Filthy Rich
£20.00The story the powerful hoped would disappear. Written by the world’s bestselling storyteller James Patterson, this is the original and definitive account of how Jeffrey Epstein built his fortune, abused his power, and evaded justice for years – hiding in plain sight among the global elite. Drawing on original police interviews, court documents and victims’ testimonies, the book traces the earliest investigations, Epstein’s guilty plea and the shockingly lenient sentence that allowed his crimes to continue. ‘Filthy Rich’ is also a chilling examination of how power protects itself – and how institutions failed those most vulnerable.

A Short Road to Longbrook
£18.99It’s the mid-1960s and Lillian Wells is a clever teenager with a daring pixie cut, tangerine mini-dress and new boyfriend, Jim, who works at the brewery. Even better, he lives across the road, so she’s never far from her bee-hived, high-heeled single mother Winnie, who is prone to attacks of the nerves. But Lillian harbours secret dreams of going to art school in London. When she gets in, how will she tell her mother – and Jim – that she’s leaving Abingdon – and them? Forty years later, Lillian’s own daughter Rachel is heading off to university, but Lillian is not sure either of them are ready. She sees herself and Winnie in Rachel, who is ambitious and intelligent, but also prone to nervous habits. As Lillian tries to bite her tongue about Rachel’s symptoms, she is reminded of what everyone in Abingdon used to say: It’s a short road to Longbrook – the local institution for the mentally ill.

The husbands
£9.99One night Lauren finds a strange man in her flat who claims to be her husband. All the evidence – from photos to electricity bills – suggests he’s right. Lauren’s attic, she slowly realises, is creating an endless supply of husbands for her. There’s the one who pretends to play music on her toes. The one who’s too hot (there must be a catch). The one who makes a great breakfast sandwich. The one who turns everything into double entendres (‘I’ll weed your garden’). And the one who can calm her unruly thoughts with a single touch. But when you can change husbands as easily as changing a lightbulb, how do you know whether the one you have now is the good-enough one, or the wrong one, or the best one? And how long should you keep trying to find out?
