Murder and family secrets, a touch of romance and deeply-felt revenge - with the twist of all twists - make up the perfect page-turning thriller, One Good Deed. For all those who love mystery, crime, Raymond Chandler and Agatha Christie from one of the world`s bestselling thriller writers, David Baldacci. In 1949, Aloysius Archer arrives in the dusty Southern town of Poca City. He has nothing but a handful of dollars, the clothes he`s wearing and an appointment with his new parole officer. After his wartime experiences in Italy and a prison sentence for a crime he didn`t commit, Archer is looking for a fresh start and a peaceful life. On his first night of freedom, Archer meets local business tycoon Hank Pittleman, who promises Archer handsome compensation to work as his debt collector. Yet Archer takes on more than he bargains for, as he becomes embroiled in a long-running feud between the drought-struck town`s most dangerous residents. When one of them dies, the authorities label Archer as their number one suspect. A bloody game is being played above and below the law. Everybody playing has a deeply buried secret, and Archer must uncover them all - if he`s to avoid going back behind bars.

THE PRESIDENT For President Jonathan Bennett, reaching the White House was the realisation of lifetime`s ambition. He`s leader of the free world and the most powerful man on earth. But public support for his administration is wearing thin. And If the truth about his rise to the top was exposed it would bury him. THE ASSASSIN As a boy, Evan Smoak was taken from his foster home and inducted into a top secret Cold War programme. Codenamed Orphan X, he was trained to become a lethal weapon, then despatched around the world to do whatever was required to keep his country safe. When Evan discovered the mission was rotten to the core he got out, using his skills to hide in plain sight while helping those left behind by mainstream justice. THE RECKONING But Evan knows about the President`s dark past. And that`s dangerous knowledge. To save himself and his country, Evan must ask himself one simple question: how do you kill the most well-protected man on earth? And, when he knows you`re coming for him, how do you stay alive long enough to try? One thing is certain: a desperate call for help from another unfortunate in urgent need of Evan`s protection isn`t going to make it any easier ... Breathtakingly bold, brilliantly accomplished and blisteringly fast-paced, Out of the Dark is The Day of the Jackal for the twenty-first century.

She just can`t cut a break. Well, apart from one from her long term boyfriend, Tom. That`s just a break though. Definitely not a break up. Stuck between a boss who doesn`t seem to see her, a family who don`t seem to listen (if it`s not Jesus or water rates, they`re not interested), and trying to fit in two worlds that don`t really understand her, it`s no wonder she`s struggling. She was named to be queen of everything. So why is she finding it so hard to rule her own life? A darkly comic and bitingly subversive take on life, love, race and family, Queenie will have you nodding in recognition, crying in solidarity and rooting for this unforgettable character every step of the way. Perfect for fans of Dolly Alderton, Sally Rooney, Diana Evans and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
