“Tonight, with summer past and autumn on the com “Tonight, with summer past and autumn on the come, he lies awake, troubled. Not by the gun in the golf bag. He’s thinking about the job he’s agreed to do with the gun. As a rule he never goes further than the two basics: taking the shot and getting out of dodge. This time it’s different, and not just because it’s the last time he plans to take a life for pay. It’s different because it has a smell...” 🎯 From legendary storyteller and No.1 bestseller Stephen King comes a gripping novel about a good man in a bad job. 🎯 Billy Summers is a killer for hire. He’s among the best snipers in the world, a decorated Iraq war vet who can blend into any background, and vanish like Houdini after the shot is taken - but he will only agree to the contract if the target is a truly bad guy. And now Billy wants out. But first he’s offered one final job - an offer which is just too big to refuse. Billy is set up in the town of Red Bluff, with an office overlooking the courtroom steps, from where he will make the hit. His cover story is that he’s writing a book. So he begins to write. First about his childhood, then his days in the army. Fallujah. And soon he finds he has a growing thirst for the extraordinary power of storytelling. But the days still count down to the hit, and Billy becomes convinced that something about the job is wrong. He does not yet know just how wrong, or about the woman who will help him try to set things right. 🎯 Part war story, part love letter to small town America and the people who live there, this spectacular novel features one of the most compelling and surprising duos in King fiction, who set out to avenge the crimes of an extraordinarily evil man. Billy Summers is about love, luck, fate and one last unforgettable shot at redemption.

A girl walks through the slums of Kolkata holding A girl walks through the slums of Kolkata holding an armful of books. She returns home smelling of smoke and checks her most prized possession; a brand-new smartphone, purchased in instalments. On Facebook, there is only one conversation - Kolabagan Terrorist Attack. On the small, glowing screen, she types a dangerous thing... “If the police didn’t help ordinary people like you and me, if the police watched them die, doesn’t that mean that the government is also a terrorist?” 🔥 Set in contemporary India, A Burning is the story of three unforgettable characters, all dreaming of a better future, whose lives are changed forever when they become caught up in the devastating aftermath of a terrorist attack. 🔥 Jivan - a young, idealistic Muslim woman who dreams of a better life - faces a passionless death sentence after being accused of collaborating with the terrorist. 🔥 Lovely - a glorious outcast who longs to be a Bollywood star - holds the alibi that can set Jivan free, but telling the truth will cost her everything she holds dear. 🔥 Pt Sir - an opportunistic gym teacher who once taught Jivan - becomes involved with Hindu nationalist politics and his own ascent is soon inextricably linked to Jivan’s fall. 🔥 Taut, propulsive and electrifying, from its opening lines to its astonishing finale, A Burning confronts issues of class, fate, prejudice and corruption with a Dickensian sense of injustice, and asks us to consider what it means to nurture big ambitions in a country hurtling towards political extremism. 🔥 A Burning is a novel for our times and for all time.
Since childhood, the natural world had been a sour Since childhood, the natural world had been a source of joy and a refuge for Richard Mabey - if not buried in a hedge or climbing trees, he wandered the countryside around Berkhamsted in the Chilterns, often to escape the controlling ways of his alcoholic father. But towards the end of the 1990s, at the very height of his career as a naturalist and author, the touchstones of his life - a love for nature and the land - became meaningless and no longer offered him solace. He was a pit of deep, all-consuming depression. Unable to rise from bed, unable to write, the fascination and passion that nature had inspired in him all of his boyhood and adult life had vanished. 🍃🍂 Over time, with the help of good friends and a move from the Chiltern Hills to East Anglia, he started to recover an intimacy with the natural world that he feared he had lost forever. He also began writing again, encouraged by his new partner, Polly, to keep a diary of his daily observations and journeys into the Norfolk flatlands. It was from these jottings that Nature Cure emerged, a masterpiece, exquisitely crafted and full of nuance, energy and hope. 🍃🍂 Originally published in 2005, it is now regarded as a literary classic, pioneering the entwining of an author’s life with the natural world. With a new foreword by the author, this special edition of Nature Cure is part of a hardback library published by Little Toller to celebrate the originality and enduring relevance of Richard Mabey’s writing.
