When a brutally murdered man is found hanging in a derelict London theatre, Detective Sergeant Rex King becomes obsessed with the case. The corpse is anonymous, ritually mutilated, and seemingly unconnected to the world beyond the sealed auditorium. As Rex digs deeper into the crime scene, the investigation begins to unravel, refusing the logic of a conventional murder inquiry.Clues fracture into symbols, witnesses contradict themselves, and the case starts to mirror Rexs own buried past. The search for the victims identity becomes inseparable from a more troubling question: who, beneath the certainty of his badge and rank, is Rex King himself?Shifting between Holborn Police Station, an abandoned village in rural 1980s France, and the violent clash between state power and counterculture at Stonehenges Battle of the Beanfield, The Fountain in the Forest reimagines the crime novel as something stranger and more daring. At once a gripping police procedural, an avant-garde experiment in language, and a philosophical meditation on liberty and identity, it is an iconoclastic novel of rare ambition.

Sticking scrupulously to the facts, Paul Halter explores the Jack the Ripper murders and offers his own theories about the identity of the monster, what drove him, and how he was able to vanish under the noses of the police during the spree of escalating horror which sent the citizens of fog-ridden London into paroxysms of fear in the autumn of 1888.But the year before Saucy Jacky began his reign of terror, someone started to investigate an astonishing impossible murder committed in the country village of Blackfield nine years earlier. That, too, involved a monstrous murderer who slaughtered witnesses and vanished under the noses of his pursuers. Is there a connection with the Ripper cases which followed?Paul Halter, who has been fascinated by Jack the Ripper from a tender age, won the coveted French Prix du Roman dAventures in 1988 and the prestigious Japanese Hunkaku Mystery Award 2005 for Le Brouillard Rouge (The Crimson Fog).

THE BOY is a novel of wasted talent, loss, greed and revenge but also of discovered genius and joyous friendship.By turns terrifying, taut, humane and tender it tells the origin story of Irelands organised-crime epidemic with a skill and grace which belies a debut novel, and is the calling-card of a ringing new voice in Irish fiction.When the Guards knock on the door the Boy already knows his mother is dead. His father flees to the pub, leaving him to wait alone. Soon his brother Fallon, half-protector and half-outlaw, draws him into a world where grief and crime are rarely separated. At the same time, a wealthy landowner harbours grotesque secrets in the countryside - a hidden "family" of abducted boys, a nightmare lurking beneath respectability.As the Boy moves through these fractured worlds - his fathers guilt, his uncles paramilitary past, his brothers violent death - he becomes both witness and inheritor of a brutal legacy.Think of a space where the layered complexity of Tana French meets the whip-smart dialogue and brutal beauty of Colin Barrett and the sharp tenderness and humour of Graeme Armstrongs The Young Team and youre somewhere near where this novel will take you.

But as the team begin sorting through piles of junk, they stumble upon Flaynes journals in which he details his obsession with his missing mother, his discovery of a strange place called Bewise, and - most mysteriously - his belief in another realm lying parallel to ours, along with coded instructions on how it might be reached.As the students continue to sort through the detritus, one of Alexs companions becomes increasingly obsessed with the hidden secrets of Solace House, Flaynes missing mother, and the possibility that, if only they can decipher Flaynes increasingly unintelligible writings, they might gain knowledge beyond their wildest dreams.
