"Brought to you by Penguin. You thought he was the one. You broke his heart. But now, he might be the only one who can save your life... Anna and Reid weren't meant to be, apparently. She's a fiery American journalist; he's a stoic British detective - it was nice while it lasted, and then it really wasn't. And Anna is over it now anyway. She's on the scent of a career-making story - a suspicious death amongst the cloistered elite world of Cambridge University, with a slice of police corruption too. It's just, the more she investigates, the more there's only one person she wants to talk to about it. She starts writing Reid a long sprawling email - it's not like she's ever planning to send it. Until suddenly, she's in desperate trouble. The problem with chasing a killer is that sometimes, you run right into them. And the only detective she can trust with her life, is the one who broke her heart...

The Last Gifts of the Universe

"Brought to you by Penguin. A dying universe. A search for answers. An adventure at the end of a trillion lifetimes. When the Home worlds finally achieved the technology to venture out into the stars, they found a graveyard of dead civilisations. What befell them is unknown. All Home knows is that they are the last ones left – and whatever came for the others will one day come for them. Scout is an Archivist who scours the dead worlds of the cosmos for their last gifts: interesting technology, cultural rituals – anything left behind that might be useful to Home and their survival. During an excavation on a lifeless planet, Scout unearths something unbelievable: a surviving message from an alien who witnessed the world-ending entity thousands of years ago. Now Scout, their brother and their sometimes-fearless, space-faring cat, Pumpkin, must race to save what matters most. ©2024 Riley August (P)2024 Penguin Audio"

Since that day, prize-winning independent journalist Katerina Gordeeva has travelled to refugee centres across Europe to record the human voice and cost of war.

These twenty-four voices will transform what you think you know about war, grief and human nature. 'Read this book. Don't put it off until you'll supposedly be strong enough and ready for the reading. If you put it off, you'll find yourself defenseless in the face of evil.' - Svetlana Alexievich, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and author of Chernobyl Prayer ©2024 Katerina Gordeeva (P)2024 Penguin Audio"
