Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The lives of three generations of women intertwine in the Scottish stone cottage of Agatha, a spinster aunt with more than a helping of spunk.For Agatha's niece Margaret, born in the States but with her own secret connection to the cottage, packing her resentful daughter Hope off to Scotland the summer after her parents have split seems like the cleanest solution to the kind of messy emotions Margaret hates.Margaret spends her summer finding out who she is other than a wife and mother -- and she likes it. Hope has to reinvent herself and her vision of her dad, tricky seas to navigate even without trying to figure out how to eat a bannock and remember which way to look when skateboarding across the road. And gentle Aunt Agatha wonders what would have happened if she'd made room in her life for romance and adventure, instead of just for family.Told from the perspective of each woman, The Thorn Tree weaves together the complexities of love and life for each generation, and shows the strength of family ties.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Normal0falsefalsefalseEN-GBX-NONEX-NONEMicrosoftInternetExplorer4 A neurotic writer's novel begins to come to life as he struggles to save his marriage and his fledgling career. When Yuvi's wife finds him in his underwear, standing on top of his desk, she isn't terribly impressed with him and his writing habits. But Yuvi worries.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Jethro, the renowned Cockney cat burglar and jewel thief, has been pushed out onto the slippery rooftops of London again by Colonel Walsingham of MI5. Jethro does 'a creep' in the posh Mayfair house of a certain Baron Belfold that sets in motion a tale of dark and deadly dealings amongst England's aristocracy that mixes sex-orgies and blackmail with politics. In a tale that not only touches upon a Royal cover-up of the Duke of Windsor's alleged dealings with Adolf Hitler during the War, but also on the Government's attempts to root out Fascist sympathisers and Communist moles from the corridors of power in Whitehall.Meanwhile, Walsingham's secret string pulling has had unintended consequences in London's gangland, and has resulted in Jethro's best friend, Seth, being savagely beaten up by the Emperor of Soho's thugs. Seeking retribution, Jethro turns to Jack Spot, another of London's gang bosses, for help and then burgles Walsingham's house to show him that no deed is ever without its consequences. The burglary leads to a confrontation that results in Jethro again taking action in Defence of the Realm. This time, it's a break-in at the headquarters of the shadowy New Order of Britain Party, a powerful neo-Fascist society with serious political aims. And what Jethro uncovers confirms Walsingham's worst suspicions, that there is indeed a plot by a secret group of high-ranking aristocrats to bring down Clement Attlee's Labour Government. Fearing that even MI5 has been penetrated by spies, Walsingham again turns to Jethro for help in tracking down the sinister group's 'Keys to the Kingdom', a collection of Red Books that reveal who's secretly who and what's secretly what.The only difficulty being, Jethro has to pass for 'a gentleman' amongst the English upper classes. For help Walsingham turns to his old chums, David Niven and Ian Fleming. Then, suitably polished up, Jethro sallies forth with Walsingham's trusted assistant Simon Bosanquet to tackle the enemy within. The trouble is, there's a mysterious American OSS agent roaming around London that looks set to bugger everything up. And all of this the precursor to a very serious bit of burglary at a certain country house; the success or failure of which, could mean England saved from going to the dogs or spell curtains for Jethro. And if that wasn't enough, if Jethro manages to survive it all, Jack Spot is looking for Jethro to pay off the big favour he owes him by helping to pull off the-never-before -attempted 'Great Airport Robbery'. (And no excuses this time. Jethro's in the gang proper or he's out of the game, permanently.) As Jethro would say, It never rains, but it pours.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. On his last day in power, with a blizzard threatening eighteen inches of snow, Sheriff Bittersmith is called to the scene of a crime. A farmer has been stabbed clean through the neck with a pitchfork. Two sets of tracks lead from the barn, and the dead man's frantic wife exclaims that her daughter is missing. Convinced it was Gale G'Wain, the orphan who worked at the farm, Bittersmith follows the vanishing footprints into the storm. Miles away, holed up in an empty farmhouse, Gale is alone and close to death after falling through lake ice. Innocent but unlikely to ever stand trial in this corrupt town, he loads his gun and prepares to defend himself against the dead man's sons and the sheriff's department.Set in rural Wyoming in the 1970s and unfolding in a single day, Clayton Lindemuth's debut novel, COLD QUIET COUNTRY, explores small-town corruption and the lengths some people will go to exact revenge.

Suspenseful, intelligent, and bold, COLD QUIET COUNTRY brings a new edge to the world of modern noir and readers will no longer be able to look upon rolling hills, pastoral fields, and picturesque barns without a sense of foreboding.Lindemuth's impressive debut.is a go-for-the-jugular country noir.Lindemuth carefully weaves characters' backstories into this thrilling narrative, and his visceral prose and unsparing tone are wonderfully reminiscent of such modern rural noir masters as Tom Franklin and Donald Ray Pollock.PUBLISHERS WEEKLY Starred Review.…
