"Roy Grace is back in this gripping new instalment from number one bestselling author Peter James.
Brighton is celebrating. A killer is waiting. And Roy Grace is the target . . .
Brighton Pride is the biggest date on the city's calendar with half a million people lost in the party. But behind the opulent façade of the Royal Courteney Hotel, a nightmare is checking in.
Dritan Dervishi, the cold-blooded consigliere for Albanian mob boss Roel Albazi, has arrived with a beautiful woman on his arm and a lethal secret in his suitcase. He has specifically requested Room 321 - a room with a perfect view of the sea, and a deadly proximity to a target he's been dreaming of for years.
Detective Superintendent Roy Grace is already pushed to the limit, coordinating the city's massive security operation amid whispers of a potential terrorist attack. But the threat is more personal than he could ever imagine. Back in a prison cell, his old nemesis Albazi is counting down the seconds to a revenge that will not just take Roy's life, but erase his entire bloodline.
And as Roy and his wife Cleo prepare for a night of celebration at the Royal Courteney, they have no idea that they are stepping into a deadly trap.
As the relentless countdown nears zero, Roy must outsmart an invisible enemy and protect his loved ones before their time finally runs out . . .

"With one impatient phone call, a young Christopher Isherwood is drawn into the film industry.
On the other end of the line is the brilliant yet temperamental Austrian director Friedrich Bergmann. Christopher’s job is to rescue the script of a saccharine love story set in nineteenth-century Vienna, a film called Prater Violet. Meanwhile, in the real Vienna of 1934, the Austrian right crushes a socialist uprising. Bergmann is distraught; his family is in danger in Vienna, while his prophecy of a coming war goes unheeded by his British colleagues. As tensions on set grow, studio intrigues and competing egos threaten to derail the film, all while Hitler’s shadow lengthens over Europe.
This satirical tale has all the charm and observational prowess of Isherwood’s more famous novels, Goodbye to Berlin and A Single Man. Hailed as a ‘masterpiece’, a ‘discovery’, a ‘gem’, it is showcased here in audio by the versatile Daniel Weyman."

"K. is a land surveyor who arrives in a remote village with the hope of securing a position working for the mysterious Castle that looms over the settlement. But his attempts to gain access to the Castle are thwarted at every turn by confusing rules, indifferent officials, and an opaque system that seems designed to keep him out.
As K. struggles to navigate the labyrinth of the village and its convoluted bureaucracy, he becomes increasingly consumed by the sense that his purpose is both vital and unattainable. With its surreal atmosphere and dreamlike logic, The Castle explores themes of power, alienation, and the futility of striving for meaning in an indifferent world.
A haunting and thought-provoking work, The Castle offers a dark reflection on the human condition and the elusive nature of authority and purpose, leaving listeners to question the very systems that govern our lives."
