The Woman in Black
“Wajahnya sarat dengki dan keputusasaan, seakan tengah mencari sesuatu yang telah direnggut darinya. Dan, wanita itu bersumpah mencurahkan seluruh kebencian dan kesumat dalam dirinya.” Ketika Arthur Kipps, pengacara muda, ditugaskan untuk menghadiri pemakaman seorang klien di kota kecil Crythin Gifford, dia menganggapnya sebagai batu pijakan untuk naik jabatan. Sang klien, Nyonya Drablow, tinggal sendiri di Eel Marsh House yang dikepung rawa-rawa berkabut. Rumah besar dan kuno ini yang hanya dapat didatangi ketika air sedang surut. Ternyata tak ada warga Crythin Gifford yang sudi berurusan dengan Nyonya Drablow maupun Eel Marsh House. Mereka bilang tempat itu dikutuk, sering terdengar lolongan mengenaskan dari balik kabut. Kipps menguatkan diri dan nekad bermalam di Eel Marsh House, meski banyak orang mencegahnya. Di rumah angker itu, Kipps bertemu dengan sesosok wanita bergaun hitam. Sosok arwah legenda yang kemunculannya selalu diikuti oleh kematian misterius. Sosok penuh dendam dan kebencian yang selalu ingin memakan korban. Dan kini dia mengejar Kipps. Siapakah sebenarnya wanita bergaun hitam itu? [Mizan Publishing, Qanita, Novel, Klasik, Terjemahan, Indonesia]

A Change of Circumstance
Simon Serrailler finds himself in devastating new territory as a sophisticated drugs' network sets its sights on Lafferton and the surrounding villages DCS Simon Serrailler has long regarded drugs ops in the Lafferton area as a waste of time. Small-time dealers are picked up outside the local secondary school, they're given a fine or a suspended and away they go. And rinse and repeat. But when the body of a young drug addict is found in neighbouring Starly, the case pulls Simon into a whole new way of running drugs. The foot soldiers? Vulnerable local kids like Brookie and Olivia, who will give Simon a bitter taste of this new landscape. It is a harsh winter at home as well as work. Simon's GP sister Cat and her husband Kieron are struggling with medical dramas big and small. A trip to Bevham General on her rounds sets off alarm bells for Dr Cat, and a visit from her son Sam as he tries to work out if his midwifery course is right for him coincides with a threat to their beloved family dog. Simon is working hard, but he's restless, wondering what next. There's nothing new going on for him in Lafferton, but sometimes the familiar holds surprises, too . . .
Jacob's Room is Full of Books
When we spend so much of our time immersed in books, who's to say where reading ends and living begins? The two are impossibly and gloriously wedded, as Hill shows in Jacob's Room Is Full of Books. Considering everything from Edith Wharton's novels through to Alan Bennett's diaries, Virginia Woolf and the writings of twelfth century monk Aelred of Rievaulx, Susan Hill charts a year of her life through the books she has read, reread or returned to the shelf. From beneath a shady tree in a hot French summer, or the warmth of a kitchen during an English winter, Hill reflects on what her reading throws up, from writing and writers to politics and religion, as well as the joy of dandies or the pleasure of watching a line of geese cross a meadow. Full of wry observations and warm humour, as well as strong opinions freely aired, this is a rare and wonderful insight into the rich world of reading from one of the nation's most accomplished authors.
The Clay We Are Made Of
If one seeks to understand Haudenosaunee (Six Nations) history, one must consider the history of Haudenosaunee land. For countless generations prior to European contact, land and territory informed Haudenosaunee thought and philosophy, and was a primary determinant of Haudenosaunee identity. In The Clay We Are Made Of, Susan M. Hill presents a revolutionary retelling of the history of the Grand River Haudenosaunee from their Creation Story through European contact to contemporary land claims negotiations. She incorporates Indigenous theory, fourth world post-colonialism, and Amerindian autohistory, along with Haudenosaunee languages, oral records, and wampum strings to provide the most compr...
The Benefit of Hindsight
Serrailler must confront his demons as Lafferton experiences a series of shocking crimes in this 10th book in Susan Hill’s shattering crime series Susan Hill stuns readers once again in The Benefit of Hindsight, the 10th book in her celebrated mystery series.

Serrailler makes a serious error of judgment when handling the incident, and the stress of this, combined with the ongoing trauma of losing his arm, takes its toll. In the tradition of the fabulous mysteries of Ruth Rendell and P. D. James, The Benefit of Hindsight is Susan Hill’s best work yet—a chilling new addition to a highly acclaimed series.
