Hard Light: Infamous: Australian crime fiction noir by Warren Hately

Mick Flanagan’s just come home from five years off the grid doing shady things in South-East Asia – and already the manure has hit the fan.

The one-time Government spook finds his father dead, his sister’s gay, and his mum’s now with another man. And there’s old friends who desperately need Flanagan’s help.

So much for staying under the radar.

When a high-profile footballer and a shady druglord get mixed up with a teenage girl blurting all their dirty secrets on Instagram, Flanagan has to get things done the only way he knows how.

The hard way.

If you love Peter Temple, Cliff Hardy, or Jane Harper, you’ll love Hard Light because it’s the perfect mix of detective work meets hardcore revenge thriller.

The Shadow Girls: A Novel by Henning Mankell

From the New York Times–bestselling author: A story of one man’s awakening and “a heartfelt reminder of the many people whose struggles are never known” (The Plain Dealer).

Jesper Humlin, a poet of middling acclaim and underwhelming book sales, is facing a crisis. His boy-wonder stockbroker has squandered Humlin’s investments, and his editor, who says he must write a crime novel to survive, starts pitching and promoting the nonexistent book despite Humlin’s emphatic refusals. Then, when he travels to Gothenburg to give a reading, he finds himself thrust into a world where names shift, stories overlap, and histories are both deeply secret and in profound need of retelling.

Leyla from Iran, Tanya from Russia, and Tea-Bag, who is from Africa but claims to be from Kurdistan (because Kurds might receive preferential treatment as refugees)—these are the shadow girls who become Humlin’s unlikely pupils in impromptu writing workshops. Though he had imagined their stories as fodder for his own book, soon their intertwining lives require him to play a much different role.

Offering both surprising humor and heartrending tragedy, The Shadow Girls is a “passionate and entertaining” triumph that will astonish longtime fans of Mankell’s acclaimed Kurt Wallander novels as well as readers new to his work (The Daily Telegraph).

The Minstrel and Her Knightby Cara Hogarth

Welcome to book 1 in the fabulous new series Minstrel Knights by Cara Hogarth.

A lady disguised as a minstrel…

Yorkshire, 1367. Lady Azalais disguises herself as a minstrel to travel through war-torn France and ransom her father. Her brother plans to marry her to his brutish friend but Azalais, disillusioned with coarse and lustful men, hopes her father will let her become a nun instead.

An unnecessarily handsome knight-protector…

As an impoverished knight, Sir William must fight for his living–unless he can forge a life through his love of song. When offered a mission to protect a talented musician through France, Will seizes the chance to test his dream of becoming a minstrel–a dream that will prevent him from ever marrying.

Azalais distrusts William’s overt performer’s charm and her own reaction to it, yet she delights in their music-making. In turn, Will is strangely fascinated by his minstrel companion. As their shared passion for music and the dangers of the journey draw them closer together it becomes increasingly difficult for Azalais to conceal her identity.

But it is essential that Will continue to see her as a man, isn’t it?
