Book Description
The King's First Minister Lord Robert Cecil, Earl of Salusbury, had set May 3rd as the date for the execution of the Jesuit leaders convicted of complicity in the Gunpowder Treason. He had delayed it twice before in hopes his army of Pursuivants would capture the remaining fugitive, flamboyant John Gerard in time for him to witness the grisly execution of the elderly Jesuit Superior, Henry Garnet, knowing he was to be the next to suffer. However, Gerard had eluded gallows justice more than once. His most notable effort had occurred while Elizabeth lived when the Jesuit escaped his Tower prison in an aerial fete involving linens and ropes. Other forces, not all of them English, had a rescue in the making involving the Scottish adventurer Will Hepburn's ship, La Belle Ecossaise. It was far short of an ironclad scheme. Sir William Hepburn had an unbridled distrust of the English and scant affection for the newly anointed King James I, ostentatious son of the Queen of Scots who for a few months almost forty years ago had been his infant stepbrother.Moreover, Hepburn had inherited his dead father Bothwell's abiding distrust of all things Catholic. When James was wee, Bothwell stood outside of the door during the Christening. He had made Queen Marie cry by refusing to marry her in a Catholic ceremony. Even if the powers seeking Will's cooperation found a way to manipulate him into participating in a most unlikely a rescue, Gerard's supporters would have to find him first and deliver him to a coastal port and row. Will knew more enough about the Earl of Salisbury and the Gunpowder Treason to feel safer in open waters than at the Stuart Court. Also, Hepburn had promised his guidwife Daisy Kirkcaldie never again to set foot on English soil. While Hepburn was an adventurer famous for his derring-do, Daisy was no one to be crossed. Moreover, even if the rescue party had the means to enlist Hepburn's sense of honor and engage Daisy's determination to ride into the breach, what if the charismatic English Jesuit John Gerard were to have conflicting passions of is own?

Book Description
When a magical creature kills, is it murder? On the day Abyowith is promoted to Assistant Stalker, a City Councillor is found is garroted in a locked room. All signs point to a miscreation—a magically created beast—but why would a miscreation break into a man’s house, kill him, and lock the door after? And why, that night, does a voice in the darkness tell Abyowith, “Leave him alone!" With no motive to be found and more victims coming to light, Abyowith begins a search for answers that takes her from the halls of power to the city’s underbelly. And as she closes in on the killer, Abyowith discovers that learning why the Councillor died may be even more dangerous than tracking the creature who killed him.

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A bright new voice in the fantasy genre” (George R. R. Martin), acclaimed author Scott Lynch continues to astound and entertain with his thrillingly inventive, wickedly funny, suspense-filled adventures featuring con artist extraordinaire Locke Lamora. And The Republic of Thieves is his most captivating novel yet. NAMED ONE OF PASTE’S BEST FANTASY BOOKS OF THE DECADE With what should have been the greatest heist of their career gone spectacularly sour, Locke and his trusted partner, Jean, have barely escaped with their lives. Or at least Jean has. But Locke is slowly succumbing to a deadly poison that no alchemist or physiker can cure. Yet just as the end is near, a mysterious Bondsmage offers Locke an opportunity that will either save him or finish him off once and for all. Magi political elections are imminent, and the factions are in need of a pawn. If Locke agrees to play the role, sorcery will be used to purge the venom from his body—though the process will be so excruciating he may well wish for death. Locke is opposed, but two factors cause his will to crumble: Jean’s imploring—and the Bondsmage’s mention of a woman from Locke’s past: Sabetha. She is the love of his life, his equal in skill and wit, and now, his greatest rival. Locke was smitten with Sabetha from his first glimpse of her as a young fellow orphan and thief-in-training. But after a tumultuous courtship, Sabetha broke away. Now they will reunite in yet another clash of wills. For faced with his one and only match in both love and trickery, Locke must choose whether to fight Sabetha—or to woo her. It is a decision on which both their lives may depend. Praise for The Republic of Thieves “Fast paced, fun, and impossible to put down . . . Locke and company remain among the most engaging protagonists in fantasy.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “The Republic of Thieves has all the colorful action, witty repartee, and devious scheming that fans of the series have come to expect.”—Wired “A fantasy world unique among its peers . . . If you’re looking for a great new fantasy series this is one you won’t want to miss. . . . In a word: AWESOME!”—SF Revu

Book Description
1929. Wall Street has crashed and the Great Depression dawns. Across America the attempt to keep the nation dry is failing. Illegal booze is king. Organised crime fights for bootleg territory on the streets. The Mob is at war. Into this cauldron steps a naive young Englishman, Jacob Wattworth. He dreams of movie stardom in Hollywood, but within days of stepping ashore in New York he becomes entangled with a rag-tag crew of raffish but lovable bootleggers led by chameleonic superwoman, Eleanor Macnamara. Murder, romance and comedy follow him from New York's mean streets to the frozen wilderness of Quebec's goldfields. Along the way, he engages with malevolent mobsters and colourful characters such as blind Colonel Selwyn Good and the flamboyant movie producer, Argus D. Lasalle. Always in love, but rarely in luck. Jacob is the plaything of events beyond his control. Even though his mentors, his girl, his friends, desert him or die, his optimism always sustains him.
