Sinopse

"Beautifully written, tender and terrifying." UNA MANNION
Annie surrendered her fantasy of travelling the world, settled instead for marrying her beloved Peter and becoming a mother.
When her two youngest daughters – her Crow Face and her Doll Face – perform a seemingly impossible act of levitation at a family picnic, Annie realises that they are truly extraordinary. Magical. And it's her role to protect them. With growing paranoia and a bitter fatalism, she spirits her daughters away from their home and the wreck of her marriage. But she commits a terrible, unthinkable, unmotherly act on the way.
Crow Face, Doll Face is an uncanny, brooding tale of domestic disturbances, dysfunctional families, flawed mothers, and unfulfilled dreams.
"I can't think of anyone who's currently writing more assuredly, or more enjoyably, in the fantastical tradition of Angela Carter, Emma Tennant and Elizabeth Bowen." STEVE DUFFY
"Deliciously unsettling… delicately peels away the layers of ordinary family life to reveal dark truths underneath." CATRIN KEAN
"Unflinching in its authentic and raw portrayal of the complexities of motherhood." PHILIPPA HOLLOWAY

    Global nuclear war had left the earth a stinking cesspool, polluted by radioactive fallout and poisoned by chemical toxins. Mutations abounded. Barbarians reigned. Against them all fought the Freedom Force, civilization’s last hope for survival. And when Los Angeles fell victim to a mindless incursion of savages, it was up to the Force to lift the siege. Matching violence with super violence and death with megadeath, Blade and his comrades blew into the City of Angels like devils out of hell – and L.A. would never be the same.

    Many people dream, often from childhood, of a future in the arts, as a famous musician or author, or nowadays merely famous for being famous.  But roll back the decades and the pursuit of a successful career in the arts was both lauded by their audience and many times frowned upon by friends and family, who thought they might have better ways to enhance the family’s reputation.

    One hundred people from fifty eligible planets have been abducted and taken to the Planet of Shadows—a patchwork planet consisting of pieces from each of those fifty planets. All these people and all these creatures, plants, and habitats have been assembled for one reason: survival. 
    Charles McCoy is the boy who was abducted from Earth, taken away from his regular life and tasked with surviving on an alien world. He is told that everyone is here for an experiment and that the last survivor will be rewarded with passage back to their own world. 
    But they are discouraged from killing, they are all humanoid, their speech is being universally translated, they must deal with the mysterious Events, and everyone is beginning to think that perhaps they haven't been told everything about why they are really here. 
    This book contains suggestive themes and references to drug use.

    DS Nick Chester returns with a new case that will test his limits. 
     
    The tiny South Island town of Franz Josef is perched precariously on New Zealand’s Alpine Fault. It already faces devastating earthquakes, floods and landslides. And now it harbours a killer. 
     
    When a body is discovered suspended in a glacier, detectives Nick Chester and Latifa Rapata are sent to investigate. More victims surface, as does a web of corruption stretching from the international aid industry to the blood-steeped fields of a civil war. 
     
    From the award-winning author of Marlborough Man and Doom Creek, this atmospheric thriller plunges readers into a blood-soaked crevasse of natural disasters, international intrigue and calculated murder. 
     
    This is the third book in the thrilling Nick Chester series by award-winning author Alan Carter. 
     
     
    ‘Franz Josef is trademark Alan Carter: appealing characters, convincing police work and bursts of action, with an overlay of international tensions ripped from the headlines.’ GARRY DISHER
