The terrifying flashbacks that she begins to experience make her all the more determined to solve the mystery of her friend’s fate. A new love interest and even her own brother soon fall under Sabine’s suspicions. Do they know what happened to Isabel? Were they, in fact, present in the forest from which she vanished that fateful day? As the pieces of the puzzle slowly fall into place, Sabine realises that the answers lie even closer to home – much closer than she could ever have possibly imagined. Exciting, frightening and utterly compelling, ‘The Reunion’ is a psychological thriller that is impossible to put down.
To Do and Die
￥63.18
The historical fiction debut from former soldier, BBC defence correspondent and MP, Patrick Mercer, is a thrilling military action set during the Crimean War. 1854. War is imminent as the Western powers quarrel with Russia over fragments of the crumbling Ottoman empire. Wanting to prove himself to a father who will not let him forget about his own self-proclaimed military glories, Officer Tony Morgan is keen to set sail. Meanwhile, the Morgan's chambermaid, Mary, whom Tony loves but cannot marry, has wedded another officer in his company and will be accompanying the regiment to the front as a nurse. Arriving at Sebastapol in the Crimea, the company's first engagement with the Russians fill the company with a short-lived confidence. Morgan is eager to show himself a worthy leader, but in the face of several bloody engagements which decimate the company, he finds himself shaken to the core by the brutality of war. He also has to quell potential mutiny against the cowardly subaltern Carmichael, whose first instincts are always to save his own skin. His romantic longings for Mary are revived after her husband is severely injured and she nevertheless proves herself a noble and brave addition to the company. Facing dire conflict on the battlefield and off, within his company and within himself, Morgan is going to be tested to the limits… In his fiction debut, Mercer’s twenty years of military service is all there on the page. His mastery of both the broad sweep and the finer details of military engagement is superb and bound to make an impact with military action fans. His characterisation of the regiment is wholly persuasive and he nails soldier psychology, slang and the interactions up and down the chain of command with deceptive ease. This is probably the closest any of us will get to being in a battle.

In Pursuit Of The Two Legged Mule
￥63.11
In Pursuit of the Two Legged Mule is the true story of the war waged by Officers of Her Majesty’s Customs and Excise at Heathrow Airport against the international drug smuggler. The smuggler, or mule, as he or she was generally known, was devious and determined, but so were the Customs Officers. The book shows how the officers kept up with the ever changing methods of concealments, how they learnt to adapt to each new challenge. For example when internal concealments, swallowers, appeared on the scene, the immediate dilemma was. “Just how do we retrieve the packages of drugs?” The story is told from the viewpoint of the officer in the Terminals or on the Tarmac areas at Heathrow. It shows them as just normal people, with everyday problems, carrying out a difficult job. It explains the thought processes that lead to an interception and an arrest. It is told with the same high degree of humour that was displayed by the officers as they carried out their arduous and sometimes dangerous duties.

A Gavallérok cím? kisregény a kortársi valóságról fest képet, pontosabban a Mikszáthot nagyjából egyforma er?vel vonzó és taszító dzsentri életmódot veszi célba, leleplez? leleménnyel. Hiteles szemtanúként számol be egy Sáros megyei esküv?r?l, s azt a folyamatot igyekszik bemutatni, miként teszi vakká a kívülállót egy jól megrendezett színjáték illúziója, s hogy miként kerekedik felül a kiábrándító valóság. Az ábránd varázslata azonban csak addig tart, míg a jól poentírozott kisregény vissza nem rántja olvasóját a valóság talajára.

Egy kallódó testvér, egy gonosz anya, a pénztelenség és túl fiatal kora mellett még egy akadály az útjába áll: egykori megszégyenít?je, az aranyifjú Edward Johnson is kemény ellenfélnek bizonyul.
