Is this Scarpetta’s last stand? In this gripping Kay Scarpetta thriller from Patricia Cornwell, the “queen of forensic science literature” (Sun Herald), Dr Kay Scarpetta is faced with multiple murders and potential terrorism.
Determined to find out what happened to her former deputy chief, Jack Fielding, who was murdered six months earlier, Scarpetta travels to the Georgia Prison For Women, where an inmate has information not only on Fielding’s murder, but also on a series of other killings.
The massacre of an Atlanta family years ago, a young woman on death row, and the inexplicable deaths of many homeless people seem unrelated. But Scarpetta believes they are linked, and are connected to a terrifying terrorist plot. Hardback •

A chilling look at a satanic murderThe Boy In The Attic draws your attention to the disturbing murder of a young boy by his teenage neighbour – a Satanist.
Ireland, 1973. In a tiny village in Dublin, a seven-year-old boy was left in the care of his teenage neighbour. No-one suspected the teenager was a Satanist. They went out to the fields to look for rabbits. The child was never seen alive again.
For the first time, author and TV producer David Malone reveals the exact events of this murder, including how the boy was lured to his death, how the teenager came to be interested in the occult, and the nightmarish scene awaiting police when they entered the attic. But there is another question – why was this murder kept so quiet? Softcover •

From First Lady to formidable book editorJackie Kennedy Onassis, the wife of former U.S. president John F. Kennedy, never wrote a memoir, but she told her life story and revealed herself in intimate ways through the nearly 100 books she brought into print as an editor.

Meet the man behind WikiLeaksJulian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, is never far from the newspaper headlines. This is the controversial memoir that Julian worked on, but refused to publish.
This book is passionate, provocative and opinionated. The publishers have decided to publish it due to Julian’s contractual obligations. In order to create this unauthorised first draft, Julian sat for more than 50 hours of taped interviews and spent many late nights at Ellingham Hall (where he was living under house arrest) discussing his life and WikiLeaks with a ghost writer.
WikiLeaks has helped redefine our idea of investigative journalism as it tackles some hard-hitting issues and reveals political secrets. Softcover • 339 pages •
