City of Bones
Summary
Don’t miss The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, now a major motion picture. Discover this first installment of the internationally best-selling Mortal Instruments series and “prepare to be hooked” (Entertainment Weekly). When 15-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder - much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing - not even a smear of blood - to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy? This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know... Exotic and gritty, exhilarating and utterly gripping, Cassandra Clare's ferociously entertaining fantasy takes readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end.

Anatomy of a Scandal
Summary
An astonishingly incisive and suspenseful novel about a scandal among Britain's privileged elite and the women caught up in its wake. Sophie's husband, James, is a loving father, a handsome man, a charismatic and successful public figure. And yet he stands accused of a terrible crime. Sophie is convinced he is innocent and desperate to protect her precious family from the lies that threaten to rip them apart. Kate is the lawyer hired to prosecute the case: an experienced professional who knows that the law is all about winning the argument. And yet Kate seeks the truth at all times. She is certain James is guilty and is determined he will pay for his crimes. Who is right about James? Sophie or Kate? And is either of them informed by anything more than instinct and personal experience? Despite her privileged upbringing, Sophie is well aware that her beautiful life is not inviolable. She has known it since she and James were first lovers at Oxford, and she witnessed how easily pleasure could tip into tragedy. Most people would prefer not to try to understand what passes between a man and a woman when they are alone: alone in bed, alone in an embrace, alone in an elevator...or alone in the moonlit courtyard of an Oxford college, where a girl once stood before a boy, heart pounding with excitement, then fear. Sophie never understood why her tutorial partner, Holly, left Oxford so abruptly. What would she think if she knew the truth?

Henry VIII and the Men Who Made Him
Summary
Tracy Borman, author of the best-selling biography Thomas Cromwell, takes us behind the scenes of Henry VIII's court and sheds new light on the most notorious Tudor monarch through the fresh perspective of his male relationships. Henry VIII is well known for his tumultuous relationships with women, and he is often defined by his many marriages. But what do we see if we take a different look? When we see Henry through the men in his life, a new perspective on this famous king emerges.... Henry's relationships with the men who surrounded him reveal much about his beliefs, behaviour and character. They show him to be capable of fierce but seldom abiding loyalty, of raising men only to destroy them later. He loved to be attended and entertained by boisterous young men who shared his passion for sport, but at other times he was more diverted by men of intellect, culture and wit. Often trusting and easily led by his male attendants and advisers during the early years of his reign, he matured into a profoundly suspicious and paranoid king whose favour could be suddenly withdrawn, as many of his later servants found to their cost. His cruelty and ruthlessness would become ever more apparent as his reign progressed, but the tenderness that he displayed towards those he trusted proves that he was never the one-dimensional monster that he is often portrayed as. In this fascinating and often surprising new biography, Tracy Borman reveals Henry's personality in all its multifaceted, contradictory glory.

Anywhere for You
Summary
“It’s a pleasure to read such a stylish and confident new voice - readers are going to love discovering Abbie Greaves.” (Louise Candlish, internationally best-selling author of Our House and Those People) From the author of The Silent Treatment, the heart-wrenching story of a woman's decade-long search for answers after the love of her life disappears - a timeless and deeply moving exploration of what it means to love and lose and to hope and carry on. The strap-hangers of Ealing Broadway station are familiar with unusual sights on the London Tube, including the woman with the sign who appears every day to watch the droves of busy commuters. Polite and neatly dressed, Mary O’Connor doesn’t beg for spare change or ask anything from anyone. What sets her apart is the placard she carries bearing a plaintive message: "Come Home Jim". While others pass her by without a thought, Alice, a junior reporter at the Ealing Bugle, wants to know Mary’s story. Many years ago, when Mary met the charming and romantic James Whitnell, she knew that she'd found her other half. Then he disappeared without a trace. Mary is certain that Jim isn’t a cad, that he truly loved her and will return - especially because she's recently received grainy phone calls from him saying he misses her. But Mary hasn’t spent her life pining; she’s joined an organization to help others in crisis. Touched and more than a little suspicious, the curious Alice quietly begins her own investigation into Jim's vanishing act. Moving between Mary's present and past, Anywhere for You captures both the promise and heady thrill of romance and the confusion and pain of heartbreak. In this emotionally poignant and compulsively enjoyable novel, Abbie Greaves explores the enduring power of love and asks if we can ever know someone completely - especially those we care for most.
