It's the summer of 1951 and everyone is looking to put the dark days of the war behind them. The government's solution: The Festival of Britain, a celebration of the country's creativity, grit and ingenuity. For foreign correspondent turned war reporter Harry Flynn, it might offer the chance of redemption after a bad war in the Far East and a peace that is proving no easier to negotiate. Having failed to resume his journalistic career, he reluctantly joins an oddball team of misfits, ne'er-do-wells and downright chancers helping to ready the Festival of Britain for launch. Flynn's attempts to resume some semblance of a romantic life also founder when one of his dates goes missing and he is deemed to be the last person to have seen her alive. Could he have been in some way responsible for her disappearance? Little does he realize that the answer to some of his mounting problems may lie in the hands of a precocious, straight-talking thirteen-year-old called Veronica and a rather scruffy terrier who goes by the name of Mrs Betty...

CHARLOTTE WOOD You can't choose your family, but you can choose your enemies. 1945: It's the dying days of the war. A triumphant Josef Stalin has the world's future in his hands, but leading up to the Potsdam peace conference he is restless and paranoid, increasingly suspicious that his ambitious security overlord Lavrentiy Beria is plotting against him. Beria has a secret weapon, his best friend's daughter. A patriot and devotee of Papa Stalin, Melor Murtova has returned from a two-year exile to become Beria's adopted daughter, and his eyes and ears among the nepo babies of the Kremlin. In this palace of intrigue and deception, Melor must play a dangerous game, outwitting treacherous power plays and the capricious whims of her frenemies, while conducting a secret mission of her own: to find out who murdered her parents before her time runs out. Against a backdrop of international politics, spying and the true-history intrigue of the closing days of World War Two, The Second Child is a chilling black comedy about survival in the court of madmen. 'The Second Child is fast paced, resolutely playful and resolutely serious. That Knox can create such sparkling black comedy from one of the most morally compromised moments of the tragic twentieth century speaks volumes of his terrific talents and instincts as a writer.' CHRISTOS TSIOLKAS 'The Second Child takes us on a forensically researched, rollicking, deeply sinister and, yes, side-splitting journey through the treachery, paranoia, madness and shameless nepotism of Stalin's post-war court. LOL-ing at authoritarianism never felt quite so good or timely.' PAUL DALEY 'Unsettling, intelligent, and exacting. Tender in its attention to the ways we love, and brutal in its portrayal of the damage we do to one another. It's as unsettling as it is intelligent-and impossible to put down until you get to the end.' SHANKARI CHANDRAN 'Frighteningly funny, darkly moving and riveting from the start. This is a story of their time, but also of ours.' RICHARD GLOVER 'Malcolm Knox follows the spectacular The First Friend with a thrilling sequel in The Second Child-a gripping, thoroughly contemporary satire of postwar Kremlin offspring and their sadistic strongman dads. Holding up a dark mirror to our own collapsing democracies, The Second Child glitters with intrigue and vicious wit. This is Knox at his most ambitious, scathing, hilarious best.'

Welcome to the gutters of 1970s Paris - and the transgressive, darkly comic world of City of Rats. When pet rat Gouri finds himself locked out of his owner's apartment, he has no choice but to strike out alone onto the pavements of Paris. But what begins as a strange and marvellous bedtime story - Gouri and his new friend Raka selling flour-coated worms to pigeons for spare change - soon spirals into an exhilarating whirlwind of murder, sex, unionised hamsters, courtroom drama, and, finally, Armageddon. Told through a series of letters from Gouri to Argentinian playwright Copi, City of Rats channels Copi's lifelong fascination with society's outcasts - queer people, immigrants, the homeless - into a fiercely imaginative, unflinchingly provocative tale of a world hurtling into madness.

The other is Octavius's closest friend, Agrippa. To claim Octavius's inheritance, they must fight the giant figures of the Roman Empire - and, against all odds, they win. Octavius becomes the Emperor Augustus. For twenty years, they rule the world together. Now Agrippa is fifty.

Decades after its closure, a massive class action lawsuit has resulted in a multibillion-dollar settlement for former residents. But when Bosch's half-brother, defense attorney Mickey Haller, brings him word that Harry is entitled to $400,000, Bosch says he doesn't want the money. He wants justice. News of the settlement awakens his memories of a place he had hoped never to revisit, and a boy named Chops, a fellow inmate who wound up dead. Chops's body was found in a hidden space under a staircase that the staff used to discipline their charges. The kids knew it only as \"the hollow.\" But Chops's death was covered up and never solved. Now Bosch knows he must reopen the investigation and learn the truth, even if the killer is long dead. As Bosch digs into the files, he picks up the trail of a predator who not only survived, but went on to a life of vicious crime. Forced to face a history that both scarred him and launched him on his mission as a cop, Bosch must bring down a sadistic criminal and finally put to rest the demons of his past.

What happens to your phone when you die and who has access to your online legacy? When micro-influencer Tom Burne takes his own life, he leaves behind his phone, its password and a cryptic message that needs decoding. Seventeen-year-old Jamie doesn't intend to take the phone, but once he does, he knows it was meant for him. Fuelled by his own sense of isolation and the recent passing of his father, Jamie loses himself in uncovering the truth. The more he investigates the digital fragments contained within the phone, the deeper into Tom's dark world he falls. As his own grief resurfaces and with his mother pushing for them to move to a different country for a fresh start, Jamie has very little time to find out the harsh reality that led to Tom's tragic end.

A laugh-out-loud tale of friendship and finding yourself, set against the lively backdrop of New York City-perfect for fans of Dolly Alderton, Madeleine Gray and New Girl. Two best friends. One apartment. Zero chance of this going to plan. Austin and Sydney have been best friends since he moved into her shoebox apartment in New York City over a decade ago. Now in their early thirties and living with their long-term partners, their lives are finally on track: Austin is performing on Broadway and Sydney is the VP comma Marketing at a lucrative tech startup. Everything is perfect. They're so happy. (Right?) But when both of their relationships implode on the same night, Austin and Sydney realise that things weren't quite as perfect as they seemed, and that their only option is to move back in together. The pair make a pact to use their new twelve-month lease to break the cycle of their toxic habits. For Austin, this means not falling in love with every man who so much as looks at him; for Sydney, it means prioritising herself, for possibly the first time in history. It's not long, though, before Austin's resolve starts to crack-a gorgeous children's book editor has absolutely nothing to do with that-and Sydney slips back into old patterns, letting the shadow of Austin's presence eclipse her own needs. The question is: can people truly change? Or are these self-proclaimed soulmates doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over . . . and risk losing each other in the process?

Art and Life, Tragedy and Love, you'll find them all here in this rich and magnificent novel' Tan Twan Eng, Booker longlisted author of The House of Doors Can one rash decision prove the difference between a life well lived and a life destroyed? When the Marquis of Queensbury left his calling card at the Albemarle Club in February 1895, it bore only his name and five words: 'For Oscar Wilde, posing Somdomite'. The most feted playwright of his day famously sued for libel, which led to his arrest, criminal prosecution and ultimately prison. From then on, his gilded existence spiralled into public disgrace, humiliation and an early death. But what if he had simply ignored the insult? What direction might his life have taken? This is the premise of John Boyne's extraordinary new novel, The Weight of Angels. Rather than dying in penury in Paris at the age of forty-six, what if he had lived to bear witness to the momentous events and cataclysmic changes of the first part of the twentieth century, and even influence some of them? What if the second half of his life were as celebrated, dramatic, tumultuous and exhilarating as the first? In imagining the life that Oscar Wilde never had, John Boyne has written one of the great what-if stories of modern literature, giving the great Anglo-Irish poet and playwright a fresh new voice and the opportunity to take an entirely different path.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42800028975184,"sku":"9781529943856","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9781529943856_1.jpg?v=1785115905"},{"product_id":"hollywood-ending","title":"Hollywood, Ending","description":"\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e.cs97DFFCB{12pt;font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-style:normal;Times New Roman;} .cs3270F94{margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:0pt}\u003c\/style\u003e\r\n\t\r\n\t\u003cp class=\"cs3270F94\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs97DFFCB\"\u003e#1 bestselling author John Green makes his much-anticipated return to fiction with a behind-the-scenes Hollywood love story that brilliantly confronts the private cost of a public life. For rising young actors Kai Laramie and Juniper Castillo, being cast in the buzzy biopic Andy Warhol Never Gets Old is the opportunity they've both been waiting for. They're on the verge of breaking out, and maybe even falling in love. Soon, the movie is blowing up, and so are their lives-in exciting, but also terrifying, ways. John Green artfully blends a behind-the-scenes Hollywood love story with an unflinching examination of the insatiable attention economy. Told through dual points of view, the novel follows Kai and Juniper from the first days on location to the movie's premiere, brilliantly juxtaposing their story with the on-screen study of Warhol's life at the dawn of celebrity culture. Hollywood, Ending is a deeply observed novel about the tension between a public and a private life, and finding your safe someone to hold onto.

Maria Astorini, once late-night talk show darling, is having a moment. The B-list actress has survived deaths, divorces, a famous mother, a Hollywood blacklist, a string of public embarrassments, an aging face, financial ruin, an empty nest, a difficult best friend, and a worldwide pandemic. Now, she’s back and bigger than ever. A small, unexpected role has heightened her celebrity status and propelled her, at age sixty-five, into the limelight. And then, along comes the call Maria has spent decades avoiding. It’s her publisher asking, ‘Where is that book?’ But Maria hasn’t been able to write a book about her life – she’s been too busy living it. To finally fulfil her contract, Maria writes, or attempts to write, a pile of pages meant to vaguely resemble the book she promised to deliver nearly four decades earlier. In a series of bite-sized anecdotes, she candidly recalls her past, chronicling the significant, and insignificant, moments of her full, funny and extraordinarily unpredictable life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HC12","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42801633755216,"sku":"9781761828126","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9781761828126_1.jpg?v=1785199345"},{"product_id":"fade-in","title":"Fade In","description":"\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e.cs97DFFCB{12pt;font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-style:normal;Times New Roman;} .cs3270F94{margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:0pt}\u003c\/style\u003e\r\n\t\r\n\t\u003cp class=\"cs3270F94\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs97DFFCB\"\u003eWhen ex-Navy SEAL Salam \"Fade\" al-Fayed wakes from a coma in a prison hospital, a shadowy organization offers him the only way out—through a high-stakes military mission. An electrifying international political espionage thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kyle Mills. \"Wall to wall action. Great book,\" as recommended by bestselling thriller author Brad Thor on Today. \"Fade is a badass operator whom even a coma can’t stop. . . . Plenty of action, plenty of fun.\" —Kirkus Reviews When ex-Navy SEAL Salam \"Fade\" al-Fayed steps in front of a sniper's bullet, he assumes that he's reached the end of the road—his death wish has finally been answered. Instead, he wakes in a hospital. As one of the deadliest operatives in U.S. history, he's now incapable of even standing without assistance. Alone and wanted by authorities, he's destined to spend the rest of his life lying in a prison infirmary. So when a shadowy organization offers him a new identity and next-generation medical care, he has no choice but to agree. Nothing's free, though. After a grueling rehabilitation, he's drafted into an elite paramilitary unit equipped with cutting-edge military technology. But who's in charge? A dire threat soon provides the answer: a highly contagious pathogen explodes out of China, and a select group of the world's wealthiest and most powerful people decide that governments are no longer capable of controlling the chaos erupting around the globe. It's a power grab by billionaires who've decided that it's their time to rule. With panic rising worldwide, the leaders of both democracies and dictatorships prove equally willing to destroy anything and anyone to save themselves. Forced into action before he's fully ready, Fade finds himself at the sharp end of a mission to stop a menace unlike any he's faced before. If he fails, the consequences will be unimaginable. But what if he succeeds? No one elected the people he's working for. And God sure as hell didn't ordain them. Has he signed on to save the human race . . . or to help quietly enslave it? Fade In tackles the complex threats of international espionage, power imbalances, and global terrorism–and introduces a character destined to take his place among legends like Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp, Robert Ludlum’s Jason Bourne, Lee Child’s Jack Reacher, and Daniel Silva’s Gabriel Allon. \"The prose snaps and hums. . . Fade In is a gripping, violent, and often heartbreaking book. It’s for readers who like their thrillers with a sharp philosophical bite.\" —Literary Titan Kyle Mills is the author of nine New York Times bestselling Vince Flynn novels featuring Mitch Rapp.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HC12","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42801634771024,"sku":"9798893311792","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9798893311792_1.jpg?v=1785199387"}],"url":"https:\/\/beaumarisbooks.com.au\/collections\/latest-fiction-releases.oembed?page=5","provider":"Beaumaris Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
