Synopsis

Travelling home from London after dancing the Rite of Spring in Trafalgar Square with Sister Winifrede, Jack (nicknamed Jane) Austin and Mandy have a phone conversation with Jack's recently discovered son, Angie.
 
Like his father before him, Angie is viewed as inept (D.C.I. Jack Austin is reputed to have never solved a crime). However, in MI5, Jack Austin is a clever bonce analyst, but that is a secret, naturally. So when Angie is appointed lead investigator into council planning decisions, it is all seen as a marvellous and most amusing side show, while the corporations and an organisation called Hegemon plunder the coastal resources of Portsmouth in the UK.
 
However, Angie has inherited his dad’s analytical genes, and begins to reveal the undercurrents of conspiracy. But could he be the surreal defender of democracy, just as his father had been?
 
A comedic but serious tale, 'Blood Sport' is the third book in Pete Adams's DaDa Detective Agency series.

This classic collection by Bret Harte captures the rugged spirit, humor, and unexpected humanity of life in California’s Gold Rush-era mining camps. The titular story, The Luck of Roaring Camp , tells the poignant tale of a group of rough miners who find purpose and redemption through the care of an orphaned infant. Other stories blend sentiment, irony, and adventure, portraying gamblers, outcasts, and dreamers navigating love, loss, and fortune-seeking in the untamed West. Harte’s vivid characters and rich storytelling helped define the Western literary genre, blending realism with romanticism to paint a nuanced portrait of frontier morality, camaraderie, and fate.

The excoriating stories in Mark Doten's brilliant first collection dissect the pathological narratives that shape our culture and country. Narrated by a crosscutting array of White people, Doten's stories spotlight the self-serving logic through which their characters struggle to make sense of, and take control of, the narrative of our time. They run the political spectrum from "well-intentioned" liberals and newly woke CEOs to Trump appointees, QAnon adherents, and believers in replacement theory. There is an anti-vax nursing home employee, an anti-woke billionaire, a nonbinary sneaker podcaster turned January 6 insurrectionist, a nonprofit LA housing president dubbed "WORST KAREN EVER," an elderly Republican in denial of his COVID-19 diagnosis, teenage YouTubers responding to a shooting at their suburban Minnesota school, a demonically possessed cookie manufacturer drafting a BLM statement with his new Black employee, and a gay White supremacist figure who may be a joke on 4chan, but will have his revenge. 
 
 
 
While their identities and allegiances differ, all of them are united by a ferocious belief in themselves, certain that everything they've done can be justified, if you'll just hear them out. In Whites, Doten has written a relentless book that confirms their standing as one of the great satirists of their generation.

Welcome to the jungle… 
When you’ve grown up thinking your twenties are all about working hard, playing hard and trying not to get pregnant, life comes at you fast when you go from hump to bump. 
So you thought adulthood would mean a high-flying career and a luxury lifestyle, but instead have ended up with a Lycra-based wardrobe and a deep fear of what lies at the bottom of the ball-pit in soft play? 
Join comedian Sophie McCartney as she voyages deep into the uncharted territories of mating, birthing, feral offspring, mums overdoing it at the watering hole, and the perilous viper’s nest of the school WhatsApp group. 
With laugh out loud humour and eye-watering honesty, Sophie shows how whether you’ve had a day full of whining or a night full of wine, there’s joy to be had in the perfectly imperfect wild ride into parenthood. 
In Tired and Tested, Sophie McCartney, a top-notch comedian, explores the wild terrain of relationships, childbirth, and the health challenges that come with it. This bestseller is a humorous autobiography that delves into the realities of motherhood and family life, making it a must-read for anyone navigating the same journey. 
For fans of Laura Belbin (No Shame), Sarah Turner (The Sober Revolution), Laura Clery (Idiot), Sophie Martin (The Infertile Midwife), and Hayley Morris (Me vs Brain).
