Micah is the girl who cried wolf. A self-confessed liar, she loves the thrill of control that comes with making someone else believe in her version of the world. When Micah’s secret boyfriend is murdered, however, she pledges to tell the truth. But when the truth is so shocking, will anyone believe her? Liar is an absorbing and complex story, written in a deceptively simple style. The suspense builds steadily as Micah’s version of events twists and unravels, and the ending will make readers question not only the truth of Micah’s tale, but also their own willingness to believe.

Man and robots coexist in a world that looks like the near future. But someone or something is destroying the world’s most powerful robots, and a key figure in a robot rights group has been murdered. Interpol assigns robot Detective Gesicht to the case. He detects no other human presence in the room at the time of the murder: but the robot laws state that no robot may harm or kill a human being. And what to make of the staging of the victims with what looks like horns placed by their heads? An intriguing first volume in a series based on Osamu Tezuka’s iconic manga series Astro Boy.

A ghost writer is asked to step in and assist in finishing the memoirs of the recently retired British Prime Minister. The previous collaborator turned up dead on the shore in Martha's Vineyard where the former PM is staying. After some reluctant investigating the writer discovers that there may be more to his predecessor's death than a drunken accident and that there may be a sinister reason as to why it is so hard to find his client's true voice. This is a great page-turning thriller ripped straight from today's headlines and an indictment of recent British foreign policy.
