From the winner of the Orwell Prize for Fiction and the Irish Book of the Year... Jack is just twelve years old when he rushes down the hill after his mother's car on his bike, desperate to reach her before she reaches the lake. What happens next cannot be undone. Jack's life changes just at the moment he is entering those dizzying years when he will transition from boy to man; when nothing makes sense at the best of times. Yet Jack is not alone. Enveloped as he is by his extended family - his ferociously loving Nana; Grandad, given to sudden bursts of rage; his earthy uncles Haulie and Theo who want to show him what it means to be a man, and the irascible JJ who resents him deeply. Then there is beautiful aunt Rose, whose mere presence ignites every atom in his changing body. But how can a boy with so many questions, in a family with so many secrets, understand the person he is becoming? Without his mother to ground him on the earth, will he spin off into the stars? Ideal for readers who: Enjoy Irish literary fiction and authors like Claire Keegan , Colm Toibin , Sebastian Barry and Paul Murray. Appreciate emotional stories that focus on family. Want an intelligent read that is moving, absorbing, and beautifully written. Liked previous Donal Ryan novels such as The Spinning Heart and The Queen of Dirt Island.

In the late nineteenth century, the great Tory leader Lord Salisbury and his closest collaborators were haunted by the looming threat of Home Rule in Ireland. Salisbury, an anxious man obsessed by visions of social disintegration, was determined to undermine the legitimacy of what he saw as a revolutionary project, one that would damage the prestige and integrity of the British Empire, then at its zenith. He was willing to tarnish the reputation of the Irish leadership by any means necessary. Using blatant fabrication, espionage, and the help of The Times newspaper, the grandest members of the English political elite conspired to discredit the leader of the Irish Nationalist Party, Charles Parnell. By publishing forged letters, Parnell was accused of complicity in the horrific assassination of Lord Frederick Cavendish, Ireland's new Chief Secretary, and his colleague Thomas Burke, who were murdered as they walked unprotected in Dublin's Phoenix Park. Parnell was also linked to a plot to assassinate Queen Victoria. Culminating in a government commission and major libel trial, this dramatic episode in British and Irish political history exposes the lengths an Empire will go to survive, and also confronts the difficult question of Parnell's relationship to violence and Irish nationalism. The Plot Against Ireland reconstructs these largely forgotten and almost incredible events in Myles Dungan's mordantly witty narrative.

All of this while carrying Egypt's national team on his shoulders.Alongside the success, there is an honest journey through Mo's lowest moments and missteps too, backlit by the millions of people leaning heavily on him. Only Mo Salah climbs well beyond how a kid from a remote village scaled unimaginable heights to become a history-maker on and off the pitch, it showcases why Salah has a formidable claim to being the most important footballer on the planet.

Four men in a lifeboat. Two weeks without food. One impossible choice that would reshape the boundaries between survival and murder.'A perfect enunciation of the classic philosophical conundrum: can you sacrifice one innocent life to save many?' (Yann Martel, author of Life of Pi)On May 19, 1884, the yacht Mignonette sailed from England on what should have been an uneventful voyage. When their vessel sank in the Atlantic, Captain Dudley and his crew found themselves adrift in a tiny lifeboat. As days turned to weeks, they faced an unthinkable choice: starve or resort to cannibalism.Their decision to sacrifice the 17-year-old cabin boy Richard Parker ignited a firestorm of controversy. Instead of being hailed as heroes and survivors, Dudley and his crew found themselves at the center of Regina v. Dudley and Stephens, a landmark murder trial that would establish the legal precedent that necessity cannot justify murder.In Captain's Dinner, acclaimed journalist, Pulitzer Prize juror, and New York Times bestselling author Adam Cohen masterfully depicts both the harrowing weeks at sea and the sensational trial.'Is killing one innocent person justified if it saves the lives of three others? Cohen's answer - in this riveting account - reads like a thriller' (former Secretary of State Antony Blinken).Perfect for readers of The Wager and Nathaniel Philbrick's In the Heart of the Sea, this pulse-pounding true story has become a real-life example of one of life's greatest moral dilemmas. 'Brilliant and profound,' (bestselling author Amy Chua), Captain's Dinner strikes at the heart of a question that haunts us all: When does survival justify murder?

She'll help anyone in need. But did she just save a killer? There is a chilling phenomenon in Japan known as Johatsu, where people voluntarily disappear from their lives. It's said that 100,000 people per year are Johatsu, and an entire industry has sprung up to support those who choose to. Life is hard. For some people, it's just too much. That's what I thought when I brought the concept to England. People will disappear anyway. What if I could help them? So I pack their belongings discreetly, create new identities, forge documents, give directions to the cities and towns where the 'night-mover' can live anonymously. It's just a business. I never saw it as a shameful act. I've helped people flee from abusive relationships, from work pressure, from debt, from unfulfilled lives—people in need. I consider what I do to be honourable. Until now, that is. Because I've just learned that I'm not exempt from responsibility. That I am capable of doing a terrible thing. That it's not just a business. I helped somebody flee from a crime. From the police. I evaded a murderer. And if I don't find him, I can't live with what he might do next. Ideal for readers who: Love a high-concept thriller where the action is driven by compelling characters. Crave a suspenseful read with twists they won’t see coming. Are intrigued by a moral dilemma where compassion may have protected a killer. Prefer pacey crime fiction with a chillingly plausible premise.

****THE MEMOIR WHICH KICKSTARTED ANDREW MOUNTBATTEN'S FALL FROM GRACE**** 'If books can shape history, this is one.' DAILY MAIL #1 SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The book that's changing the world. The UK's bestselling memoir. An empowering true story of surviving abuse and fighting for justice. The world knows Virginia Roberts Giuffre as Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's most outspoken victim: the woman whose decision to speak out helped send both serial abusers to prison, whose photograph with Prince Andrew catalyzed his fall from grace. This is her story. In April 2025, Giuffre took her own life. She left behind a memoir written in the years preceding her death and stated unequivocally that she wanted it published. Nobody's Girl is the riveting and powerful story of an ordinary girl who would grow up to confront extraordinary adversity. Here, Giuffre offers an unsparing and definitive account of her time with Epstein and Maxwell, who trafficked her and others to numerous prominent men. She also details the molestation she suffered as a child, as well as her daring escape from Epstein and Maxwell's grasp at nineteen. Giuffre remade her life from scratch and summoned the courage to waive anonymity and not only hold her abusers to account but also advocate for other victims. The pages of Nobody's Girl preserve her voice-and her legacy-forever. Nobody's Girl is an astonishing affirmation of Giuffre's unshakable will-first, to claw her way out of victimhood, and then to shine light on wrongdoing and fight for a safer, fairer world. Equal parts intimate and fierce, it is a remarkable narrative of fortitude in the face of depravity and despair. '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 ** WINNER OF THE OVERALL BOOK OF THE YEAR, BEST NARRATIVE NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR AND FREEDOM TO PUBLISH AWARD AT THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS 2026 ** ** WINNER OF THE CAPITAL CRIME FINGERPRINT TRUE CRIME AWARD 2026** '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 · '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.

A newly discovered firsthand account of the Hiroshima bombing and its aftermath from one of the survivors-a lost classic that brings unprecedented immediacy to our understanding of this world-changing event. The whole city was covered with dark clouds, and conflagrations were breaking out in various directions. Could all of this have happened at once? It was then that black drops of rain, as big as blackberries, began to fall - rain caused by the atomic bomb. I wondered what had happened to my home and church. With a pale face, I ran down the Koi highway… When the atomic bomb fell on Hiroshima at 8.15am on 6 August 1945, Methodist minister Kiyoshi Tanimoto was just beginning his day by helping a neighbour on the outskirts of the city. Unbeknownst to him at that moment, the events that awaited him over the following days and weeks were full of horror, but through his courageous determination to save his family, church and city from total devastation, Tanimoto would become internationally recognised as a hero of Hiroshima. In 1946, he featured in American journalist John Hersey's seminal book Hiroshima which catapulted Tanimoto into global fame - but it is only now that we have discovered the manuscript that he wrote in his own words. With a powerful introduction from Tanimoto's daughter, Koko Kondo, a renowned peace activist in her own right, Hiroshima, 8:15 is a remarkable eyewitness account of this devastating moment of history. Written in the immediate aftermath of the bomb, the manuscript had been lost for many decades and was only recently discovered in a university archive. Today, over eighty years later in a world fraught with conflict, Tanimoto's story is a moving and powerful reminder of how the strength, love and resilience of the human spirit will always triumph over the things that divide us. PRAISE FOR HIROSHIMA, 8:15 'A gripping real-time search for life and hope' - The Guardian "We have apparently spent eighty years forgetting what atomic warfare actually looks like. This intensely moving book is also an unsparing chronicle of the reality of mass destruction. Pray God it will restore some sense of urgency to our commitment to a nuclear-free world." - Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury "A stunning historical discovery and a heartrending testimony." - Kai Bird, Pulitzer Prize-winning coauthor of American Prometheus, the book behind Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer "More urgent today than at any time since the end of the Cold War." - Serhii Plokhy, author of The Nuclear Age and Chernobyl "A rare and important addition to history." - Susan Southard, author of Nagasaki: Life After Nuclear War

HR Update: The position of "adversary to the villain" has been filled. Evie Sage does not recall applying. Evie has always tried to be helpful, loyal, and only mildly involved in treason. But with a dangerous prophecy threatening the very magic of Rennedawn - not to mention the race to claim its necessary artifacts before King Benedict does - things are starting to feel… less like a career path and more like a serious problem. The prophecy won't stop pointing in Evie's direction. The Villain's magic keeps choosing her. And honestly, if you're going to be accused of evil anyway, you might as well commit. Unfortunately, the more Evie leans into her alleged villain era, the more her boss starts acting like the hero of a completely different story. Trystan is getting closer - closer than is wise, advisable, or even remotely professional - and looking at her like she's already chosen a side. His. Which is deeply inconvenient, because if Evie can't save the kingdom's magic, she might just become its greatest threat. Readers are OBSESSED with this hilarious grumpy x sunshine fantasy rom-com series from the New York Times bestselling author and TikTok sensation 'The slow burn was burning, great twists and turns and one of the rare books that actually made me laugh out loud' 'Hilarious, heart-felt, and wonderful…incredible fairytale fantasy' 'The banter was perfection' The Assistant and the Villain series is best enjoyed in order: * Book #1: Assistant to the Villain * Book #2: Apprentice to the Villain * Book #3: Accomplice to the Villain * Book #4: Adversary to the Villain

Two sisters. Two messy lives. One idea that's going to fix everything... Sinead is a 'single girl living the dream'. At least, that's what her Tinder profile says. In reality, she's just been fired from the job she pretended was glamorous, her flatmates are fed up with her, and her sister won't answer her calls. Single parent and out-of-work actor Sarah doesn't have the energy to deal with Sinead right now. Her home is, apparently, on the verge of collapse. Repairs are going to cost a fortune and she's counting on her agent to come through for her (her ex certainly won't). When Sarah lands a high-paying movie role 100 miles from home, Sinead has a brainwave that will solve all their problems: she'll take care of her sister's kids in Dublin (what could be easier than keeping two six-year-olds out of trouble?) and Sarah will move into Sinead's house-share in Belfast while she resurrects her career. And possibly even has some fun for a change. But the swap is less straightforward than expected. And as Sarah and Sinead step into each other's lives, they discover that they don't know each other as well as they thought - and maybe have a lot more in common than they realise... Ideal for readers who: Respond to funny Irish fiction about sisters swapping lives and discovering the catch. Lean into messy-family comedy with house-shares, childcare and career panic.

Eight months after Maggie Bothwell dies, her widower Anthony switches on his computer and finds that an email has just arrived—from her. It is intimate enough to be really her and urgent enough to alarm him: she warns him that something 'awful' might happen but refuses to say what. Anthony finds himself torn between scepticism and belief. Is he being haunted, hoaxed or is he hallucinating? The emails from [email protected] keep coming. Anthony suspects everyone: his son and daughter-in-law, his wife's sister Fran—and especially Simone, the young cleaner Maggie hired, who has ingratiated herself into his home. As his scepticism about the afterlife gradually cracks, he replies to the emails, and their messages become tender, funny and raw. Until a buried secret detonates. His grief is now compounded with anger. Reeling from betrayal, he uses the emails to demand the truth. When he meets Brooke, a widow, at a bereavement session he glimpses a future beyond grief. But can he free himself from the past?

A wholly original narrative, full of beauty and wisdom, about the nature of friendship and art, from an award winning Irish author. 'I met Mollie's paintings before I met Mollie.' Shortly after the imposed isolation of the pandemic, Sara Baume came across a painting at a pop-up exhibition in a renovated shed in rural West Cork. It so intrigued her that she was inspired to make contact with the artist. Mollie Douthit, a North Dakotan exile, was living and working alone in a log cabin down a ravaged laneway surrounded by rugged coastline. Sara and Mollie discovered they had much in common - a dysfunctional attitude towards companionship, a devotion to the daily rituals of their respective art practices, an affinity with nature. They started to meet every month for soup and punishing swims in the Atlantic. Sara fell under the spell of Mollie's paintings, pictures that welded memory and reality, and gradually started to write about them, curious as to whether any particular insight might be provided by the intimacy of friendship with the artist, and whether it might be possible to craft a book in the style of the paintings. But what she had not anticipated was that a settled period in her own life would coincide with a period of tumultuous change for Mollie, and soon she found herself squabbling with more complex ideas, about community and nationality, about neurosis and mysticism, about love and pain and the power of art. Ideal for readers who: Prefer quiet literary nonfiction about friendship, art and creative solitude. Connect with reflections on Mollie Douthit, West Cork and post-pandemic connection. Cherish books that notice rituals: soup, swims, painting, conversation and place. Appreciate beautiful, original narratives that resist a conventional memoir shape.

Pantalaimon had run from her - part of himself - in search of her imagination, which he believed she had lost. Lyra travelled across the world from her Oxford home in search of her dæmon. And Malcolm, loyal Malcolm, too journeyed far from home, towards the Silk Roads in search of Lyra . . .

They must take help from spies and thieves, gryphons and witches, old friends and new, learning all the while the depth and surprising truths of the alethiometer.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Colson Whitehead, an exuberantly entertaining novel that brings to life 1980s New York in the magnificent final volume of his Harlem Trilogy 1981. New York City is beginning to emerge from financial ruin and decline, energized by rampant real estate development and a Wall Street unchained by Reagan-era predatory capitalism. Up in Harlem, successful business owner/master fence Ray Carney has just been named Sterling Furniture's Dealer of the Month. When the banks won't give his beloved wife, Elizabeth, a loan for her new travel agency, however, Carney gambles on one last heist, and finds himself entangled with a legendary criminal mastermind. 1983. To some, Carney's friend and partner in crime Pepper is a stone-cold sociopath. To others, a top thief with questionable people skills. Either way, he's feeling his age in his troubled gut and his aching bones. When he takes on a bodyguard gig as a favor to Elizabeth, he's plunged into the alien territory of the East Village art and club scene. Luckily for him, whether you're uptown or down, everyone speaks the same language of violence - Pepper is a native speaker. 1986. Carney has always been haunted by his inability to save his cousin Freddie. Now, twenty years after Freddie's death, he has a chance to rescue Freddie's son from the violent forces of the city. But coming out of retirement and teaming up with Pepper again will mean risking the safety and security he's spent decades building for his family, with only one shot to get it right. With his usual pitch-perfect prose, Whitehead paints a portrait of a city in transition, where shimmering skyscrapers rise to the heavens as displaced people huddle in abandoned tunnels below. In a dazzling display of protean imagination, Cool Machine roves all over the city, from Windows on the World to Sugar Hill, to show that in New York, and in the lives of Whitehead's vivid characters, it's what's below the surface that reveals the truth... Ideal for readers who: Gravitate towards the Harlem Trilogy finale for crime, wit and swagger. Choose literary crime set against 1980s New York, real estate pressure and club culture. Track Ray Carney's blend of respectability, hustle and one-last-job temptation. Value novels where the city feels as alive as the criminals moving through it.

A pitch-black, Dexter-like thriller from the winner of the 2024 Crime Writers' Association's Debut Dagger, in which a Tokyo paparazzo commits murders in order to generate the photos his magazine's readership ghoulishly demands. A razor-sharp skewering of our darkest fantasies and obsession with true crime for fans of Bella Mackie's How to Kill Your Family, Oyinkan Braithwaite's My Sister, The Serial Killer, and hit HBO crime drama Tokyo Vice. Ken Kato is a half-British, half-Japanese photojournalist working for a low-brow weekly magazine in Tokyo who shot to fame with a photograph of a drowning boy during Japan's 2011 tsunami. Could Ken have saved the boy had he not focussed on the lighting and composition? Well, maybe. But the shot was perfect. Four years later, he has failed to repeat that first success. Facing irrelevancy (and, worse, redundancy), Kato finds an ingenious solution: he turns serial killer to generate his own attention-grabbing pictures, causing a sensation in a society where murder is almost unheard of, and tripling the magazine's sales. Hoping to impress his colleague's estranged wife, with whom he's obsessed, Kato sets out to murder only people with the same name as her: Makoto. Suspicion soon begins to swirl - but with the police always a step behind, and sales booming, neither Kato nor his editor sees a reason to end his picture-perfect spree... Get ready to feel uncomfortable with this page-turning satire of ambition, obsession, and our cultural fascination with serial killers.

Few Irish track athletes are as universally loved as Ciara Mageean, who has remained endearingly down-to-earth, candid and optimistic despite the dramatic twists and turns of her world-class career. In 2024 she finally won a European title, crossing the line to secure that gold medal in a moment of pure euphoria. Two months later, at the peak of her power, an excruciating injury derailed her once again, forcing an eleventh-hour withdrawal from the Paris Olympics. In the City of Love she went, overnight, from competitor to heartbroken tourist. Nothing, she thought, will ever be as bad as this … and then she got the worst news of her life. My Greatest Race is a sports memoir like no other, a devastating contrast between the elite athlete road that so few get to travel and the all-too-familiar cancer journey that so many do. Ideal for readers who: Look to sports memoirs for identity, resilience and purpose beyond medals. Follow triumphs, injuries and emotional honesty through an elite racing life. See Olympic heartbreak as part of the story, not its whole definition. Value athletes as whole people, not just performances on the track.

Sworn enemies, dazzling magic and delicious romantic tension make this a witty, wonderful gem' Sangu Mandanna, author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches In this swoony, witty and heart-stoppingly romantic sequel to instant Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy, the stakes are high, the love is forbidden and the slow burn turns steamy. Osric is a member of the Fyren Order, a guild of assassins who gleefully murder for money. Aurienne is a Haelan, a scholar-healer whose Order's motto is Harm to none. Clear-cut absolutes separate them: good and bad, right and wrong, light and dark - Until they don't. When Osric first bribed Aurienne to heal him, he never imagined those lines would begin to blur. But every healing session draws the two of them closer together. He finds himself developing unwanted feelings for Aurienne as her capable hands heal his body - and his heart. Aurienne's perfect life has been flung into chaos in the form of a devastatingly handsome assassin. She should be in her research lab, not illicitly healing a Fyren every full moon - nor wrestling an attraction to him that threatens to slip into something else. Things go superbly sideways when Osric and Aurienne discover more about the deadly Pox deliberately unleashed through the Tīendoms. The plague may be the work of another Order - an Order far nastier than either of them can handle. As the lines between Osric and Aurienne continue to blur, the balance between peace and war and love and hate trembles, shifts, and hinges on a heartbeat. Ideal for readers who: Are attracted to romantasy with sworn enemies, forbidden attraction and magical orders. Connect with assassin-and-healer tension where every principle is tested by desire. Look for slow-burn sequels that grow steamier as the stakes rise. Seek witty fantasy romance with sharp magic and dangerous trust.

'Superb, detailed research and analysis of how four ordinary boys from Liverpool took over the world, through the lens of the man who made it all happen' Daily Telegraph'A crisply written canter through Epstein's rich and mysterious life' SpectatorThe definitive biography of Brian Epstein - the man who made the Beatles - by leading Beatles biographer Philip Norman. Brian Epstein didn't just manage the Beatles - he transformed them into the most famous band the world has ever known. A young record-shop owner from Liverpool, he took four relatively unknown musicians and set out to make them 'bigger than Elvis', changing pop music, celebrity and British culture forever. Only a few years older than John, Paul, George and Ringo, he called them 'the Boys', guiding, protecting and relentlessly believing in them as no one else did. Without Brian Epstein, there would have been no Beatles as we know them. Brian's achievement in a profession in which he had no experience remains astonishing. A passionate devotee of classical music, he was nevertheless instrumental in shaping a new kind of pop that would revolutionise its sound, its business and Britain's image around the world. Yet for all his achievements, he received no public honour - and scarcely any thanks. Drawing on a remarkable cache of exclusive interviews with those closest to him, Philip Norman delivers the most intimate and revealing portrait yet of this complex, conflicted and ultimately tragic figure. Mr Moonlight reveals the depths of Brian's many trials and tribulations - how he almost lost the Beatles to organised crime; the antisemitism and homophobia he endured even at the height of his success; his intense and fraught relationship with John Lennon; and the haunting circumstances of his lonely death during the so-called Summer of Love. At once revelatory and deeply moving, Mr Moonlight restores Brian Epstein to his rightful place at the heart of the Beatles' story.'A highly proficient book that is entertaining and well written. And also necessary. I am sure it will be regarded as the standard book on Epstein for some time' The Times

SHORTLISTED FOR THE CHARLES TYRWHITT SPORTS BOOK AWARDS 2026 Idol. Legend. Enigma. For the first time, one of the all-time greatest sportsmen is finally ready to share his astonishing story: the long-awaited tell-all memoir from Björn Borg. 'a shockingly revelatory insight' - The Times 'The tennis star retired too early, overdosed on drugs, was serially unfaithful and has been battling cancer. His memoir, Heartbeats, is wild' - The Telegraph No one had ever played tennis quite like Björn Borg. With his incredible athleticism, powerful shot-making and distinctive style, he became a sensation after he burst onto the scene aged just 15. As he ascended to the pinnacle of men's tennis, Borg experienced unprecedented stardom and success that changed the game forever. Hailed as one of the most talented players to ever step onto a tennis court, Borg collected the game's highest honours, including eleven Grand Slam titles - with five consecutive Wimbledon titles - establishing himself as one of the greatest of all time. Then he stunned the sporting world by announcing his retirement at the age of 26 and disappeared from tennis. After all these years of silence, Borg is ready to share everything. In this candid memoir, Borg takes us through all the major moments in his career, shares insights into his rivalry with John McEnroe - considered one of the best in the sport's history - and their legendary 1980 Wimbledon final, and explains his shock retirement. Borg writes candidly about his personal life - for so long kept under wraps - including his childhood, his early stardom and his uncomfortable relationship with fame, alongside all the highs and lows of his unmatched career. For the first time, readers will get Borg's own account of his career, his choices, and the experiences that shaped him as a person, from his childhood right up to today. This look behind the curtain at an enigmatic player who has fascinated generations of tennis fans, is ultimately a fascinating look at the making of sporting legend and, for readers who know nothing about tennis, a rare glimpse into an extraordinary, compelling life.

'An absolute tour de force ... One of the most powerful writers at work today' COLIN WALSH A phenomenal novel ... Expansive, funny and so beautiful' LOUISE NEALON From a rising star in literary fiction comes a story of two discoveries made deep in an Irish bogland, threading together four lives across time. When a dog finds a strange, alien antler in a restored bog, the owner's first thought is to keep it for himself. But when he realises the value of his find, he is drawn back to the rich peat to keep searching. It is not one stag skeleton that is buried there, but dozens - an ancient dying ground of the Great Irish Elk. Other things have surfaced from the bog: prehistoric settlements, bronze cauldrons, ancient butter, iron weapons - and the mutilated body of a two-thousand-year-old female. Fifty years ago, a young archaeologist named her Belroe Woman, and dedicated his life to telling the story of her sacrificial death. While state and public treat the bog body as a national treasure, others must reckon with its otherworldly influence over their lives: the peat-cutter who first unearthed her and carries this discovery like a curse; the archaeologist's daughter who grows up in the shadow of the bog's strange magnetism; and the young environmental scientist whose work draws her back to where it all began. Haunting and lyrical, The Red Mouth - an béal rua - is the story of two discoveries and the four strangers who become intertwined in their wake. The deep time of the bog is both mystical and sinister: those bound to it must decide what to bury - and what to unearth.

Could Putin himself have been behind it? Drawing on years of first-hand reporting and exclusive access to key players - including the saboteurs, the investigators and high-level intelligence - this deeply reported non-fiction thriller by an award-winning Wall Street Journal correspondent reveals the true story behind one of the most remarkable geopolitical mysteries of our time.

'A triumph of storytelling' Guardian THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, SEPTEMBER 2025 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.

'Richard Kerbaj tells a gripping story of Lyalin's role in helping turn the tables in a spying game that the West had been losing.' The Economist 'The Defector flows effortlessly from page to page and chapter to chapter. It is genuinely unputdownable; a terrific read.' The Cipher Brief 'It looks and reads like a novel . . . all queuing up to lavish praise upon [this] book." James O'Brien 'An absolutely thrilling read based on deep research which brings this MI5 asset's importance to life.' Gordon Corera, co-host of The Rest is Classified 'Kerbaj is well-placed to recount the facts of this forgotten story . . . one of the most sensational episodes of the Cold War.' Sunday Times 'A truly gripping, untold story... The Defector reads like Le Carre but uncovers important truths that are being played out in Putin's Russia today'. Robert Verkaik 'Extraordinary' - Hugo Rifkind, TimesRadio 'Inspired . . . seamless, and a thrill to read.' The Scotsman 'Compelling', Evening Standard 'Highly entertaining . . . Certainly the stuff of thrillers.' Sydney Morning Herald 'This magnificent book reads like a thriller but it's all true. It has big lessons for today and tomorrow.' The Australian 'Reads like a spy novel', Express The Defector is the untold account of how, in 1971, the defection of a KGB saboteur in London led to the expulsion of more than a hundred Soviet 'diplomats' from the UK. Drawing on newly declassified intelligence documents and dozens of interviews with spymasters, The Defector tells a startling story of a Soviet mission to plant fake Kremlin agents within British and American intelligence services, the paranoia that ensued, and how the actions of a genuine turncoat, the former KGB officer Oleg Lyalin, and the secrets he revealed resulted to one of the most dramatic and pivotal moments in the Cold War. Lyalin led MI5 to rethink its relationship with the CIA. And his defection discredited a previous KGB defector, Anatoly Golitsyn, the darling of the CIA, and ultimately destroyed the reputation of the US agency's head of counterintelligence, James Jesus Angleton. As Richard Kerbaj writes: 'There was a poetic irony in Golitsyn's loss of credibility. It came, as he had previously feared, at the hands of a KGB defector. Except Oleg Lyalin had not been sent by the KGB - he was running away from it.' At the heart of Lyalin's story is a narrative entwined with lies, disinformation, Kremlin deception campaigns, intelligence failures by the CIA and MI5, and a tangled love life. Told in full here, for the first time, by one of this country's leading commentators on national security, it reveals how during the darkest moments of the Cold War one of the West's greatest achievements transpired as a result of MI5's break with the CIA. The disclosure of the inside story of this historic event also comes at a time when there is a renewed interest in the relationship between transatlantic spy services - from the intelligence they share or hold back, to the way they respond to their political masters and stand up to threats from Russia.

What happens at your kitchen table can become the blueprint for everything you are. Did you sit alone or with people you loved? Was it fun or tense? Was someone working hard to stop you noticing someone else's mood? Did you take it for granted, or know someone had busted their balls to make it happen? Was the food thoughtful and delicious, or bland and functional? Was the plate laid down with love or anger? It all matters. It all stays with us. I think about this every single day. For years, Dawn O'Porter thought that fulfilment lived somewhere glamorous: in success, recognition, and a life turned up to full volume. Somewhere between grieving loss, learning to cook something vaguely nutritious, Hollywood dreams, raising children, writing bestselling fiction - and occasionally eating Wotsits for dinner - Dawn discovered that the real spotlight wasn't out there. It was actually here, in her kitchen, where daily rhythms and chaos, small disappointments and big wins played out, often erupting into a raucous party. Through the meals that nourished, impressed or perhaps sometimes barely registered, food became her stage, where she made sense of life and discovered her love language. Hungry Eyes is a memoir of identity, tracing a path through the moments and meals that shape who we become, and the ingredients we use to gradually build a life. Dawn explores the lifelong pressure to 'bring something to the table', and how it determines who we think we are. What happens when we finally take our seat at our own table - and what if the thing you've been chasing your whole life was already sitting right there? Ideal for readers who: Connect deeply with evocative food memoirs exploring family dynamics, personal memory and evolving identity. Appreciate candid, self-deprecating storytelling built around complex appetites, professional ambition and domestic life. Recognise how fleeting, everyday kitchen-table moments can quietly shape the entire course of a life. Favour autobiographical memoirs that are consistently funny, exceptionally warm and emotionally revealing.

by Leo Varadkar

€12.99

THE NO. 1 BESTSELLER Shortlisted for Biography of The Year, Irish Book Awards 2025 'Refreshingly honest' Guardian 'Whatever your views on Varadkar and his political legacy, you'll be gripped by these stories.' Sunday Independent 'There is gossip, revealing text exchanges and entertaining titbits … the reader gets a good sense of the pressures of serving as taoiseach.' Irish Times --- Leo Varadkar shares his fascinating experience as Irish prime minister at a time of much change and turbulence, in this remarkably honest memoir. Leo Varadkar was an unlikely Taoiseach - the youngest on taking office in 2017, the first Taoiseach to be gay, and the first person of colour to be Taoiseach. Equally unlikely was his decision to bow out of politics in his mid-forties. Now, liberated from the constraints of office, he tells his fascinating story with characteristic courage and candour, and provides a unique insight into the formation and evolution of a senior politician. In Speaking My Mind Leo Varadkar shares his pride in helping to bring about transformational changes, such as marriage equality. He describes experiences that only a prime minister could have - speaking frankly to Pope Francis on the legacy of church abuses, connecting with Barack Obama about both being the 'tall, dark guy with the funny name', navigating challenges such as the pandemic and the fallout from Brexit. And he writes honestly about the costs that go with the immense privilege of holding high office. Speaking My Mind is a revealing, intimate and important memoir from a singular public figure. --- 'A great read ... fascinating insights' Brendan O'Connor, RTÉ Radio 1 'Candid … engagingly honest' Financial Times 'A lively and easy read and can help in future examinations of a very fast-changing Ireland' Irish Independent 'He is easy, cosmopolitan company, judiciously bitchy, but never cruel. I own a lot of books written by and about Irish politicians and this one is the most human in its telling' The Times 'Brings to life some of the behind-the-scenes moments of what has been a transformative period in Irish and global politics' Sunday Independent 'Highly illuminating on the relationship between self-suppression and the reactionary social conservatism he once espoused . . . There's real life and real insight in these passages' The Observer 'Fascinating insights into his own thinking and the behaviour of others' Irish Daily Mail 'A fluid account . . . engaging' Irish Examiner Ideal for readers who: Seek a compelling, first-hand Taoiseach memoir that offers genuine political access. Are interested in modern political leadership, personal identity, public pressure and a changing Ireland. Want to revisit major Brexit and pandemic decisions through a highly personal lens. Look for sharp political insight delivered with refreshing candour, context and honesty about the personal cost.

The true story of one of the biggest bank heists in Irish and British history - and the questions that remain. On a Sunday evening in December 2004, two young men were at home with their families. Both worked for the Northern Bank's cash centre in Belfast. They heard knocks on their front doors. Within minutes masked men invaded their homes, overpowered their loved ones and disabled their electronic devices. The two bank officials were given a choice: do what they were told or their families would die. The following day, £26.5 million was stolen from the Northern Bank: the biggest cash heist in Irish and British history. The two bank officials simply re-labelled vast amounts of cash as rubbish and wheeled huge bags to a van waiting outside, yards from Belfast's City Hall. The robbers' knowledge of the inner workings of the bank was astonishing. They deployed a large crew of drivers, guards and gunmen. Only one organisation had the ability to execute such an audacious, minutely-planned robbery: the Irish Republican Army. But the IRA was supposedly demobilised as a result of the Good Friday Peace Agreement signed six years earlier. The leaders of Sinn Féin (who were also leaders of the IRA) vehemently denied their involvement. No-one believed them. Governments in London, Dublin and Washington were outraged. Yet no one has ever been convicted of any crime relating to the heist. Little more than two years later, Sinn Féin was in government in Northern Ireland. In the wake of the twentieth anniversary of this bizarre robbery, Glenn Patterson builds on his popular BBC podcast to shed new light on the story of the infamous heist, the victims, the organisers and the abortive, at times comically inept, attempts to find the people who carried it out.

A groundbreaking exploration of how fatherhood transforms men's brains, bodies, health, skills and relationships - showing that men are wired to participate in care, just as women are. 'Saxbe's deeply researched and entertaining book fills a crucial gap in our understanding' Financial Times In recent years men's attitudes to fatherhood have changed dramatically. But only now are we learning how profoundly fatherhood changes men's brains and biology - and the effects these changes have on their health, skills, relationships and sense of purpose. In Dad Brain, one of the world's leading researchers of fatherhood, Darby Saxbe, provides a captivating account of this new science, revealing that: Fathers' brains shrink and their testosterone drops Fathers undergo a host of hormonal changes once thought only to affect women Fathers can suffer post-partum depression but enjoy better long-term health Fathers' style of play makes their kids more resilient Dads who do more housework are generally happier Above all, Dad Brain shows that these are all crucial adaptations that enable better parenting but they only come online when fathers invest time into parenthood: the more they do, the more they change for the better. Ultimately it shows a good father is not something you are, it is something you become. 'A terrific addition to the increasing number of fatherhood books' New Scientist 'Fascinating . . . lucid' The Times '[An] accessible account of the latest science of fatherhood . . . fun . . . interesting . . . valuable' Literary Review 'Saxbe wants to debunk the stereotype that parenting does not come naturally to men and . . . takes particular aim at the myth that they "lack the biology for it"' Sunday Times

Genocide: Sponsoring the Destruction of Palestine is Fintan Drury's follow-up to Catastrophe: Nakba II, extending his forensic chronicle of the genocide in Gaza into its third year. Opening on 13 October 2025 - when Donald Trump addressed the Knesset and held a Peace Summit in Egypt - the book dissects a spectacle that excluded the oppressed while rewarding the oppressor. Drury uses this moment to show how Western governments, led by the US, deepened their political, military, and moral support for genocide. Drawing on meticulous research, he examines how bombardment, starvation, imprisonment, and territorial expansion formed a deliberate strategy, and argues that Western arms, funding, and diplomacy knowingly enabled it. Drury also explores the Trump-Netanyahu alliance, showing how political and commercial interests sidelined alternative peace efforts. The book highlights how Israel's focus on Iran is used to deflect attention from continued expansion in Gaza and the West Bank, and critiques a 'peace' framework built around Israeli priorities. Urgent and provocative, Genocide contends that without sustained Western backing, the crisis could neither have begun nor persisted - and insists that accountability is overdue. Ideal for readers who: Look for urgent, uncompromising political non-fiction regarding Gaza and Western power. Engage with forensic, meticulously researched arguments about complicity, violence and accountability. Closely follow geopolitical developments in Palestine, foreign policy and international responsibility. Value vital, challenging books that confront global power structures without softening their case.

Three years after meeting, Jason and Molly married and settled in North Carolina. Four years later, Jason was beaten to death in their marital bedroom. Molly and her father, Tom, a former FBI agent, admitted to killing Jason but claimed self-defence.

'A modern-day Grapes of Wrath that exposes corporate America's skulduggery' IRISH TIMES 'Wonderful . . . This book provides inspiration and hope' JEREMY CORBYN 'A story of incredible personal and political resilience' ZACK POLANKSI 'Chris Smalls is Prometheus unbound' YANIS VAROUFAKIS 'Jeff Bezos doesn't want you to read this, which is why you should' LUKE KEMP The outrageous, jaw-dropping true story of the man who took on a corporate giant - and won. A dedicated and experienced Amazon employee, Chris Smalls had begun to feel frustrated by the inner workings of the retail giant - he kept being passed over for promotion, with little to no explanation. So when his colleagues and friends began falling ill in the Covid pandemic, and with no assurances of safety or even sick leave from the top, he made the only choice left available to him. He staged a walkout with friend Derrick Palmer, eventually finding himself on the picket line without a job. What began as a demand to keep essential employees safe in a crisis would grow into a movement devoted to achieving dignity and security for the wage worker, triggering a groundswell of organizers at Starbucks, Trader Joe's, Apple - and across the world. We follow Smalls's years of sacrifice and economic uncertainty as a father of three, from fighting warehouse managerial politics in an effort to make ends meet, to his ascension as the leader of a new generation's labour movement. When the Revolution Comes is the riveting inside story of how a young Black man from Hackensack, NJ with little-to-no resources led a scrappy band of Staten Island warehouse workers in an improbable fight against Amazon to create its first Labor Union. An exposé of life lived in the laboratory of capitalism and a terrifying depiction of what it's like to be working class in America, this book tells a new, empowering story of what is possible when the overworked, underpaid and disempowered join together, forming a movement born in community.

'Superb, detailed research and analysis of how four ordinary boys from Liverpool took over the world, through the lens of the man who made it all happen' Daily Telegraph'A crisply written canter through Epstein's rich and mysterious life' SpectatorThe definitive biography of Brian Epstein - the man who made the Beatles - by leading Beatles biographer Philip Norman. Brian Epstein didn't just manage the Beatles - he transformed them into the most famous band the world has ever known. A young record-shop owner from Liverpool, he took four relatively unknown musicians and set out to make them 'bigger than Elvis', changing pop music, celebrity and British culture forever. Only a few years older than John, Paul, George and Ringo, he called them 'the Boys', guiding, protecting and relentlessly believing in them as no one else did. Without Brian Epstein, there would have been no Beatles as we know them. Brian's achievement in a profession in which he had no experience remains astonishing. A passionate devotee of classical music, he was nevertheless instrumental in shaping a new kind of pop that would revolutionise its sound, its business and Britain's image around the world. Yet for all his achievements, he received no public honour - and scarcely any thanks. Drawing on a remarkable cache of exclusive interviews with those closest to him, Philip Norman delivers the most intimate and revealing portrait yet of this complex, conflicted and ultimately tragic figure. Mr Moonlight reveals the depths of Brian's many trials and tribulations - how he almost lost the Beatles to organised crime; the antisemitism and homophobia he endured even at the height of his success; his intense and fraught relationship with John Lennon; and the haunting circumstances of his lonely death during the so-called Summer of Love. At once revelatory and deeply moving, Mr Moonlight restores Brian Epstein to his rightful place at the heart of the Beatles' story.'A highly proficient book that is entertaining and well written. And also necessary. I am sure it will be regarded as the standard book on Epstein for some time' The Times

A Telegraph Best Book of 2025. A News Statesman Book of the Year 2025.' David Goldblatt is possibly the best football historian there has ever been'. Dominic Sandbrook'David Goldblatt is the greatest British sportswriter of the 21st century … Injury Time is an absolute classic.' James Montague, author of The Billionaires Club and EngulfedFootball, history and the state of the nation - and why it matters. Injury Time is a sharp and thought provoking look at contemporary British society through the lens of football; a society shaken by more than a decade of economic, political and social upheaval, whose causes and consequences have proved hard to grasp. Set against the backdrop of Brexit, Covid and today's 'polycrisis' - spanning economic decline, war in Europe, political unrest and climate change - this book argues that football provides an unmatched vantage point for understanding the nation's state of affairs. From grassroots clubs battling for survival to the rise and fall of Russian oligarchs in the sport, the game's tragedies and triumphs echo the larger shifts shaping Britain. With striking examples such as Marcus Rashford's anti-hunger campaign and the uproar surrounding Gary Lineker's tweets, Injury Time underscores football's central role in public conversation. Football, Goldblatt contends, is the ultimate societal bellwether - a reflection of Britain's virtues and flaws alike. Ideal for readers who: See modern Britain more clearly through football, community and crisis. Are interested in how clubs and supporters reflect Brexit, Covid and political unrest. Connect with sharp sports writing that blends culture, politics and national diagnosis. Choose books that show why football still reveals so much about society.

by Emer McLysaght & Sarah Breen

They said they’d never let a man get in the way of their friendship... Laura and Dee haven’t spoken since the day they buried a body together. It was supposed to be the best summer of their lives. A break from university, from parents, from wasting their time on Irish boys with farmer’s tans. They’d imagined flirting with Ryan Phillippe on a New York rooftop. Instead, with summer jobs waitressing at a country club on Long Island, pickings are slim. Mikey is a bully. Marco is off limits. Jose is angry. Mr Haight is a sleaze. Josh is too keen. And Other Josh… he’s something else entirely. It’s a miracle only one of them ends up dead. Dee is pretty sure she didn’t mean to kill him. Laura, to her credit, never asked. Not until she sends an email, out of the blue, more than twenty years later. It’s finally time to mend the biggest heartbreak of that summer; Laura wants her best friend back. A hilarious and heartfelt story about friendship, young women and bad men. Sarah Breen and Emer McLysaght bring their trademark Aisling humour in this completely new direction. Noughties nostalgia and a dead body, it’s the novel you didn’t know you needed. Ideal for Readers Who… Loved the Aisling series — Our Deadly Summer is McLysaght and Breen's first novel outside the Aisling universe, and while the tone is darker and the setting is New York rather than Ballygobbard, the warmth, wit, and fierce female friendship that made Aisling a national treasure are entirely intact. Enjoy darkly comic Irish fiction with real emotional stakes — this isn't a cosy mystery. It's funny in the way that only Irish writers can be funny about serious things: sharply, affectionately, and with a body count. Feel a complicated nostalgia for the early noughties — dial-up internet, flip phones, impossibly low-cut jeans, and the particular madness of an Irish J1 summer in America. If you wore a velour tracksuit unironically, this book is for you. Love Marian Keyes, Holly Bourne, or Monica Heisey — fans of Really Good, Actually and So Happy for You will find the same blend of comedy and emotional honesty here, grounded in the specific texture of Irish women's lives. Are drawn to stories where female friendship is the beating heart — Laura and Dee's relationship is the real mystery at the centre of the novel. How two best friends end up standing over a body together, and what that does to them, is the story Our Deadly Summer is actually telling. Want a thriller that moves — set across Dublin, Long Island, and New York, with a plot that opens on a buried body and never fully lets you breathe, this is the rare book that earns its "unputdownable" without having to say it on the cover.

Sworn to protect a scenic island meant to be far from the evils of the mainland, Detective Sergeant Stilwell can feel danger closing in. Detective Sergeant Stilwell knows that his posting on Catalina Island is no paradise, but to most residents, it seems blissfully separated-by twenty-two miles of ocean-from the troubles of Los Angeles County. But now a threat is coming to his safe haven. Acting on a tip from a confidential informant, Stilwell and his deputies watch a plane land in the middle of the night at the Airport in the Sky, a remote airstrip in the mountains. A duffel bag of drugs is dropped and the deputies move in, but things quickly go sideways. While Stilwell chases the fleeing pickup man into the mountainside brush, shots are fired on the runway and the plane flies off. An internal inquiry follows, putting Stilwell on the bench until he is cleared of responsibility for the disastrous operation. But he is determined to find out who brought deadly violence to his island, and begins his own secret investigation into the drug deal gone wrong. While under orders to remain in the sheriff's substation, he finds in the lost and found a valuable backpack that was never claimed.

From the author of A Ghost in the Throat , an unforgettable book - both history and ghost story - that will leave you gasping by its final page. In the city of Cork, a derelict Victorian mental hospital is being converted into modern apartments. One passerby has always flinched as she passes the place. Had her birth occurred in another decade, she too might have lived within those walls. Now, she notices a sign: FOR SALE. It is the first of many signs. Following them, she finds herself drawn into an irresistible river of forgotten voices, those of the women who knew this place best: insistent, vivid and true. They murmur from archives and old records; they whisper from stairwells and walls. Among them – and in one figure in particular -- she may find meaning, solace, rage; her own salvation, perhaps, or her own vanishing? A work of sublime intensity and tenderness, Said the Dead breaks the boundaries between worlds -- past and present, imagined and real -- to make something lasting and new: an experience full of danger, full of love and full of truth. Praise for Said the Dead : There’s magic in this one - a hauntingly beautiful and vivid and necessary book. Kevin Barry                         A haunting, visionary act of witness; this book will be read for decades to come. Anne Enright Said the Dead is one of those rare books where a reader encounters the writer and her characters at a dazzling and bewitching height, at a place where essence meets essence. A piercingly beautiful book that is wounding sometimes and consoling at others, the work, in the end, is life confirming: encompassed in the volume is the unparalleled expansiveness and depth of human minds and hearts. Yiyun Li Doireann ní Ghríofa goes to a place where the veil thins and the worlds meet, and crosses over, and returns, again and again, with living stories of the dead. You can feel the bravery of these acts of psychic trespass, and their sincerity makes for a mysterious and beautiful and thoroughly absorbing book, which continues to reverberate long after you finish it. Lucy Caldwell Doireann Ní Ghríofa is one of the finest writers of non-fiction I know. Said the Dead is an entrancing book -- lyrical and propulsive, it sounds out the echoes of history and finds voices and images that are moving and indelible. Reading this book is like being put under a spell Seán Hewitt Ideal for Readers Who… Loved A Ghost in the Throat — Said the Dead is Doireann Ní Ghríofa's return to the form-dissolving, time-traversing prose that made her debut unlike anything published before it. The same extraordinary attention is here, turned now towards Cork's Victorian asylum and the women the walls remember. Are drawn to Irish women's history that refuses to stay buried — this is a book about the women who were locked away, misdiagnosed, and forgotten. It recovers their voices from archives and casebooks and gives them back to us, vivid and insistent, across more than a century of silence. Want a ghost story that is also something else entirely — Said the Dead is haunted without being horror, historical without being academic, and personal without being memoir. If you find genre labels insufficient, this book was written for you. Read and loved Maggie O'Farrell, Carmen Maria Machado, or Hilary Mantel — readers who respond to prose that holds historical research and personal obsession in the same sentence, and who want their fiction to feel like an act of recovery, will find exactly that here. Have a connection to Cork — or to any place whose walls remember more than people say — the derelict Victorian asylum at the heart of this book is a real place, and Ní Ghríofa writes about it as someone who has walked past it and felt what many people feel: that certain buildings hold their histories differently, and that some of those histories are not finished yet. Believe that reading is its own form of haunting — the narrator of Said the Dead is a reader, pursuing forgotten women through archives and old records. As she reads their lives, we read hers. The experience of reading this book becomes part of its subject matter — which is either the most disorienting thing you can do to a reader, or the most generous.

‘The one thing you can’t fully control in a ship is the water all around you, so part of your plan is always reading and analysing the currents and the tides. You have a clear image in your head of how you think the ship will perform in the prevailing conditions. But this time something isn't going the way we had planned it …’ As a farmer’s daughter in the country’s largest landlocked county, Marie Gleeson’s unusual career choice took her into uncharted waters.

These lessons prepared her for operating without a life raft when her personal life threw her the greatest challenge of all.

‘Fascinating, strange, groundbreaking research in an area that intersects folklore, history, mythology and strength training’ THE BLINDBOY PODCAST A compelling and heartwarming journey across Ireland to revive the lost tradition of stone lifting. When world kettlebell lifting champion David Keohan heard about old tales of stone lifting, he was captivated. So he set off on a quest to see if he could rediscover any of these famous stones, and whether he could match the feats of the heroes of the past by lifting them to allow the wind beneath the stone once more. Helped by a 1930s archive in which schoolchildren shared their local folklore, Keohan began to travel the country in search of the stones. They were often to be found hidden away in quiet villages or cemeteries, their purpose almost forgotten. But, as he journeyed round Ireland, he met those who recalled the stories of the stones, and the legends attached to them. Soon, others were joining him as he took on the challenge of lifting these pieces of history, the heaviest of which weighed well over 200 kilograms. As Keohan’s efforts gathered more and more attention, he came to realise that this was more than a personal challenge. Stone lifting had become a way for Irish people to reclaim their lost heritage and to come together to celebrate what made their homeland special. The Wind Beneath the Stone is an inspirational story of hope, togetherness and community, revealing how a simple challenge can take on a life of its own.

A comedy about tragedy. Séamas O'Reilly has written a brutal, profound, and very funny novel' NINA STIBBE 'Sparkling with heartache and wit. I'm in love with every character in this novel' CAROLINE O'DONOGHUE 'Prestige Drama is bristlingly funny, richly humane... Séamas O'Reilly is a writer with a rare and vital comic gift' MARK O'CONNELL Derry is already abuzz with news that famous American actor, Monica Logue, has flown to the city and will be starring in a new series set during the Troubles. And then she goes missing... All eyes are on Diarmuid, the flaky scriptwriter who was the last to see Monica alive. From budding young actors hoping for a role to grieving parent whose story forms the backbone of the narrative; newspaper editors covering the mystery to taxi drivers hearing all the news from their clients, Prestige Drama follows the city's cast as they all try to locate themselves in Monica's disappearance. Séamas O'Reilly's debut novel is a comedy about dramatising tragedy, and the responsibilities of a teller to a tale. It brings to life the voices of a city, the people, families and communities who find themselves obsessed with, and terrified of, interrogating their past. 'Séamas is one of my favourite living writers. Honestly - there is nobody else who could write a book like this about tragedy, loss and who gets to tell a story, with such deft and moving wit' EVA WISEMAN 'Prestige Drama is a hilarious and profound novel. Seamas O'Reilly has an acute ear for the rhythms of real speech, and for the lies we tell ourselves' ED CAESAR Ideal for readers who: Respond to novels where grief, absurdity and public storytelling collide with real bite. Expect Derry’s voice, humour and history to feel specific rather than decorative. Enjoy ensemble casts where every character has a reason to be watching the mystery. Appreciate comedy that lands cleanly while leaving something tender behind.

by Jamison R. Firestone

€13.99

An American lawyer's brilliant, propulsive story of witnessing and playing a part in the transformation of Russia under Yeltsin and Putin. A true tale of fascinating personalities, criminal intrigue, harrowing situations, audacious actions and international politics that combines Bill Browder's Red Notice with Michael Lewis's Liar's Poker. Raised by his father, a multimillionaire conman and crack addict who owned Manhattan's most expensive brothel, twenty-four-year-old Jamison R. Firestone decided to change the channel. He graduated from law school in 1991 and sought his fortune in Gorbachev's USSR, establishing Russia's first independent foreign law firm. Out of the frying pan and into the fire, Jamison lived in the maelstrom that was Russia, defending himself and his clients from mafia attacks, dealing with corrupt police officers, having his law office raided by armed commandos, and once having to bug the offices of the Russian police. Jamison was at the centre of some of Russia's most important events. He employed Sergei Magnitsky who was murdered for uncovering the largest tax theft in Russian history and teamed up with Bill Browder and Alexei Navalny to expose his killers. Along the way he inadvertently taught Navalny to make videos exposing corruption and started a war with the Russian government over passage of the Magnitsky Acts which threatened to sanction Russia's most powerful people. A real-life story that reads like a spy novel, Rule of Lies goes deep inside contemporary Russia and events that have reshaped the globe. Darkly comic, sometimes horrifying and deeply moving, it is a chilling warning of what can happen when a nascent democracy succumbs to one man's corrupt iron rule, becoming not only an authoritarian nation but a profoundly criminal one-a true mafia state. Ideal for readers who: Read explosive real-life accounts of geopolitical corruption delivered with the breakneck pace of a political thriller. Respond to complex legal battles, high-stakes whistleblowing and dangerous moral choices in hostile territories. Are deeply interested in contemporary Russian history, Putin-era oligarchies and modern international intrigue. Seek non-fiction narratives that manage to feel incredibly urgent, intensely personal and profoundly unsettling.

You could probably run cities on the energy generated between directors like him and actresses like her. When Frida Slattery and John Reddan meet in a Dublin pub in 2006, neither can imagine how they will come to shape and define each other’s lives? Frida is struggling to launch her acting career, while John is already gaining a name for himself as a director. From the first they see in each other potential and the chance to create work that matters, though the lines between collaboration and exploitation, friendship and desire will prove dangerously slippery. With the financial crisis looming, the next 15 years takes them from Dublin to London, New York and LA, and through success and disappointment, joy and heartbreak. Their connection is tested and stretched to the point of rupture, but something remains that outlasts their work and the shifting perceptions of the period. FRIDA SLATTERY AS HERSELF is an epic and unforgettable story of love, ambition and two people coming of age, together and apart.
