  • Guilt: A shocking legal thriller filled with lies and lust

    03

    No one is above the law…

    From New York Times bestseller John Lescroart comes an exhilarating look at a trial that will change the lives of everyone it touches. Guilt is a legal thriller perfect for fans of J.J. Miller and John Sandford.

    ‘A great thriller: breakneck pacing, electrifying courtroom scenes, and a cast of richly crafted characters’ – People

    Influential San Francisco attorney Mark Dooher – affluent, powerful, totally in control – is accustomed to getting what he wants. When he meets a beautiful young attorney, he decides he wants her, too. But Mark Dooher is a married man, and as legal counsel for San Francisco’s Archdiocese, divorce is not exactly an option. Then Dooher’s wife is murdered, and Mark becomes a suspect in the case. Even then, there’s no cause for alarm. The woman he wants is close by his side. His best friend, the ever-loyal Wes Farrell, is his defense lawyer. And his own client, the Catholic Church, is in his pocket. Nothing – not past crimes, current scandal, or future desires – is going to stop him. Except, perhaps, the truth…

    What readers are saying about Guilt:

    ‘Strong characters lead the way in this genuine page turner. A great build up and masterful misdirection’

    ‘Finely drawn characters drive the plot’

    ‘The courtroom scenes are crafted beautifully’

    From the bestselling author of Beyond the Moonlit Sea comes an atmospheric tale of how one woman’s search for the truth uncovers long-hidden secrets and rocks the very foundation of her world.

    Scarlett Fontaine is a true Hollywood legend—a singer, actress, and beloved fashion icon. But Scarlett dies tragically at just thirty-six years old, leaving behind no children. Or so the story goes…

    Gwen Hollingsworth is the curator at a museum dedicated to Scarlett’s life. She’s also sole heir to Scarlett’s fortune as a descendant of the star. But all is not well in Gwen’s world. She’s dealing with a messy marital separation and is struggling to move forward. So when Peter Miller, a biographer and photojournalist, comes to the museum with shocking claims about Scarlett—a life of exile in Alaska, a baby born in secret—Gwen’s whole world is turned upside down. Again.

    Determined to uncover the truth, Gwen and Peter set out for Alaska together but soon find themselves on a path toward something far deeper and more meaningful than either of them ever expected.

    A Storm of Infinite Beauty takes readers on a breathtaking journey from a lush vineyard in Nova Scotia to a rustic lodge in Alaska where old family secrets are revealed and the quest for true happiness begins.

    They’re cold-blooded killers, but nobody would know. Their disguise is that good.

    I think my boss is stalking me.
    Right up until the moment he proposes.

    Adler Costa owns the Sunrise hotel and casino. He’s filthy rich, connected to some shady organizations, and I’m pretty sure he’s obsessed with me.

    But when my addict brother gets caught stealing from the Costa family, I’m given a choice:

    He needs a baby.

    Ellie Browne, landlady of the Dog & Duck, is looking forward to a relaxing Christmas Day before the arrival of her and Max’s baby in the new year.

    But with a snowstorm brewing outside, it seems that things might not go quite to plan. After the dramatic events of the holiday season, Ellie settles into her new life at Max’s huge country mansion, Braithwaite Manor, juggling work and family as best she can.

    When she’s asked to help organise a summer wedding for one of her best friends it’s only natural that her mind turns to her own non-existent wedding plans! But with Max decidedly lukewarm on the subject and other family complications threatening to disrupt life further, Ellie fears there’ll never be wedding bells at the Dog & Duck after all.

    The perfect feel-good love story for fans of Cathy Bramley, Heidi Swain and Julie Houston.

    What readers say about Jill Steeples:

    ‘Jill Steeples makes the reader feel as though the characters are life long friends and I love how they all link together in one way or another. Looking forward to more from this Author in the near future.’

    ‘It is a very festive and cosy read. This is a lovely heartwarming read which also has a few surprises and twists and turns. I really enjoyed reading this book.’

    ‘Snowflakes Over Primrose Woods is superbly written but then I have come to expect nothing less from Jill Steeples. Jill has one of those easy going writing styles that is easy to get used to and easy to get along with. In fact reading one of Jill’s books feels more like a chat between friends rather than reading a book.’

  • ISLAM THE MISUNDERSTOOD RELIGION

    As I wrote this book over the years I did not entertain the hope that it would elicit
    such a warm reception and appreciation, And when it went to the press over and over
    again I thanked God and felt grateful to the readers who took so much interest in the
    contents of this book.
    I was, however, beginning to feel that in the future this book need not be republished,
    For, in my view, we had better no way some thing positive about Islam itself in the
    context of the various fields of life it embraces, and the positivity and the supervisory
    character that its law enjoys with regard to practical life, as I have attempted in the books
    appearing after the present one, instead of limiting our efforts to defending it against the
    various doubts given currency to by its enemies in order to confuse and throw us on the
    defensive.
    But when I read the orientalist Mr. Wilfred Cantwell smith’s book “Islam in Modern
    History”, and found that the author had in three places referred to this book of mine in
    words so angry and disparaging that came very near to openly calling names. I decided
    that the book that had roused the anger of a rancorous crusader to such an extent must
    remain in circulation and be published over and over again.
    All my thanks are due to Allah; His Grace alone brings succor

  • Chinese Literature and Culture Volume 15: Xuemo: Imagination and Spirituality

    We are very pleased to welcome Xuemo, another prize-winning author, into this new volume of Chinese Literature and Culture, which consists of excerpts of The Curse of Western Xia and excerpts of The Love Letters of Sharwardi in excellent English translation as well as two book reviews: Robert Tindol on the novel Desert Rites and Stephen Rake on the novel Desert Hunters. An author should have character and Xuemo is certainly the type we are looking for. Of all Chinese authors we have translated so far, Xuemo is unique in his spirituality and power of imagination.Unlike many writers who write in formulas that make predictable stories, Xuemo writes in a way that surprises the reader but meanwhile never loses the plot of a spiritual quest.In The Curse of Western Xia, five excerpts of which are published in the present volume, a robber father wants his son to be a robber while the Buddhist mother wants the son to be a monk, and as a result a series of strange stories take place. The novel also has another plot: a love story develops between a beautiful lady burglar and a Buddhist monk and is consummated in the religious practice of dual cultivation. In the words of Prof. Chen Xiaoming speaking to his students, “Xuemo gives a surreal experience by developing his literary narrative as a religious one which accesses and describes the world of evil as in a dream, a world as pale as the winter sun in the western deserts shining onto mud and soil, visible and weak, illusory and real at the same time.”Xuemo is best known for his novels but he is equally accomplished at short stories. Chen Sihe, Professor of Chinese, Fudan University, in “What Is the Best Freeze Frame of Beauty?” (Shanghai Literature) notes: “Xuemo is particularly good at creating epic volumes. When I read Desert Rites and Hunters’ Land, I feel as if I were actually transported to the vast, dry deserts…. On the other hand, his short stories are beautiful, animated and filled with sentiment…” He also notes, “While everything is dark and the reader wonders how the human evils and cruelties come into being and how humans have degenerated into beasts, Xuemo gives us a surprising miracle.”Xuemo’s works form a huge collection. The current volume can only serve as a teaser. If one wants to read more, they will have to find the Goldblatt translations and then wait for new translations.
