An Englishman in New York
Have you ever wanted a first-hand glimpse into post-war 1940s New York? When 21-year-old John Miskin Prior travelled by ship to New York in 1948, he had no idea he was going to meet and dine with the Roosevelts and the Rockefellers. No idea he would be among the first ever to see 'South Pacific' and 'Death of a Salesman'. No idea he would witness Truman's election victory, so unexpected, the newspapers were reprinted. This eyewitness account of an English student living in New York for the incredible year of 1948 - 49 has been collated from his letters discovered after his death, and forms a unique account of the period.
Siege
After highly trained gunmen take over the Stanhope Hotel in London and become more violent as the night wears on, the hostages wonder if they're ever going to see the morning light.
Burning Province
Acerbic, moving, and formally astonishing, Michael Prior's second collection explores the enduring impact of the Japanese internment upon his family legacy and his mixed-race identity. Canada-Japan Literary Award, Winner Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize, Winner Raymond Souster Award, Shortlist Amid the record-breaking wildfires that scorched British Columbia in 2015 and 2017, the poems in this collection move seamlessly between geographical and psychological landscapes, grappling with cultural trauma and mapping out complex topographies of grief, love, and inheritance: those places in time marked by generational memory "when echo crosses echo." Burning Province is an elegy for a home aflame and for grandparents who had a complex relationship to it--but it is also a vivid appreciation of mono no aware: the beauty and impermanence of all living things. "The fireflies stutter like an apology," Prior writes; "I would be lying to you / if I didn't admit I love them."
The Anticlockwise Proposal
When Simon embarks on an around-the-world quest to find the perfect engagement ring, he has no idea he'll re-enact a celebrity double murder, check into a Chinese torture facility, star as James Bond in an underwater movie and take part in an opium den toilet-paper hunt. As he fights off Cantonese Pavarottis, Chihuahua-brandishing socialites, dodgy diamond dealers and hen-pecked secret agents, will he ever persuade his girlfriend to accept his proposal, or will he have to abandon his plans and remain a bachelor forever?
The Scenicland Radio
When English city boy Simon follows his girlfriend across the world to her family farm in remotest New Zealand, he has no idea he'll be force-fed a meal of beetle larva, get pushed off the road by half a house, and be inspected by indignant penguins and flattened by a giant leaf-blower. As he poisons the milk, dive-bombs the bulls, and loses the herd of cows in a river, will he ever learn to be a farmer, or will he have to stop impersonating a country boy, and return to London?
The Saboteur
A stunning, apocalyptic standalone sequel to The Stranger. The Terrorist Guy Fowle, known as the Stranger, escapes from prison. A mysterious Russian hacker is murdered in London and his thumb cut off. At the heart of government, the Chancellor of the Exchequer is desperate to keep a secret. It's a puzzle that Jude Lyon of MI6 must solve, and quickly. If he doesn't the world will literally go up in flames. ***** 'Violent, authentic and alarmingly believable story about modern spying' - Sun 'There's a healthy crop of younger spy writers ripening just now, and Simon Conway is among the pick of the bunch' - The Times 'A superb writer, with great imagination, inventiveness and the ability to portray events with simplicity and urgency' - Michael Jecks, author of Act of Vengeance 'Conway has created, with Jude Lyon, a very modern hero, and one who will run for many more stories, I hope. Basically, if you are going to read any thriller this year, make it this one' - Shots Magazine
