  The spider hides, a friend to all by removing other bugs. 
  The scorpion is different. Ready to grab. Ready to sting. Ready to kill. 
  Both have landed on United States soil. Both are targeting the negotiators. Neither can succeed. 
  Ian and Jenny Bragg are contracted by the highest levels of the government. They can share none of the secrets they learn. 
  They have to do the job alone. 
  The contracted value is enough that they’ll never have to work again, but that’s not Ian’s plan. Ian and Jenny are taking care of a small army of employees. From The Club to their independent operators. 
  The cat and mouse of targets on opposite sides put Ian and Jenny right in the middle. Can they get to the hostile operators before the target is sanctioned? The Spider bites and the Scorpion stings. Ian and Jenny are caught in the crossfire. 
  In a business where cash is king, will the allure of a massive payday make the risk worthwhile? Or is the Vice President’s friendship worth the cost Ian and Jenny might have to pay? 
  Check out Ian Bragg today.

  Classic crime fiction's 'Indiana Jones' Tony Medawar unearths more unpublished and uncollected stories from the Golden Age of suspense. 
  ‘Five books in, and the selection here might well be the strongest yet. This series continues to delight with the high standard of forgotten gems that Medawar uncovers, and there’s sufficient range to ensure that all fans of the genre will find something to enjoy. Book 6 can’t come soon enough.’ 
  Jim Noy, author of The Red Death Murders 
  The end of the First World War saw the rise of an insatiable public appetite for clever and thrilling mystery fiction and a new kind of hero – the modern crime writer. As the genre soared in popularity, so did the inventiveness of its best authors, ushering in a “Golden Age” of detective fiction – two decades of exemplary mystery writing: the era of the whodunit, the impossible crime and the locked-room mystery, with stories that have thrilled and baffled generations of readers. 
  The Golden Age still casts a long shadow, with many of the authors who were published at that time still hugely popular today. Aside from novels, they all wrote short fiction – stories, serials and plays – and although many have been republished in books over the last 100 years, Bodies from the Library collects the ones that are impossible to find: stories that appeared in a newspaper, magazine or an anthology that has long been out of print; ephemeral works such as plays not aired, staged or screened for decades; and unpublished stories that were absorbed into an author’s archive when they died . . . 
  Complete with fascinating biographies by Tony Medawar of all the featured authors, this latest volume in the annual Bodies from the Library series once again brings into the daylight the forgotten, the lost and the unknown, and is an indispensable collection for any bookshelf. 
  The historical thrillers in this collection are top-notch, showcasing the traditional storytelling techniques that made the Golden Age of detective fiction so beloved. Each story is a journey back in time, a thrilling ride filled with suspense and intrigue. 
  For fans of Carter Dickson (The White Priory Murders), E.C.R. Lorac (Death of an Author), John Dickson Carr (The Black Spectacles), Christianna Brand (Suddenly at His Residence), and Tony Medawar (Ghosts from the Library).

  The small boat drifts gently down the river, twisting slowly with the current. Lying on the bottom, a still figure is dressed in midnight black robes, holding a single red rose in cold, pale hands…
  
   
  When two students at ancient Durham University make a gruesome discovery, Dr Harrison Lane, Head of the Ritualistic Behavioural Crime unit, is summoned to investigate. A young student has been murdered, satanic symbols etched across their chest, and Harrison is disturbed to see the upside-down hangman’s cross, the devil’s symbol of justice. To Harrison, there’s no justice here, and he vows to uncover the truth.
  
   
  The student was popular, and the police can’t find a motive for the murder. Meanwhile, rumours of ghost sightings are spreading like wildfire across campus, and they all seem to be circling around one location: Palace Green, a popular meeting place in the very oldest part of the university.
  
   
  Then Harrison discovers an unsolved cold case – a student who went missing a year ago, presumed drowned. Wondering if it could be related to the recent death, he digs into it further – what he finds sends shockwaves across the campus. Is something deadly and sinister happening in the heart of the university?
  
   
  As Harrison comes closer to the truth, he realizes that the stakes have never been higher. With a killer on the run and a ticking clock counting down, Harrison must confront the demons from his own past and face down a dangerously powerful adversary to finally uncover the truth.
  
   
  Perfect for fans of Rachel McLean, Angela Marsons and Rachel Abbott.
