The Gangster Squad

The shadowy Gangster Squad was formed in 1946 with eight men operating out of two rusted old Fords. They had no office and made no arrests — the idea was to remain invisible. By the time I met Sgt. Jack O'Mara, most of the early members were dead, so I set out to find the survivors. Based on the hugely popular Los Angeles Times column LA Noir: Tales from the Gangster Squad, this is the dark-hearted true story of a group of men cleaning up the mean streets of post-War America. From hundreds of interviews with the original members of the team, Paul Lieberman stitches together the story of Jack O'Mara, his dangerous colleague Jerry Wooters (the killer cop, that's what they called me) and their anything-goes war with arch-criminal Mickey Cohen and his budding rival Jack The Enforcer Whalen. A tale of stake-outs, shoot-outs and even the famous Black Dahlia murder case, this is ice-cool narrative non-fiction at its best — and the basis for a huge Warner Brothers film of the same name, starring Ryan Gosling, Sean Penn, Josh Brolin and Emma Stone.

His loyalty to the Bannock family goes beyond the call of duty. The pirates demand a crippling ransom for Cayla's release, and complicated political and diplomatic sensitivities render the major powers incapable of intervening. With growing evidence of the horrific torture to which Cayla is being subjected, Hazel calls on Hector to help her rescue her daughter. Between them, Hazel and Hector are determined to take the law into their own hands.

Imagine that your life is a film directed by God. A romcom, obviously, complete with happy-ever-after ending. There will be tears, tantrums and misunderstandings, but you know you'll get there — and get your girl — in the end. Welcome to Pat's world. It's a world of silver linings and true love, but also a world where God makes movies and Kenny G lurks in your attic — and when Pat befriends the tragic Tiffany, he begins to question whether or not he might have got the genre wrong. The Silver Linings Playbook is a novel about love, life and American football... and what happens when the woman you love isn't the woman of your dreams. 'A captivating, life-affirming read, guaranteed to be the feelgood book of the year' Liz Jensen 'Delightful... a smart, touching, quirky read' Scotland on Sunday

Join The Shoestring Club When the love of her life, Ed, announces his surprise engagement to her best friend, Julia Schuster is distraught but determined not to let them see how much she's hurting. She spies a remarkable dress in Shoestring, her sister's designer second-hand shop, and knows she'll only be able to stagger through the wedding day, showing everyone how over Ed she is, if her body is wrapped in its soft silk chiffon. Unfortunately it costs mega bucks and she's barely hanging on to her job as it is. Arietty Pilgrim can't and won't attend her fiercely competitive school reunion unless she can arrive wearing exactly the same dress. But working as an elephant keeper in Dublin Zoo does not a millionaire make. But fate has a funny way of bringing people together. Just as Julia starts to flounder amidst family troubles, problem drinking and a broken heart, she meets Arietty and the two of them set up The Shoestring Club time-sharing one extraordinary dress and beginning a life-altering friendship.
