October is here and autumn has arrived, bringing four powerful new releases 🍁
THE FOUR SPENT THE DAY TOGETHER by is an unforgettable novel set on Minnesota’s Iron Range, where three teenagers inexplicably murder an older acquaintance. Neighbour Catt Greene turns away from her own life and becomes obsessed with the case. Her investigation into the teenagers’ motives becomes an excavation of her own past — travelling back through the idiosyncratic, aspirational lives of her parents in the working-class Bronx and small-town, blue-collar Milford, Connecticut.
In SCIENCE UNDER SIEGE, world-renowned scientists Michael Mann and Peter Hotez expose the five powerful forces undermining science — plutocrats, pros, petrostates, phonies, and the press — and show how to fight back. Drawing on two decades on the front lines of climate and public health battles, they reveal how politically and ideologically driven attacks on science threaten our ability to confront crises like pandemics and climate change.
ERNEST RUTHERFORD AND THE BIRTH OF MODERN PHYSICS traces how modern physics emerged from the groundbreaking work of New Zealander Ernest Rutherford. As the ‘father of the atom,’ Rutherford not only transformed our understanding of matter but also mentored a generation of physicists, including Niels Bohr, whose discoveries reshaped science.
DARKENBLOOM unfolds in a town haunted by secrets everyone refuses to name. As East German refugees gather nearby and a stranger arrives asking questions, buried histories resurface — letters appear, people vanish, and a body is found. Through a web of exiled counts, Nazis-turned-Soviet-enforcers, secret marriages, and mislabelled graves, this novel explores guilt, memory, and the corrosive silence that lingers after war. Written by one of Austria’s most significant contemporary authors, it is a powerful reckoning with Europe’s buried past.
