An island shrouded in mist & a community with secrets buried in the past. When a young archaeologist studying on a site at Whalsay discovers a set of human remains, the island settlers are intrigued. Is it an ancient find
- or a more contemporary mystery? Then an elderly woman is shot in a tragic accident in the middle of the night. Shetland detective Jimmy Perez is called in by her grandson
- his own colleague, Sandy Wilson. The sparse landscape & the emptiness of the sea have bred a fierce & secretive people. Mima Wilson was a recluse. She had her l&, her pride & her family. As Jimmy looks to the islanders for answers, he finds instead two feuding families whose envy, greed & bitterness have lasted generations. Surrounded by people he doesn't know & in unfamiliar territory, Jimmy finds himself out of his depth. Then there's another death &, as the spring weather shrouds the island in claustrophobic mists, Jimmy must dig up old secrets to stop a new killer from striking again.

Three young Irish people have come to Australia, running from the economic ruins of their home country & their own unhappy lives. In this promised l&, stunned by the heat & the vast arid space of the interior, they each try to escape their past in a chaotic world of backpacker hostels, huge fruit farms & squalid factories, surrounded by new friends who are even more damaged & dangerous than they are themselves.

Red Cavalry

War`s mess and muddle, the brutality and the inanity of fighting-few have better captured this than Isaac Babel, who was a journalist with the Soviet First Cavalry Army. His unflinching portrayal of the murderous havoc of battle is offset by an unexpected and wry humour: having seen the fighting up close, Babel is able to find the funny side of war while depicting its bloody side-in all its mesmerising and casual violence. The lyricism and bitterness that characterise the thirty-five short stories of Red Cavalry are stunningly reproduced in this new translation by the award-winning Boris Dralyuk.
