  The BRAND NEW psychological thriller from bestseller Diane Saxon 
  She’s been lying my whole life... 
  As if my mum breaking her hip and being rushed to hospital isn't shocking enough for one day, now in her post-operative delirium, she's just told me I'm not her daughter. That she has never been able to have children. 
  The nurse reassures me that people are often confused after a trauma. But I know this woman so well and I can tell there's a grain of truth in what she says. Which begs the questions: Who am I? Where did I come from? 
  When I dig into the truth, I suddenly stir up a hornet's nest of secrets, lies – and possibly a crime so unfathomable – that stretches back decades. 
  What has my mum done? 
  Can I trust her? 
  Or has my digging put us both in peril of our lives? 
  Diane Saxon’s new, absorbing thriller explores deceit, love, loyalty and family ties.

  The legendary poet and musician’s debut novel is “an impressively crafted urban noir . . . like an early forerunner of The Wire” (The Independent).   Known as the “godfather of rap” and an innovator of spoken-word soul music with songs like The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, Gil Scott-Heron wrote his first novel, The Vulture, while he was still a student at Lincoln University.

  The Singapore restaurant owner and amateur sleuth must solve a deadly case of poisoning in this “delicious sophomore entry [with] a sly bracing edge” (Kirkus Reviews). Few know more about what goes on in Singapore than Rosie “Aunty” Lee. When a scandal over illegal organ donation makes news, she already has a list of suspects. There’s no time to snoop, though—Aunty Lee’s Delights is catering a brunch for local socialites Henry and Mabel Sung at their opulent house. Rumor has it that the Sung family fortune is in trouble, and Aunty Lee wonders if the gossip is true. But she’s more than curious when Mabel and her son are found dead. The authorities blame it on Aunty Lee’s special stewed chicken with buah keluak, a local black nut that can be poisonous if cooked improperly. Aunty Lee has never carelessly prepared a dish. She’s certain the deaths are murder—and that they’re somehow linked to the organ donor scandal. To save her business and her reputation, she’s got to prove it—and unmask a dangerous killer whose next victim may just be Aunty Lee.
