What happens to people when they come across something they were never supposed to have seen? David Walker finds out when he witnesses the covert murder of a woman in the day-lit streets of New York City-a woman who knew too much. Now, it's up to David to pick up where she left off and follow where her trail of evidence leads. The only problem? The path she had been going down guides David directly into a web of conspiracies and mysteries that date back to the Nazi regime and World War II. A list of mysterious bank accounts-accounts that threaten to expose the CIA's darkest secret-were in this woman's possession. Will David be able to escape the eyes of the CIA, which has been watching him longer than he could ever have imagined? Will he manage to expose the biggest conspiracy of the twentieth century? A Loose End is a riveting thriller with momentous historical vision. Written with stunning insight into the complex cog that was World War II, this fast-paced novel of political conspiracy will change the way you look at the Second World War-and Hitler-forever.

A bored wife begins a torrid affair with another man—only to discover, in the process, that her husband isn’t quite as dull as she’d imagined. A woman is approached by an old classmate to help cover up a crime. An old and eerie legend connected to the seaside town of Tharangambadi, ‘Tranquebar’, is invoked in the present day. A quiet civil servant who is a closet James Bond fan comes to the rescue of a colleague being harassed. Revenge is sought, wrongs are righted, comeuppances dealt out in this collection of black humour short stories. These stories are a mix of the macabre and the humorous; some stories more dark than funny, some more quirkily and quietly humorous than unsettling. All have a twist in the tale that adds a final, memorable touch to each story. Originally published by Westland in 2012, My Lawfully Wedded Husband and Other Stories is now re-released in an e-book only format, with two brand new stories added to the initial collection.

In five richly imaginative novellas and a short story, Zhu Wen depicts the violence, chaos, and dark comedy of China in the post-Mao era. A frank reflection of the seamier side of his nation's increasingly capitalist society, Zhu Wen's fiction offers an audaciously plainspoken account of the often hedonistic individualism that is feverishly taking root. Set against the mundane landscapes of contemporary China-a worn Yangtze River vessel, cheap diners, a failing factory, a for-profit hospital operating by dated socialist norms-Zhu Wen's stories zoom in on the often tragicomic minutiae of everyday life in this fast-changing country. With subjects ranging from provincial mafiosi to nightmarish families and oppressed factory workers, his claustrophobic narratives depict a spiritually bankrupt society, periodically rocked by spasms of uncontrolled violence. For example, I Love Dollars, a story about casual sex in a provincial city whose caustic portrayal of numb disillusionment and cynicism, caused an immediate sensation in the Chinese literary establishment when it was first published. The novella's loose, colloquial voice and sharp focus on the indignity and iniquity of a society trapped between communism and capitalism showcase Zhu Wen's exceptional ability to make literary sense of the bizarre, ideologically confused amalgam that is contemporary China. Julia Lovell's fluent translation deftly reproduces Zhu Wen's wry sense of humor and powerful command of detail and atmosphere. The first book-length publication of Zhu Wen's fiction in English, I Love Dollars and Other Stories of China offers readers access to a trailblazing author and marks a major contribution to Chinese literature in English.
