This surprising story will knock you sideways!Harlan Coben’s huge army of fans are clamouring for this book. It’s his second novel, but it’s never been published in the Australasian market and is hard to find globally.
Television reporter Sara Lowell and celebrity basketball star Michael Silverman are looking for a miracle cure. They are the perfect celebrity couple until their lives are shattered by a mystery illness, which turns out to be A.I.D.S, one of the most deadly diseases of modern times.
Dr Harvey Riker’s clinic has found the miracle cure for A.I.D.S., and his patients are getting better ... until they are targeted by a serial killer more fatal than the disease.
Harlan Coben is the megaselling author of Tell No One and Live Wire. Softcover •

Thief Of Hearts: Clea Rice is a reformed cat burglar whose search for justice has landed her in the arms of wealthy English gentleman Jordan Tavistock. But as their attraction grows, so does the danger. Will they survive long enough to discover each other’s deepest, darkest secrets? 2-in-1 softcover •

An incredible tale of corruption and deceitFind out why The Australian newspaper called author Michael Robotham “one of the best architects of the psychological thriller.”
The Wreckage opens in London as ex-cop Vincent Ruiz is robbed after he rescues a young woman from her violent boyfriend. When he tracks the thieves, he discovers the boyfriend’s tortured body and learns that powerful men are searching for the woman.
Meanwhile in Baghdad, billions of dollars have gone missing from a local bank, and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Luca Terracini is trying to ‘follow the money.’ The dangerous trail will lead him to London, where he will team up with Ruiz.
Michael Robotham is the Sydney-based author of The Night Ferry and The Suspect. Softcover • 437 pages •
Another high intensity legal dramaJohn Grisham’s teenage legal eagle, Theodore Boone, is back in an exciting new adventure.
Theodore is 13 years old, but he knows more about law than most lawyers. In Theodore Boone: The Abduction, Theodore’s best friend, April, has disappeared. As fear ripples through his small hometown and the police hit dead ends, it’s up to Theodore to use his legal knowledge and investigative skills to chase down the truth and find his best friend.
Filled with the page-turning suspense that made John Grisham a number one international bestselling author, this book will appeal to both established fans and younger readers. The first book in this series, Theodore Boone, was a hit with both adults and teens. Softcover •

An absolutely riveting bookThe author of The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas, John Boyne, examines the events of World War I from the perspectives of two soldiers in The Absolutist.
In 1919, 20-year-old Tristan Sadler travels from London to Norwich to deliver letters to Marian Bancroft. Tristan fought alongside Marian’s brother, Will, during the war. In 1917, Will laid down his guns on the battlefield, declared himself a conscientious objector and was shot as a traitor, an act that brought shame on the Bancroft family. But the letters are not the real reason for Tristan’s visit – he holds a secret deep in his soul …
