GENESIS
KARIN SLAUGHTER
Someone had spent time with her - someone well-practiced in the art of pain... Three years ago former Grant Country medical examiner Sara Linton moved to Atlanta hoping to leave her tragic past behind her. Now working at a doctor in Atlanta's Grady Hospital she is starting to piece her life together. But when a severely wounded young woman is brought in to the emergency room, she finds herself drawn back into a world of violence and terror. The woman has been hit by a car but it soon becomes clear that she has also been brutally attacked. Her body is covered in old bruises and blood, her face is clawed, there are tears in her skin as if hooks had been embedded in her flesh and a rib has been forcibly removed. When Special Agent Will Trent of the Criminal Investigation Team returns to the scene of the accident he stumbles on a torture chamber deep underground, and it becomes clear that Sara's patient is just the first victim of a sick, sadistic killer .

THE SLAP
CHRISTOS TSIOLKAS
At a suburban barbecue, a man slaps a child who is not his own. This event has a shocking ricochet effect on a group of people, mostly friends, who are directly or indirectly influenced by the event. In this remarkable novel, Christos Tsiolkas turns his unflinching and all-seeing eye on to that which connects us all: the modern family and domestic life in the twenty-first century. The Slap is told from the points of view of eight people who were present at the barbecue. The slap and its consequences force them all to question their own families and the way they live, their expectations, beliefs and desires. What unfolds is a powerful, haunting novel about love, sex and marriage, parenting and children, and the fury and intensity - all the passions and conflicting beliefs - that family can arouse. Prizes: Winner of Commonwealth Writers' Prize Best Book - SE Asia and South Pacific 2009 and Commonwealth Writers' Prize Overall Best Book 2009 and Nielsen BookData/ABA Book of the Year Award - Booksellers' Choice 2009. Shortlisted for Australian Literature Society Gold Medal 2009 and Miles Franklin Literary Award 2009 and ABIA Australian Literary Fiction Book of the Year 2009. Author Biography: Christos Tsiolkas is the author of three novels: Loaded, which was made into the feature film Head-On, The Jesus Man and Dead Europe, which won the 2006 Age Fiction Prize and the 2006 Melbourne Best Writing Award. He is also a playwright, essayist and screen writer. He lives in Melbourne.
