Percy Crow

Daniel Kemp

Sinossi

Captured by the enemy during World War Two, Percy Crow escapes in the bilges of a freighter from Soviet Russia to Hamburg.
 
There, he sells his secrets to the head of British Intelligence. But when Lord Maudlin Paterson hears Percy's account of the royal family's dark secrets, he sets out to find the truth, however repulsive it may be.
 
Decades later, the daughter of Maudlin's illegitimate Russian son suddenly blurts out Percy's name while being interrogated by the CIA - and Harry Paterson, Maudlin's legitimate great-grandson, is the only person she trusts.
 
Along with his lifelong friend George Northcliffe and the beautiful Serena Abenazo, Harry starts unravelling the clues. But can he discover his great-grandfather's secrets, and where will the rattling bones of the sepia images lead him?

The Heat

Garry Disher

Wyatt needs a job. 
 
A bank job would be nice, or a security van hold-up. As long as he doesn’t have to work with cocky idiots and strung-out meth-heads like the Pepper brothers. That’s the sort of miscalculation that buys you the wrong kind of time. 
 
So he contacts a man who in the past put him on the right kind of heist. And finds himself in Noosa, stealing a painting for Hannah Sten. 
 
He knows how it’s done: case the premises, set up escape routes and failsafes, get in and get out with the goods unrecognised. Make a good plan; back it up with another. And be very, very careful. 
 
But who is his client? Who else wants that painting? 
 
Sometimes, being very careful is not enough. 
 
‘For the connoisseur of crime the Wyatt series represents Disher at his stylish best…wicked and wonderful. Welcome back, Wyatt.’ – Sydney Morning Herald
