impending doom.

Bad Seed
by Alan Carter
Fremantle 2015
200 pages – 23 x 15 cm
When a prosperous Chinese-Australian family is found horribly murdered, Acting
Detective Sergeant Cato Kwong must face his past relationship with the Tan family in a
way that makes his role doubly painful.
There is a suspect, and he is very close to home, but somehow the obvious questions fail
to lead to obvious answers in this investigation, despite the pressure from DI Sandra
Pavlou to find a neat conclusion. Hutchens, in the hot-seat of a child abuse inquiry,
appears unable to maintain sufficient focus, and Cato’s unease grows as the investigation
unfolds.
Soon Cato is on his way to Shanghai as a lead takes investigating team to China. Cato has
much to discover about himself in the country of his ancestors. And he and his team
have a whole lot to learn about guanxi – the intricate connections and obligations that
underpin the social, business and criminal structure of China, where cyber dragons are
dangerously real and being found guilty under law can be lethal.
It begins to seem as if the murder of the Tans might be connected to the Chinese acquisition of
Australian land – and to those who resent the invasion of the ‘Yellow Peril’. Meanwhile a
stressed-out DI Hutchens, faces trouble outside the inquiry as well. One of the victims,
David Mundine – the abused boy whose allegations Hutchens dismissed all those years
ago – has a bone to pick with him. It’s not a great recipe for a man with an increasing
reliance on angina spray. And the unstoppable Lara Sumich – with her hazy moral code
when it comes to criminal investigation – has fallen pregnant; she is facing a job crisis of
a kind she would never have dreamed.
Alan Carter was born in Sunderland, UK. He immigrated to
Australia in 1991 and lives in Fremantle with his wife Kath and son
Liam. He works as a television documentary director. In his spare
time he follows a black line up and down the Fremantle pool. He is
the author of two previous Cato Kwong novels, Prime Cut and
Getting Warmer, and is hard at work on the fourth, Heaven Sent.

Lizzy and I stood looking at the sky through the open dome while Taylor pushed on the doors at the front of
the centre. None of them opened. The sky was crisp and blue. It was daytime and the centre was closed. Lizzy
left me and wandered over to the Coffee Club island. She opened a gate in the counter and walked inside. Taylor
turned from the doors and watched as Lizzy took some milk from a fridge and studied the shiny espresso
machine running along the counter. I trailed over and sat on a stool. A moment later Taylor joined me. Lizzy
pressed some buttons on the machine.
Steam shot out over the floor.‘Do you really want to do that?’ asked Taylor.
‘What?’ asked Lizzy.
‘Screw around with their stuff,’ said Taylor.'
Lizzy brushed this off. ‘We’re stuck in here, Taylor. What else are we going to do? '

Bad Boy Boogie
The adventures of Bon Scott
A novel by J.P. QUINTON
THE AUTHOR
James Quinton has devoted several years of research into a favourite subject – Bon
Scott, first lead singer of the internationally acclaimed AC/DC – Quinton is a
published poet; Bad Boy Boogie is his first work of fiction.
THE BOOK
A re-imagining of the life of the iconic rock singer, front man for AC/DC, one of the
most successful bands of all time, from his teenage years in Fremantle to
international stardom and his early death in 1980. Bon Scott was a well-known
Australian entertainer when he joined AC/DC in late 1974 and recorded seven albums
with them before he died, touring Australia, UK, Europe and North America. Scott
built his own huge international following and was rated the greatest front-man of all
time (higher than Robert Plant and Freddie Mercury) by Classic Rock magazine in
their 2004 survey. There have been many books written about AC/DC, but Bad Boy
Boogie is the first to focus specifically on Scott’s life. The author interviewed key
people in Scott’s life to develop an authentic and engaging story.
THE READERSHIP
Scott has become a cult figure internationally, with tribute bands playing in Spain,
Germany, Switzerland and Italy, and a strong following in other European countries,
Scandinavia and the US. His songs have been covered by superstars of the music
world, including Norah Jones, Celine Dion and Mark Kozelek.
Bon festivals are held annually in Europe, the US and Australia, marking his
birthday and the anniversary of his death. The annual bonfest in Kerriemuir,
Scotland (Scott’s birthplace) attracts visitors from around the world.
Scott’s facebook page shows more than 115000 ‘likes’ and his memorial in
Fremantle is said to be the most visited celebrity memorial in Australia. AC/DC will
tour the world again during 2015.

Double Madness
by Caroline Da Costa
87,000 words
Introducing Detective Senior Sergeant Cass Diamond …
As local residents and authorities in Far North Queensland assess the damage wreaked
by Cyclone Yasi, a woman’s body is found in bizarre circumstances, deep in the
rainforest. Diamond is assigned to investigate the murder of expat French woman and
fashionista Odile Janvier and it’s not long before she uncovers a disturbing connection
between the victim and the local medical profession. Double Madness takes us into the
sordid underbelly of psycho-sexual depravity and blackmail.
Author Caroline de Costa is Professor at the School of Medicine at James Cook
University in Cairns, Queensland. She has published a number of health books for
women. Double Madness is her first crime fiction title in a planned series of three, each
featuring DSS Diamond and each set in the exotic location of Far North Queensland.
The second, Blood Sisters, is complete, and de Costa is currently writing the third.
Double
Madness
will
be
published
in
Australia
in
August.
World rights excluding Australia and New Zealand are available. Advance reading copies
now available.
Review from Bookseller + Publisher May 2015
(four stars from five)
Three weeks after Cyclone Yasi swept through Far North Queensland, a woman is found tied to a tree
in the Kuranda rainforest, her limbs bound by silk Hermes scarves, her body battered by the storm.
The disappearance of a woman like this, clad in red-soled Louboutin shoes and the finest French
clothes, would surely be noticed, but detective Cass Diamond can’t find anyone who matches the
description. However, Cass soon finds a lead that connects the woman to Cairns’ close-knit medical
community and the secrets threaten their antiquated loyalties. This is a strong crime-fiction debut from
writer and doctor Caroline de Costa, set in a lush tropical environment full of rainforests, snakes and
sunburst skies. Cass is a revelation: tough yet charming, she is as capable of chasing down an offender
(which she does) as she is at endearing herself to the reader (which she will). One of the pleasures of
this novel is that de Costa is unafraid to spend time with the characters and the landscape, and Double
Madness benefits from this soaking in. While never brutal or bloodthirsty, it nonetheless feels heavy with
danger.

Big Park
by Claudia Guadalupe Martinez
Cinco Puntos Press 2015
248 pages -5 x 5 in.
It's crazy! Fifteen-year-old Masi Burciaga's neighborhood is becoming more and more of
a ghost town since the lard company moved away. Her school closed down. Her family's
bakery and the other surviving businesses may soon follow. As a last resort, the
neighborhood grown-ups enlist all the remaining able-bodied boys and girls to haul
bricks to help build a giant pyramid in the park in hopes of luring visitors. Maybe their
neighbors will come back too. But something's not right about the entrepreneur behind
it all. Then there's the new boy who came to help, the one with the softest of lips.
Claudia Guadalupe Martinez grew up in El Paso, Texas. She
learned that letters form words from reading the subtitles of old
westerns for her father who always misplaced his glasses. At age
six, she already knew she wanted to create stories. Her father
encouraged her to dream big and write a book or two one day.
Although he passed away when Claudia was eleven, her mother,
family and many others continued to encourage her writing
Claudia talks about racial identity and the real-life Chicago neighborhood that inspired
the setting for Pig Park in her essay for Latin@s in Kid Lit:
I wrote Pig Park recognizing that the world my children will be a part of isn’t exactly one thing, and
that this is the type of world many kids are increasingly growing up in.
Mexicans have formed communities in Chicago since the 1850’s. And, while a 2012 Census study from
the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research named Chicago the most segregated city in America,
Chicagoland’s Mexican population is massive enough at 1.4 million that some neighborhood overflow
is to be expected. This is how diversity develops naturally. Scholar José Vasconcelos talked about
Mexicans as “the cosmic race;” behind it was the idea that we actually have a little bit of everything in
us, that we like to mix it up, eventually transcending racial and ethnic categories. Life happened, as it is
wont to do. I eventually got married, moved into a house in a new neighborhood, and became a mom.
My husband is of the sort who wouldn’t be caught dead putting ketchup on a hot dog and gladly plays
tour guide to visiting family and friends, introducing them to the many surprises of our city. He is a
Chicagoan through and through. He is also of Guatemalan and Salvadoran descent. As such, I don’t
know if my two-year daughter and my son (who will be born this October) will consider themselves
Mexican or not. After all, identity is a fluid thing, partially assumed and partially assigned. My husband
and I hope they consider themselves whatever they want, and are never made to feel that they can’t. My
new Chicago landlady occasionally referred to my neighborhood as Mexican, but my neighbors
included Mexicans, African Americans, Filipinos, Puerto Ricans, and miscellaneous white folks.
Everyone just mixed it up.

viene aggredita in un parco, i sospetti ricadono immediatamente sugli stranieri. Per

Ohayon, che deve fare i conti con i segreti e le omertà del paese. Seguono eventi
inspiegabili, poco lontano dal luogo dell'aggressione una ragazza è investita da un auto
che poi si dilegua. Ma perché la giovane si trovava in quel luogo isolato nel pieno della
notte? Stava fuggendo da qualcuno o da qualcosa?
Di tanto in tanto Wittekindt permette al lettore di sbirciare dietro alla spalle

Lenina Rabe è tornata: i cuochi cinesi di Amburgo si uniscono per formare un sindacato.
Ma non hanno fatto i conti con la resistenza della mafia dei ristoranti ...
Feng Yun-Fat, proprietario del ristorante cinese "Hong Kong Dragon" di AmburgoAltona, ha incaricato l'agenzia investigativa Rabe & Adler di ritrovare il suo chef, Wang
Shuo, scomparso senza lasciare traccia. Yun-Fat voleva metterlo a capo di un nuovo
gourmet-restaurant a quattro stelle.
Lenina e la sua socia Nadine Adler si impegnano con entusiasmo nell'indagine, ma ben
presto incontrano un'inspiegabile opposizione e omertà da parte dei cuochi cinesi.
Scoprono così che esiste un regime speciale per gli chef delle specialità asiatiche, che
facilita la concessione di un permesso di lavoro, ma dipende dal proprietario del
ristorante che assicura il suo ingresso. Così nel variopinto universo delle cucine cinesi
prevalgono condizioni di schiavitù.
Anche Yun-Fat risulta molto meno generoso di quanto sembrava. Si scopre che Wang
Shuo aveva cercato di creare un movimento di resistenza dei cuochi cinesi. Questo non
era piaciuto non solo ai proprietari del ristorante, ma anche alla Eight Treasures Inc., un
grande e potente organizzazione di import-export alimentare.

La storia affascinante e ironica di un amore maturo
che significa non solo passione ma anche sofferenza
Accanto alla stazione di una cittadina di provincia, la Pizzeria Da Mario sopravvive
servendo il pranzo agli studenti pendolari e grazie al fatto che alla sera, dopo le otto, è
l'unico locale pubblico che rimane aperto. Qui entra un giorno il signor Korn. È un
antiquario e abita in una casa elegante fuori città. Dopo quella prima volta le sue visite si
fanno frequenti e tra lui e il pizzaiolo italiano si crea una certa familiarità.
E poi appare Sylvia Wolken, trascinando due valige con le rotelle, e lei e il signor Korn si
mettono a discorrere... Tra i due si accende qualcosa, tra allusione e mistero, tra
attrazione e riserbo. I treni arrivano e partono, e i due ospiti sono sempre più presi da un
sentimento eccitante di un interludio tra un arrivo e una partenza.

curiosità di Alex e lo induce a seguire una pista precisa, quella del servizio militare del
padre nella città algerina di Tebessa nel 1959. Laggiù scopre una cultura affascinante,
paesaggi imponenti e Kahina, l'autrice della famosa lettera, ma anche gli orrori di una
guerra che ha trasformato gli eroi in carnefici.

10 agosto 1792. Alle Tuileries, un manipolo di fedeli si raduna intorno al re e alla sua
famiglia. I giacobini si apprestano a infliggere il colpo decisivo. La Francia è in
rivoluzione, cioè in pieno caos. Per Louis de Torbeil e per il suo giovane cognato Jean de
Pierrebelle è una giornata di lacrime e sangue.
Ma nella città industriosa di Lione monta la collera contro Parigi. Da ogni parte del paese
tutto in popolo si ribella, Ben presto l'esercito rivoluzionario cinge d'assedio la città.
Antoine de Meaux ci offre un primo romanzo a tinte forti e un affresco di un mondo
prossimo al crollo. I conflitti sanguinosi della guerra civile si intrecciano agli amori
nascenti. Le foreste selvagge fanno da sfondo alle tristi vicende delle marionette umane.
Lungo le rive del “fiume ghigliottina” nessuno sarà risparmiato.
Nato nel 1972, Antoine de Meaux ha scoperto la figura di Michel
Vieuchange nel 1998. La lettura del diario di viaggio (Smara, carnets
de route d’un fou du désert, Libretto, 2004) e degli archivi del giovane
avventuriero l'ha portato in Marocco, fino a Smara, nel cuore del
Sahara occidentale.
Da quella spedizione durata vari anni è nato il libro, tra biografia e reportage, L'Ultime
désert, vie et mort de Michel Vieuchange (Phébus, 2004, ried. Libretto, 2015). De Meaux ha poi
pubblicato Charles de Foucauld, l’explorateur fraternel (Points sagesse, 2008). Ha inoltre
realizzato diversi documentari per la televisione, compreso À la recherche de Michel
Vieuchange (con il regista Jacques Tréfouël, Les films du lieu-dit, 2007). Dal 2004 fa parte

Lost Boi
By Sassafras Lowrey
A bold and beautiful retelling of the Peter Pan story.
Sassafras Lowrey's gorgeously subversive queer punk novel reimagines the classic Peter
Pan story. Prepare to be swept overboard into a world of orphaned, abandoned, and
runaway bois who have sworn allegiance and service to Pan, the fearless leader of
Neverland, and to the newly corrupted Mommy Wendi.
Pan's best boi Tootles narrates this tale of the lost bois who call the Neverland squat
home, creating their own idea of family, united in their allegiance to Pan, the boi who
cannot be broken, and in their refusal to join ranks with Hook and the leather Pirates.
Like a fever-pitched dream, Lost Boi situates a children's fantasy within a transgressive
alternative reality, chronicling the lost bois' search for belonging and purpose, and their
struggle against the biggest foe of all: growing up.
Sassafras Lowrey got hir start writing as a straight-edge queer
punk zinester in Portland, Oregon, and grew up to become the
2013 winner of the Lambda Literary Emerging Writer Award.
Along the way, ze changed coasts, genders, and several other
things besides
http://pomofreakshow.com/sassmain/
At the heart of Lowrey's loving, amazing, and crafty re-telling of Barrie's classic Peter Pan story is love
and freedom, replete with bois and grrrls, sexy, sassy mermaids, leather pirates, and a melange of
preferred gender pronouns, rollicking fun, and danger that will leave readers longing to never grow up,
yet embracing becoming a new kind of grownup. Of the many adaptations of the classic Peter Pan tale,
Barrie would rise up and cheer Sassafras Lowrey's Lost Boi. —Charles Rice-Gonzalez, author of Chulito
I always suspected that something kinky and delicious was going on between Pan and his bois. But
make no mistake, the leather and protocol role play seen in Sassafras Lowrey's Neverland is only one
part of queering this fairytale. Lowrey queers the entire monomyth narrative by shifting the perspective
away from Wendi and allowing an insider -- Tootles, lead boi in service of Pan -- to tell the story.
Tootles' point of view is authentic and dire. Tootles knows exactly what is at stake for his chosen family
of tough lovers and lost bois. —Amber Dawn, author of Sub Rosa.

Aprile 1909, siamo ad Adana, nel sud della Turchia, nella pianura della Cilicia, con i suoi
campi di cotone e i suoi frutteti, il fiume Seyhan, il mare Mediterraneo. Chi avrebbe
potuto prevedere la follia omicida che avrebbe invaso i Giovani Turchi?
Amici, famiglie, pastori, il poeta Diran Melikan, Atom Papazian il gioielliere, Vahan il
rivoluzionario, assistono alla furia montante dell'odio e dell'intolleranza.
Qualcuno prega, altri impugnano le armi e combattono. La morte colpirà la
maggioranza, il destino per gli altri sarà l'esilio.
« Qui croirait qu’un écrivain d’aujourd’hui sache encore faire un envoûtant poème épique de pareil
