During one long, hot summer, five-year-old Pea and her little sister Margot play alone in the meadow behind their house, on the edge of a small village in Southern France. Her mother is too sad to take care of them; she left her happiness in the hospital, along with the baby. Pea's father has died in an accident and Maman, burdened by her double grief and isolated from the village by her Englishness, has retreated to a place where Pea cannot reach her - although she tries desperately to do so.Then Pea meets Claude, a man who seems to love the meadow as she does and who always has time to play. Pea believes that she and Margot have found a friend, and maybe even a new papa. But why do the villagers view Claude with suspicion? And what secret is he keeping in his strange, empty house?Elegantly written, haunting and gripping, The Night Rainbow is a novel about innocence and experience, grief and compassion and the dangers of an overactive imagination.

‘Serial killers experience the power over life and death as omnipotence … When I interrogate a serial killer, I dive into the abyss of his soul.’ From 1994 to 2000, when South Africa was a young democracy, the country was stalked by a succession of brutal serial killers. Psychologist Micki Pistorius became the first profiler for the South African Police Service, playing a vital role in identifying and interrogating these killers, as well as training detectives nationally and in other countries. She broke ground with her theory on the origin of serial killers and is considered a trailblazer in her field. Catch Me a Killer details the cases she worked on – from the Station Strangler and the Phoenix Cane Killer to Boetie Boer and the Saloon Killer. The book also features legendary detectives such as Piet Byleveld and Suiker Britz, as well as the FBI’s Robert Ressler. Released alongside a major TV series based on the book, this new edition of Catch Me a Killer includes a new chapter and up-to-date information about some of the cases, such as the parole of Norman Afzal Simons in 2023. This is essential reading for all true crime aficionados.

"She is a soul who inhales maladies and exhales melodies" - Dr N K Sharma, Poet, Formerly Professor of English. M Phil, Ph D., A Frostian Scholar. "Sunita Grover Raina, an Indian poet writing in English, is a name to reckon with as a poet of the finest sensibility, whose poetry is a mosaic of vivid imagery and sensuous impressions, with frequent forays into an understated philosophy. Her ease with simple phrasing, her dense texture of metaphorical echoes, and the limpid flow of her mellifluous lines make her poetry a delectable read. Her debut book of poetry, titled “Sunny Rainbow" I believe, will stand out as a milestone in the contemporary literary journey of Indian English poetry." - Dr Jay Sankar Basu Poet, Associate Professor of ELT CLTCS, NSOU. "Sunita Grover Raina, a poet of originality, candid feelings and truth wrapped in the attire of beauty is a rising star on the horizons of English poetry inked in non-English speaking countries. Her poems so often win glamour and accolades. She is a popular poet and the secret behind her poetic fame rests on the pillars of truth, outspoken attitude and beautiful blending of fine thoughts weaved in still more fine words. She says what she feels and that is the thing that makes her lines penetrate deep into the hearts of readers." - Younas Rehman, Poet (Ex-Official at Civil Services Academy. Lahore, Pakistan)

In Sharon Cullars' dazzling new novel, two unlikely lovers give in to explosive desire. But guilt and long-buried secrets could destroy their future before it begins. . . It's been five years since Lacey Burnham saw Sean Logan, and in that time her son Calvin's best friend has turned from a surly youth into a handsome, self-assured young man. Crushed with grief over Cal's sudden death, Lacey offers Sean a place to stay while he's in town--an innocent proposal that quickly becomes anything but. Lacey is stunned and confused by the yearning he ignites with a single kiss. . . Beautiful, warmhearted Lacey Burnham was a haven of comfort in Sean's troubled youth. Now, against every shred of logic she possesses, Lacey is falling hard for Sean and for a heady carnal bliss she's never experienced before. But the ghosts of the past are waiting. And sooner or later, every shadow must face the light of day. . . "Chilling and deliciously erotic by turns, an absorbing rollercoaster ride of a book." --Angela Knight on Again Sharon Cullars lives in Chicago where she works as a research analyst for a professional association.
