In Helen Callaghan's chilling, tightly-spun debut novel of psychological suspense, a teenage girl's abduction stirs dark memories of a twenty-year-old cold case...Margot Lewis is a teacher at an exclusive high school in the English university town of Cambridge. In her spare time, she writes an advice column, "Dear Amy", for the local newspaper. When one of Margot's students, fifteen-year-old Katie, disappears, the school and the town fear the worst. And then Margot gets a "Dear Amy" letter unlike any of the ones she's received before. It's a desperate plea for rescue from a girl who says she is being held captive and in terrible danger--a girl called Bethan Avery, who was abducted from the local area twenty years ago...and never found. The letter matches a sample of Bethan's handwriting that the police have kept on file since she vanished, and this shocking development in an infamous cold case catches the attention of criminologist Martin Forrester, who has been trying to find out what happened to her all those years ago. Spurred on by her concern for both Katie and the mysterious Bethan, Margot sets out--with Martin's help--to discover if the two cases are connected. But then Margot herself becomes a target.

A stolen latte results in a meet-cute for the ages in this brand-new edition, with bonus content, of New York Times bestselling author Lynn Painter's rom-com Accidentally Amy. Isabella Shay is usually a very honest person. But when she's running late for her first day at her dream job and the barista yells for "Amy" three times with no answer, she does the unthinkable. Izzy takes that PSL. It's the exact drink she ordered and paid for, only way further ahead in the queue--and she'll take whatever bad karma is coming for her; she's desperate and very late. But when she turns around and runs directly into the most attractive man she's ever seen, spilling the drink all over his made-for-GQ shirt and tie, she ends up having the ultimate meet-cute. Karma who? Sparks fly and things feel beyond promising, until he says to her: "See you tomorrow, Amy." Izzy reasons she can just straighten things out the next day, no biggie. Only when she gets to her new office and meets the VP of her department, it is none other than Blake Phillips--the hottie from Starbucks. And the man might've been charming to "Amy," but he is an arrogant grump to Izzy, an arrogant grump who does not find her explanation funny at all. But day by day, an attraction simmers between them and they'll have to find a way to work together without ripping each other's heads--or clothes--off.

A diverse, twisty and unpredictable collection of stories that will keep devotees of domestic noir turning pages long into the night. If it's murder, mystery and psychological spills and thrills you want, these are the stories for you."This is Patricia Highsmith at her most twisted. Shirley Jackson spinning in the shadows...""Full of fast-paced, gripping unnerving and emotion-filled tales written with real verve..." observes Toby Litt.Extract: The first time was three years ago, the day after I moved into my flat in Cemetery Road. It was cold and blustery with heavy rain starting to ease off. From my bachelor pad on the fourth floor, I watched her carefully arranging fresh flowers in a vase on a gleaming white marble grave that stood out amidst hundreds of other graves whose headstones were barnacled, mossy and leaning drunkenly. Her task complete, the woman dressed in black with a black umbrella that was endeavouring to take flight, stood by the side of the graved for the best of an hour. It was a strange sight, that lone figure on the hillside, high above the rising rows of graves, the small seaside town of Seaton way down below. I supposed her to be a grief-stricken widow. But when I saw her every week, at the same time in the same place, I became intrigued. Every Saturday morning, at eleven, she arrived by cab. Leaving the driver waiting outside the cemetery gates she would make her way up the steep slope to the white grave that stood sheltered by a sentinel yew. After removing week-old flowers, depositing them in a bin, she would arrange fresh flowers. And always, always afterwards, was that long vigil. One Sunday morning, I went to take a look. I might have waited for a better day. There was swirling fog, the air raw and damp. Keening wind buffeting me, I stopped to catch my breath. The fog lifted and no more than a few yards ahead, I saw the white grave, its headstone surmounted by a sleeping angel.

"Amy was one of those rare people who made an impact . . . She was a bundle of emotions, at times adorable and at times unbearable. . . . Amy's passing did not follow a clear line. It was jumbled, and her life was unfinished--not life's natural order at all. She left no answers, only questions, and in the years since her death I've found myself trying to make sense of the frayed ends of her extraordinary existence." Amy's mother, Janis, knew her in a way that no one else did. In this warm, poignant, and at times heartbreaking memoir, she tells the full story of the daughter she loved so much. As the world watched the rise of a superstar, then the free fall of an addict to her tragic death, Janis simply saw her Amy: the daughter she'd given birth to, the girl she'd raised and stood by despite her unruly behavior, the girl whose body she was forced to identify two days after her death--and the girl she's grieved for every day since. Arguably the most gifted artist of her generation, Amy Winehouse died tragically young, aged just twenty-seven. With a worldwide fan base and millions of record sales to her name, she should have had the world at her feet. Yet in the years prior to her death, she battled with addiction and was frequently the subject of lurid tabloid headlines. Including rare photographs and extracts from Amy's childhood journals, Loving Amy offers a new and intimate perspective on the life and untimely death of a musical icon.
