  A Scottish saga of grit and determination from Sunday Times betselling author Evelyn Hood 
  Will holding on to the business she has inherited mean a future without love? 
  Port Glasgow, Scotland 1930 
  Morag Weir’s young life is full of responsibilities: caring for the ailing Sander Weir, the man who has raised her as his daughter; whilst managing his household and shipping business. 
  When Sander Weir dies, his brother Lawrence is outraged to learn that Morag will inherit Sander’s large home as well as a controlling interest in his shipping firm. 
  Complicating matters, Lawrence is Morag’s real father – having abandoned her when he remarried when Morag was six years old. Despite his past fickleness, Lawrence feels he has the right to control Morag’s new-found wealth. 
  As the business flounders, Morag must fight and find the courage to defy Lawrence and resist his efforts to overturn his brother’s will and also wrestle control from the unscrupulous men who wish to take the business from her. 
  While everyone around her is finding love, the man Morag has fallen for seems to want nothing more than a professional relationship. 
  Can hard work prevail and will Morag find a balance at work and with her love life? 
  Storytelling at its best, Evelyn Hood is the original bestselling Scottish saga writer.

  “Enthralling . . . Boyne’s novel can stand comparison with William Golding’s Rites of Passage . . . Mutiny is storytelling at its most accomplished.” —The Independent (UK) 
   
  Internationally bestselling author John Boyne has been praised as “one of the best and original of the new generation of Irish writers” by the Irish Examiner. With Mutiny, he’s created an eye-opening story of life—and death—at sea. 
   
  Fourteen-year-old pickpocket John Jacob Turnstile has just been caught red-handed and is on his way to prison when an offer is put to him—a ship has been refitted over the last few months and is about to set sail with an important mission. The boy who was expected to serve as the captain’s personal valet has been injured and a replacement must be found immediately. 
   
  Given the choice of prison or a life at sea, John soon finds himself on board, meeting the captain, just as the ship sets sail. The ship is the Bounty, the captain is William Bligh, and their destination is Tahiti. Their journey, however, will become one of the most infamous in naval history. 
   
  Mutiny is the first novel to explore all the events relating to the Bounty’s voyage, from the long passage across the ocean to their adventures on the island of Tahiti and the subsequent forty-eight-day expedition toward Timor. This vivid retelling of the notorious mutiny is packed with humor, violence, and historical detail, while presenting an intriguingly different portrait of Captain Bligh and Mr. Christian than has ever been presented before. 
   
  “The writing grows into a mesmerizing tour-de-force . . . this is a remarkable and compelling piece of storytelling.” —The Irish Times

  "For sheer readability he has no peer" —Evening Standard 
   
   
   
  Paris in the 1960s caters for every taste, and nowhere more than at the private "clinic" run by the enigmatic Monsieur Datt on Avenue Foch, which supplies psychedelic drugs and sexual favors to the city's elite—all the while secretly filming guests in order to blackmail them. Into this decadent underworld steps a bespectacled British spy. Sent on what seems like a simple mission, he soon finds himself playing a game where the rules are unknown—and even victory could be fatal.
