Doctor Perry prefers his patients old, lonely, and unloved. Because no one misses them when they disappear. Hiding from a traumatic past, retiree Elijah Cone spends his days at the Rose Haven Retirement Home waiting for death to relieve him of his all-consuming guilt and the worsening pain of his arthritis. But Elijah isn't the only one with a secret. Rose Haven's resident doctor has a secret too, one involving the bodies of his elderly patients. A profitable secret. A deadly side hustle. Forced into a fight for their lives, Elijah and the other residents of the retirement home soon learn that under Doctor Perry's care, death is a better option… After reading Doctor Perry, you'll be left questioning how much you trust your doctor. "Doctor Perry is a spine-tingling read and a slamming indictment on the blind trust we give to doctors." Doctor Perry is recommended for readers who enjoy reading thrillers tinged with a hint of the paranormal - think Stephen King with a medical degree.
The Garden is dying. Once a little piece of orchid paradise, now in the aftermath of the worst hurricane in Florida's living memory, it is shattered greenhouses, creeping mangroves and dangerously idle men. So when Romeo, an expert breeder of the lucrative ghost orchid, arrives from Honduras, keeper of the Garden, Blanchard, and his Irish right-hand man, Swallow, believe their fortunes are on the up. But Romeo may not be what he seems, and Swallow can't shake the feeling that the newcomer will threaten his privileged position in the Garden's creaking hierarchy. And the ghost orchid is infamously rare, a delicate and endangered species, hidden deep in a sweltering and treacherous cypress swam...

'I have never read such a stimulating short guide to art' Lynn Barber, Sunday Times Now Grayson Perry is a fully paid-up member of the art establishment, he wants to show that any of us can appreciate art (after all, there is a reason he's called this book Playing to the Gallery and not 'Sucking up to an Academic Elite'). Based on his hugely popular BBC Radio 4 Reith Lectures and full of pictures, this funny, personal journey through the art world answers the basic questions that might occur to us in an art gallery but seem too embarrassing to ask.
