  Against the vividly drawn backdrop of Victorian London, amateur sleuth Charles Lenox must unlock a mystery concealed in the architecture of the city itself, in this new novel from acclaimed author Charles Finch.It's 1879, and Lenox is convalescing from the violent events of his last investigation. But a desperate letter from an old servant forces him to pick up the trail of a cold case: the murder of an apothecary seven years before, whose only clue is an odd emblem carved into the doorway of the building where the man was killed. When Lenox finds a similar mark at the site of another murder, he begins to piece together a hidden pattern which leads him into the corridors of Parliament, the slums of East London, and ultimately the very heart of the British upper class.At the same time, Lenox must contend with the complexities of his personal life: a surprising tension with his steadfast wife, Lady Jane, over her public support of the early movement for women's suffrage; the arrival of Angela Lenox, a mysterious young cousin from India, with an unexpected companion; the dizzying ascent of his brother, Sir Edmund Lenox, to one of the highest political posts in the land; the growing family of his young partners in detection, Polly and Dallington; and the return of the problems that have long bedeviled one of his closest friends, the dashing Scottish physician Thomas McConnell.Featuring a beloved cast of characters, a top-notch puzzle, and Finch's trademark humor and richness of historical detail, The Hidden City is a novel by a master at the top of his form."Over time, [James] Langton has perfected the transitions between Lenox's aristocratic way of speaking and working-class British accents." —AudioFile on An Extravagant Death"[James] Langton excels at upper-class accents, delivering all the insouciance and flair of the privileged.... He makes the thefts, kidnapping, and murder a delicious puzzle for the struggling young detective and for listeners, as well." —AudioFile on The Vanishing ManA Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.

  The maiden voyage of Titanic II promises luxury, fame, and spectacle—an irresistible gathering of billionaires, celebrities, and priceless treasures. But beneath the glittering surface, a daring heist is about to unfold. 
  Mastermind Scott Rainey, his brother Jay, and their elite crew have one audacious goal: steal every gem, watch, and artefact on board and vanish without a trace into the vast Atlantic. But as the plan edges closer to execution, the stakes soar higher than the ship’s grand decks. 
  Enter Candy—the newest member of the crew—whose dangerous charm ignites a volatile love triangle between the brothers, threatening to unravel their entire scheme. As tensions flare, an old nemesis lurks in the shadows: the relentless detective from their last job, piecing together clues that could sink their operation before it even begins. 
  With time slipping away, secrets surfacing, and trust eroding, Scott must navigate betrayal, desire, and mounting obstacles. Can he orchestrate the heist of the century and secure the love he craves—or will everything come crashing down like the ship’s ill-fated predecessor? 
  This stunning debut novel by Alan Hartwell will have you blasting through the pages late into the night. Written in a style reminiscent of Tarantino’s movies the characters are colourful, memorable and occasionally just the right side of cheeky villain. Although some, you might not want to meet alone down a dark alley. 
  This would appeal to readers who enjoy fresh, twisty, high-concept crime thrillers such as ‘The woman in cabin 10’ by Ruth Ware, ‘A fatal crossing’ by Tom Hindle or ‘The last passenger’ by Will Dean. It also has the audacious caper style of George Clayton Johnson’s ‘Ocean’s Eleven,’ 'The Thomas Crown Affair,' and many of the Elmore Leonard novels and maritime adventures with a modern twist.
