    From bestselling author Anya Mora, a deliciously dark, twisty and utterly gripping new novel about the dangers of obsession.     We were sent to Glennmare Academy. An elite boarding school on a windswept island off the coast of Seattle where the unruly daughters of affluent East Coast families are exiled.     Kitty, Bernie, Coretta, Diane, Jolie. We're more like sisters than roommates. Even if Kitty is gone.     At Glennmare, each bed is filled with a teenage girl who wears ribbons in her hair, a nod to innocence we lost long ago. When we were sent out into the world, away from home, to fend to for ourselves.     If we start telling the truth about what happened that night we might just break down. What could we say about our twenty-five-year-old teacher who quotes obscure poetry and works in the stables, but who understands each of us so perfectly?     We are teenage girls with the belief in a power other people don't understand. The power of hands held tight and secrets whispered in the dead of night.     But why isn't she back yet? Kitty should be back by now, shouldn't she?     Perfect for fans of The Secret History and books by Monica Murphy, Keri Lake, Vera Kurian and Roxy Sloane.

    Shanghai 1927. Pearl of the East or Whore of the Orient? Depends on who you ask. It's a cesspool of poverty, thronged with refugees, gripped by civil war. But for some it's still a fever dream: jazz clubs, film stars, and opium dens, celebrities and spies, easy money and easier women. 
     
     
     
    The son of a rural Irish cop, Michael Gallagher has joined the Shanghai Municipal Police to escape an Ireland crippled by its recent bitter independence fight and escape a personal tragedy. 
     
     
     
    Michael encounters Shanghai's biggest philanthropist, a man called Big Ears Lu—who is also its creepiest racketeer. He falls for the beautiful courtesan Miriam Tsai. 
     
     
     
    But does Michael's collusion with Lu keep Miriam trapped in the House of Multiple Joys? 
     
     
     
    Shanghai in 1927 is a city where after dark anything seems possible. A city where anyone can be crushed, and anyone corrupted. Even an innocent Irish cop. 
     
     
     
    From the wreckage of guerrilla war in Ireland to the dawn of world war in Asia, Gangsters of Shanghai seethes with twentieth century turbulence and temptation. 
     
     
     
    Can Mike Gallagher remain uncorrupted, and escape the imploding city with his life and his self-respect?
