Atlantic My Sister, the Serial Killer Braithwaite Oyikan

She thought she’d left her past behind • She was wrong… • Despite a childhood in the care system, Anna Price has beaten the odds and built for herself the perfect life, complete with beautiful seaside home, devoted husband and a job she loves • Then a policeman appears at Anna’s door: her estranged brother Henry is a wanted serial killer, and the police need Anna’s help to catch him before he strikes again • When an envelope turns up on her doorstep, Anna suddenly finds herself caught in a sick game. One that she remembers all too well from childhood – one that, this time, she must win at all costs…

Is murder in the blood? • In a sleepy Devon village, a woman is taken from the streets. Local vet Jenny is horrified. This kind of thing doesn’t happen here • But it’s not the first time she’s been so close to a crime scene. The daughter of a prolific serial killer, she’s spent her whole life running from who she really is • And the crime is harrowingly similar to those her father committed all those years ago… • But she’s not her father’s daughter • Is she?

Every marriage has its secrets… • Beth and Tom Hardcastle are the envy of their neighbourhood – they have the perfect marriage, the perfect house, the perfect family • When the police knock on their door one evening, Beth panics. Tom should be back from work by now – what if he’s crashed his car?

‘My name is Oscar and I’m ten years old . . . They call me Egghead and I look about seven. I live in hospital because of my cancer and I’ve never written to you because I don’t even know if you exist,’ writes Oscar in a letter to God • Oscar is ill and no one, especially not his parents, will tell him what he already knows: that he is dying. Granny Rose, the oldest of the ‘ladies in pink’ who visit Oscar and his fellow patients, makes friends with him. She suggests that he play a game: to pretend that each of the following twelve days is a decade of his imagined future. One day equals ten years, and every night Oscar writes a letter to God telling him about his life • The ten letters that follow are sensitive, funny, heartbreaking and, ultimately, uplifting

India joined the railway age late: the first line was not completed until 1853 but, by 1929, 41,000 miles of track served the country. However, the creation of this vast network was not intended to modernize India for the sake of its people but rather was a means for the colonial power to govern the huge country under its control, serving its British economic and military interests • Despite the dubious intentions behind the construction of the network, the Indian people quickly took to the railways, as the trains allowed them to travel easily for the first time. The Indian Railways network remains one of the largest in the world, serving over 25 million passengers each day • In this expertly told history, Christian Wolmar reveals the full story of India’s railways, from its very beginnings to the present day, and examines the chequered role they have played in Indian history and the creation of today’s modern state

Inside the corrupt and secret business of global shipping, the explosive true story of a notorious international fraud and murder • In July 2011, the oil tanker Brillante Virtuoso was drifting through the treacherous Gulf of Aden when a crew of pirates attacked and set her ablaze in a devastating explosion. But when David Mockett, a maritime surveyor working for Lloyd's of London, inspected the damaged vessel, he was left with more questions than answers. Soon after his inspection, he was murdered • Dead in the Water is a shocking expose of the criminal inner-workings of international shipping, an old-world industry at the backbone of our global economy. Through first-hand accounts of those who lived the hijacking - from members of the ship's crew and witnesses to the attacks, to the ex-London detectives turned private investigators seeking to solve Mockett's murder - award-winning reporters Matthew Campbell and Kit Chellel piece together the astounding truth behind one of the most brazen financial frauds in history

Ours is the age of global warming. Rising sea levels, extreme weather, forest fires. Dire warnings are everywhere, so why has it taken so long for the crisis to be recognised? • Here, for the first time, climate scientist Peter Stott reveals the bitter fight to get international recognition for what, among scientists, has been known for decades: human activity causes climate change. Across continents and against the efforts of sceptical governments, prominent climate change deniers and shadowy lobbyists, Hot Air is the urgent story of how the science was developed, how it has been repeatedly sabotaged and why humanity hasn’t a second to spare in the fight to halt climate change

Histories of the Unexpected not only presents a new way of thinking about the past, but also reveals the world around us as never before • Traditionally, the Romans have been understood in a straightforward way but the period really comes alive if you take an unexpected approach to its history. Yes, emperors, the development of civilisation and armies all have a fascinating history… but so too do tattoos, collecting, fattening, recycling, walking, poison, fish, inkwells and wicked stepmothers! • Each of these subjects is equally fascinating in its own right, and each sheds new light on the traditional subjects and themes that we think we know so well

After decades of peace and prosperity, the international order put in place after World War II is rapidly coming to an end. Disastrous foreign wars, global recession, the meteoric rise of China and India and the COVID pandemic have undermined the power of the West's international institutions and unleashed the forces of nationalism and protectionism • In this lucid and groundbreaking analysis, one of Britain's most experienced senior diplomats highlights the key dilemmas Britain faces, from trade to security, arguing that international co-operation and solidarity are the surest ways to prosper in a world more dangerous than ever

When the First World War broke out, the suffragettes suspended their campaigning and joined the war effort. For pioneering suffragette doctors (and life partners) Flora Murray and Louisa Garrett Anderson that meant moving to France, where they set up two small military hospitals amidst fierce opposition • Yet their medical and organisational skills were so impressive that in 1915 Flora and Louisa were asked by the War Ministry to return to London and establish a new military hospital in a vast and derelict old workhouse in Covent Garden’s Endell Street. That they did, creating a 573-bed hospital staffed from top to bottom by female surgeons, doctors and nurses, and developing entirely new techniques to deal with the horrific mortar and gas injuries suffered by British soldiers

Тони Куни, ди-джей местного радио, целыми днями выходит в эфир, беседуя со слушателями Корка. Они звонят, чтобы рассказать ему о перевернутых мусоровозах и назойливых художниках граффити, и каждая история - маленькое свидетельство суеты жизни, которая продолжается в округе. Однако вне эфира Тони чувствует себя неуютно. Его долгий брак натянут, у его дочери-подростка проблемы с психическим здоровьем, а потом ни с того ни с сего на связь выходит старая подруга и предлагает ему приехать в гости • У Лу Фитцпатрик, молодого продюсера радиошоу Тони, свои проблемы вне эфира. Она потеряла любимого кота, а из-за пьянства ее отца вечно возникают проблемы.

Юлаби-подросток и ее притягательная лучшая подруга Мария Фабиола владеют улицами Си-Клифф, их туманного прибрежного района Сан-Франциско. Они знают дома и пляжи Си-Клиффа, его укромные уголки и эксцентричных персонажей, а также высококлассную школу для девочек, которую они посещают. Однажды, идя в школу с друзьями, они становятся свидетелями ужасного происшествия – или нет? Эулаби и Мария Фабиола категорически расходятся во мнениях относительно того, что произошло, и за их разрывом следует внезапное исчезновение Марии Фабиолы – потенциальное похищение, которое потрясает тихое сообщество и угрожает раскрыть невысказанную правду • Трепетная и пронзительная книга «Мы управляем приливами» — это мастерский портрет Венделы Виды неповторимого места, стоящего на пороге радикальной трансформации
