📚 OUT NOW IN PAPERBACK! 📚
We’re thrilled to announce that Dead Behind the Eyes — the second book in Ian Moore’s gripping Loire Valley Mystery series — is now available in paperback!
When the decapitated body of a lonely man washes up on the River Loire, Lombard`s investigation draws him into the world of eco-terrorism, bio-medical research, French aristocracy and a violent plan to save the planet.
We are also delighted to celebrate the paperback release by announcing the winners of the giveaway we have been running on our page! Huge congratulations to:

‘Every now and then... I saw Mother
was haunted... I could not afford
to sit too long with my mother’s
ghosts.’
Tara’s ambition to swap the
dull smallness of her rural Pakistani
village for the city life is realised when
she marries an urban accountant.
But she is still shackled by expectation
and tradition: children, obeisance,
patriarchy. Not for always, though...

We are very excited to see Eleanor Chan @thoroughlyearlymodernellie and Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason @thekannehmasons in conversation at Hatchards @hatchardspiccadilly next week.
Why not join them – and our Chair, musicologist and broadcaster Emily MacGregor @emjmacgregor – for a fascinating evening discussing how music has threaded through human history and artistic self-expression?
In Duet: An Artful History of Music Chan explores the inter-relationships of sound and vision, music and art. Taking us on an exhilarating journey that encompasses a 35,000-year-old flute found in a German cave, Kandinsky`s kaleidoscopic paintings, illuminated manuscripts and haute couture, we discover a long historical interplay of music and art. But what might it mean to to trulyseemusic?
Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason’s memoir, House of Music: Raising the Kanneh-Masons, won the Royal Philharmonic Society’s Storytelling Award and her most recent book is To Be Young, Gifted and Black. Through conversations with her extraordinarily gifted family, all classical musicians, Kanneh-Mason explores what it’s like to come of age in these turbulent times, when Black artistic self-expression is so often met with disparagement and abuse online – and offers a hopeful, powerful way through.
Emily MacGregor is a writer, broadcaster, and music historian. Her book While the Music Lasts offers an erudite, lyrical, gently humorous and healing journey in making and participating in music.
Published today in paperback! For readers who love fascinating women’s biographies shot through with literary intrigue of the 20th century.
The Quality of Love is an intimate portrait of the stunning Paget Twins whose lives intersected with friends and lovers: George Orwell, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Arthur Koestler and many others.
A beautiful and deeply moving book about sisters who captured the attention of the world, order it from your nearest independent bookshop.
