    Authored by former BigLaw litigator, two-year DC federal court clerk, Amy Impellizzeri's Why We Lie exposes the core of the #metoo movement in the legal/political realm—where powerful men have long been given a pass on criminal behavior, and victims have been discounted even within their closest circles.

    A centuries-old score. A city built on secrets. A melody that kills. 
     
    When a celebrated music impresario is found dead in Venice—his body slumped in the hot house of a remote palazzo, a cryptic musical interval in his hand—rumours swirl around a rediscovered manuscript: the original score for The Four Seasons, penned in Vivaldi's own hand. 
     
     
    But is it a masterpiece lost to time or a masterful forgery? 
     
     
    Arnold Clover, a reclusive British archivist seeking peace in the city on the lagoon, is reluctantly drawn into the mystery. Hired to authenticate the deadly manuscript, Arnold finds himself at the centre of a chilling conspiracy that spirals through shadowy music chambers, forgotten archives, and bloodstained Venetian alleyways. 
     
     
    As the seasons change, so does the tempo of the killings. With each movement of Vivaldi's immortal concerto, another victim falls. 
     
     
    To stop the music, Arnold must unravel a trail of coded messages, heretical symbols, and the unholy legend of the diabolus in musica, a sound once believed to summon the Devil himself. 
     
    A taut, elegant thriller steeped in music, myth, and murder, The Four Deadly Seasons is perfect for fans of Dan Brown, Robert Harris, and Donna Leon. 
    "Arnold Clover is back in his finest adventure yet. A rollicking, operatic read from a writer who both loves and understands the city." - Philip Gwynne Jones

    ‘I absolutely loved it’ NetGalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 
    Sometimes, you can be your own worst enemy… 
    Rhiannon Lewis thought she finally had it all: thanks to the pandemic she’s had to keep a much lower profile but has found happiness with her fiancé Rafael and his family. For once, she is surrounded by people who love her for who she is (or who they think she is). 
    After over 800 days without murdering anyone, the woman formerly known as the Sweetpea Killer thinks she might have finally turned over a new leaf.  
    That is until her soon-to-be sister-in-law has a run in with her abusive ex, and Rhiannon rediscovers her taste for revenge. This time, with a loving family in tow, the stakes are much higher. Wedded bliss and life as a normal person are finally within Rhiannon's reach, but you can never keep a good serial killer down. 
    Can you? 
    Praise for CJ Skuse: 
    ‘This darkly comic novel…has the potential to become a cult classic’ Daily Mail 
    ‘Dark, depraved and devilishly delicious. A full throttle savage and satirical thriller’ John Marrs 
    The humorous undertones of this crime fiction novel are a testament to C.J. Skuse's ability to weave a narrative that is as thrilling as it is blackly comedic. Rhiannon's domestic life, once a source of stability, becomes a backdrop for her feminist struggle against her own dark impulses. 
    For fans of Freida Mcfadden (The Tenant), L.M. Chilton (Everyone in the Group Chat Dies), John Marrs (When You Disappeared), Sarah Bonner (Her Sweet Revenge), and C. J. Tudor (The Chalk Man).

    Her aunt Lily is the formidable boss of one of London’s biggest crime firms and if she discovers the truth about Ruby’s death, Scarlet knows she’ll be cast out of the family for good. Or worse, if her cousin Cillian finds out, he’ll hunt her down and kill her with his bare hands…

As she closes in on her nemesis, she’s shocked to discover that it’s someone she’s trusted her whole life. Loyalty means everything to Scarlet, and this is a betrayal like no other. One thing is certain: this is her most dangerous enemy yet, and as time runs out, Scarlet knows it’s either her life or theirs…
