Synopsis

Milly Darrell is a Victorian novel of youth, vulnerability, and moral trial. Sent from home to study at a Yorkshire school, gentle Milly faces loneliness and the loss of familiar comfort as she begins a new life of discipline and expectation. Forming close friendships, she is gradually drawn into emotional conflicts and family secrets that test her innocence. Braddon explores the precarious position of young women, the pain of growing independence, and the quiet resilience needed to face betrayal and hardship.

    The summer thriller from bestselling author Nina Manning 
    I had vowed I would never get back into the water, but of course, this was always going to be the outcome. I never really had a choice. 
    When out of work actress Rey Levine is offered her dream acting role, she knows she has to make it work. But there’s a catch: the film calls for Rey to swim, something she hasn't done since her last fateful summer holiday fifteen years ago. The summer her sister disappeared…and everyone blamed Rey. 
    Rey will do anything to block out the painful memories, but it means her current life is in freefall – drink and men her drugs of choice. 
    With her first dip in the cool water, Rey thinks she’s found the perfect escape. But as the water holds her, old memories float to the surface, forcing Rey to remember the terrible summer she’d rather forget. 
    But someone doesn't want the truth to surface. Not now, not ever... And they're prepared to ruin Rey's life all over again. 
    Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Valerie Keogh and Louise Jensen.

    A Vietnam era Catch-22 by the author of The Company 
     
     
     
    Robert Littell is often compared to John le Carre, Alan Furst, and Len Deighton. But in Sweet Reason, this master of the spy genre takes a dramatic departure to brilliantly satirize career militarists and other absurdities of war. 
     
     
     
    Somewhere off the coast of Southeast Asia, the U.S.S. Eugene F. Ebersole—a rusted World War II relic whose best days are far past—patrols the waters on a mission to protect American values in this suddenly-not-so-Cold War. The decrepit destroyer's mission is to apprehend or annihilate anything suspicious, but someone on board is preaching peace and the ship's motley crew is not quite as motivated as its ambitious commander.

    A perfect storm materializes when Patrick Bouchard, an underwater welder working in the shipyards of San Pedro, California, loses his only child, Gabriel, to cancer. Driven by grief and rage, he sets out on a quest to make those he feels responsible pay, specifically, Standard Pharmaceutical, the megacorporation owning the HMO that denied radical treatment to his stage-four terminal son. That wasn’t right, and someone had to be held accountable. 
    They’d pay, all right, but not in blood—that would be too easy and serve no purpose.  
    He’d lost his son, his heart, and his faith; he couldn’t get much lower. But from such depths, treasures are found, and in that abyss of human suffering, Patrick devises a scheme to keep his promise to Gabriel “to fight to the end.” 
    One way or another he’d make sure no child would be written off to satisfy the bottom line of a corporate balance sheet. The Jack of Broken Hearts was about to introduce himself to Sanford Peck and his Standard Pharmaceutical empire.
