3. In the Room - Andrew Campbell
|
|||
|
Inside Jacinda Ardern's tumultuous years as Prime Minister: power, politics, and personal revelations from one of her closest advisors. Human, fascinating, compelling' - Alastair Campbell, The Rest Is Politics 'Extraordinarily honest' - Matthew Hooton, The Post   'Fresh, engaging' - Toby Manhire, The Spinoff 'Every Prime Minister needs someone who will challenge them – and that was you.' So said Jacinda Ardern to Andrew Campbell on his final day as her Chief Press Secretary.  Now, for the first time, Campbell offers a revealing insider's account of one of New Zealand's most extraordinary political eras. Serving alongside Ardern for almost her entire time in office, he was far more than a spokesperson. Acting as strategist, speechwriter, media manager and a trusted voice in the room, he was present for the moments the public never saw. From managing the global attention when Ardern became only the second elected leader to give birth in office, to navigating the Christchurch mosque shootings, the Whakaari / White Island eruption, the upheaval of the COVID-19 pandemic and two hard-fought election campaigns – Campbell was there as decisions were made in real time, often under intense pressure and with no margin for error. At home and on the world stage, he worked at the intersection of politics, media and leadership, helping shape the responses that would be seen, scrutinised and remembered. Insightful, witty and full of 'pinch me' moments, this is a candid account of the conversations, challenges and choices that shaped Aotearoa during remarkable times, and a rare glimpse of what it is really like working at the centre of power. |

Hero Whakaari helicopter pilot and former NZSAS soldier Mark Law on surviving a series of life-threatening events that would shape his life and career. Lucky You're Tough chronicles the life of helicopter pilot and NZSAS soldier Mark Law, from growing up in the rural wilds of Whangamomona through to surviving a series of life-threatening events that would shape his life and career. After a career as a badged soldier in the NZSAS that led to an intriguing stint with the British SAS and then working as private security in active war zones, Mark returned to New Zealand to start his own helicopter business, Kahu NZ. While on a sunny day off on 9 December 2019, he got the call that Whakaari/White Island was erupting. All those years of service and expertly trained instincts led to a split-second decision: Mark and his Kahu NZ colleagues would fly to the erupting volcano to rescue any survivors they could find.  This daring rescue mission would ensure that Mark and the other pilots were able to comfort the injured, as well as to fly those 12 stranded survivors off the island, after they were left there when authorities announced that no official rescue would be coming. Mark's decision led to himself and his fellow heroic pilots being awarded medals for bravery by the New Zealand government.  Within 12 months of the Governor General presenting his medal, however, his one-man company was hit with a six-figure penalty based on charges brought by WorkSafe related to Kahu's past tours on Whakaari. The decision to lay those charges made a year after the eruption outraged New Zealanders and led more than 140,000 Kiwis to sign an online petition asking the government to drop the charges. They didn't.  From Whangamomona to Whakaari, Lucky You're Tough is a story of service, adventure, humour and resilience, and surviving when the odds are against you. |
11. Tell Me Something True - Michael Robotham
|

|
'Michael Robotham has at last turned his gift for psychologically complex crime novels on his own homeplace, and the result is a riveting, and chilling, look into the dark niches of Australian small-town life' GERALDINE BROOKS The astonishing, emotional epic from Michael Robotham: a mystery, a coming-of-age tale and a love story wrapped into one, set against the simmering tensions of a small Australian town. I look along the road and notice how many people are standing outside their houses or watching from doorways and windows. Staring. Studying. 'Do you think this town will ever forgive me?' I ask. 'Not in a million years.' Small towns are quick to anger and slow to forgive, but Arlo Hackett doesn't expect mercy when he emerges from a twelve-year prison sentence and makes his way back to Yulara, a waypoint on Australia's Great Southern Road. The last time Arlo was home, his brother Luke was charged with a terrible crime and Arlo was found guilty by association. His return to the former goldrush town is like cracking open a time capsule full of hatred and violence, along with memories of the people he loved - the ones he couldn't save. Yulara wants Arlo gone, or worse, but every insult and humiliation pushes him to confront what really happened all those years ago. The truth will shock you, surprise you, and break your heart. 'This novel and its characters will stay with me forever. I ached, cried, and laughed and it felt like I bled right along with them. No one will ever forge a flawless novel, but with Tell Me Something True , Robotham has gotten as close to it as I've ever seen' DAVID BALDACCI 'A profoundly rich and heartbreaking novel about the singular endurance of love in all its forms, even through unthinkable and compounding tragedies. Michael Robotham demonstrates uncommon insight into the suffering and survival of a family devastated by murder and its myriad aftermaths.

Six months ago, Harry Bosch left the LAPD before they could fire him, and then hired his half-brother, the maverick Defence Attorney Mickey Haller to sue the department for forcing him out. Although it wasn't the way he wanted to go, Bosch has to admit that being out of the game has its benefits. Until Mickey asks him to help on one of his cases, and suddenly Harry is back where he belongs, right in the centre of a particularly puzzling murder mystery. The difference is, this time Bosch is working for the defence, aiming to prevent the accused, Da'Quan Foster, from being convicted. And not only does the prosecution seem to have a cast-iron case, but having crossed over to 'the dark side' as his former colleagues would put it, Bosch is in danger of betraying the very principles he's lived by his whole career. With the secret help of his former LAPD partner Lucia Soto, he turns the investigation inside the police department. But as Bosch gets closer to discovering the truth, he makes himself a target. |

The killers are closing in, and it's all he can do to survive.  But who wants to kill him and why? Can he discover their deadly motives and turn the tables?  In a dramatic finale, Martin finds his fate linked to the disgraced ex-wife of a football icon, a fugitive wanted for a decades-old murder, and two nineteenth-century explorers from a legendary expedition.  Martin Scarsden's most perilous, challenging and intriguing assignment yet.

Hammer has raised the bar for Australian crime, and this is a must-read.'

Weekend Australian 'The best Australian crime novel since Peter Temple's The Broken Shore .'

|
|||
|
***NOW A MAJOR NETFLIX SERIES*** __________________ A gripping true-crime story of a shocking miscarriage of justice, from international bestselling thriller author John Grisham, author of A Time to Kill , The Firm and The Whistler . In the baseball draft of 1971, Ron Williamson was the first player chosen from Oklahoma. Signing with Oakland, he said goodbye to his small home town and left for California to pursue his dreams of glory. Six years later he was back, his dreams broken by a bad arm and bad habits - drinking, drugs and women. He began to show signs of mental illness. Unable to keep a job, he moved in with his mother and slept 20 hours a day on her sofa. In 1982, a 21 year-old cocktail waitress, Debra Sue Carter, was raped and murdered, and for five years the crime went unsolved. Finally, desperate for someone to blame, police came to suspect Ron Williamson and his friend Dennis Fritz. The two were finally arrested in 1987 and charged with murder. With no physical evidence, the prosecution's case was built on junk science and the testimony of jailhouse snitches and convicts. Dennis Fritz was found guilty and given a life sentence. Ron Williamson was sent to Death Row. But as Grisham methodically lays out, there was no case against him. Ron Williamson was wrongly condemned to die. If you believe that in America you are innocent until proven guilty, this book will shock you. If you believe in the death penalty, this book will disturb you. If you believe the criminal justice system is fair, this book will infuriate you. __________________ In 2018, The Innocent Man was adapted by Netflix into a gripping six-part true crime series. __________________ 'A master at the art of deft characterisation and the skilful delivery of hair-raising crescendos' - Irish Independent 'John Grisham is the master of legal fiction' - Jodi Picoult 'The best thriller writer alive!!' - Ken Follett ' John Grisham has perfected the art of cooking up convincing, fast-paced thrillers' - Telegraph 'Grisham is a superb, instinctive storyteller' - The Times 'Grisham's storytelling genius reminds us that when it comes to legal drama, the master is in a league of his own...' - Daily Record 'Masterful - when Grisham gets in the courtroom he lets rip, drawing scenes so real they are not just alive, they are pulsating' - Mirror 'A giant of the thriller genre' - TimeOut |

78. Shopping for a Highlander's Elopement - Julia Kent
|

|
I didn’t expect to fall for a Scottish footballer so annoyingly sunny you need shades to be around him. I didn’t expect to say yes to his heart-felt, if loopy, proposal while he lay injured on the pitch, blathering on about banana pudding and sparkly unicorns. What I definitely didn’t expect? For our engagement to explode into a paparazzi circus, our mothers to turn into wedding bulldozers, and for our wedding protector's perfectly reasonable elopement plan to spiral into a road trip escape. So here we are. In Love You, Maine, a town that celebrates Valentine’s Day every single day. We’re here to get married. Quietly. No drama. In disguise. Although good luck hiding a 6’4” ginger Scottish striker wearing a knee brace and a perpetual extrovert smile. Instead of being subtle and blending in? Our quiet escape is vibrating heart-shaped beds, mirrors on the ceilings, secret identities, interfering mothers, and one suspiciously enthusiastic moose that humps dumpsters. This was supposed to be a simple wedding. Just me and Hamish. No fuss. But nothing about us has ever been simple. Still, this is what love is, right? It’s chaos. It’s compromise. It’s crying in a wedding planner’s office, then kissing in a hot spring. It’s choosing each other again and again, even when everything goes sideways. No matter what comes next... this is our comeback story, in more ways than one. And no - that’s not a euphemism. :) Shopping for a Highlander’s Elopement is a romantic comedy that blends the worlds of four bestselling series by New York Times bestselling author Julia Kent: - Shopping for a Billionaire  - Shopping for a Highlander  - Whatever It Takes  - Love You, Maine If you love sports romance, surprise proposals, grand gestures, chaotic weddings, Scottish footballers, golden retriever/black cat energy, and characters who love too hard, mess up spectacularly, and always find their way back to each other with plenty of laugh out loud moments (and lovingly-used scrunchies) along the way, then this is your book. — Author bio: New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Julia Kent writes romantic comedy with an edge, with more than 2.5 million eBook, print, and audiobooks sold and 5 appearances on the New York Times bestseller list. Her books have been translated into German, Italian, and French. From billionaires to BBWs to new adult rock stars, Julia finds a sensual, goofy joy in every contemporary romance she writes. Unlike Shannon from Shopping for a Billionaire, she did not meet her husband after dropping her phone in a men's room toilet (and he isn't a billionaire). She lives in New England with her husband, three children, and an adorable Havanese named Walter.  She loves to hear from her readers by email at jkentauthor@gmail.com, on Twitter @jkentauthor, on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/jkentauthor .

The series begins with GHOST UNIT (Book #1). When the FBI creates an elite team to investigate murder mysteries in military hotspots, there is only one man for the job: retiring Marine sniper Cyrus Drake. Partnered with brilliant FBI Agent Phoebe Colt, Drake must complement her investigative genius with his tactical skills—and together, they will solve mysteries and hunt down killers in the world’s most dangerous and action-packed places. In GHOST CHAIN (Book #4), when a retired Marine intelligence officer is found dead in a Moroccan hotel room, the cause of death looks natural — but Phoebe Colt knows better. The trail leads into the lawless corridor between Mali and Libya, where a deadly arms broker has been flooding jihadist factions with stolen weapons, and the clock is ticking to find a hidden cache before it vanishes into a dozen different warzones. The Cyrus Drake combines the best of a murder mystery series with the best of a military action thriller, delivering relentless action and sharp tension from the first shot fired to the final, stunning reveal. It is a series that won’t allow you to catch your breath until the last page. Perfect for fans of Brad Thor, Lee Child, and James Patterson.
