    The sound of corks popping and distant cheers of ‘Happy New Year!’ wake me. I crack my eyes open and take a slow, surprisingly painful breath. My sister’s face comes into focus, and I see the tears staining her cheeks. Where am I?
    
     
    One minute, pastry chef Tabitha Greenwood is driving through rain-soaked Dublin with her fiancé Mark, on their way to a New Year’s Eve party. The next, she is waking up in the hospital, the devastated face of her sister telling her everything she doesn’t want to know. Mark is gone. And Tabby knows that it’s her fault.
    
     
    Lost in her grief and haunted by memories, Tabby can’t seem to return to the woman she was. Until one day, sorting through Mark’s belongings, she finds a delicate rose-gold bracelet with an engraving that changes everything. Because this heartfelt gift isn’t for her…
    
     
    Should she follow the mystery? Find the girl this bracelet belongs to? Faced with the choice to step beyond the walls she’s built around herself, Tabby doesn’t realise how many lives will be affected by her decision, and how much the answers she finds will upend her world again…
    
     
    Completely heartbreaking and powerfully uplifting Irish storytelling. The perfect unputdownable read for fans of Dani Atkins, Sally Page and Amanda Prowse.

    Benji is an imaginative eight-year-old boy, living with his parents in a mining village in Nottinghamshire amidst the spoil heaps and chip shops that characterise the last industrially bruised outposts of the Midlands, just before Northern England begins. His family are the eccentric neighbours on a street where all the houses are set on a tilt, slowly subsiding into the excavated space below. Told through Benji's voice and a colourful variety of others over a deeply joyful and strange twelve-month period, it's a story about growing up, the oddness beneath the everyday, what we once believed the future would be, and those times in life when anything seems possible.
    1983 is steeped in the distinctive character of a setting far weirder than it might at first appear: from robots living next door, and a school caretaker who is not all he seems, to missing memories and the aliens Benji is certain are trying to abduct him.

    J. D. Storm is an ex-Army sniper, discharged after losing an eye in battle. Finally finding work at the illusive Desire Card—an unsavory organization that promises "any wish fulfilled for the right price"—he heaves a sigh of relief. But when those wishes become too immoral, J. D. quickly finds out that no one reneges on the boss, a powerful and eccentric madman known only as Clark Gable because of the realistic mask he wears, without paying a hefty price. 
     
     
     
    On the run, J. D. begins a white-knuckle cat-and-mouse chase that takes him northwest where he hides out with a former girlfriend and tries to scrounge up enough cash to flee the country. But with every second that passes by, Gable's other masked operatives are closing in. 
     
     
     
    Soon, J. D. discovers just how widespread the organization's contacts are—no longer knowing who he can trust. Rather than running, J. D. decides that his best shot is to take out the head of the snake. After all, the hunted must become the hunter if he has any hope of surviving. 
     
     
     
    Ingeniously plotted and filled with twists and turns, Prey No More follows those indebted to this sinister organization—where the ultimate price is the cost of one's soul.
