In The Monkey House , Sarajevo is a city besieged by the atrocities of war. Stadium walls that once shook with the roar of Olympic crowds have since collapsed under the screams of artillery. Police Superintendent Rosso and the ragtag remains of his Sarajevo police force, however, remain dedicated to preserving what is left of the city's civil order. In their Sisyphean quest to uphold the law, one of their key informants is mysteriously murdered in a narcotics-infected Serb apartment complex called the "Monkey House." If the homicide is proven to be the work of Sarajevo's notorious crime boss, Luka, solving the case could break the black marketeer's grip on the city. But bringing Luka to justice could also drastically change the course of this relentless war and quite possibly lead to the fall of Sarajevo. For Rosso, a Croat whose Serbian wife is losing a battle with alcoholism and whose Moslem goddaughter may be having an affair with Luka, this case has become a life mission, not only to defeat a formidable enemy and to save his family and city, but also to redeem his own dark and bloody legacy. In The Monkey House the stakes are high for solving a wartime murder, and a young, cocky American journalist named Branson Flett is there to report it all. The Monkey House navigates a complex web of international politics and propaganda, supplying a ground-level view of the Bosnian conflict through a tale as real and hard as the war itself.

The murder of Cris Schuter, a former government Minister in South Africa during the apartheid regime, threatens to throw up all sorts of secrets for Sebastian Palfrey. Palfrey, a British newspaper correspondent, grew up with Schuter's son Josh. In fact, they have quite a history together...and along with their political activist buddy Zak, there's plenty they'd all prefer to keep under wraps. But Josh has now vanished. Sebastian has no idea where he is. Nor does his girlfriend Frances. The local police are hungry for answers. All that Sebastian knows for certain is that Josh's disappearance looks set to threaten his own carefully maintained web of deceit.

The blueprint for an inspiring regenerative economy that avoids collapse and works for people and the planet. 
 Humanity is in a race with catastrophe. Is the future one of global warming, 65 million migrants fleeing failed states, soaring inequality, and grid-locked politics? Or one of empowered entrepreneurs and innovators working towards social change, leveling the playing field, and building a world that works for everyone? While the specter of collapse looms large, A Finer Future demonstrates that humanity has a chance - just - to thread the needle of sustainability and build a regenerative economy through a powerful combination of enlightened entrepreneurialism, regenerative economy, technology, and innovative policy. 
 The authors - world leaders in business, economics, and sustainability - gather the environmental economics evidence, outline the principles of a regenerative economy, and detail a policy roadmap to achieving it, including: 
<ul>
<li> Transforming finance and corporations </li>
<li> Reimagining energy, agriculture, ecosystems, and the nature of how we work </li>
<li> Enhancing human well-being </li>
<li> Delivering a world that respects ecosystems and human community. </li>
</ul>
 Charting the course to a regenerative economy is the most important work facing humanity and A Finer Future provides the essential blueprint for business leaders, entrepreneurs, environmentalists, politicians, policymakers, and others working to create a world that works for people and the planet.

'The first in a cracking new series featuring DI Kramer by accomplished author John Fullerton.'&nbsp; A female politician is shot dead in the capital. A talented detective, Kramer, is charged with leading the investigation; trouble is, he's both much more and a great deal less than mere cop. His brilliance is at least in part due to a permanently skewed moral compass.&nbsp; This is less whodunnit than whydunnit and a will-he-get-away-with it crime novel set in an England several years in the future - a world of labour camps, capital punishment, mass deportations and imprisonment without trial.

And when the world's most wanted man disappears, Morgan's talents as a bounty hunter command a much higher premium...Washington offers USD25 million for its arch foe -- dead or alive. But only one man knows how to find him, and only Morgan has the expertise and grit to get close enough to kill him. Trouble is, the two men are enemies...
