Book Description
They say that everybody has a book in them. When I embarked on my retirement journey, I decided to discover mine, resulting in this, my debut novel. Amidst the ancient stones of Stonehenge, on the dawn of the new millennium’s first summer solstice, Christopher’s day takes an unexpected turn. A stray piece of paper, carried by the morning breeze, finds its way to him. But it’s not just the paper that captures his attention—it’s the captivating stranger who appears just as mysteriously. Together, they unravel the cryptic foreign writings on the paper, diving deep into a puzzle that leads them on a quest for understanding. Is the document they’ve stumbled upon a profound revelation or just an elaborate ruse? Join Christopher and his newfound companion as they journey to decode The Document, and in the process, discover more than they ever anticipated.

Soldier Tales - Reloaded By: John O’Brien Based on the true stories of author John O’Brien’s service in the Irish Defence Forces, these ten tales are a laugh-out-loud comedy of errors bursting with brilliant dialogue, ridiculous antics, and an unforgettable cast of hapless soldiers making the best of the humdrum routine of military life. From the mystery of the Sarge’s missing steak to the case of the Inexplicable Coffee to the epic bollix of the villa party in the final tale—and plenty in between—Soldier Tales: Reloaded is a hilarious collection of military farce in the vein of Catch-22, a book that will keep you laughing from the first page to the very last.

As the daughter of a billionaire and the owner of the city’s top wine store, Jordan Rhodes is invited to the most exclusive parties in Chicago.

Book Description
One of Japan’s great modern masters, Kaoru Takamura, makes her English-language debut with this two-volume publication of her magnum opus. Tokyo, 1995. Five men meet at the racetrack every Sunday to bet on horses. They have little in common except a deep disaffection with their lives, but together they represent the social struggles and griefs of post-War Japan: a poorly socialized genius stuck working as a welder; a demoted detective with a chip on his shoulder; a Zainichi Korean banker sick of being ostracized for his race; a struggling single dad of a teenage girl with Down syndrome. The fifth man bringing them all together is an elderly drugstore owner grieving his grandson, who has died suspiciously after the revelation of a family connection with the segregated buraku community, historically subjected to severe discrimination. Intent on revenge against a society that values corporate behemoths more than human life, the five conspirators decide to carry out a heist: kidnap the CEO of Japan’s largest beer conglomerate and extract blood money from the company’s corrupt financiers. Inspired by the unsolved true-crime kidnapping case perpetrated by “the Monster with 21 Faces,” Lady Joker has become a cultural touchstone since its 1997 publication, acknowledged as the magnum opus by one of Japan’s literary masters, twice adapted for film and TV and often taught in high school and college classrooms.
