omething has happened to Peach. Blood runs down her legs Sand the scent of charred meat lingers on her flesh. It hurts to walk but she staggers home to parents that don’t seem to notice.

Peach must patch herself up alone so she can go to college and see her boyfriend, Green. But sleeping is hard when she is haunted by the gaping memory of a mouth, and working is hard when burning sausage fat fills her nostrils, and eating is impossible when her stomach is swollen tight as a drum.

Intensely physical, with rhythmic, visceral prose, Peach marks the arrival of a ground- breaking new talent. 11 JANUARY 2018 HARDBACK • 9781408886694 • £12.99 ‘An immensely talented young writer . . .

The charming start of a new comic crime series set in Brighton, from one of Britain’s most-loved writers, Lynne Truss

fter the notorious ‘Middle Street Massacre’ of 1951, when Athe majority of Brighton’s criminals wiped one another out in a vicious battle as the local police force enjoyed a brief stop en route for an ice cream, Inspector Steine rather enjoys life as a policeman. No criminals, no crime, no stress. He just wishes Sergeant Brunswick would stop insisting that perhaps not every criminal was wiped out that fateful day.

So it’s really rather annoying when an ambitious new constable shows up to work and starts investigating a series of burglaries. And it’s even more annoying when Constable Twitten is dispatched to the theatre and sits next to a vicious theatre critic who is promptly shot dead partway through the opening night of a new play.

It seems Brighton may be in need of a police force after all…

A gripping book from the man who released the Pentagon Papers, to be made into a film by Steven Spielberg

No other insider has written so candidly of the long-classified nuclear strategies of the Eisenhower and early Kennedy years, when Ellsberg had high-level access to them. Ellsberg also shows that nothing has fundamentally changed since that era. His analysis of recent research on the creation of a nuclear winter indicates that even a ‘small’ nuclear exchange would cause billions of deaths.

Why economists are getting it wrong and what we can do about it David Pilling

A revelatory book about how to correct the pitfalls of our economy, by an award-winning editor of the Financial Times

s measured by GDP, the economy is in a golden era. But if this Ais the case, why are we living in such fractured times, with global populism on the rise and wealth inequality as stark as ever?

Revered by economists, GDP is considered evidence of a country’s success and well-being – but, Pilling argues, it’s actually totally inadequate. GDP likes crime because it is fond of large police forces. It likes Hurricane Katrina and is quite OK with wars. It is good at counting, but a pretty poor judge of quality. We prioritise GDP maximisation without stopping to think about the costs.

Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby reimagines the values necessary to radically rebuild Britain today.

n a time of political turmoil, and as the Welfare State so closely Iassociated with Archbishop William Temple totters under the strain in a country that has changed almost beyond recognition since 1945, Temple’s successor, Justin Welby, draws on history and Christian social teaching to identify the values that will enable us to reimagine, and to enact, a hopeful future.

The work of reimagining is as great as it was in 1945, and will happen either by accident – and thus badly – or deliberately. Examining key areas such as health, housing, and education; family; the environment; the economy; peace-building and overseas development; immigration and integration, the author identifies building blocks for reimagining ‘British Values’ and their implementation in a post-Brexit, multicultural country.

ORIGINAL NON-FICTION 45 Eat the Apple Matt Young

A beautiful, gut-wrenching memoir exploring toxic masculinity, the devastating consequences of war and the absurdism of twenty-first century conflict

att Young joined the Marine Corps aged 18, after a drunken Mnight which culminated in him crashing his car into a fire hydrant. The teenage wasteland he fled from followed him to the training bases of California. Young survived training and then three deployments to Iraq as an infantryman.

Eat the Apple is the searing and honest response to those years. Visceral, ironic, self-lacerating and ultimately redemptive, Young’s story drops us unarmed into Marine Corps culture and lays bare the vulnerability of those on the front lines and the true, if often misguided, motivations that drove a young man to a life in the military.
