When an albatross strays too far from its home, or loses its bearings, it becomes an 'accidental', an unmoored wanderer. The protagonists of these eight stories each find the ordinary courses of their lives disrupted by an unexpected event and are pushed into unfamiliar terrain: a girl encounters her uncle in hospital, who was cast out of the family for reasons unknown; a menacing force hovers over a fracturing family on a rural holiday; a couple and their children inhabit a stifling world where it is better to be asleep than awake; a man's desire for a solution to his marital dissatisfaction has unforeseen consequences. Deft and disquieting, oscillating between the real and the fantastical, The Accidentals is the brilliant new book from International Booker-shortlisted duo Guadalupe Nettel and Rosalind Harvey.

'I like eating cold, clammy wraps from big pharmacies that are open late and sell just a few foods like protein bars and powders.' Flower is a book of realistic admissions, likes, dislikes, memories and no-brainer observations, treating personal truth as unavailable - something that must be made up and convincing. Taking cues from confessional literature, his daughter's improvised games, poor internet writing and shitty AI, Ed Atkins, in his first work of non-fiction, equivocates between inanity and divinity, ease and pain, sentimentality and sterility. An anti-memoir, a list, a listless blur - Flower is a highly original, moving and absurd book by one of the most influential artists of his generation, formally inventive and disturbingly of our time.

The first in an action thriller series from the Wilbur Smith Prize-Shortlisted author Alex Shaw. 'Another excellent stripped-back, razor-edge thriller from Alex Shaw' - New York Times bestselling author James Swallow Killing for a living is easy, living for a reason is much harderMeet Ruslan Akulov. In the shadowy world of assassins for hire, he is known as 'Wolf Six'. A Ukrainian raised in Moscow, conscripted into Russia's most covert Special Forces unit 'The Werewolves', Akulov is full of loathing for the country that built and then broke him. The only rules he follows now are his own. Unable to shake the guilt of his past, Akulov has made it his business to seek out those who prey upon the innocent. The name Wolf Six is legendary - whispered by those who know it with fear. But when Akulov accidentally thwarts the armed robbery of a Chicago Bank, he pits himself against both the Russian Bratva and the CIA, setting into motion a spiralling sequence of events which will bring his past back to haunt him, and potentially turn his future to ashes... His mission of retribution takes him from Chicago to Kyiv, to Havana and back into the US, where Akulov must stop at nothing if he is to remain alive. No simple mission, even for the world's deadliest assassin. Perfect for fans of Tom Wood, Vince Flynn and Mark Greaney, this is an explosive action thriller you won't be able to put down.

So when a woman turns up on her doorstep with an attacker on her heels, Monica is quick to step in.

Dive into bestseller Jane Lovering's novel about book-obsessed Andi's search for her very own happy ending. Andi Glover loves nothing more than a good book. Any book in fact because when you're raised by unconventional parents who think school's for squares, alongside a deeply conventional sister who escapes home as soon as she can, fiction is eminently preferable to reality. The only problem is that fiction isn't the best way to learn about the real world. When Andi starts her new live-in job at Templewood Hall for the eccentric Lady Dawe and her enigmatic son Hugo, it's tempting to think she's fallen into the pages of one of her favourite gothic novels. But the plot twists at Templewood Hall are stranger than fiction and it's not long before Andi questions if she's living in a romance novel or a whodunnit. Bumps in the night, a missing heir, ghostly apparitions and secrets that have been kept for generations - the mysteries mount up. Then there's the inscrutable gardener who seems to appear when needed - is Andi right to hope for a happily-ever-after end to her story?Funny, heart-warming and full of twists and turns, this story is perfect for all fans of Cathy Bramley, Katie Fforde and Beth Moran. Readers love Jane Lovering: 'Jane Lovering could write a shopping list and make it laugh out loud funny and heart-breakingly emotional... An enjoyable and captivating read... a gorgeous page-turner infused with warmth, intensity, magic and humour readers will want to recommend to all of their friends and family.' 'This book is just an unputdownable delight, really heartwarming and just the tonic for a dreary January.' 'Jane Lovering is an author who never disappoints. A lovely book with a fantastic setting, which made me feel as though I was looking through a window and part of the story.' 'Wow. Just wow! I have long been a fan of Jane Lovering but this book far surpasses any of my previous favourites.' 'A unique, well-written story that is uplifting, emotional, and humorous-well worth reading.' 'I enjoyed the book very much, principally because of the relationships and the characters who kept up the pace of the narrative. It is an entertaining read with sparky dialogue and plenty of humour.' Praise for Jane Lovering: 'I adored the dual timeline aspect of this gorgeous story and discovering the secrets from the past. Beautifully written and both heartbreaking and heartwarming' Jessica Redland 'A funny, warm-hearted read, filled with characters you'll love.' Matt Dunn on A Country Escape
