Books of the Month August 2015

25th July 2015 by Anne James

Personal

by Lee Child

A NEW JACK REACHER thriller sees our hard-man hero out of the US military police and as his own boss going where the mood takes him. But the army tracks him down because someone has taken a long-range shot at the French President. Only one man could have done it. And Reacher is the one man who can find him.

This new heart-stopping, nail-biting book in Lee Child’s addictive series takes Reacher across the Atlantic to Paris – and then to London. He must track down a killer with a treacherous vendetta. The stakes have never been higher. Because this time, it’s personal.

The Sunrise

by Victoria Hislop

IN THE GOLDEN city of Famagusta, Greek and Turkish Cypriots alike enjoy a life of good fortune. Invasion comes without warning, bringing chaos and terror. As 40,000 people flee their homes in panic, Famagusta becomes a ghost town. But not everyone will find it so easy to leave.

Hislop’s gripping novel tells the story of ordinary Greek and Turkish families trying to preserve their humanity in a maelstrom of deception, betrayal and ethnic hatred.

The Corners of the Globe

by Robert Goddard

JAMES ‘MAX’ MAXTED, former Great War flying ace, returns to the trail of murder and treachery he set out on in The Ways of the World. He left Paris after avenging the murder of his father, Sir Henry Maxted, convinced the only man who knows about the mysterious events leading up to Sir Henry’s death is elusive German spymaster, Fritz Lemmer.

To find out more, he turns double agent and is despatched by Lemmer to the Orkney Isles to gain possession of a document secreted aboard one of the German battleships interned in Scapa Flow. But the information the document contains is so explosive that Max is forced to break cover and embark on a desperate and dangerous race south, pursued by enemies determined to recover it at any cost.

The breathless chase will take Max from the far north of Scotland to the south of France. He can trust no-one and the stakes could not be higher. It is life and death for all concerned.
