'Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.' So says Rat to Mole, as he introduces him to the delights of the river and his friends Toad, the spirit of rebellion, and Badger, the spirit of England. But it is a world where the motor-car is about to wreck the gipsy caravan, the revolutionaries in the Wild Wood are threatening the social fabric, the god Pan is abroad, and the warm seductive whispers of the south are drifting into the English lanes. An international children's classic, The Wind in the Willows grew from the author's letters to his young son, yet it is concerned almost exclusively with adult themes: fear of radical changes in political, social, and economic power. Mole's acceptance into the conservative world of the River Bank, and Toad's wild attempts to escape from it, are narrated in virtuoso language ranging from lively parody to elaborate fin-de-siècle mysticism. A profoundly English fiction with a world following, it is a book for adults adopted by children, a timeless masterpiece, and a vital portrait of an age.

*A GRIPPING OMNIBUS FEATURING THE NEWEST NOVEL IN THE DS ALEXANDRA CUPIDI SERIES* The Birdwatcher is a crime novel of suspense, intelligence and powerful humanity about fathers and sons, grief and guilt and facing the darkness within... Salt Lane - DS Alexandra Cupidi has done it again. She should have learnt to keep her big mouth shut, after the scandal that sent her packing - resentful teenager in tow - from the London Met to the lonely Kent coastline. Murder is different here, among the fens and stark beaches... Deadland brilliantly captures Kent and its social divisions, it's a crime thriller that's as ingeniously unguessable as it is moving and powerful. Grave's End confronts the crisis in housing, environmentalism, historic cases of abuse and the protection given to badgers by the law. The Trawlerman shows that deceit can be found in the most unlikely places. The brooding waters of the Kent coastline offer an ominous backdrop for this lively page-turner of corruption, mental health and the complexities of human connection. 'If you're not a fan yet, why not?' VAL MCDERMID

Sixteen-year-old Joe Hawkins is the anti-hero's anti-hero. His life is ruled by clothes, beer, football and above all violence - violence against hippies, authority, racial minorities and anyone else unfortunate enough to get in his way. Joe is a London skinhead - a member of a uniquely British subculture which arose rapidly in the late 1960's. While other skins were driven mainly by music, fashion and working-class pride, Joe and his mob use their formidable street style as a badge of aggressive rage, even while Joe dreams of making a better life for himself. Lacerating in its depiction of violence and sex, often shocking by today's standards, Skinhead is also a provocative cross-section of urban British society. It doesn't spare the hypocrisy, corruption or excessive permissiveness which, the author believed, allowed the extremist wing of skinhead culture to flourish. Skinhead, first published in 1970 and a huge cult bestseller, is now available for the first time in ebook form, with a new introduction by Andrew Stevens. Nearly fifty years on, it remains one of the most potent artefacts of British popular culture ever committed to print. "I did happen to read the book when it came out and I was quite interested in the whole Richard Allen cult... suedeheads and skinheads and smoothies were very much part of daily life. There was a tremendous air of intensity... something interesting grabbed me about the whole thing." Morrissey "(Richard Allen's) work shouldn't require a theoretical summing up, once enough of those to whom it appeals understand its attraction we will have superceded this society." Stewart Home

High in Bulgaria's Rila Mountains, a young woman's body is found near the legendary Seven Lakes trail. The official story is simple: a bear attack. Brutal. Tragic. Case closed. But former cop Stefan Hristov-the hiker who discovers the body-knows better. The scene is too precise. Too rehearsed. Too wrong. When his questions are dismissed, then quietly discouraged... and finally threatened, Stefan realizes the "bear" is nothing but a convenient cover. Something else is prowling these mountains-something human, organized, and far more dangerous. Tracing scattered clues, Stefan finds hints of a hidden structure operating in the region: remote facilities sealed from public view, staff too afraid to speak, and missing young women whose names never appear in official reports. Everything points toward a powerful organization able to erase evidence, silence witnesses, and bend the truth into whatever shape it needs. Stefan doesn't know the full extent of what hides beneath Rila's ancient peaks. Not yet. But he knows one thing: If the truth comes out, it will shatter lives... including his own. Caught between the raw wilderness and ruthless men who guard their secrets with blood, Stefan must confront not only the predators in the shadows, but the demons from his past that cost him his badge. And he must do it before the mountains claim another victim. Because in Rila, the real monsters aren't where the bears roam. They walk on two legs.

An "A" for "adultery" marks Hester Prynne as an outcast from the society of colonial Boston. Although forced by the puritanical town fathers to wear a bright red badge of shame, Hester steadfastly resists their efforts to discover the identity of her baby's father. The return of her long-absent spouse brings new pressure on the young mother, as the aggrieved husband undertakes a long-term plot to reveal Hester's partner in adultery and force him to share her disgrace. Masterful in its symbolism and compelling in its character studies, Nathaniel Hawthorne's tale of punishment and reconciliation examines the concepts of sin, guilt, and pride. The Scarlet Letter was published to immediate acclaim in 1850. Its timeless exploration of moral and spiritual issues, along with its philosophical and psychological insights, keep it ever relevant for students of American literature and lovers of fiction.

In Blackwell, Oregon, everyone knows everyone's secrets. Except the one that could destroy them all. Detective Maya Torres has spent thirteen years protecting her small town, following the rules, and trusting the system. She learned everything from Chief Bob Garrett, the man who became her mentor and father figure. But when Sarah Hartley walks into the station with evidence her son's decade-old drowning wasn't an accident, Maya's carefully ordered world begins to crack. Brendan Hartley was seventeen when he died. The official story: a tragic accident, a boy swimming drunk, a case closed with sympathy and sorrow. But Sarah never believed it. And now she has proof. As Maya reopens the investigation, she uncovers a pattern of suppressed evidence, silenced witnesses, and convenient gaps in the original case file. The trail leads to Tyler Harrison, grandson of Blackwell's most powerful family-and to a cover-up that reaches into the heart of her own department. Chief Garrett warns her to drop it. Her fellow officers turn hostile. The town chooses sides. Someone is watching her, following her, making it clear that some truths are too dangerous to expose. Maya must decide: stay loyal to the man who made her career, or honor her oath to the badge she wears. Expose the truth and destroy her town's economy, or become complicit in the very corruption she swore to fight. Because in Blackwell, they're all guilty. The question is: what will one honest cop do about it? We Are All Guilty Here is a gripping detective mystery about institutional corruption, the cost of truth, and one woman's refusal to look away-even when justice demands she sacrifice everything. Perfect for readers who love Tana French, Jane Harper, and morally complex crime fiction where doing the right thing is never simple.
