It should be the most natural thing in the world. But in Tony Parsons' latest bestseller, three couples discover that Mother Nature can be one hell of a bitch.

FAMILY WAY

Seven short stories from bestselling author Tony Parsons, based on his week as Writer in Residence at Heathrow airport.

 Here is Heathrow as it has never been seen before - a secret city populated by the 75 million travellers who pass through every year, a place where journeys and dreams end - and begin. From the brilliant twenty-something kids who control the skies up in Air Traffic Control to the softly-spoken man who cares for the dogs, lions and smuggled rattlesnakes at Heathrow's Animal Reception Centre, from the immigration officers who have heard it all before to the firemen who hone their skills by setting the green plane on fire, from the armed police who watch for terrorist attacks to the pilots who have touched the face of god - Heathrow teems with life. In Departures, his first collection of short stories, Tony Parsons takes us deep inside the secret city.

Departures: Seven Stories from Heathrow

Emma Moon is out. She's served nine years hard time for an armed robbery that killed two men and enriched many more. But Emma's never talked; she's never revealed who was with her on the day of the robbery or who killed both men. And she's never given up the money. And now she's free. But everything has gone: her family; her share of the money and her faithless loser of a husband. So now Emma Moon is in a hurry. Because it's payback time and, after nine years inside, she has friends and she has disciples - people who will do anything for her. As the bodies of the innocent and the guilty pile up, one detective stands between a career criminal and her quest for revenge. Max Wolfe, single parent of a teenage daughter, a fiercely independent detective who owes nothing to anyone and who has own very particular form of justice ...____________Praise for the Max Wolfe series ...'Spectacular!

Murder for Busy People - A new Max Wolfe thriller from the no.1 bestselling author

This is the story of how we grow old - how we give up the dreams of youth for something better - and how many chances we have to get it right.

 George Bailey has been given the gift we all dream of - the chance to live his life again. After suffering a heart attack at the age of 42, George is given the heart of a 19-year-old - and suddenly everything changes.

 He is a friend to his teenage son and daughter - and not a stern Home Secretary, monitoring their every move.

 He makes love to his wife all night long - instead of from midnight until about five past. And suddenly he wants to change the world, just as soon as he shakes off his hangover.

 But George Bailey discovers that being young again is not all it is cracked up to be - and what he actually wants more than anything in the universe is to have his old life back.
