  Sophie Winston is busy handling the first ever convention of the Association of Ghost Kitchens—restaurants that do delivery only—but she's taking a little time out for a lunch meeting organized by A Healthy Meal. The group is dedicated to providing meals for children in need, and as a bonus, it'll give Sophie the perfect opportunity to ogle the lavish Old Town home of socialite Geraldine Stansfield. Gerrie's dining room is impeccably furnished, the table laden with gleaming crystal and prized china. If it weren't for the dead man lying on the floor, everything would be perfect . . . 
   
   
   
  No one knows the victim—or at least, no one claims to. But a little snooping by Sophie reveals links to many local notables. In fact, not only was he a client of Geraldine's late husband, an attorney—every member of the Stansfield clan knew the deceased. But only one knows what he was doing in Gerrie's house. 
   
   
   
  Gerrie's elegant abode looks spotless, but there's plenty of dirty linen in those family closets. Now Sophie will have to get the killer to come clean before he spoils another appetite—for good . . .

  Redburn His First Voyage

  Herman Melville

  Herman Melville was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet of the American Renaissance period. Among his bestknown works are MobyDick (1851); Typee (1846), a romanticized account of his experiences in Polynesia; and Billy Budd, Sailor, a posthumously published novella. Although his reputation was not high at the time of his death, the 1919 centennial of his birth was the starting point of a Melville revival, and MobyDick grew to be considered one of the great American novels. 
   
  Melville's growing literary ambition showed in MobyDick (1851), which took nearly a year and a half to write, but it did not find an audience, and critics scorned his psychological novel Pierre: or, The Ambiguities (1852). From 1853 to 1856, Melville published short fiction in magazines, including "Benito Cereno" and "Bartleby, the Scrivener". In 1857, he traveled to England, toured the Near East, and published his last work of prose, The ConfidenceMan (1857). He moved to New York in 1863, eventually taking a position as United States customs inspector. 
   
  From that point, Melville focused his creative powers on poetry. BattlePieces and Aspects of the War (1866) was his poetic reflection on the moral questions of the American Civil War. In 1867, his eldest child Malcolm died at home from a selfinflicted gunshot. Melville's metaphysical epic Clarel: A Poem and Pilgrimage in the Holy Land was published in 1876. In 1886, his other son Stanwix died of apparent tuberculosis, and Melville retired. During his last years, he privately published two volumes of poetry, and left one volume unpublished. The novella Billy Budd was left unfinished at his death, but was published posthumously in 1924. Melville died from cardiovascular disease in 1891.

  Winner of the 2019 Banjo Prize for Fiction 
  She's isolated. Trapped. Hunted. An almost unbearably tense Australian survival thriller. 
    
  Not much daylight left now. 
  So begins the field diary of Alix Verhoeven, whose impulsive acceptance of an offer to spend Easter on a remote island has turned into a terrifying ordeal. Hiding in a tiny cave, she carefully rations out her meagre supplies, while desperately trying to figure out how to escape the men hunting her. She is determined not to be a victim. 
  What do they want with her? She knows it's nothing good - she overheard enough on that first night to flee. But now she's got little food or water, no way of calling for help, and only her skills as an exploration geologist and memories of Atkinson's Bushcraft Guide to survive. 
  By day she is disciplined and lives by strict plans, but at night she finds herself haunted by questions about her life that she has never wanted to face. 
  And her time is running out.

  I thought I'd seen it all. Talk about your all-time wake-up calls … 
   
  Earth is teeming with alien larvae. 
   
  That reality has just crashed down on us like a ton of contaminated space rocks. 
   
  Every time I close my eyes, I still see the huge spider-like monster rising up. 
   
  I killed that one just in time, but we know that more could hatch at any moment. 
   
  Even worse … we know that if any of them reach their final form, they'll be indestructible. 
   
  Now, our only hope of saving Earth from this ticking time-bomb lies on the distant world of Eden. 
   
  The problem? We have reason to think the natives engineered this stuff. 
   
  If there was any other route forward, we'd be taking it. 
   
  We wouldn't be blazing this uncharted path to potentially hostile territory. 
   
  But with one card left to play in a game we can't afford to lose, I can't keep my mind from fixating on one unshakeable question: 
   
  Are we racing towards Earth's salvation … or on a one-way trip to oblivion?
