One of Us Is Lying meets Gossip Girl in The Headmaster's List, an edge-of-your-seat YA thriller about a fatal car crash and the dangerous lengths one teen will go to uncover the truth about what really happened. Friday night. The party of the summer. Four teens ride home together. Only one never makes it. When high school sophomore Chris Moore is tragically killed in a car crash, Armstrong Prep is full of questions. Who was at the wheel? And more importantly, who was at fault? Eighteen-year-old Spencer Sandoval wishes she knew. As rumors swirl that her ex, Ethan, was the reckless driver, she can’t bring herself to defend him. And their messy breakup has nothing to do with it – she can’t remember anything from that night, not even what put her in that car with Ethan, Chris, and Tabby Hill, the new loner in school. The hunt for answers intensifies when a local true crime podcast takes an interest in the case, pushing Spencer further into the depths of this sinister mystery. Was it all just a night out that went very wrong? And is it a coincidence that all but Chris is on Armstrong's esteemed honor roll, the Headmaster’s List?

It is violent also in the sense of mutilation of every kind of self suppressions to reach out to the reality of our desire for the Other. And the remaining 33 chapters actually become a surreal description of transcendence of every border line which human beings fear to cross. Indeed if our deeper and therefore unknown desires emerge from within and truly stand before us, it becomes exactly perceptible how a mysterious battleground of hate and love, love and death seek to destroy us and rebuild us. In the novel SHADOWS ARE ASSASSINS Shyamal Bhattacharjee, the author, makes his readers witness this perilous journey inside the mysterious battlefield human mind. Among the characters presented in the novel, some have their desired childhood and adolescence, some woman with repressed sexual desire, some woman her dead son, some man his dead father, some persons with their repressed homosexuality, some with their homicidal and suicidal tendencies. It is a dangerous shadow fight when different shadows of oneself become opponents in different lights It will not be wrong to mention that the the novel is written with a wonderful poetic language from the beginning to the end.

From Giller Prize winner, internationally acclaimed, and bestselling author Vincent Lam comes a superbly crafted, highly suspenseful, and deeply affecting novel set against the turmoil of the Vietnam War. Percival Chen is the headmaster of the most respected English school in Saigon. He is also a bon vivant, a compulsive gambler and an incorrigible womanizer. He is well accustomed to bribing a forever-changing list of government officials in order to maintain the elite status of the Chen Academy. He is fiercely proud of his Chinese heritage, and quick to spot the business opportunities rife in a divided country. He devotedly ignores all news of the fighting that swirls around him, choosing instead to read the faces of his opponents at high-stakes mahjong tables.

In the loneliness that follows, Percival finds solace in Jacqueline, a beautiful woman of mixed French and Vietnamese heritage, and Laing Jai, a son born to them on the eve of the Tet offensive. Percival's new-found happiness is precarious, and as the complexities of war encroach further and further into his world, he must confront the tragedy of all he has refused to see. Blessed with intriguingly flawed characters moving through a richly drawn historical and physical landscape, The Headmaster's Wager is a riveting story of love, betrayal and sacrifice.
