Sowing the seeds for a deadly pact, inveterate traveller and international businessman Albert stumbles across a Javanese goddess, Devi, in the elegant tearoom of the American hotel in Amsterdam, one rainy afternoon. Facing impending mortality because of his age, Albert decides to speed up fate and commissions his own murder. Having tragically lost her son, and recently nursed her elderly mother, the beautiful Devi empathises with Albert's plight, and in the wake of his steadfast resolve becomes the "Applicant" to his execution job vacancy. As the consequences of Albert's macabre plan begin to pile up, his younger friend Casey is drawn into the fray, falling for the exotic would-be assassin and finding himself caught in the middle of this strange experiment. Posing profound philosophical questions of existence and destiny, The Applicant hurtles towards its tragic surprise denouement with skill and insight.

Budapest My Love by Anthony Steyning
Synopsis
The year is 1989. The cold War is over. The Iron Curtain lies in tatters and in Europe at least communism is taking its final bow. In the heart of London in a small cafe, Hungarian exile Tristan Szerei contemplates his future. Can he finally put his past behind him and return to Budapest or must he remain a prisoner to history? Enter Jonathan Blul, an American eye-doctor who is lovelorn, disheveled, opinionated and manipulative. This chance meeting begins a life-changing journey for both men - each leading to quite different consequences. The third component in an unholy trinity is Kay-Kay, a beautiful but enigmatic Cantonese club owner who is unable to trust or love. She is also exiled, in California, be it from a dark and oppressive family hold. Anthony Steyning joins these characters by circumstance, combining erudite grasp of the historical and political context of the times with a taut and gripping tale of love, loss and distant payback.

The Vortical Man by Pieter Anton van Westrenen
Synopsis
Don't come for me, he dreams of warning his small children, I'm swept away, the shores are yours...
You won't find a more honest experimental novel: the tale of a man digging into the deepest corners of his own psyche, questioning his motives, his assumptions, his praise, his condemnations, his dead-on assessments of life, his life, his family, his lover, his colleagues, the two cultures and the century in which he lives.
This is an extraordinary inner journey of a man living on a mountain in downtown Montreal, from where he's compelled to weigh all the joys and tragedies that came his way.
But is it a prelude to murder? Did he kill his boss, Mclean?
