A heavily armed counter-assault<br />
team. Sedatives strong enough for<br />
large animals. A hood. A mouthguard.<br />
And Secret Service Agents asking<br />
for selfies. Not your average meeting<br />
with the President. But Orphan X<br />
is not your average guest. The last<br />
survivor of the off-the-books Orphan<br />
programme, Evan was trained to do<br />
his government’s dirty work. Until he<br />
escaped. Now the President makes an<br />
offer: kill a man, or be executed. If you<br />
haven’t yet discovered The Orphan X<br />
books by Gregg Hurwitz, you’re in for<br />
a treat. And for fans of Evan Smoak,<br />
The Last Orphan has all the high<br />
tension you’d expect, particularly in<br />
this one ... since putting Orphan X in<br />
an impossible spot only makes him<br />
more dangerous. Penguin<br />
Gil knows his nephew, Matthew, is<br />
dangerous. The signs were there ...<br />
on a family holiday Gil’s daughter<br />
was discovered nearly drowning at<br />
the bottom of a pool, while Matthew<br />
looked on. Now 17, Matthew is<br />
orphaned and has to leave his Upper<br />
<strong>East</strong> Side Manhattan life behind to<br />
live with Gil, his wife and daughters<br />
in rural Vermont. To Gil, he appears<br />
insolent, bored, disconnected. To the<br />
women he’s charming, intelligent,<br />
wry. But when he joins Gil’s writing<br />
classes, Matthew’s fiction shows a<br />
vivid and macabre imagination ... he<br />
is clearly announcing his intentions<br />
to Gil, taunting him before he does<br />
something awful to his family. Nathan<br />
Oates’ A Flaw in the Design is<br />
creepily thrilling. Profile<br />
In Julia Bartz’ The Writing Retreat,<br />
five attendees are selected for a<br />
month-long writing retreat at the<br />
remote estate of Roza Vallo, the<br />
controversial high priestess of<br />
feminist horror. Alex, a struggling<br />
writer, is thrilled. Upon arrival, the<br />
five discover they must complete an<br />
entire novel from scratch, and the<br />
best one will receive a sevenfigure<br />
publishing deal. Finally, Alex’s<br />
long-extinguished dream now seems<br />
within reach. But then the women<br />
begin to die. Trapped, terrified yet<br />
still desperately writing, it is clear<br />
there is more than a publishing<br />
deal at stake at Blackbriar Estate.<br />
