Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can take a cat to water but you can't make it think. Last summer, Chris Pascoe decided to do something monumentally stupid. He decided to stay at home with his two-and-a-half-year-old daughter Maya and disaster-prone tabby Birmingham, Brum for short. And also with Brum's rather vicious live-in-partner-girl-cat Sammy, who he intended mainly not to wake. Let biting cats lie. Why he believed time with Brum would, with all the years of contrary evidence, be quality he's not at all sure . . . The result is a series of tales of death-defying feats. Paddling pools, gazebos, small birds and kitchens - all aspects of normal life can take a dangerous turn with the presence of Brum. Pascoe tries to train the tabby, restrain the tabby and even researches the stories of other danger cats in a bid to keep Brum alive a bit longer. And amazingly, despite the efforts of his exuberant two-year-old with a plastic mallet, he still is.

Book excerpt: In this chillingly plausible thriller, CWA Gold Dagger winner Mick Herron proves he “never tells a suspense story in the expected way” (The New York Times Book Review). When a highly classified espionage operation breaks down, a prisoner escapes from a transport vehicle on the busy ring road outside Oxford. Now an armed and desperate man is on the loose. He has taken refuge in a preschool, where a collection of teachers, parents, and students were about to start their day. No one understands what Jaime Segura wants, and he refuses to speak to anyone but an MI6 spy named Ben Whistler, a coworker of Jaime’s boyfriend, Milo, who has gone missing. Now, as law enforcement descends upon this quiet corner of Oxfordshire, Jaime holds the preschool hostage as his collateral, and one teacher, Louise Kennedy, finds herself in the terrifying position of protecting innocent children from the terrible decisions of the adults around them. As Louise steels her nerves and weighs her every decision, she also begins to put together the fragments of truth from the chaos around her—and no one is fiercer or more resourceful than a teacher on the trail of justice.

Book excerpt: The CWA Gold Dagger Award-winning British espionage novel about disgraced MI5 agents who inadvertently uncover a deadly Cold War-era legacy of sleeper cells and mythic super spies. The disgruntled agents of Slough House, the MI5 branch where washed-up spies are sent to finish their failed careers on desk duty, are called into action to protect a visiting Russian oligarch whom MI5 hopes to recruit to British intelligence. While two agents are dispatched on that babysitting job, though, an old Cold War-era spy named Dickie Bow is found dead, ostensibly of a heart attack, on a bus outside of Oxford, far from his usual haunts. But the head of Slough House, the irascible Jackson Lamb, is convinced Dickie Bow was murdered. As the agents dig into their fallen comrade's circumstances, they uncover a shadowy tangle of ancient Cold War secrets that seem to lead back to a man named Alexander Popov, who is either a Soviet bogeyman or the most dangerous man in the world. How many more people will have to die to keep those secrets buried?

Book excerpt: Zane Haney has been forced to take care of the family in the bayou country because his father is in the Veteran’s hospital. Zane receives help from his grandfather, but his burden is heavy. On top of Zane’s daily problem of putting food on the table, after a tornado strikes near the Haney shack, a huge whooping crane hobbles out of the thicket into Mama Haney’s chicken yard, scaring Bubba, Zane’s younger brother, and Luci, his baby sister. Zane stops Bubba from shooting the whooper, which Mama later names Old Crip, because Zane had learned the whooper was almost extinct. Although Mama doesn’t like it one bit, since Zane is the breadwinner, she lets him keep the giant crane, doctor its leg and wing, and feed it. Zane overcomes many obstacles as he struggles to keep the family fed, knowing the doctors had given up on Papa Haney walking again—except Zane never gave up hope, and somehow he had a weird feeling that if he could get the whooper well enough to fly, his Papa, who had finally become crippled, would get well and walk. As it turned out, Papa walked before Old Crip flew. Papa had surprised himself when the Scruggs bunch threatened his family. Papa walked. Later, he helps Zane rescue Nanette, Zane’s girl friend from a murderer. At the end, when the little family sees Old Crip get up and fly toward the Texas Gulf Coast, Bubba asks, “What caused Old Crip to fly? ” “Instinct, I reckon,” Zane returned. “What is instinct, though?” Bubba asked. “It’s love.” Papa Haney said, knowing that was what enabled him to walk again.
