Synopsis

An ingenious killer with a penchant for rare books is targeting the Crescent City’s elite in this 1930s mystery by the authors of The Invisible Host. 
 
A distressing rumor is circulating through New Orleans that one of the city’s prized artifacts—a fragment of the Gutenberg Bible—has been stolen. But when the rumor comes true and is followed by a series of murders, distress turns to outright panic. As the rich and powerful are targeted, newspapers churn out breathless headlines, and the police are left increasingly baffled. 
 
Many stand to gain from the death of the victims, and each new clue only adds to the list of suspects. Now district attorney Dan Farrell must turn to a local crime reporter for help in unravelling a twisting plot of passion, deceit, and murder of truly tragic proportions.

    What really goes on 'behind the screens' on a busy surgical ward?  
    Paul Lambert, a quiet and introspective young doctor tells the real-life tales of some of his patients, at a time when care and compassion ruled supreme in British hospitals. Some stories are humorous, some sad, others poignant, but all are very 'human'. The novel also follows Paul's chequered love life and unveils some of the 'high jinks' that doctors get up to when off-duty. Had Jennifer Worth been a surgeon rather than a midwife, these are the tales that she might have told.

    Based on the hit Netflix series, this novel delves into the lives of Top Boy's beloved characters. Written by creator and co-producer Ronan Bennett, it promises to be an exciting new chapter of this bona fide TV sensation. 
    I’m gonna tell you the whole story. I’m going to tell you everything. 
    Sometimes all it takes is a single message. Maybe it’s bad, like a rival top boy’s been switched off. Or maybe it’s good, like an opportunity you never thought you’d get. But opportunities mean risks, and debts, and you never want to owe anyone anything. 
    Jaq’s worked hard on the road since she was fourteen, bringing in money to keep her broken family afloat. Now she’s built a good life near the top of the Summerhouse crew, with a beautiful home she shares with her girlfriend Becks and her heavily pregnant older sister Lauryn. 
    But messages are coming in—good and bad—and Jaq has to make a choice: step back from the road and start a life she’s never even considered. Or seize her opportunities and risk everything for life-changing money. Either way, Jaq will make enemies. And those enemies aren’t going to let her go easily . . .
