Mrs Cook
In the great sweep of history, of winds, tides and seasons, there is a story of courage and survival that belongs not to a great sea captain, but to his wife...While James Cook circumnavigated the globe, travelling further than any man had before, Elizabeth Cook travelled with him in her thoughts, imagining the exotic, the sensual and the strange. There were months, sometimes years, with no word...But as James sailed into the blue, earning his place in history, Elizabeth Cook made discoveries of her own. Though she rarely left London, she was propelled on a journey into the far reaches of the human heart, a journey marked by James' departures and those of her six children, whom she lost one by one...This is a rich portrayal of the life of a woman whose passion and intellect matched that of her celebrated husband. It is a lyrical exploration of imagined interior worlds, shaped by historical fact. It is, above all, a celebration of love and endurance.

The Last Tango of Dolores Delgado
From the author of the bestselling Lambs of God. Claudia Valentine is back! Claudia Valentine, Australia's spunkiest female private eye returns - in her most exhilirating adventure. Being a minder for Dolores Delgado was no trouble at all for Claudia. Dolores slept all morning, shopped all afternoon and danced all night. Hanging out with this exotic and beautiful creature was fun as much as work. Then, things got complicated. Dolores dropped dead. On stage. With barely a mark on her perfect body. Claudia had never lost a client before. Let alone one who was also a friend. This was not going to be good for business. Claudia's investigation leads her into a steamy world of passion and intrigue, of death and double crosses, of romance and revenge. And finally to the truth hidden beneath the layers of dazzling deception.
The Sea Bed
From the author of the bestselling Lambs of God. A novel of desire, duty and secrets, The Sea Bed follows the journey of a Buddhist monk who leaves the safe predictability of his mountain monastery and ventures into the world to carry out a fellow monk's dying request. When he encounters abalone diving women in a remote coastal village he is torn between dedication to his task and surrendering to desire. While the monk skirts around the edges of the sea women community, at its heart is Chicken, a young diver witnessing the extinction of a way of life that has been her family's for generations. If only her sister Lilli returned, perhaps somehow that would bring renewal. But the past and its secrets weigh heavily on Lilli and she had her own reasons for disappearing all those years ago. Each of these characters is locked in their own isolation, yet their stories are connected in deep and sometimes surprising ways. A beautifully observed, lucid and evocative novel, The Sea Bed is an illuminating story of love, family and change. Utterly captivating.

The Case of the Chinese Boxes
From the author of the bestselling Lambs of God. The New Year started with a bang in Sydney's Chinatown - and it wasn't just the fireworks. While the rest of the country were celebrating, the biggest bank job in Australia's history was taking place. The press dubbed it 'The Great Chinese Takeaway'. And inside those stolen safety deposit boxes were items of much more value than money. Claudia Valentine is called in by the Chen family who are desperate for the return of a gold key embellished by a dragon. The hunt for this family heirloom spins her into a world of ancient treasures and modern Triad killings, through sleazy back streets and exotic oriental temples. And, everywhere, nothing is as it seems. 'Claudia Valentine rides again and it's a treat to renew the acquaintance of the spunky Sydney redhead.' - Katharine England, The Advertiser 'racy, funny and intriguing' - Sunday Mail 'keeps you guessing right through to the end' - Time Out
