PRE-ORDER CARVED IN BLOOD , THE BRAND NEW MICHAEL BENNETT NOVEL, COMING SPRING 2025. FROM THE AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF BETTER THE BLOOD COMES ANOTHER CASE FOR NEW ZEALAND'S BEST INVESTIGATOR, HANA WESTERMAN. ‘Another cracking, page-turning journey into another culture’ VAL McDERMID Two murders. Two decades apart. One chance to get justice. Hana Westerman has left Auckland and her career as a detective behind her. Settled in a quiet coastal town, all she wants is a fresh start. The discovery of a skeleton in the dunes near her house changes everything. The remains are those of a young Māori woman who went missing four years before, and Hana has a connection to the case. Twenty years ago, a schoolfriend of hers was found buried in the exact same spot. Her killer died in prison, but did the police get the wrong man? And if he was innocent, then why did he plead guilty? No longer part of the Criminal Investigation Branch, Hana turns to her ex-husband Jaye, a high-flying Detective Inspector, for help. But when he cuts her out of the investigation, she realises that she will have to find the answers she needs on her own. But in digging deeper, she sets herself on a potentially fatal collision course with a killer. PRAISE FOR RETURN TO BLOOD : ‘The vivid picture of ethnic cultural life alone marks out the book as special, but it’s Bennett’s control of a tense narrative that is key’ Financial Times ‘Evocative’ Crime Monthly ‘A confident, convincing work in a crowded genre’ NZ Listener ‘A powerful novel that stays in the mind long after it is finished’ Jeff Popple ‘His deep understanding of marginalised communities, family tensions and the travails of our justice system enrich the novel . . . Return to Blood shows a writer in full command of his material and which reaches deeper into our shared human experience. It also has a surprise ending few readers will be able to predict’ Greg Fleming ‘Even better (if possible!) than his searing debut – Michael Bennett’s latest, Return to Blood , had me moved to tears of empathy and rage within the first fifty pages. Richly evocative New Zealand detail, a take-no-prisoners female Maori detective and a riveting crime make for a sizzling and culturally important page-turner’ Alexandra Sokoloff

Flesh and Blood - Stephen Mcgann - Bog - Simon & Schuster Ltd - Plusbog.dk

‘Powerful and affecting’ Mail on Sunday ‘ Flesh and Blood is living drama extracted like buried treasure from old documents and the hand-me-down stories of his relatives. I couldn't put it down’Jenny Agutter 'Intelligently structured and eloquently written, McGann’s book is a powerful homage to his family and Irish ancestry, to modern medicine and the welfare state. Packed with lively anecdotes and insights on social history, Flesh and Blood is a humble human story with a majestic theme' Times Literary Supplement. 'Drama and reality repeatedly intersect in unexpected ways in this powerful and revealing memoir' Mail on Sunday 'Eloquent in its metaphors, this book is about memory, how it shapes us, and what we choose to pass on' Irish Times 'With its mix of readable science and passionate sensibility, Flesh and Blood is essentially an attempt to heal the old rift between science and art' Radio Times His family survived famine-ravaged Ireland in the 1850s. His ancestors settled in poverty-rife Victorian Liverpool, working to survive and thrive. Some of them became soldiers serving on the Western Front. One would be the last man to step off the SS Titanic as it sank beneath the icy waves. He would testify at the inquest. This is their story. Stephen McGann is Doctor Turner in the BBC hit-drama series Call the Midwife . Flesh and Blood is the story of the McGann family as told through seven sicknesses – diseases, wounds or ailments that have afflicted Stephen’s relatives over the last century and a half, and which have helped mould him into what he now perceives himself to be. It’s the story of how health, or the lack of it, fuels our collective will and informs our personal narrative. Health is the motivational antagonist in the drama of our life story - circumscribing the extent of our actions, the quality of our character and the breadth of our ambition. Our maladies are the scribes that write the restless and mutating genome of our self-identity. Flesh and Blood combines McGann’s passion for genealogy with an academic interest in the social dimensions of medicine – and fuses these with a lifelong exploration of drama as a way to understand what motivates human beings to do the things they do. He looks back at scenes from his own life that were moulded by medical malady, and traces the crooked roots of each affliction through the lives of his ancestors, whose grim maladies punctuate the public documents or military records of his family tree. In this way he asks a simple, searching question: how have these maladies helped to shape the story of the person he is today?

Taylor ‘A nerve-jangling thriller that is also a hugely touching meditation on a mother’s love’ Christopher Brookmyre ‘Every year, I read one of two books that are truly special . . . Blood Like Mine deserves to sell skip-loads. No, JCB digger-loads. HBV lorry-loads!’ Fiona Cummins ‘At its core, Blood Like Mine is the story of a mother's unconditional love for her daughter, and that gives everything that happens – the growing horror, the murders, the frantic desperation – an almost unbearable emotional punch. I've not read anything quite like this before, and once it sank its teeth in, I was utterly gripped’ Tim Lebbon

THE GRIPPING NEW THRILLER FROM THE AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF BETTER THE BLOOD AND RETURN TO BLOOD . In the depths of the bleak New Zealand winter comes the rising of Matariki – a sacred constellation in Māori culture, heralding a time of new beginnings. For former Detective Senior Sergeant Hana Westerman, life is good: her work in her hometown of Tātā Bay is going well, the community is thriving, and her daughter Addison is getting engaged. But this Matariki brings unwelcome change. When Hana’s ex-husband Jaye walks into an Auckland liquor store and directly across the path of a gunman, their family’s hard-won peace is shattered. With the stakes at their highest, Hana finds herself picking up a path she thought she’d never return to. Desperate for answers, she rejoins the police to help scour the city for the unidentified shooter. But as the investigation progresses, she finds herself unprepared for the darkness of the world she is entering. A darkness much closer to home than she knows. PRAISE FOR MICHAEL BENNETT: 'Stunning . . . Hana Westerman, the Māori detective at the centre of the story, instantly becomes one of the great characters in crime fiction on any continent' David Heska Wanbli Weiden 'As page-turning as it is eye-opening. An excitingly fresh perspective upon a world you thought you knew' Ambrose Parry 'Bennett opens a unique window onto a fascinating Antipodean society as only world-class crime fiction can' Deon Meyer 'A significant addition to Indigenous literature' Kirkus Reviews 'Bennett is a writer to watch' Publishers Weekly

Blood Like Ours - Stuart Neville - Bog - Simon & Schuster Ltd - Plusbog.dk

You would do anything for your family . . . even if they are monsters. Rebecca Carter is back from the dead. Driven by two desperate urges – to find her daughter, and to sate her hunger – she seeks out the only person who can help her: the Nurse. But when she arrives she finds him badly injured, and with warnings of a new danger hot on her tail. Alone in the wild, Monica Carter survives on whatever small prey she can hunt down. But she needs more. One night, lost and terrified, she catches the maddening scent of human blood. A young man calls out to her as Moonflower, and tells her to come with him and his younger brother. They will look after her. Keep her safe. Though Willard and Henderson Davis are not what they seem. They know all about dying and disappearing – after all, it’s been more than three decades since they did the same. As they travel east, Moonflower's hope for a new family soon turns to terror when she finds she is not their guest, but their prisoner – the brothers chose to be what they are, relishing the slaughter, and her death and rebirth fifteen years ago have deep significance for them. But they aren’t alone on the road. FBI agent Sarah McGrath, haunted by the death of her partner, Marc Donner, moments after he killed Rebecca, is beginning to wonder if he was right about the Carters all along. When a fresh trail of bodies emerges she is increasingly convinced of one thing. If following that trail means trouble, then so be it.

The Sacred Blood - Michael Byrnes - Bog - Simon & Schuster Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Secrets, miracles, prophecies, and the threat of Armageddon intertwine in this riveting sequel to the international bestseller The Sacred Bones . . . When American geneticist Charlotte Hennesey examined what she believed were the bones of Jesus, the Vatican tried to stop word of her discovery from spreading. Now her proof has vanished. But the bones were just the beginning. In her tests, Charlotte discovers that the DNA has the ability to repair damaged genes, to heal the sick, to cure incurable diseases. Dying from cancer, the determined scientist uses herself as a human guinea pig to try and save her own life . . . But someone wants those bones – and Charlotte. Rabbi Aaron Cohen, a descendant of the biblical Aaron and the high priests of the long-destroyed Temple in Jerusalem, foresees a time when Jerusalem’s Temple Mount is cleared of the Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa Mosque and replaced with the Third Temple. And for Cohen, that time is now. He has only one problem – he cannot touch the Ark because his bloodline isn’t pure. And that's where Charlotte comes in . . . Cohen’s dangerous plan doesn’t go unnoticed, however. When Israeli archaeologist Amit Mizrachi uncovers a mysterious Egyptian hieroglyph in a hidden and previously undiscovered room, he asks noted Egyptologist Julie LeRoux to interpret it for him. As they begin a quest to unravel the mystery, bullets start to fly, and they know they are onto something huge. As Cohen puts his plan into action, the keepers of the mosques on Temple Mount are outraged. Will this be the act that leads to vast armies meeting on the hills of the town named Megiddo causing a global Armageddon?
