Her fate was in their hands. Now their future is in hers. Kit's summer job at the Abbaye de Saint Maurice was supposed to be a clean slate - until she fell in with 'the Olympians', a clique of wealthy young academics staying nearby. Kit, desperate to fit in, was drawn to them like a moth to a flame. Then came the incident. One night. One choice. One secret too dark to name. Kit fled, and for ten years, she stayed gone. When an invitation arrives, summoning her back to the Abbaye, Kit returns - not for redemption, but for a reckoning. A former lover is writing a book that threatens to crack open the past, and the Olympians want Kit to silence him. Again. Will Kit be able to betray the man she once loved for the good of the rest? How far are her old friends willing to go to protect themselves? And, in a place where memory is a weapon and desire cuts deep, the real question is - who is Kit when the masks come off? Ideal for readers who: Have a soft spot for suspense about privilege, secrecy and reputations protecting the guilty. Expect a remote abbey and decade-old secret to give the reckoning a gothic edge. Pick up returns that turn old friendships, ambition and revenge into a trap. Seek dark-academia-adjacent thrillers where status is part of the danger.

You could probably run cities on the energy generated between directors like him and actresses like her. When Frida Slattery and John Reddan meet in a Dublin pub in 2006, neither can imagine how they will come to shape and define each other’s lives? Frida is struggling to launch her acting career, while John is already gaining a name for himself as a director. From the first they see in each other potential and the chance to create work that matters, though the lines between collaboration and exploitation, friendship and desire will prove dangerously slippery. With the financial crisis looming, the next 15 years takes them from Dublin to London, New York and LA, and through success and disappointment, joy and heartbreak. Their connection is tested and stretched to the point of rupture, but something remains that outlasts their work and the shifting perceptions of the period. FRIDA SLATTERY AS HERSELF is an epic and unforgettable story of love, ambition and two people coming of age, together and apart.

When Leila Reynolds is handed her first murder case, she’s shocked at how highprofile it is: the murder of a well-respected, well-known judge. This shouldn’t be the kind of case she’s leading; it’s way beyond her expertise. But the defendant, Jack Millman, is clear. He wants her, and only her. To make things worse, he’s refusing to talk. How is she supposed to prove herself on what appears to be an unwinnable case? Losing is not an option. She must find the most persuasive argument. Trials aren’t won by convincing judges or fellow barristers – they’re all about convincing a jury. Suddenly, Leila finds herself fighting not only to keep Jack out of prison, but also to keep her own secrets buried. It’s true what they say – there are two sides to every story. Guilty or not guilty? You decide... Ideal for readers who: Enjoy legal thrillers where the courtroom strategy matters as much as the crime. Like underdog barristers thrown into cases that could define their careers. Want a murder case built around silence, persuasion and the pressure of a jury. Prefer suspense that tests ambition, ethics and credibility under public scrutiny.
