Stolen Lives

Jassy Mackenzie

A seemingly simple bodyguard job plunges Jade de Jong into the world of strip joints, sex workers, and human trafficking

"Jassy Mackenzie's followup to RANDOM VIOLENCE delivers on all fronts that matter: dextrous pacing, unflinching action, and stark, brave compassion in the clutch. South Africa comes alive on the page, but it's no travel-guide version – the Jo'burg skyline and dusty shops, the embassy offices and dreary mine-dumps - even the pristine suburbs pulse with dark energy. Jade de Jong is a heroine to cherish: tough, passionate, and pocked with enough flaws to keep her interesting."—Sophie Littlefield, Anthony Award-winning author of A Bad Day for Sorry

Love Shrinks is for anyone who has stayed in a relationship too long for all the wrong and yes, sometimes, right reasons. You'll cheer when Wolf finally breaks out. And just maybe it will remind you of someone you know."—Susan Richards, author of Chosen by A Horse

Wyatt by Garry Disher - Soho Crime Books
Wyatt

Garry Disher

Wyatt Wareen prowls the seedy underside of Melbourne in this Ned Kelly Award-winning thriller

"A new Wyatt novel ... is cause for celebration. Though the ensemble cast is sharply drawn, the heart of the story is Wyatt, a cool-headed, taciturn, unsentimental thief with a code. Not the kind of code that makes him a good guy at heart, just a code for staying alive and out of jail. If there's an emotional tug, it's from Wyatt's sense that his time is almost up. 'He was an old-style hold-up man: cash, jewellery, paintings. . . . The trouble was, technology had outstripped him.' Wyatt may be a man out of time, but crime fiction like this is timeless."——Booklist, Starred Review

The Funny Man by John Warner
The Funny Man

John Warner

A coruscating satire of our culture of celebrity, The Funny Man documents one individual's slide from everyman to monster

"Darkly funny…[Warner] peppers his book with clever asides that themselves could serve as stand-up bits…But these serve more as comic relief to the book’s provocative theme of being careful what you wish for…The last third of the book is ambiguous, but serves as a meditation on therapy, the afterlife, and connecting with a kindred spirit. It works because like the rest of the novel, it’s the biting social commentary that Warner is going for, not wrapping things up in a bow."—splitsider.com
