<p><b>*NO.1 <i>SUNDAY TIMES</i> BESTSELLER*<br/><br/>'An unforgettable story of greed, financial madness and moral decay' Rory Stewart</b><br/><b>'Hilarious, shocking and deeply sad - often in the same sentence' <i>Sunday Times</i></b><br/><b>'<i>The Wolf of Wall Street</i> with a moral compass' Irvine Welsh</b><br/><br/><b>An outrageous, white-knuckle journey to the dark heart of an intoxicating world - from someone who survived the trading game and then blew it all wide open</b><br/><br/><i>'If you were gonna rob a bank, and you saw the vault door there, left open, what would you do? Would you wait around?</i><br/><br/>Ever since he was a kid, kicking broken footballs on the streets of East London in the shadow of Canary Wharf's skyscrapers, Gary wanted something better. Something a whole lot bigger.<br/><br/>Then he won a competition run by a bank: 'The Trading Game'. The prize: a golden ticket to a new life, as the youngest trader in the whole city. A place where you could make more money than you'd ever imagined. Where your colleagues are dysfunctional maths geniuses, overfed public schoolboys and borderline psychopaths, yet they start to feel like family. Where soon you're the bank's most profitable trader, dealing in nearly a trillion dollars. A <i>day</i>. Where you dream of numbers in your sleep - and then stop sleeping at all.<br/><br/>But what happens when winning starts to feel like losing? When the easiest way to make money is to bet on millions becoming poorer and poorer - and, as the economy starts slipping off a precipice, your own sanity starts slipping with it? You want to stop, but you can't. Because <i>nobody ever leaves</i>.<br/><br/>Would you stick, or quit? Even if it meant risking everything?<br/><br/>Number 1 <i>Sunday Times</i> bestseller, March 2024</p>

Will You Care If I Die? Bok
<p><i>The International Bestselling Memoir</i><br/><br/><b><i>Will You Care If I Die?</i> is an unforgettable memoir about social class, race, friendship and unexpected love, and a blazingly topical exploration of social polarization and the rise of the far right.</b><br/><br/><b>'A raw, intimate story of trust and betrayal'</b> - A. L. Kennedy, <i>The Guardian</i><br/><b>'It's heartbreaking. It's scary. It's beautiful' </b>- Fredrik Backman, author of <i>A Man Called Ove</i><br/><br/>In Sweden, where children murder children and where gun violence is the worst in Europe, Nicolas Lunabba's job as a social organizer with Malmoe's underclass requires firm boundaries and emotional detachment. But all that changes when he meets Elijah - an unruly teenage boy of mixed heritage whose perilous future reminds Nicolas of his own troubled and violent past.<br/><br/>Allowing Elijah into his home and then into his heart, Nicolas crosses one of his own red lines. With the odds stacked against them, and completely unprepared for the journey he and Elijah now set off on together, can Nicolas keep Elijah safe from harm and steer him towards a better future?<br/><br/>Written as a letter to Elijah, <i>Will You Care If I Die?</i> tells Nicolas and Elijah's story - and asks us to reimagine what it means to care for one another in an uncaring world.<br/><br/><i>Translated from the Swedish by Henning Koch</i></p>

<p>'An entertaining first-hand account of pure rock 'n' roll madness.' <i>The Daily Telegraph</i><br/><br/>'Hundreds of exclusive photos and brilliant one-liners make for a sensational read.' <i>the Sun</i><br/><br/>'We are the biggest band in Britain of all time, ever. The funny thing is, all that fucking mouthing off three years ago about how we were going to be the biggest band in the world - we actually went and did it.' Noel Gallagher<br/><br/>Oasis are one of the biggest bands the world has ever seen. Here, in <i>Supersonic, </i>they tell the story of their beginnings from dive-bar hopefuls to global superstars. They themselves talk us through the pivotal moments in their phenomenal trajectory, from the day Noel Gallagher joined his brother Liam's band, through their first crucial five years culminating at their landmark gigs at Knebworth Park in 1996 - the pinnacle of their success.<br/><br/>With over thirty hours of interviews with Liam, Noel and those closest to them, this book documents in unprecedented depth and with their trademark candour and humour, the story behind one of the world's greatest bands, all told in their own words and fully illustrated with exclusive photographs and ephemera throughout.</p>

Rememberings Bok
<p>Sinéad O'Connor's voice and trademark shaved head made her famous by the age of twenty-one. Her recording of Prince's Nothing Compares 2 U made her a global icon. She outraged millions when she tore up a photograph of Pope John Paul II on American television. O'Connor was unapologetic and impossible to ignore, calling out hypocrisy wherever she saw it. She has remained that way for three decades. Now, in Rememberings, O'Connor tells her story - the heartache of growing up in a family falling apart; her early forays into the Dublin music scene; her adventures and misadventures in the world of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll; the fulfilment of being a mother; her ongoing spiritual quest - and through it all, her abiding passion for music.</p>

War & Peace & War Bok
<p><b>'Andrew North has a deep empathy and understanding for Afghanistan and has seen sides of it - both good and horrifying - that very few international observers have encountered' Rory Stewart</b><br/><br/><b>'By weaving personal stories into a modern history of Afghanistan, Andrew North provides a touching and intimate portrait of the country he grew to love. His beautiful illustrations add a unique perspective on how war has destroyed or transformed generations of Afghans' Lindsey Hilsum</b><br/><br/>In early 2022, veteran journalist Andrew North was kidnapped by the Taliban. By the time he found himself imprisoned in a jail cell, he had been reporting from Afghanistan for two decades, coming to know hundreds of Afghans along the way. This book brings together both his and their stories.<br/><br/>Farzana was banned from attending school as a child, but education would take her further than she could have imagined.<br/><br/>Bilal's dream of becoming a journalist came true, but at a cost.<br/><br/>While Abdul's ambition to become a doctor was thwarted, Jahan's prospects transformed radically for the better.<br/><br/>And in a quiet province, the life of a boy called Naqibullah was shattered.<br/><br/>Witness to both the country's transformation and the mistakes that eventually led to its collapse, in <i>War & Peace & War</i> North vividly evokes a country where foreign powers and internal forces have been on a collision course for over two centuries.</p>
