"I glanced up but he'd already jumped, a dark blur plummeting, wings folded against the drag like some starving hawk out of the noon sun, some angel betrayed. He punched through the cab's roof so hard he sent metal shearing into the petrol tank. All it took was one spark. Boom . . ."Harry Rigby is right there, an eye-witness when Finn Hamilton walks out into the big nothing nine stories up, but no one wants to believe Finn is just the latest statistic in Ireland's silent epidemic. Not Finn's mother, Saoirse Hamilton, whose property empire is crumbling around her; and not Finn's pregnant fiancé, Maria, or his sister Grainne; and especially not Detective Tohill, the cop who believes Rigby is a stone-cold killer, a slaughter's hound with a taste for blood . . . Welcome to Harry Rigby's Sligo, where death comes dropping slow. Studded with shards of black humour and mordant wit, Slaughter's Hound is a gripping noir from one of the most innovative voices in Irish crime fiction.Show book

What if you could grow the perfect boyfriend? One drunk night. One impulsive click. One synthetic man on her doorstep. K8 isn’t buying the manupartner hype. She wants something real—messy, human, unfiltered. Everyone else is happy with programmable perfection. But when the box shows up, it’s too late to cancel. No returns. No refunds. Instead of the docile, made-to-order partner she expected, she gets James Alexander Fletcher: a sharp-tongued entrepreneur from 2035 with memories, opinions, and absolutely zero interest in being anyone’s customizable sweetheart. When his lease on life starts ticking down, they strike a deal—she’ll help him survive the future if he pretends to be the perfect manupartner. There’s just one catch: his résumé hasn’t aged well. The only marketable skills James has left involve blood, fists, and a few broken underground laws. As he fights for the cash to buy his freedom, and K8 fights the urge to get emotionally attached, their fake relationship starts to feel dangerously real. The lines between programming and passion blur, and when trust finally breaks down, K8 has to decide whether love is worth the risk—especially when it’s the messy, maddening kind that can’t be manufactured. Perfect for fans of Ali Hazelwood’s The Love Hypothesis and Christina Lauren’s The Soulmate Equation, GROW (Your Own Boyfriend) is a quirky, heartfelt, and occasionally dark romp through a bubblegum dystopia where love isn’t dead—it’s just been discontinued.Show book
