  Can a future be built from pieces of a broken past? Jordan Barnett is dead, killed as much by the rejection of his first love at his moment of greatest need as by his ultraconservative parents' effort to deprogram the gay away. In his place is Silver, a streetwise survivor who's spent the last three years becoming untouchable… except to those willing to pay for the privilege. He's determined not to let betrayal find him again, and that means never forging bonds that can be broken. No matter how hard he tried, Zebadiah Harris couldn't outrun his guilt over abandoning his young lover—not even by leaving the country. Now, almost the moment he sets foot back in Baltimore, he discovers Silver on a street corner in a bad part of town. His effort to make amends lands them both in jail, where Silver plans a seductive form of vengeance. But using a heart as a stepping-stone is no way to move past the one man he can't forgive, let alone forget….

  Ryūnosuke Akutagawa - A Short...

  Ryūnosuke Niihara was born in Kyōbashi, Tokyo in Japan on the 1st March 1892.  Sadly, his mother suffered severe mental illness after his birth and so, at only eight months old, he was sent to be raised by his maternal uncle and aunt, from whom he received the Akutagawa family name.  
   
  He was fascinated by classical Chinese literature from his early years and began writing after entering what was then the Tokyo Imperial University in 1913 to study English Literature.   
   
  The following year Akutagawa and his friends revived the literary journal ‘New Currents of Thought’ which published their own works and translations of such icons as W B Yeats and Anatole France. 
   
  Akutagawa published "Rashōmon" in 1915 and whilst it was disliked by his friends everyone else knew better.  As other short stories followed so did his growing literary reputation as the father of the Japanese short story. 
   
  Much of his work reinterpreted former classical works and incidents and this, melded with his strong dislike of naturalism, produced a writer of rare and genuine quality.  His character palette featured strong and domineering women, mainly based on his mother and the aunt who helped raise him. 
   
  In 1921, he spent four months in China as a reporter.  Whilst there his health was compromised by several illnesses and both his physical and mental health spiralled downwards.  He began to suffer from hallucinations and dreaded that he might have inherited his mother’s mental disorders.  
   
  Although he survived one suicide attempt Ryūnosuke Akutagawa died on the 24th July 1927 in Tokyo from an overdose of Veronal, a barbiturate.  He was 35.

  A body buried in the dunes. 
  A killer with a deadly pattern. 
  Can DCI Walker catch them before the cycle starts again? 
  When a young woman’s body is discovered in the windswept sand dunes of Lytham St Annes, Detective Walker is assigned to the cold case. The victim’s connection to a former Chief Constable puts the investigation under intense scrutiny from Walker’s current boss, the formidable Chief Constable Sarah Harriet. 
  It's not a holiday if you don't come home... 
  But when two more bodies are unearthed nearby, it’s clear they’re hunting a serial killer—one who’s ready to strike again. With few leads and mounting pressure, Walker takes a bold gamble: sending his partner, DC Briggs, undercover as bait to draw the killer out. 
  As the operation spirals out of control and the team races against time, Walker begins to uncover chilling secrets that shake the investigation to its core. Nothing about this case is what it seems—and the closer they get to the truth, the deadlier it becomes. 
  Fans of Ian Rankin, JD Kirk, Matt Brolly, Patricia Gibney, and LJ Ross will love this!  
  The Dunes is the fourth book in the stunning debut police procedural crime thriller from JJ Richards (although it can be listened to as a stand-alone).
