghost story, Krakornås Kung, The King Of Crows, is back. 
     
    Jamie left the Violent Crimes department in Stockholm to rebuild her life. Her body. Her mind. To get away from cases like this. But Jamie can’t let injustice go unpunished – and now, she’s all out of compassion. The King may think Kurrjakk is his for the taking, but he’s never met Jamie Johansson. 
     
    As strange occurrences begin to plague the town, the residents are whipped into paranoia. Jamie and her new partner must race to unmask the King, but find themselves at the centre of a deadly game. The rules are simple – survive. But when your greatest enemy is your own mind, winning isn’t so easy… 
     
    Death Chorus is the fourth novel in the DI Jamie Johansson series, and the chilling follow-up to Old Blood.

    A high-ranking scientist has been kidnapped, and a secret British intelligence agency has just recruited Deighton’s iconic unnamed protagonist—later christened Harry Palmer—to find out why. His search begins in a grimy Soho club and brings him to the other side of the world. When he ends up amongst the Soviets in Beirut, what seemed a straightforward mission turns into something far more sinister. 
     
    With its sardonic, cool, working-class hero, Len Deighton’s sensational debut and first bestseller The Ipcress File broke the mold of thriller writing and became the defining novel of 1960s London.

    When forensic psychologist Dr. Mara Vexley wakes up in the hospital wing of an abandoned mental facility with no memory of how she got there, she’s told she was found wandering the island shoreline, barefoot and covered in blood. But the blood isn’t hers and the patient she was sent to evaluate, a mute serial arsonist named Jonas Vale, is missing. Mara begins to piece together fragments of her fractured memory as strange clues surface: cryptic journal entries in her handwriting, security footage that skips whenever Jonas appears, and a string of fires starting again across the mainland. The deeper she digs, the more she questions her sanity and whether she’s here to stop Jonas, or help him. But someone doesn’t want her to remember. And the island isn’t just isolated it’s rigged to trap anyone who tries to leave. As Mara’s mind begins to unravel, she must decide: is she the hunter… or the hunted?

    'Losing your head' just got a lot more literal. 
    Green witch Rhianne Alkenn has her hands full with not one, but two puzzling cases. A leak of confidential information threatens the Moonshadow pack, putting her best friend, incubus Nel, in a tight spot! And the elven Queen's best friend has been murdered. Rhianne's hoping to solve the murder and quickly, because the phrase 'Off with her head' is playing on repeat in her mind! 
    With the help of the enigmatic coroner Isobel, and her tech mage boyfriend Kai, Rhianne sets up to find out the truth. 
    Her mission? Clear Nel's name and keep her head firmly on her shoulders. Sounds simple enough, right? What could possibly go wrong?
