In an unspecified setting the narrative traces the fortunes of a group of anarchists in revolt against a military-fascist-capitalist opposition. The central character is a press photographer, Chris, whose camera lens becomes the device through which Marechera cleverly unravels the story’s incidents. Marechera says the book was influenced by the Baader-Meinhof story about German terrorists: ‘I really tried to put terrorism into a historical perspective, neither applauding their acts nor condemning them. The photographer does not take sides, he just takes the press photographs.’

Veronique Tadjo

EAN: 9780143026228
Format: Paperback

Release Date: 1 August 2009
Price: R130

Véronique Tadjo weaves together a rich tapestry of voices to tell stories of parting and return, suffering, healing and desire in a lyrical and moving exploration of the human heart. Like a bird in flight, the reader travels across a borderless landscape composed of tales of everyday existence, news reports, allegories and ancestral myths, becoming aware in the course of the journey of the interconnection of individual lives.
This is one of the most beautiful books I have ever read. It is like poetry. Tadjo’s prose is so ephemeral that it’s difficult to remember that she is writing about heartache and pain.

The narrative is presented as a series of chapters in varying length, with characters who are nameless and faceless, representing everyman and everywoman.

Scarpetta
Patricia Cornwell

EAN: 9780751542127
Format: Paperback

Release Date: 1 July 2009
Price: R110

Leaving behind her forensic pathology practice in South Carolina, Kay Scarpetta takes up an assignment in New York City, where the NYPD has asked her to examine an injured patient in a psychiatric ward.

The handcuffed and chained patient, Oscar Bane, has specifically asked for her, and when she literally has her gloved hands on him, he begins to talk – and the story he has to tell turns out to be one of the most bizarre she has ever heard.

He says his injuries were sustained in the course of a murder … that he did not commit. Is Bane a criminally insane stalker who has fixed on Scarpetta? Or is his paranoid tale true, and it is he who is being spied on, followed and stalked by the actual killer? The only thing Scarpetta knows for certain is that a woman has been tortured and murdered – and that more violent deaths will follow…

Bread, cash, dosh, dough, loot. Call it what you like, it matters now more than ever.
