Find a Penny, Pick It Up
Jack Sinclair is no different from any other fifty something, widowed insurance salesman. Except that for a sideline, he kills people . . . for money. When a publicity driven attorney begins a crusade to free the self-confessed killer of Jack's wife, Jack takes it upon himself to make things right by killing the attorney. He gets away with it, or so he thinks, until a self-styled vengeance broker named Eddie blackmails Jack into doing more killing to keep his secret. After several years of doing Eddie's bidding, Jack agrees to do one last job, but winds up falling in love with the intended victim. When Jack makes the decision to protect Allison Wesson, instead of killing her, he becomes a target of hired assassins. The story has several plot twists, and Eddie, the vigilante, becomes an ingratiating character as he aides Jack in his efforts to save Allison's life.

May It Have a Happy Ending
A searing, intimate and blisteringly honest memoir about mothers and daughters, grief and healing, and finding your voice. Minelle Mahtani had taken a leap of faith. A new mother in a new life, she'd moved across the country for love, and soon found herself facing the exciting and terrifying prospect of hosting her own radio show. But as she began to find her place in the majority white newsroom, she was handed devastating news: her Iranian mother had been diagnosed with tongue cancer. Just as Minelle was finding her voice, her mother was losing hers. What does it mean to amplify the voices of others while the stories of your ancestors are being buried in your mother's mouth? Why do we cling to superstition and luck when we’ve lost all faith in healing those we love? And how do we juggle bearing the burden of looking after an ill parent when we are trying to parent our own children? In exquisitely lyrical and inventive prose, Mahtani recounts the experience so many of us recognize: a life calibrated through calculating when to speak and when to be silent in a world that feels like it forces us to be broken.

Killing for Show
See firsthand how war photography is used to sway public opinion. In the autumn of 2014, the Royal Air Force released blurry video of a missile blowing up a pick-up truck which may have had a weapon attached to its flatbed. This was a lethal form of gesture politics: to send a £9-million bomber from Cyprus to Iraq and back, burning £35,000 an hour in fuel, to launch a smart missile costing £100,000 to destroy a truck or, rather, to create a video that shows it being destroyed. Some lives are ended—it is impossible to tell whose—so that the government can pretend that it taking effective action by creating a high-budget snuff movie. This is killing for show. Since the Vietnam War the w...
