- Dark forces / by Leather, Stephen,author.;
When a highly skilled IS sniper escapes from a targeted missile attack in Syria, Spider Shepherd makes sure to remember his face - which comes in handy when the same man turns up on a list of IS fighters who have already been smuggled into the UK. But Spider's working a different mission - posing as a hit man working for a crime family in South London, in order to eventually take them down. Then, when Spider attends a huge boxing match at a London stadium along with thousands of members of the public, he spots other IS fighters from the list in the crowds, and realises he's about to be caught up in a large-scale terrorist attack.- Subjects: Thrillers (Fiction); Shepherd, Dan (Fictitious character); Undercover operations;

- Lapvona / by Moshfegh, Ottessa,author.;
"In a village in a medieval fiefdom buffeted by natural disasters, a motherless shepherd boy finds himself the unlikely pivot of a power struggle that puts all manner of faith to a savage test, in a spellbinding novel that represents Ottessa Moshfegh's most exciting leap yet Little Marek, the abused and delusional son of the village shepherd, never knew his mother; his father told him she died in childbirth. One of life's few consolations for Marek is his enduring bond with the blind village midwife, Ina, who suckled him when he was a baby, as she did so many of the village's children. Ina's gifts extend beyond childcare: she possesses a unique ability to communicate with the natural world. Her gift often brings her the transmission of sacred knowledge on levels far beyond those available to other villagers, however religious they might be. For some people, Ina's home in the woods outside of the village is a place to fear and to avoid, a godless place. Among their number is Father Barnabas, the town priest and lackey for the depraved lord and governor, Villiam, whose hilltop manor contains a secret embarrassment of riches. The people's desperate need to believe that there are powers that be who have their best interests at heart is put to a cruel test by Villiam and the priest, especially in this year of record drought and famine. But when fate brings Marek into violent proximity to the lord's family, new and occult forces upset the old order. By year's end, the veil between blindness and sight, life and death, the natural world and the spirit world, will prove to be very thin indeed"--- Subjects: Historical fiction.; Novels.; Fiefs; Middle Ages; Midwives; Shepherds;
