  Before the skyscrapers pierced the clouds, the streets of New York were ruled by a brutal, invisible empire—Tammany Hall. 
  Arriving in America with nothing but the clothes on his back, a young Irish immigrant quickly learns that survival in 19th-century New York City is not granted to the righteous, but seized by the strong. Blessed with terrifying physical prowess and a mind perfectly tuned for the ruthless chess game of ward politics, he catches the eye of "Big John Kennedy," a mastermind of the notorious Tammany machine. From street-corner brawls and stolen ballot boxes to commanding the fearsome "Red Jackets," our protagonist claws his way to the top of the food chain. But as power breeds enemies and political warfare demands betrayal, he must ask himself what he is willing to sacrifice to become the absolute ruler of the city.

Weaving together themes of classic mob syndicates, political thrillers, and urban power struggles, it provides a fascinating, unapologetic look at the raw mechanics of power.

  ‘Witty, funny, warm and wise’ Marian Keyes 
  Is it a break? Or is it a blip? 
  ‘You’ve just had a holiday,’ I pointed out, trying not to yawn. ‘Wasn’t that enough of a break?’ 
  ‘I don’t mean that kind of break.’ 
  There’s nothing worse than the last day of holiday. Oh wait, there is. When what should have been a proposal turns into a break, Liv and Adam find themselves on opposite sides of the life they had mapped out. 
  Friends and family all think they’re crazy; Liv throws herself into work – animals are so much simpler than humans – and Adam tries to get himself out of the hole he’s dug. 
  But as the short break becomes a chasm, can they find a way back to each other? Most importantly, do they want to? 
  In this bestselling book, Lindsey Kelk, the Sunday Times bestselling author, delivers a contemporary and humorous take on romance. The romantic comedy is a testament to her ability to create compelling fiction. 
  For fans of Sophie Kinsella (What Does it Feel Like?), Paige Toon (What If I Never Get Over You), Jill Mansell (The Wedding of the Year), Heidi Swain (All Wrapped Up), and Sarah Adams (In Your Dreams).

  Merry Christmas! is a moving, reimagined version of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol for the 21st Century. If that master storyteller were around today, he would surely be entertained by this clever rendition. 
  Eddie Scarr, a modern facsimile of Scrooge, is angrier and more damaged than the original, but just as successful in his own milieu. He’s a Department for Work and Pensions enforcement officer whose sole reason for existing, it seems, is to make life as difficult as possible for would-be benefit fraudsters, and everyone else who crosses his path. 
  At the age of seven Eddie was dumped in a care home by his older sister, following the death of their parents. The experience of this grim institution, with its uncaring ‘care parents’, not only deeply scarred him, but left him haunted to this day. 
  A workaholic, he is driven in pursuit of cheats, even on Christmas Eve, despite being wracked with a vicious head cold. As he makes his way home to his cold apartment and equally cold bed, he has an alarming encounter with a former clients, whom he had previously hounded to death. Even more alarming encounters await him when he logs on to his computer at home. But will any of these encounters change him for the better? We can only hope.
