Big Bad Blood is Australia's answer to the slash-and-burn novels of James Ellroy - a big crime thriller set in the netherworld of organised crime and official corruption peopled with desperate, drastically flawed characters. The world Dave Warner creates is dark and seamy, filled with shakedowns, prostitutes, transvestites, crooked cops, porn merchants and makers and an ever increasing flow of drugs. Sydney 1965. The Beatles on every radio, Tommy Smith and George Moore winning almost every race, and 33-year-old detective Ray Shearer on the take. Shearer acts as muscle for Kings Cross businessman and 'colourful racing personality', George Shaloub. George has troubles. He wants to knock down some terraces in the Cross to build a business centre, but heiress and local newspaper publisher Jenny Wilson is running a campaign against him. To compound his problems, one of his prostititutes (Sally Prescott) is found murdered in a copycat of an horrific molestation murder eight years previously. Much to his annoyance, Ray Shearer finds himself on the Prescott homicide case. He earns far more as Shaloub's standover man and sees the murder inquiry as an irritating time-waster. Or maybe not. When Ray was twelve his parents died as a result of deliberate arson. If there is one consolation to be found it is that a good result on the homocide might finally see him transferred to Arson where he will be able to wrestle more often with his personal demon, perhaps one day stumbling over the killer of his parents. Another cop who crosses Shaloub's path is young John Gordon. Gordon is a fresh-faced ingenue who manages to 'save' George Shaloub's mistress from an armed robber. It turns out Shaloub's mistress is a transvestite, Sue Foley. The innocent Gordon is simultaneously fascinated and repulsed by Sue's attentions. It is Gordon who is the first cop on the scene of the Prescott slaying. When he finds a crucifix sticking out of her anus, he pulls it out without thinking, then is horrified at how he has contaminated the crime scene and probably wrecked his police career. He is saved by Gordon, who covers up the mistake, takes Gordon under his wing, and decides to pursue the crucifix lead in the hope that it will give him the jump on solving the case. To get help on the crucifix i.d. Shearer goes to see his older brother Patrick. Patrick, who had been with Ray when their parents were killed, is now a priest - a powerbroker in the Catholic Church, with Vatican aspirations. He disapproves of Ray's separation and impending divorce from his wife, and continually rebukes Ray for his criminal associations, unaware that he is the reason Ray wound up in Shaloub's clutches in the first place. The Prescott inquiry is grinding on without much joy when things really start hopping. Two young women are found murdered in the sand dunes at Wanda Beach. The m.o. is one more in the same copycat style as that of Prescott. Ray searches for a link between Prescott and the two new victims. He discovers a Prescott connection to the Attorney General who has just wound up dead in his swimming pool. the AG was thick with Shaloub. Ray has to ask himself: Could Shaloub be involved in all of this? Another bombshell. Ray discovers that Sue Foley, Shaloub's trannie girlfriend, was a classmate of the original murderer on whose grisly work the recent killings have been based. Then another twist: Jenny Wilson disappears. Then John Gordon is kidnapped by Sue Foley. Before abandoning him she spills out a tale of childhood molestation at the hands of a Christian Brother. She talks about revenge. Shearer and Gordon make Foley as the killer and embark on a furious chase to grab her before she kills again. But that is only the beginning. In their quest for truth, Shearer and Gordon must descend into a labyrinth of guilt, shame and hate. Only by confronting their own dark and terrible secrets can they succeed. Only by allowing themselves to be baptised by the river of Big Ba

A disillusioned newspaper reporter turned private detective, Ray Dudgeon isn't trying to save the world. He just wants to do an honest job, and do it well. But when doing an honest job threatens society's most powerful and corrupt, Ray's odds for survival make for a sucker's bet. . . . While working on a movie in Chicago, Hollywood locations manager Bob Loniski saw something he shouldn't have. Now he's a prosecution witness against a suspected member of the Chicago Outfit. Petrified, he comes to Ray for protection. Ray's mob contacts insist that they have no interest in Loniski, so he takes the bodyguard gig. Then people start dying and everything goes to hell. Ray's investigation leads to a stash of blackmail files involving the sex trade, Washington political corruption, and a deadly power struggle among Chicago's organized crime bosses—setting the FBI, the Chicago police, and the mob on his tail. He now holds evidence against top-ranking cops and politicians . . . but with the line between good and bad blurring, he doesn't know who he can trust. If he does the right thing, Ray is sure to die. But if he doesn't, how can he live with himself? From the back alleys of Chicago to the man-sions of Beverly Hills to the corridors of power in Washington, D.C., Sean Chercover's Big City, Bad Blood propels readers relentlessly forward on a bullet-fast, adrenaline-pumping ride they will not soon forget.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The gripping story of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos—one of the biggest corporate frauds in history—a tale of ambition and hubris set amid the bold promises of Silicon Valley, rigorously reported by the prize-winning journalist. With a new Afterword covering her trial and sentencing, bringing the story to a close. “Chilling ... Reads like a thriller ... Carreyrou tells [the Theranos story] virtually to perfection.” —The New York Times Book Review In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the next Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose startup “unicorn” promised to revolutionize the medical industry with its breakthrough device, which performed the whole range of laboratory tests from a single drop of blood. Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fundraising round that valued the company at more than $9 billion, putting Holmes’s worth at an estimated $4.5 billion. There was just one problem: The technology didn’t work. Erroneous results put patients in danger, leading to misdiagnoses and unnecessary treatments. All the while, Holmes and her partner, Sunny Balwani, worked to silence anyone who voiced misgivings—from journalists to their own employees.
