JANUARY 2016 Beside Myself Ann Morgan As gripping as Gone Girl, as powerful as Elizabeth is Missing, Beside Myself is the story of twin sisters and a childhood game with devastating consequences Description Helen and Ellie are identical twins - like two peas in a pod, everyone says. The girls know this isn't true, though: Helen is the leader and Ellie the follower. Until they decide to swap places: just for fun, and just for one day. But Ellie refuses to swap back. And so begins a nightmare from which Helen cannot wake up. Her toys, her clothes, her friends, her glowing record at school, the favour of her mother and the future she had dreamed of are all gone to a sister who blossoms in the approval that used to belong to Helen. And as the years pass, she loses not only her memory of that day but also herself - until eventually only 'Smudge' is left. Twenty-five years later, Smudge receives a call from out of the blue. It threatens to pull her back into her sister's dangerous orbit, but if this is her only chance to face the past, how can she resist? Beside Myself is a compulsive and darkly brilliant psychological thriller about family and identity - what makes us who we are and how very fragile it can be.

Description Back in the 1990s, Billy Graves was one of the Wild Geese: a tight-knit crew of young mavericks, fresh to police work and hungry for justice, looking out for each other and their 'family' of neighbourhood locals. But then Billy made some bad headlines by accidentally shooting a ten-year-old boy while bringing down an angel-dusted berserker in the street. Branded a loose cannon, he spent years in one dead-end posting after another. Now he has settled into his role as sergeant in the Night Watch, content simply to do his job and go home to his family. But when he is called to the 4 a.m. stabbing of a man in Penn Station, Billy discovers the victim is the 'White' of one of his oldest friends, a former member of the Wild Geese, who is now retired. As the past comes crashing into the present, the Wild Geese seemingly rise from the dead, and the bad old run-and- gun days of the 90s are back with a vengeance.

It is just splendid." -- Bobbie Ann Mason Description Thirty years after her stepbrother's unsolved murder, a reluctant Mary Byrd Thornton is forced by a detective's call to return to her family and again confront the crime's irremovable stain. This stunning debut--from the cofounder of the legendary Square Books in Oxford, Mississippi--is a work of fiction, but the murder is based on the still-unsolved case of Lisa Howorth's stepbrother, a front page story in the Washington Post. And yet this is not a crime novel; it is an honest and luminous story of a particular time and place in the South, where even calamitous weather can be a character, everyone has a story, and all are inextricably entwined. With a flamboyant cast, splendid dark humor, a potent sense of history, and a shocking true story at its heart, Flying Shoes is a rich and candid novel from a fresh new voice about family and memory and one woman's flight from a wounded past. About the Author Lisa Howorth was born in Washington, D.C., where her family has lived for four generations. She moved to Oxford, Mississippi, where she married her husband, Richard, and raised their three children. They opened Square Books (named by Publishers Weekly as the 2013 Bookstore of the Year) in 1979. She received the Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts in 1996 and a MacDowell Colony Fellowship in 2007. Her writing has appeared in Garden & Gun and the Oxford American. This is her first novel.

Battling political and personal conflicts, he is relentlessly pursued by American spies, Australian agents and The Organizatsiya - the Russian criminal syndicate that forged him into 'The Wolf': a brutal and meticulous globally-feared killing machine. Then an unexpected encounter back in Australia challenges clandestine loyalties and presents a choice. A choice this callous assassin thought was no longer his to make. With the potential collapse of an international oil deal worth billions hanging in the balance, does he return to Moscow to wage a war, or will he command his own future and flee with the vengeful thief whose life he destroyed? About the Author War defines the first decade of Graham Potts's adult life. Always on the move, he has lived in almost every state in Australia. After challenging assignments with the Royal Australian Air Force, his inner strategist acknowledged the truth: writing is his true passion. His action-packed style throws you into international conflicts closer to home than you think. Graham has a fondness for literature and appetite for intrigue. He tells stories that captivate, thrill and touch on the truth. Price: $29.99 (NZ$32.99) ISBN: 9781921997556 And if you buy him a scotch, he might tell you a tall one or two.
