'Impossible to put down and full of twists and turns you won't
see coming! I loved this fabulous debut novel.'—Liane Moriarty,
bestselling author of Nine Perfect Strangers
Lexie and her husband, Marty, have moved to Merrigang, a
small village on the edge of Canberra, with their three-year-
old daughter, Bella, to create a new life after a horrific 'trial by
media' in Sydney. While the relationship between husband and
wife is still strained, they have each made tentative friends and
are beginning to feel safe in their new home, living under a new
surname.
One Thursday morning, Lexie and Bella are at Merrigang
playgroup, a haven of safety for Lexie. Lexie leaves Bella in the
care of five playgroup mums while she walks to the nearby shop
for biscuits. Six minutes later, Bella is gone. As appeals are made
for her safe return, hate messages appear on a website targeting
Lexie and Marty, with social media trolls in full force. Police
start to dig up the past and as members of Lexie and Marty's
newly created group of friends implode with doubt, suspicion
lands on Lexie and Marty themselves. Where is Bella and who is
determined to destroy Lexie and Marty's lives?
Petronella McGovern is a writer and editor. After working in
Canberra for a number of years, she now lives in Sydney.

9781760529307 | $32.99 | | PB | FICTION
A gripping, globe-spanning historical epic from the author of
Infamy
'A thrilling tale of adventure told across centuries and continents
. . . It made me laugh and cry and swear with astonishment. It is
savage and nihilistic, wise and kind, never less than gripping, and
it is over far sooner than you want it to be.' - Geordie Williamson,
Chief Literary Critic, The Australian
In 1806 Napoleon Bonaparte conquered Prussia. Beginning on
the very day he leads his triumphant Grande Armee into Berlin
through the Brandenburg Gate. Fortune traces the fate of a
handful of souls whose lives briefly touch on that momentous day
and then diverge across the globe.
Spanning more than a century, the novel moves from the
Napoleonic Wars to South America, and from the early penal
settlement of Van Diemen's Land to the cannons of the First
World War, mapping the reverberations of history on ordinary
people. Some lives are willed into action and others are merely
endured, but all are subject to the unpredictable whims of
chance. Fortune is a historical novel like no other, a perfect jewel
of epic and intense brilliance.
Lenny Bartulin is the acclaimed author of Infamy and The Black
Russian. He lives in Hobart.

From the critically acclaimed author of The Kiss Quotient comes a
romantic novel about love that crosses international borders and
all boundaries of the heart
Khai Diep has no feelings. Well, he feels irritation when people
move his things or contentment when ledgers balance down
to the penny, but not big, important emotions—like grief. And
love. He thinks he's defective. His family knows better—that his
autism means he just processes emotions differently. When he
steadfastly avoids relationships, his mother takes matters into
her own hands and returns to Vietnam to find him the perfect
bride.
As a mixed-race girl living in the slums of Ho Chi Minh City, Esme
Tran has always felt out of place. When the opportunity arises to
come to America and meet a potential husband, she can't turn it
down, thinking this could be the break her family needs. Seducing
Khai, however, doesn't go as planned. Esme's lessons in love seem
to be working . . . but only on herself. She's hopelessly smitten
with a man who's convinced he can never return her affection.
With Esme's time in the United States dwindling, Khai is forced to
understand he's been wrong all along. And there's more than one
way to love.
Helen Hoang is the acclaimed author of The Kiss Quotient. In
2016, she was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in line

out in Lauren DuBois's trademark hilarious style. She will tackle
the realities of pregnancy, having a new-born, a baby and a
toddler by breaking each stage down into bite-size chunks for the
tired parent teetering on the brink.
This is not a practical parenting handbook. It is a funny book that

The first full telling of what happened to MH17 and the stories of
those who were killed on that tragic day
On 17 July 2014, Malaysian Airlines MH17 was shot out of the sky
above the Ukraine. Aboard were 38 Australians and 260 others,
both airline staff and international travellers. No one survived.
Subsequently it was shown that the airliner was almost certainly
hit by a Buk surface-to-air missile fired by Ukrainian separatists
aided by the Russian military. But from that day to now, the
Russians have refused to take any responsibility for these deaths.
The debris from the plane's disintegration mid-air was spread
over 50 square kms, but for days rescue teams
and investigators were denied access. Australia contributed
personnel to both the body identification team and the crash
investigation, which has taken many years.
This is the story of some of the people who boarded that fatal
flight and the conflict below them that was doomed to destroy
their lives and the happiness of the people they left behind them.
It is the story of a continuing clamour for justice. It is the fullest
account yet published of what happened on that fatal day and
subsequent events.
