Dapin, Mark: King of the Cross
Book Number: 51296
Macmillan 2009 8vo softcover 308pp near fine. Violently funny, brutally incorrect, sly and subversive and addictive... A killer read from a writer who punches both hands and winks at the crowd while he's at it. His protagonist is part punk, part pug, part poet – an anti-hero who reveals his own back story as he gets the King of the Cross to unravel the eerily familiar tale of his unlikely rise from schoolboy pornographer to millionaire philanthropist. Truth might be stranger than fiction but in the hardened artery of Dapin's King's Cross, alleged fiction rings truer than the alleged facts. A cunning stunt that could get him knee-capped." (Andrew Rule, author of Underbelly)King of the Cross is a dazzling novel that explores the criminal world of Jacob Mendoza: legendary Godfather of Kings Cross and for more than four decades, Australia's most powerful and notorious crime figure. To record his epic life story he employs a hapless young reporter from the Australian Jewish Times. As Mendoza unfolds his seductive story of thugs and drugs, murders and mysteries, bikers, bent cops and girls, girls, girls, it emerges that he's not the only one with a past. And as the memoir takes shape, other more terrifying criminals are circling the kingdom that Mendoza built.This is crime fiction as it's never been written before. Funny, edgy, violent, subversive and utterly compelling, King of the Cross is wickedly entertaining.

Goodwin, Jason: The Janissary Tree
Book Number: 51369
Faber and Faber 2007 8vo softcover 352pp very good. Winner of the Edgar Award for Best Novel. It is 1836. Europe is modernizing and the Ottoman Empire must follow suit. But just before the sultan announces sweeping changes, a wave of murders threatens the fragile balance of power in his court. Who is behind them? Only one intelligence agent can be trusted to find out: Yashim, a man both brilliant and near-invisible in this world, an investigator who can walk with ease in the great halls of the empire, in its streets, and even within its harems--because, of course, Yashim is a eunuch. His investigation points to the Janissaries, who, for four hundred years were the empire's elite soldiers. Crushed by the sultan, could they now be staging a brutal comeback? And can they be stopped without throwing Istanbul into political chaos?
This first book in the Investigator Yashim series is a richly entertaining tale, full of exotic history and intrigue.

Bateman: Cycle of Violence
Book Number: 51416
HarperCollins Publishers Ltd November 13, 1995 8vo softcover 256pp very good. Miller, a raffish reporter for a Belfast newspaper, has been exiled to Crossmaheart, an Ulster town so violent it makes Belfast seem tranquil. He's there to replace a missing reporter who is presumed a victim of the troubles. Soon after his arrival, Miller falls in love with beautiful, troubled Marie, the missing journalist's girlfriend, and becomes a cog in the endless cycle of violence that afflicts Northern Ireland. Despite being stomped by Protestants and given a ridiculous perm prior to his scheduled execution by an IRA terrorist who is a hairdresser by day, Miller lurches ahead in his pursuit of Marie and his craft. Belfast journalist Bateman, the author of the highly regarded Divorcing Jack , has written a book that is hilariously, if mordantly, funny as well as profoundly tragic. He captures the wit, desperation, alcohol-fueled rage, and barely suppressed violence of a place that stumbles from one bombing to the next
