The Hallmarked Man

The Hallmarked Man Cormoran Strike Book 8 by Robert Galbraith

'A triumph of storytelling' Guardian FIND OUT WHAT IS NEXT FOR STRIKE AND ROBIN A dismembered corpse is discovered in the vault of a silver shop. The police initially believe it to be that of a convicted armed robber - but not everyone agrees with that theory. One of them is Decima Mullins, who calls on the help of private detective Cormoran Strike as she's certain the body in the silver vault was that of her boyfriend - the father of her newborn baby - who suddenly and mysteriously disappeared. The more Strike and his business partner Robin Ellacott delve into the case, the more labyrinthine it gets. The silver shop is no ordinary one: it's located beside Freemasons' Hall and specialises in Masonic silverware. And in addition to the armed robber and Decima's boyfriend, it becomes clear that there are other missing men who could fit the profile of the body in the vault. As the case becomes ever more complicated and dangerous, Strike faces another quandary. Robin seems increasingly committed to her boyfriend, policeman Ryan Murphy, but the impulse to declare his own feelings for her is becoming stronger than ever. A gripping, wonderfully complex novel which takes Strike and Robin's story to a new level, The Hallmarked Man is an unmissable read for any fan of this unique series.

Earthquake - Niki Savva Cover Art

Earthquake

Earthquake the election that shook Australia by Niki Savva

The best of Niki Savva’s scene-setting newspaper columns from The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, along with riveting book-length new chapters about an epoch-making period in Australian politics. When the Coalition government was overthrown in 2022, it was tempting to portray the loss as merely a personal repudiation of Scott Morrison. And when opposition leader Peter Dutton torpedoed the referendum on establishing an Indigenous Voice to parliament, his credibility as a political leader improved at the expense of the prime minister’s. That was when, according to Niki Savva, the conservative Coalition thought it had the forthcoming election in the bag. But Niki had noticed the ground shifting. Back in December 2021, she flagged the emergence of the teal independents and the long-term threat they represented to the Liberals. In March 2023, she warned that Dutton saying no to the Voice referendum would ‘win the applause of the Sky After Dark sirens, whose counsel will only lead him to another glorious defeat’. And in August 2023 — 20 months before the 2025 election — she noted that, ‘The 2022 federal election result was no ordinary defeat, not just part of a normal cycle of wins and losses. It delivered last rites to the broad-church party that Robert Menzies created.’ In her highly popular columns, Niki Savva captured all this and more in her typically uncompromising, penetrating, and prescient way. Now, following on from So Greek, The Road to Ruin, Plots and Prayers, and Bulldozed, she provides a detailed, considered analysis of what went on behind the scenes, accompanied by her trademark access to important players and eyewitnesses, of an election that transformed Australian politics.

In 2013, the AFL legend was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease - a cruel and incurable condition. He had a choice. He could spend his remaining time focused on himself, or he could seize the opportunity to make a better future for others. Neale is no stranger to challenge. He grew up on a farm in remote New South Wales, the third of eleven children.

Nobody's Girl

Nobody's Girl The must-read memoir that's changing the world, an empowering true story of surviving abuse and fighting for justice by Virginia Roberts Giuffre

The book no-one should have to write but we all have to read. ‘If books can shape history, this is one.’ DAILY MAIL ‘ Both devastating and uplifting … fearless and frank - angry and empowering. It speaks to the thousands of other victims out there about how to start fighting back.’ EMILY MAITLIS This is the extraordinarily powerful memoir by the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre, the inspirational woman who stood up and spoke out about serial abusers Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, and how they trafficked her, and others, to some of the world’s richest, most powerful men. ‘Make no mistake: this is a book about power, corruption, industrial-scale sex abuse and the way in which institutions sided with the perpetrator over his victims. . . . But it is also a book about how a young woman becomes a hero. . . . Important [and] courageous.’ GUARDIAN This is Virginia's story, in her own words. A story that has never been told in full before now. Virginia Roberts Giuffre is the woman whose decision to speak out helped send both serial abusers to prison and whose photograph with Prince Andrew, now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, catalysed his fall from grace. In April 2025, Virginia took her own life. She left behind a memoir written in the years preceding her death and stated unequivocally that she wanted it published. Her story demonstrates with extraordinary power that victims are made, not born. And that once you come to truly understand the horrifying impact of abuse, you will never again question why a victim stays, or returns over and over again. Nobody’s Girl i s a remarkable recounting of one woman’s fortitude in the face of depravity and despair, and the legacy she leaves behind. First and foremost, Virginia Roberts Guiffre is a voice of courage and resilience for women # 1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER · ‘Takes us into unimaginable realms of human suffering ...devastating.’ THE TIMES · ‘This astonishing book left me reaching for breath.’ JULIET NICOLSON · Startling ... demands that we read with caution, discretion and sensitivity.’ INDEPENDENT · ‘The most important (but, honestly, the most traumatic) book I’ve read all year. As painful as this book is to read, please, please do.’ SAM BAKER, THE SHIFT · It is a personal triumph that [Virginia Roberts Giuffre] chose to speak up and a tragedy that doing so came at such cost.

Romania by Lila Rose

Romania Monroe has always dreamed of finding the kind of love that can weather anything—the kind she's seen her whole life in her dad's motorcycle club. But being "one of the guys" makes it hard to imagine love coming her way. She'd rather throw punches, ride her bike, or fix engines in the Hawks' mechanic shop than worry about being pretty. So when she's kidnapped for her looks, she's kind of nonplussed.

Fly, Wild Swans - Jung Chang Cover Art

Fly, Wild Swans

Fly, Wild Swans My Mother, Myself and China by Jung Chang

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER THE LONG-AWAITED SEQUEL TO WILD SWANS, THE MULTI-MILLION COPY INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING SENSATION 'A must-read … magnificent’ DAILY TELEGRAPH ***** 'Beautiful and moving' ELIF SHAFAK, OBSERVER Jung Chang’s Wild Swans was a book that defined a generation, an epic personal history of Jung, her mother and grandmother – ‘three daughters of China’. The book opens in 1909 with her grandmother’s birth – and foot-binding – when China was under the last emperor, moving through Mao Zedong’s rule, especially the Cultural Revolution during which Jung’s parents were subjected to horrendous ordeals because of their courage. It finishes in 1978 when Deng Xiaoping officially ended the Mao era and started the ‘reforms’. Jung, at that propitious juncture, became one of the first Chinese to leave Communist China for the West. Nearly half a century on, China has risen from a decrepit and isolated state to a global power, the challenger to the United States’ dominant position in the world. Through those decades, Jung’s life has been intimately entwined with her native land. Her experiences dealing with the regime in those years were rich and revealing – especially so because all her books were (and are) banned. Fly, Wild Swans is the follow-up to Wild Swans and brings the story of Jung’s family – along with that of China – up to date. The book is in many ways Jung’s love letter to her mother. It is inevitably also about her grandmother and father, both of whom died tragically in the Cultural Revolution but are often recalled in this book. In fact, the past is never far away in Jung’s subsequent life. It has shaped her, and moulded the present China, and what’s more, it promises to herald the future. China is now at another watershed moment with the era of Chairman Xi Jinping greatly affecting the lives of Jung and her mother. Fly, Wild Swans is Jung’s heartfelt response to that experience, and a book filled with drama, love, curiosity and incredible history – both personal and global. Ultimately uplifting, told in Jung’s clear, honest and compelling voice, it is memoir writing at its best. 'Profoundly revealing as a portrait both of a family and of the deeper traumas that lie at the heart of modern China' RORY STEWART 'Another wonder book from Jung Chang…I am quite blown away by it' LADY ANTONIA FRASER About the author Jung Chang is the author of Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China (1991), which has sold more than 15 million copies worldwide. She wrote a ground-breaking trilogy of the history and personalities of modern China: Mao: The Unknown Story (2005, with Jon Halliday); Empress Dowager Cixi (2013); and Big Sister, Little Sister, Red Sister (2019)). Her books have been translated into more than 40 languages. Jung Chang was born in Sichuan Province, China, in 1952. During the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) she worked as a peasant, a “barefoot” doctor, a steelworker, and an electrician before becoming an English-language student at Sichuan University. She left China for Britain in 1978 and obtained a PhD in Linguistics in 1982 at the University of York – the first person from Communist China to receive a doctorate from a British university. She has been awarded a CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) for services to literature and to history.

Art restorer and legendary spy Gabriel Allon must solve the perfect crime in the dazzling new tale of murder, greed, and corruption from #1 New York Times bestselling novelist Daniel Silva. Sometimes the only way to recover a stolen masterpiece is to steal it back ... Gabriel Allon has been awarded a commission to restore one of the most important paintings in Venice. But when he discovers the body of a mysterious woman floating in the waters of the Venetian Lagoon, he finds himself in a desperate race to recover a lost masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci. The painting, a portrait of a beautiful young girl, has been gathering dust in a storeroom at the Vatican Museums for more than a century, misattributed and hidden beneath a worthless picture by an unknown artist. Because no one knows that the Leonardo is there, no one notices when it disappears one night during a suspicious power outage. No one but the ruthless mobsters and moneymen behind the theft -- and the mysterious woman whom Gabriel found in a watery grave in Venice. A woman without a name. A woman without a face. The action moves at breakneck speed from the galleries and auction houses of London to an enclave of unimaginable wealth on the French Riviera -- and, finally, to a shocking climax in St. Peter's Square, where more than one life hangs in the balance. An elegant and stylish journey through the dark side of the art world and the Vatican's murky finances, An Inside Job proves once again that Daniel Silva is the reigning master of international intrigue and suspense.

Gravity Let Me Go: The astonishing new novel from the bestselling author of BOY SWALLOWS UNIVERSE and LOLA IN THE MIRROR

Gravity Let Me Go: The astonishing new novel from the bestselling author of BOY SWALLOWS UNIVERSE and LOLA IN THE MIRROR by Trent Dalton

Trent Dalton, Australia's #1 bestselling author, returns with the astonishing Gravity Let Me Go - a story you won't ever forget. How will you ever know how the story ends, if you let the story go? Noah Cork has just published the scoop of a lifetime: a white-hot true-crime book about the cold-blooded killer who slipped an unfolding murder mystery into his mailbox. But if this is his moment of triumph, then why is the tin roof being ripped from the walls of his reality? Why are skeletons standing upright in his closet? Why do people want to run him over in the street? And why does his wife keep writing a cryptic message across the bathroom mirror? As a severe storm heads towards Brisbane, Noah is hurtling headfirst into a swirling storm of secrets. He must now cling for dear life to the only story that ever really mattered. He must hold on to the truth. He must hold on to the story. He must hold on to love. Dark, gritty, hilarious and unexpected, Gravity Let Me Go is Trent Dalton's deeply personal exploration of marriage and ambition, truth-telling and truth-omitting, self-deception and self-preservation. It's a novel about the stories we want to tell the world and those we shouldn't, and how the stories we keep locked away are so often the stories that come to define us. It's the story of a murder. It's the story of a marriage. It's the story of a lifetime. 'Gravity Let Me Go draws readers deep into a raw and chaotic world that is both unsettling and compelling ... His signature mix of grit, heart and unexpected turns keeps the narrative gripping, with twists readers won't see coming. Ultimately, fans of Dalton's previous novels will find Gravity Let Me Go impossible to put down.' Books+Publishing 'I could pick Dalton's writing from a mile away. It's revealed in the kindness of the detail, the musical references ... the pace of the writing, and the desire for each word to mean more in company than on its own. Trent Dalton's storytelling is vivid, rapid, and soaring.' Readings

The Book of Sheen - Charlie Sheen Cover Art

The Book of Sheen

The Book of Sheen by Charlie Sheen

"We can live the stories or hear about them later from others. I choose the former." Charlie Sheen should not be alive to tell these stories. But in The Book of Sheen , the star who has defied all odds –   decades of addiction (to drugs, alcohol, gambling, and more), an HIV diagnosis, three divorces, a dust-up with the Sinaloan cartel, and other challenges that will leave readers stunned –   finally presents the truth... or, at least his version. ("The facts are the facts; how I choose to interpret or deconstruct them falls squarely on me," Sheen writes.) From his childhood spent on movie sets for blockbusters like Apocalypse Now ; to the golden days of 1980s Hollywood, filled with heartthrobs like Rob Lowe and Sean Penn; to the humid jungles of the Philippines and mock-army training that crossed dangerously into life-threatening for the filming of Platoon ; to the early aughts' sitcom dominance, every Sheen anecdote drips with shocking lucidity, humor, and self-deprecation. Sheen deftly leads readers through his childhood as the son of award-winning actor Martin Sheen (a "Cathoholic"), which took the family from New York to Mexico to Italy and beyond; his competitive brotherhood against fellow teen heartthrob and Brat Pack member Emilio Estevez; his debilitating stutter that continued into adulthood and which he attempted to hide from producers and directors; his friendships with Chris and Sean Penn, Rob Lowe, Nic Cage, Matthew Perry, and other troubled stars of the era; his adventures on and off camera for films like Platoon  and Wall Street  and shows like Spin City  and Two and a Half Men ; his challenges in fatherhood and the kids that ultimately got him sober; and more. Woven throughout is a constant: addiction, and Sheen's perpetual battle with it. Riddled with regrets, filled with humor, and finally candid, Sheen delivers a truly hilarious no-holds-barred memoir, one fitting for a star of his caliber and controversy.

The Mushroom Tapes

The Mushroom Tapes Conversations on a Triple Murder Trial by Helen Garner & Chloe Hooper

The Mushroom Tapes  brings together three renowned writers of true crime: Helen Garner, Chloe Hooper and Sarah Krasnostein. For this extraordinary book, the lone wolves became a team. Garner, Hooper and Krasnostein tracked Erin Patterson’s preliminary hearings and trial, joined the media scrum at the Latrobe Valley Law Courts, slept over in Morwell and spent countless hours in fervent discussion of the case and the themes it raises: love, hate, jealousy, revenge, marriage, money, mycology and murder. The Mushroom Tapes  is a true crime book like no other, an unputdownable record of the writers' private conversations about their impressions from inside the courtroom. They explore the gap between the certainties of the law and the messiness of reality, their own ambivalence about the true crime genre, and all that remains unknowable about Erin Patterson. If you read one book about how Erin Patterson was convicted of triple murder make it  The Mushroom Tapes . Helen Garner  is the author of  The First Stone  and  This House of Grief , among many other titles. Her most recent book is  The Season . Chloe Hooper  is the author of  The Tall Man  and  The Arsonist , along with two acclaimed novels. Her most recent book is  Bedtime Story . Sarah Krasnostein  is the author of  The Trauma Cleaner  and  The Believer . She is writing a book about the High Country murders.

'I absolutely LOVED this book.' Marian Keyes Was she taken ... or did she run? The pulse-pounding new psychological thriller from the bestselling author of You Don't Know Me Rose was torn away from her daughter. Now, is she the only one who can save her? Former London police officer Rose Campbell has been estranged from her daughter, Lou, for almost a decade. But when Lou disappears from a remote Western Australian beach, and the police suspect her of kidnapping the two young children in her care, Rose is asked to help bring Lou home. The police think Rose's insights will lead them to Lou, but they don't realise that Rose hardly knows her daughter anymore. This is the final case in DSS Mal Blackwood's illustrious career, and there's a lot riding on it. The missing children are heirs to the Fisher property empire, and as their multimillionaire grandfather breathes down Blackwood's neck for results, the media storm is intensifying. Faced with a deluge of evidence and accusations, Blackwood doesn't know who he can trust. Rose arrives in Australia intent on proving her daughter's innocence, but how can she be sure of that when she's no longer part of Lou's life? Meanwhile, as Blackwood begins to expose the Fishers' secrets, the investigation takes a much darker turn. Shadows of the past gather around the Fishers and Rose, and soon it's clear that every hour is critical. What has happened to Lou and the children? And can Rose and Blackwood find them in time?

Don't plan on getting anything else done once you start reading!'

It's a read-in-one-gulp story (my favourite kind) that kept me guessing until the end.' Kayte Nunn 'When She Was Gone is a masterclass of suspense, an edge of your seat story that kept me up all night.' Dervla McTiernan 'A chilling family saga about power, privilege and revenge. Sara Foster at her spine-tingling best.' Tim Ayliffe 'I loved the premise before I even opened the book, and from then on, I was hooked. Sharp, compelling and clever, Sara's story of rich people behaving badly had me captivated until the final pages. Put it on your to-read list!' Ali Lowe, author of The Trivia Night 'The most propulsive thriller of the year. I challenge anyone to put it down once you've read the first page.' Tess Woods, author of The Venice Hotel Praise for Sara Foster and her novels: 'Gripping and chilling all at once' Australian Women's Weekly 'A twisty, well-crafted thriller' West Australian

Evil Bones - Kathy Reichs Cover Art

Evil Bones

Evil Bones by Kathy Reichs

New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs returns with a twisty, unputdownable thriller featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan,  who finds herself enmeshed in a series of grisly animal killings that turn into something far more sinister. Of all the creatures in the world, only humans have the capacity for evil ... Small animals – a rat, a rabbit, a squirrel – have been turning up throughout Charlotte, North Carolina, mutilated and displayed in the same bizarre manner. But one day, as Tempe is relaxing at home alongside her aimless, moody great-niece Tory, she’s diverted by a disturbing call. Now, it seems, the perp is upping the ante. This find is larger. Could the remains be human? Tempe visits the scene and discovers that the victim is a dog. Someone’s pet. As someone who has always found animal cruelty deeply abhorrent, Tempe vows to help apprehend the person responsible for the killings, and due to Tory’s especially layered knowledge of animal behaviour, the young woman turns out to be a valuable ally in the hunt for answers. Oddly, Tempe discovers that semi-retired homicide detective Erskine ‘Skinny’ Slidell is equally outraged and committed. Needing a better understanding of possible motives, Tempe and Skinny seek input from a forensic psychologist. The doctor has no definitive answer but offers several possibilities, warning that the escalating pattern of aggression suggests even more macabre discoveries – and that the perp’s focus may soon shift to humans. And then it happens. A woman is found disfigured and posed in a manner that mimics the earlier killings. As Tempe and Slidell follow the horrifying clues to a shocking conclusion, they’re forced to confront an increasingly terrifying question: ‘What is pure evil?’

Only the Wicked by Isabel Jolie

I invited her into my world—never knowing I was already in hers. To some, my creation is a weapon.

Green Dot - Madeleine Gray Cover Art

Green Dot

Green Dot by Madeleine Gray

A witty, profound and painfully relatable debut novel exploring solitude, desire, and the allure of chasing something that promises nothing. 'I wolfed Green Dot down over two nights. An incredibly funny book about a woman having an affair that's a really bad idea. Every sentence sparkles.' Caitlin Moran, author of How to Be a Woman 'Brilliant. Riveting. Sharp. Funny. Dark. I want to give Green Dot all the adjectives but will content myself with saying it is one of the best books you will read all year' Elizabeth Day, host of the How to Fail podcast 'I felt so much joy reading this utterly assured writing. Green Dot is written with such poise, such confidence, I could not look away. I was mesmerised by its sheer brilliance.' Jessie Tu, author of A Lonely Girl is a Dangerous Thing Hera Stephen is clawing through her mid-twenties, working as an underpaid comment moderator in an overly air-conditioned newsroom by day and kicking around Sydney with her two best friends by night. Instead of money or stability, she has so far accrued one ex-girlfriend, several hundred hangovers and a dog-eared novel collection. While everyone around her seems to have slipped effortlessly into adulthood, Hera has spent the years since school caught between feeling that she is purposefully rejecting traditional markers of success to forge a life of her own and wondering if she's actually just being left behind. Then she meets Arthur, an older, married colleague. Intoxicated by the promise of ordinary happiness he represents, Hera falls headlong into a workplace romance that everyone, including her, knows is doomed to fail. With her daringly specific and intimate voice, Madeleine Gray has created an irresistible and messy love story about the terrible allure of wanting something that promises nothing; about the joys and indignities of coming into adulthood against the pitfalls of the twenty-first century; and about the winding, torturous and often very funny journey we take in deciding who we are and who we want to be.  'I am obsessed with this book. I am obsessed with Hera, with her dad, her friends, her dog. I am obsessed with how funny she is, and how hopeful and dark and tender and bleak the world is through her eyes. Green Dot is a book about love, and how stupid and funny and absolutely beautiful life can be. I would read it forever if I could.' Laura McPhee-Browne, author of Cherry Beach 'Laugh-out-loud funny and beautifully, brutally relatable - Green Dot is a book that will stay with me for a very long time.' Ewa Ramsey, author of The Morbids 'Incredibly funny and a bit too real. This debut novel captures the zeitgeist.' Brigid Delaney, author of Reasons Not to Worry and Wellmania

The Cicada House: A heartfelt and feel-good time-travelling love story and debut novel, perfect for readers of Dolly Alderton, Sally Hepworth and M by Ella Ward

A warm, funny and surprising love story about one woman's journey to find out who she really is - as if Richard Curtis watched Seachange, shared a cold beer with Dolly Alderton, and together they wrote The Time Traveller's Wife. This is a magical love story. Where, despite what I have just told you, the most extraordinary thing to happen is a woman learns to forgive herself. When Caitlin inherits a significant sum of money on her fortieth birthday, she decides to break the habits of a lifetime and throw caution to the winds. She's about to tell her husband Paul that they're leaving London on a once-in-a-lifetime journey to Eat Pray Love their way around the world, only ... she doesn't tell Paul that, because before the candles are lit, he tells her that he's very much in love with someone else. After a drunken night trying to console herself, Caitlin books tickets to Australia - anything to get as far away as possible. What does the world feel like when it's ending for you, and no-one else? What does life feel like when you are running away from it? This is a story that begins in a way you expect, and ends very far from there. It is a story of creaking English hallways and vast Australian skies. Of hands that feel like warm sandpaper. Cicadas that sing so loudly they drown out the grief. Of white wine and an old piano and children who want their parents back from the dead. It is a magical tale of travel and mystery. And a very human tale of sex and loss and seawater and the primal joy of coming home. This is The Cicada House.

Mischance Creek

Mischance Creek The gripping new book in the bestselling Australian crime series by Garry Disher

Hirsch is checking firearms. The regular police audit: all weapons secured, ammo stored separately, no unauthorised person with keys to the gun safe. He’s checking people, too. The drought is hitting hard in the mid-north, and Hirsch is responsible for the welfare of his scattered flock of battlers, bluebloods, loners and miscreants. He isn’t usually called on for emergency roadside assistance. But with all the other services fully stretched, it’s Hirsch who has to grind his way out beyond the Mischance Creek ruins to where some clueless tourist has run into a ditch. As it turns out, though, Annika Nordrum isn’t exactly a tourist. She’s searching for the body of her mother, who went missing seven years ago. And the only sense in which she’s clueless is the lack of information unearthed by the cops who phoned in the original investigation. Hirsch owes it to Annika to help, doesn’t he? Not to mention that tackling a cold case beats the hell out of gun audits and admin… Garry Disher  has published sixty titles across multiple genres. With a growing international reputation for his best-selling crime novels, he has won four German and three Australian awards for best crime novel of the year, and been longlisted twice for a British CWA Dagger award. In 2018 he received the Ned Kelly Lifetime Achievement Award. ‘Hirsch is one of my favourite characters…Unmissable.’  Hayley Scrivenor, author of  Dirt Town ‘Disher is the gold standard for rural noir.’  Chris Hammer ‘Disher is one of this country’s finest writers.’  Tony Birch ‘A giant not only of crime fiction but of Australian letters.’  Ned Kelly Awards
