  The bleakly beautiful Norfolk coast, the murder of a local businessman, a suffragette on trial... Sounds like a case for Posie Parker! 
  Valentine’s Day, 1926. 
  When Posie Parker, Private Detective, accidentally runs into an old family acquaintance in the Temple Church, London, she is persuaded to leave town immediately and return to the place of her childhood roots - the beautiful Norfolk coast - to investigate a closed-room murder mystery which local police believe has a foregone conclusion. 
  But have the police got the suspect right? Posie must race against the clock as a Murder Trial is scheduled to begin in just two days’ time. 
  A women’s right’s activist, the courageous Girvan Briskow, will almost certainly face the gallows if she is convicted of her wealthy father-in-law’s murder. Both the murder victim and the chief suspect are already known to Posie from years before, but Posie needs to push aside old hostilities in order to get at the truth. But is the truth too much, and too dark, for her to bear?  
  And is she just imagining it, or is Posie’s presence resented in Norfolk? Is she in danger, here? And why has Richard Lovelace, Posie’s husband and the Chief Commissioner of New Scotland Yard, started acting strangely? 
  A darkly gripping historical murder mystery, which fans of Agatha Christie, T. E. Kinsey, Nicola Upson, Lee Strauss and Verity Bright will adore!

  New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman has been hailed as one of the best crime fiction writers in America today, winning virtually every major award in the genre. The author of the enormously popular series featuring Baltimore P.I. Tess Monaghan as well as three critically lauded stand-alone novels, Lippman now turns her attention to short stories—and reveals another level of mastery. 
  Lippman sets many of the stories in this sterling anthology, Hardly Knew Her, in familiar territory: her beloved Baltimore, from downtown to its affluent suburbs, where successful businessmen go to shocking lengths to protect what they have or ruthlessly expand their holdings, while dissatisfied wives find murderous ways to escape their lives. But Lippman is also unafraid to travel—to New Orleans, to an unnamed southwestern city, and even to Dublin, the backdrop for the lethal clash of two not-so-innocents abroad. Tess Monaghan is here, in two stories and a profile, aligning herself with various underdogs. And in her extraordinary, never-before-published novella, Scratch a Woman, Lippman takes us deep into the private world of a high-priced call girl/madam and devoted soccer mom, exploring the mystery of what may, in fact, be written in the blood. 
  Each of these ingenious tales is a gem—sometimes poignant, sometimes humorous, always filled with delightfully unanticipated twists and reversals. For people who have yet to read Lippman, get ready to experience the spellbinding power of ""one of today's most pleasing storytellers, hailed for her keen psychological insights and her compelling characterizations,"" (San Diego Union-Tribune), who has ""invigorated the crime fiction arena with smart, innovative, and exciting work"" (George Pelecanos). As for longtime devotees of her multiple award-winning novels, you'll discover that you hardly know her.

  Pappy tries to break out of the game before the head of his crew, Black, gets them all killed. Against his better judgment Pappy agrees to do one last job, but only because it's the price of his freedom. He knows Black can't be trusted. He knows his "brother" would rather see him dead than let him walk away. Yet he still agrees to do the job because Black isn't the only one who can't be trusted. Sometimes you have to kill for what you want. 
  Further developing the stark realism and uncompromising streetwise narratives of his lyrics, HNIC cements Prodigy's position as one of the foremost chroniclers of contemporary urban life. Simultaneously a fast-paced crime drama and an engrossing, unsentimental moral tale, it peers into the dark heart that underpins the codes of loyalty and friendship, betrayal and vengeance. 
  With H.N.I.C., Prodigy inaugurates Infamous Books, a revolutionary partnership that pairs the Infamous Records brand with Brooklyn-based independent publisher Akashic Books. Infamous Books' mission is to connect readers worldwide to crime fiction and street lit authors both familiar and new.

  Learn the secret – or die trying 
  Has ex-SAS soldier Ben Hope finally got out of his depth? 
  That’s the question Ben faces when the hunt for a missing girl takes him to China. He’s a stranger in a strange land – but he’s also the victim’s only hope. To make things worse, she’s almost family. 
  As the pressure mounts, so does the gruesome death toll. With ruthless enemies in pursuit and an unlikely alliance with an enigmatic detective his only lifeline, Ben realises that this situation is far more explosive than even he’d bargained for. Suddenly it’s no longer just the missing girl’s fate depending on him. 
  At the heart of the mystery lies an ancient secret dating back to China’s first emperor and the legendary Terracotta Army – a secret that people will still kill for, millennia later. Ben Hope has never turned his back on those in need, and he’s no stranger to tough odds. But can he survive long enough to discover the truth – and is he ready for the consequences? 
  In this top, best-selling novel of the action series, ex-SAS soldier Ben Hope, now a private investigator, finds himself in the heart of an espionage adventure. The suspense of the story is as explosive as the war he once fought in, making this sequel a Sunday Times bestselling book. 
  For fans of Andy McDermott (The Sacred Vault), Matthew Reilly (Cobalt Blue), Tom Wood (Blood Debt), David Baldacci (The Edge), JD Kirk (A Dead Man Walking), and James Rollins (Tides of Fire)
