  They were the most powerful gang in Chinatown. Like the notorious crime families of the Italian Mob, the Asian youth gang known as the Ghost Shadows carved out their own territory in New York's underworld and ruled those streets for decades. Their leader Peter Chin, a young immigrant from the outskirts of Hong Kong, not only found a new family among his fellow gang members but became one of the two most powerful men in Chinatown's history at that time. Eventually it all came crashing down—when Chin and twenty-four other Ghost Shadows were indicted and imprisoned for racketeering. But throughout his twenty years in prison, and even since his release, Chin has kept his code of silence. Until now. 
   
   
   
  For the first time ever, the former leader of the Ghost Shadows breaks his silence in this tell-all to author Everett De Morier. From his arrival in New York's gritty Chinatown to his initiation into the street gangs, Chin found a new sense of belonging and brotherhood—as well as a dangerous world of gun fights and gang wars, gambling and extortion, shootings, and arrests. Now a successful businessman, Chin gives listeners a glimpse into why a young man would choose a life of crime—and how he managed to beat the odds and live to tell the tale. Chin's is a story of family, loyalty, and redemption, with an inspiring message of hope for anyone who's made mistakes.

  Virginia Louise Giuffre New memoir: The Story of Nobody’s Girl is a gripping, compassionate, and unflinching portrait of one woman’s fight for justice against some of the most powerful forces in the world. Told with cinematic depth and emotional honesty, this book traces Virginia Giuffre’s journey from a troubled childhood in Florida to the unimaginable world of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell — a world of privilege, exploitation, and silence. 
  Across ten evocative chapters, it follows her transformation from a frightened teenager trapped in a system of abuse to a global advocate whose courage sparked an international reckoning on trafficking, consent, and power. Through her lawsuits against Epstein, Maxwell, and Prince Andrew, Virginia shattered centuries of impunity surrounding the wealthy and well-connected, forcing institutions to confront their own complicity. 
  This book covers: 
  ●     The hidden systems of power, privilege, and complicity that enable exploitation and silence survivors. 
  ●     Virginia Giuffre’s personal transformation from victim to global advocate for justice and reform. 
  ●     The broader fight for accountability, prevention, and empathy in the global battle against human trafficking and abuse. 
  More than a biography, The Story of Nobody’s Girl is a testament to resilience and moral clarity. It explores how trauma becomes purpose, how silence can be broken, and how one voice can ignite global change. This is not only Virginia’s story — it is a rallying cry for every survivor and every reader to believe in the power of truth.

  'This book is a glowing achievement by one of the best essayists of her generation' Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff 
  ‘Witty, fresh and full of life’ Liv Little 
  Kimberly McIntosh has lived a full life, with a loving family, messy friendships, mind-expanding travel and all-night parties. She’s also spent that life wondering why such opportunities aren’t always available to people who look like her. 
  Stemming from years of social policy research and campaign work, this essay collection brings together all that Kimberly has learned; whether that’s dismantling the myth of social mobility for those who toe the line, to understanding why her teenage Facebook posts are quite so cringe. In it, she uses her own experiences to reveal how systematic injustice impacts us all, from the pressure of nuclear families, to enduring toxic friendships, to how painful it can be to watch Love Island. 
  Perfect for fans of Slay In Your Lane, Trick Mirror, and Bad Feminist, this dazzling debut collection brilliantly melds the personal and political to not only tell the story of a life, but what that life might teach us. 
  In Black Girl, No Magic, Kimberly McIntosh masterfully weaves her autobiography with a sharp critique of media and internet culture, highlighting the stark realities of relationships in the digital age. Her memoirs, filled with humour and wit, are a top pick for fans of non-fiction essays and collections. 
  For fans of Dolly Alderton (Everything I Know About Love), and Kenny Imafidon (That Peckham Boy).

  What if the stranger haunting your life… was you? 
  The Double is Fyodor Dostoevsky’s unnerving exploration of psychological breakdown, obsession, and the split self.  
  When Yakov Golyadkin, an anxious, low-level bureaucrat, encounters a man identical to him in appearance but opposite in personality, his world begins to unravel. This double not only infiltrates his life but begins to replace him in every way. 
  What follows is a disturbing and poignant descent into paranoia, self-loathing, and existential dread. Is the double a supernatural force, a projection of suppressed desires, or a symptom of madness? 
  What you’ll discover inside: 
  - A Chilling Psychological Drama – A tale of identity theft by one's own reflection. 
  - Themes of Madness and Alienation – A haunting look at isolation and the fractured mind. 
  - A Timeless Parable of Inner Conflict – Dostoevsky’s enduring insight into self and sanity. 
  - A Modern Translation – Updated for clarity while staying true to the original vision. 
  Join Golyadkin on his haunting journey and decide for yourself—who is the real man, and who is the shadow?
