Their father Patrick Mullen is a thug, a vicious enforcer for a corrupt Philadelphia union, and when he escapes from prison, bodies of ex-rivals and witnesses begin piling up. Now Frannie is suspected as an accomplice in his escape and targeted by shadowy killers from the Philadelphia underworld.

3 .Viviane / Julia Deck ; translated by Linda Coverdale.
Deck, Julia
Coverdale, Linda
Summary: "Editions de Minuit, publisher of Marguerite Duras and Alain Robbe-Grillet, rarely publishes a debut novel. Jean Echenoz, current star of this revered French literary house and enthusiastic fan of Julia Deck, confesses that he didn't send his first novel to Minuit because the publisher is "too demanding...too good for me." Yet thirty years later, a first novel published by Minuit has gripped French readers and taken the literary world by storm. Viviane is both an engrossing murder mystery and a gripping exploration of madness, a narrative that tests the shifting boundaries of language and the self. For inspiration, Deck read the work of another Minuit star, Samuel Beckett, because, as she says, "he positions himself within chaos and gives it coherence." This breakthrough novel, nominated for the Prix Femina, the Prix France Inter, and the Prix du Premier Roman, is sure to become a contemporary classic. Linda Coverdale, one of the most celebrated French translators working today, has created a faithful and propulsive English text that has been revised and approved by the author. "--

7 .Black lake / by Johanna Lane.

He and his wife, daughter and son will move from the luxury of the big house to a small, damp caretaker's cottage.

8 .Keane's challenge / Iain Gale.
Gale, Iain, author
London : Heron, 2014.
Summary: The Iberian Peninsula, 1809. French troops led by one of Napoleon's best generals are massing on the border. Wellington's outnumbered force and his unreliable Spanish allies need to pick off the smaller French units if they are to stand their ground. For that they need information: accurate intelligence on numbers, arms and whereabouts. That's where Captain Keane and his company of reformed scouting officers are invaluable tools - despite being unpopular with the regular soldiers. But it soon becomes apparent that someone high up in Wellington's headquarters is a spy for the French. Only someone able to travel widely outside the camp, someone privy to battle plans, could be the double agent - and Keane's enemies within the army are quick to point the finger.

11 .The extra ordinary life of Frank Derrick, age 81 / J.B. Morrison.
Morrison, J.B., author
Summary: Kelly Christmas made Frank feel like getting out of bed in the morning. She was like a replacement hip. His half an Aspirin a day. She was his stair lift and his Zimmer frame, Kelly was his grab rail and his large button telephone. She was his bath hoist. She was his easy to grip scissors, his one touch battery operated jar opener and his long handled shoehorn. Kelly was all the vitamin supplements he needed. Frank Derrick is eighty-one. And he's just been run over by a milk float.It was tough enough to fill the hours of the day when he was active. But now he's broken his arm and fractured his foot, it looks set to be a very long few weeks ahead. Frank lives with his cat Bill (which made more sense before Ben died) in the typically British town of Fullwind-on-Sea. The Villages in Bloom competition is the topic of conversation amongst his neighbours but Frank has no interest in that. He watches DVDs, spends his money frivolously at the local charity shop and desperately tries to avoid the cold callers continuously knocking on his door. Emailing his daughter in America on the library computer and visiting his friend Smelly John used to be the highlights of his week. Now he can't even do that.Then a breath of fresh air comes into his life in the form of Kelly Christmas, home help. With her little blue car and appalling parking, her cheerful resilience and ability to laugh at his jokes, Kelly changes Frank's life. She reminds him that there is a big wide-world beyond the four walls of his flat and that adventures, however small, come to people of all ages.Frank and Kelly's story is sad and funny, moving, familiar, uplifting. It is a small and perfect look at a life neither remarkable nor disastrous, but completely extraordinary nonetheless.

Karl puts settling down aside, longing for another crack at the scumbag who had his license revoked.

40 .My biggest lie / Luke Brown.
Brown, Luke, author
Edinburgh : Canongate, 2014.
Summary: Liam has it all. In front of him glitters an exciting career and a life with the woman he has loved from the moment he saw her. But on a feverish night out he loses his job, his home and his girlfriend. He is lucky to escape with his life. The action opens at Liam's lowest point: dumped by his girlfriend Sarah and responsible for the death of a novelist drinking buddy who was also a father figure and, perhaps most importantly, cash-cow for his publisher. He is jobless, friendless and almost homeless, so he flies to a miserable hostel in Buenos Aries to work out his penance and write the finest love letter he can muster in a bid to win Sarah back. What follows is a complicated, comedic series of episodes where Liam lurches from hostel to nightclub, hotel room to restaurant, from bar to bed to bar and back again. His sidekicks, the improbably sexy and unreconstructed Arturo, and James Cockburn, Liam's Dionysian former boss, are hardly the role models he is looking for in his pursuit of truth. The novel captures the sun-soaked sexiness of the city, the boredom and repetition of loneliness, and the hazy drug. Brown enjoys flirting with cliche: the tattooed gap-year students reading Alex Garland, the drunken fist fight over the Falklands, but he always manages to find the original and the true within these well-worn tropes. Liam's love letter turns into a novel and in the writing of it he discovers just how many drafts and how much artifice it takes to tell the truth.
