Watching Maite from a distance, he comes to see her as a kindred spirit who shares his love of music and the unspoken loneliness of his heart. As Maite and Elvis come closer to discovering the truth behind Leonora's disappearance, they can no longer escape the dangers threatening to consume their lives, with hitmen, government agents and Russian spies all aiming to find or protect Leonora's secrets - at gunpoint. Velvet Was the Night: an edgy, passionate, simmering noir thriller from a writer at the very top of her game.

IL MESSICO NEGLI ANNI SETTANTA è un posto pericoloso, anche per una donna tranquilla come Maite che lavora come segretaria e passa il tempo a fantasticare leggendo palpitanti romanzi d'amore a fumetti, senza preoccuparsi troppo delle proteste che infiammano la città. Invidia un po' la sua vicina di casa, Leonora, una bellissima studentessa di arte che sembra avere una vita piena di romanticismo e avventura. Ma quando la ragazza scompare in circostanze poco chiare, Maite si trova a indagare sulla sua sparizione, e soprattutto a scavare nella sua vita segreta fatta di lotte studentesche e ambizioni rivoluzionarie. Il Messico negli anni Settanta è un posto difficile anche per Elvis, sicario specializzato nel pestaggio di manifestanti di sinistra e appassionato di rock'n'roll, che si intende più di vecchi film che di intrighi politici e detesta la violenza. Quando lo incaricano di ritrovare Leonora, la sua strada inevitabilmente incrocia quella di Maite. Presi nel vortice di due traiettorie parallele, Elvis e Maite cercheranno di scoprire cosa si cela dietro la scomparsa di Leonora, tra assassini professionisti, agenti governativi e spie russe. Perché il Messico negli anni Settanta è un mondo pieno di ombre, in cui la vita vale poco ma il prezzo della verità può essere altissimo.

The award-winning author of Gods of Jade and Shadow (one of the 100 best fantasy novels of all time, TIME magazine) returns with a mesmerising feminist Gothic fantasy, in which a glamorous young socialite discovers the haunting secrets of a beautiful old mansion in 1950s Mexico. He is trying to poison me. You must come for me, Noemí. You have to save me. When glamorous socialite Noemí Taboada receives a frantic letter from her newlywed cousin begging to be rescued from a mysterious doom, it's clear something is desperately amiss. Catalina has always had a flair for the dramatic, but her claims that her husband is poisoning her and her visions of restless ghosts seem remarkable, even for her. Noemí's chic gowns and perfect lipstick are more suited to cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing, but she immediately heads to High Place, a remote mansion in the Mexican countryside, determined to discover what is so affecting her cousin. Tough and smart, she possesses an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: not of her cousin's new husband, who is both menacing and alluring; not of his father, the ancient patriarch who seems to be fascinated by Noemí; and not of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemi's dreams with visions of blood and doom. Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family's youngest son. Shy and gentle, he seems to want to help, but might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family's past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family's once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes, but as Noemí digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness. And Noemí, mesmerised by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to leave this enigmatic house behind . . . The Daughter of Doctor Moreau, the new book from Silvia Moreno-Garcia, is available to pre-order now.

'Intelligent, witty and stylish' INDEPEDENT 'Everyone's appetites will be satisfied' ELLE MAGAZINE 'Waters is an author to cherish' GUARDIAN Celebrating five decades of the feminist publisher, each of the Five Gold Reads represents an iconic moment in Virago's history, from the 1970s to today. Piercing the shadows of the naked stage was a single shaft of rosy limelight, and in the centre of this was a girl: the most marvellous girl - I knew it at once! - that I had ever seen . . . Sarah Waters's debut, a delicious reimagining of late-Victorian life, chronicles the adventures of Nan King, who begins life as an oyster girl in the provincial seaside town of Whitstable. Her fortunes are forever changed when she falls in love with a cross-dressing music-hall singer named Miss Kitty Butler. When Kitty's career takes a glittering turn, Nan accompanies her to London as her dresser and secret lover, and, soon after after, dons trousers herself to join the act. But this is only beginning of Nan's adventures, in a novel that follows her through heartbreak, recovery and steamy sexual education, and sees her finally finding friendship and true love in the most unexpected places. 'It's a rare pleasure to discover a writer as assured as Waters' SUNDAY TIMES 'A first-class storyteller' EVENING STANDARD 'Sarah Waters, quite simply, is one of our greatest writers' SUNDAY EXPRESS 'Waters' persistent picking apart of class is fascinating' OBSERVER

I thought everything would change, after the war. And now, no one even mentions it. It is as if we all got together in private and said whatever you do don't mention that, like it never happened. It's the late 1940s. Calm has returned to London and five people are recovering from the chaos of war. In scenes set in a quiet dating agency, a bombed-out church and a prison cell, the stories of these five lives begin to intertwine and we uncover the desire and regret that has bound them together. Sarah Waters's story of illicit love and everyday heroism takes us from a dazed and shattered post-war Britain back into the heart of the Blitz, towards the secrets that are hidden there. Olivier-nominated playwright Hattie Naylor has created a thrilling and theatrically inventive adaptation of a great modern novel. The stage adaptation of The Night Watch was premiered at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, on 16 May 2016.
