  Improvised Explosive Device

  Improvised Explosive Device is a startlingly innovative exploration of extremism, hate crime and violence by poet Arji Manuelpillai. In this powerful and unsettling first collection, Manuelpillai presents a vision of the contemporary haunted by Melville's image of the whale – the terror beneath the surface of the sea. His uncompromising focus on violence is laced with gallows humour and the surreal, framed against the mundane detritus of modern life: two boys playing Mortal Kombat; a field of old trainers; the lonely glare of laptop light; a suspicious looking package in the back seat of a van.
  The poems in Improvised Explosive Device emerged through research and interviews with academics, sociologists, and former members of extremist groups and their families – from the English Defence League and the National Front to ISIS and the Tamil Tigers. These complex, unnerving texts ask a series of important questions. What drives a person to commit a radical act of violence? How is that violence mediated through screens and social media? And how does the British government police marginalised groups? Improvised Explosive Device is a brave, surprising and risk-taking book; it will change the way you look at the world.
  "Refusing glib analysis and easy answers, Improvised Explosive Device is a work of radical empathy, fuelled by honesty and compassion, both for those stirred to violence against minorities, and those who suffer from it." Rishi Dastidar
  "The project of Arji Manuelpillai's Improvised Explosive Device leans into the mighty disciplines of poetry, sociology, and reportage to formulate an arresting debut which contests the ways we're conditioned to internalise notions of terrorism, nationalism and belonging...a bold and startling new work." Anthony Anaxagorou

  Jacq and Kas's boutique restaurant has gone bust, and telling their oldest friends Adaego and her rich husband Tobin that his investment is toast is only the start of the evening.
  Cash, class, identity and infidelity are all on the menu. As the last of the expensive wine flows, a dangerous drinking game reveals long-hidden truths and provokes an unspeakable dare.
  Never Have I Ever is an explosive, savagely funny play which brilliantly skewers the contradictions of contemporary society, and the shifting sands of power and sexual politics. It premiered at the Minerva Theatre, Chichester, in 2023, directed by Emma Butler and starring Alex Roach, Amit Shah, Greg Wise and Susan Wokoma.
  Deborah Frances-White is a comedian, screenwriter and host of the global hit podcast The Guilty Feminist. This is her first play.
  '[Deborah Frances-White's] mixture of wit, fallibility and inclusivity is immensely appealing'Sunday Times on The Guilty Feminist

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  He’s seen it all. Until now. 
  Detective Darrius Blue has walked the shadowy streets of New York City for over a decade, chasing justice through blood-stained alleyways and broken dreams. But when a high-profile murder rattles the city’s elite and clues lead to a powerful web of corruption, Darrius finds himself caught in a case that threatens everything he stands for—and everyone he loves. 
  With his sharp instincts, relentless grit, and a past that never quite lets go, Darrius digs deep into a mystery that grows darker at every turn. Each answer raises more questions. Each ally could be an enemy. And the closer he gets to the truth, the more dangerous the game becomes. 
  As the line between justice and vengeance blurs, Darrius must decide how far he's willing to go. Because in a city where secrets kill, some truths are better left buried.
