SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2017 BAILEYS WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION LONGLISTED FOR THE 2017 ORWELL PRIZE What if the power to hurt were in women's hands? Suddenly - tomorrow or the day after - teenage girls find that with a flick of their fingers, they can inflict agonizing pain and even death. With this single twist, the four lives at the heart of Naomi Alderman's extraordinary, visceral novel are utterly transformed.

The Power

From the award-winning, bestselling author of The Power comes a white-knuckle tour de force and dazzling exploration of the world we have made and where we are going. The Future—as the richest people on the planet have discovered—is where the money is. The Future is a few billionaires leading the world to destruction while safeguarding their own survival with secret lavish bunkers. The Future is private weather, technological prophecy and highly deniable weapons. The Future is a handful of friends—the daughter of a cult leader, a non-binary hacker, an ousted Silicon Valley visionary, the concerned wife of a dangerous CEO, and an internet-famous survivalist—hatching a daring plan. It could be the greatest heist ever. Or the cataclysmic end of civilization. The Future is what you see if you don’t look behind you. The Future is the only reason to do anything, the only object of desire. The Future is here.

Marple: Twelve New Stories

Twelve further adventures of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple, penned by twelve masters of crime. Poison disposes of poachers and patriarchs alike, striking on the high seas, at a wedding reception, and an Oxford college dinner. Valuable jewellery vanishes; inheritances are threatened; people disappear or drown or die. Fatal consequences are incurred from brawling amongst pigs, doing a spot of gardening - or simply being a new face in the village. From her little village of St Mary Mead to a Chinese cruise ship, from a run-down Manhattan theatre to an Italian villa, Miss Marple encounters mystery and murder wherever she goes. And this shrewd observer of human nature will untangle the threads of deceit to find the truth...

A brand new collection of short stories featuring the Queen of Crime's legendary detective Jane Marple, penned by twelve remarkable bestselling and acclaimed authors. This collection of twelve original short stories, all featuring Jane Marple, will introduce the character to a whole new generation. Each author reimagines Agatha Christie's Marple through their own unique perspective while staying true to the hallmarks of a traditional mystery. · Naomi Alderman · Leigh Bardugo · Alyssa Cole · Lucy Foley · Elly Griffiths · Natalie Haynes · Jean Kwok · Val McDermid · Karen M. McManus · Dreda Say Mitchell · Kate Mosse · Ruth Ware Miss Marple was first introduced to readers in a story Christie wrote for The Royal Magazine in 1927 and made her first appearance in a full-length novel in 1930's The Murder at the Vicarage. It has been 45 years since Agatha Christie's last Marple novel, Sleeping Murder, was published posthumously in 1976, and this collection of ingenious new stories by twelve Christie devotees will be a timely reminder why Jane Marple remains the most famous fictional female detective of all time.

It begins and ends with a sacrifice . . . It was a time of brutal tyranny and occupation. Young men and women took to the streets to protest. Dictators put them down with iron force. Rumours spread. Rebels attacked the greatest empire the world has ever known. The empire gathered its forces to make those rebels pay. And in the midst of all of that, one preacher by the name of Jesus died. And either something miraculous happened or someone lied. This is the truth according to The Liars' Gospel. 'A very visceral novel, filled with historical detail, clamouring egos, fears, manipulations, the instinct for survival . . . Expect to be sucked in. Superb.' Daily Mail 'Remarkable . . . paints the sweep of history through the sharp pain of human love and loss.' Observer 'Succeeds magnificently, superb, brilliant. A provocative and mesmerizing novel.' New Statesman 'Thoughtful, humane, evocative.' Metro 'Visceral, intelligent, works superbly.' Independent
