Although to all appearances Suzanne and Carl Peters live an idyllic life in pretty St Ives, beneath the veneer of domestic bliss lurks a dark secret which threatens to destroy everything they hold dear. For the last seven years they have lived a lie, lived in fear that the violence of the past will catch up with them, and now it seems that their worst nightmares are coming true.
Suzanne was a damaged child, and she has grown into a damaged woman. For seven years Carl has protected her from her terrors, sheltered her from the world for which she seems so ill-equipped, but when a series of poison pen letters disturb long buried ghosts, Suzanne and Carl's carefully guarded world explodes with shocking consequences.
Engrossing, chilling and utterly compelling, A Deep Deceit is a tour de force of sexual intrigue and obsessive love with a startling sting in its tail.

Praise for Hilary Bonner's previous novels:

Synopsis When a young art student literally loses her head, the press dub the cause of her unhappiness "the Chelsea maniac". The killer's method is as gruesomely bizarre as it is effective, and it seems as though no one in this fashionably bohemian area is safe.

The new bestseller from the world's most popular author.

In his eleventh novel John Grisham will once again confirm his reputation as the master storyteller of his generation. In The Brethren he takes his readers into the depths of Trumble, a minimum security federal prison, home to the usual assortment of criminals - drug dealers, bank robbers, swindlers, embezzlers, tax evaders, two Wall Street crooks, one doctor, at least four lawyers.
And three former judges who call themselves The Brethren: one from Texas, one from California, and one from Mississippi. They meet each day in the law library, their turf at Trumble, where they write briefs, handle cases for other inmates, practice law without a license, and sometimes dispense jailhouse justice. And they spend hours hatching schemes to make money.
Then one of their seams goes awry. It ensnares the wrong victim, an innocent on the outside, a man with dangerous friends, and The Brethren's days of quietly marking time are over.

Praise for Hannibal
"Is this the best novel of the year? ... a masterpiece ... chillingly brilliant ... Hannibal grips like a vice, from its brilliantly reallsed opening to its horrifying and delightfully whimsical conclusion ... (the book) grabs you by the ear, the eye, the throat and drags the reader helplessly around a switchback-cum-maze of narrative ingenuity ... I sat skewered to my seat until the last page ... Every line of Hannibal is suffused with the sense of a titanic struggle with evil in its blackest form ... It contains writing of which our best writers would be proud ... In Hannibal, Harris has sur assed himself. It has wit, erudition, golden dialogue and it does that thing that most novels can't do: it describes almost constant action. I'm prepared to bet that Observer readers won't pick up a more compelling novel this year." Robert McCrum, Observer
"Well if this novel isn't the number one bestseller by this time next week, I'll eat my tongue [it] is quite simply a compelling and brilliant thriller it seems all too real and quite terrifying. Thomas Harris is, a brilliantly clever author… Sentence for sentence there is nobody to match him It is an incredible achievement ... absorbing" Mirror
"The readers who have been waiting for Hannibal only want to know if it is as good as Red Dragon and The Silence of the Lambs ... It is a pleasure to reply in the negative. No, not as good. This one is better. It is, in fact, one of the two most frightening popular novels of our time, the other being The Exorcist ... Hannibal is really not a sequel at all, but rather the third and most satisfying part of one very long and scary ride through the haunted palace of abnormal psychiatry ... I hope with all my heart that [Harris] will write again, and sooner rather than later-novels that bravely and cleverly erase the line between popular fiction and literature are very much to be prized." Stephen King, New York Times Book Review
"No panting fan-waiting these 11 years for the three Thomas Harrises to become four-could have hoped for more. Tense, dark ' allusive and alert to the state of the nation, Hannibal is a great popular novel and a plausible candidate for the Pulitzer Prize. The last two decades of 19th century popular fiction were dominated by Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes. A century on, suspense literature has achieved their equals in Thomas Harris and Hannibal Lecter." Guardian
[Hannibal ] ought to have been a flop-The Silence of the Lambs should have been an impossible act to follow. But the opposite is the case: it is a gut-churning, nail- biting, skin-crawling, often lyrical triumph-addictive on every level ... If there's a better book this year, with truth, fantasy and a touch of erudition combined in prose which really does leap off the page, I'll eat my hat." Francis Fyfield, Express

'In her detective novels, Donna Leon can paralyse the reader with a joyful suspense, lost in the environs of Venice and hopelessly in love with her central character and his wife' Mail on Sunday

When Commissario Guide Brunetti is visited by a young bureaucrat concerned to investigate the lack of official approval for the building of his apartment years before, his first reaction, like any other Venetian, even a cop, is to think of whom he knows who might bring pressure to bear on the relevant local government department. But when the bureaucrat rings him at work clearly scared by some information he plans to give to Brunetti, and is then found dead after a fall from scaffolding, something is clearly going on that has implications rather greater than the fate of Guide's own apartment. Brunetti's investigations take him into unfamiliar areas of Venetian life - drug abuse and loan-sharking - while the deaths of two young drug addicts and the arrest - and subsequent release - of his boss's son on suspicion of drug-dealing reveal, once again, what a difference it makes to have friends in high places.

Oliver Tree had spent his retirement years working out a solution to the Lost Illusion. Now, at last, he was about to give a death-defying performance in a sell-out festival of magicians in Manhattan.
In front of a live audience and the television cameras, four crossbow arrows were fired at their human target. The screams were real, and, tragically for Oliver Tree, so was the blood.
Even if Charles Butler, cousin of the late great Max Candle who had invented the Lost Illusion, was convinced along with eight million viewers that the trick had simply gone wrong, Detective Sgt Kathy Mallory knew instinctively that this was murder. A murder, curiously, that might be linked with the death of a woman half a century ago...
