A brilliant new series from the number one global thriller writer, John Grisham.
SOMEONE IS ABOUT TO MAKE A KILLING …
The most daring and devastating heist in literary history targets a high security vault located deep beneath Princeton University.
Valued at $25 million (though some would say priceless) the five manuscripts of F Scott Fitzgerald’s only novels are amongst the most valuable in the world. After an initial flurry of arrests, both they and the ruthless gang of thieves who took them have vanished without trace.
Now it falls to struggling writer Mercer Mann to crack a case that has thwarted the FBI’s finest minds.

‘This is the book I’ve been waiting for – for years. It’s personal, historical, political, and it speaks to where we are now’ Benjamin Zephaniah
‘I recommend Natives to everyone’ Candice Carty-Williams
From the first time he was stopped and searched as a child, to the day he realised his mum was white, to his first encounters with racist teachers – race and class have shaped Akala’s life and outlook. In this unique book he takes his own experiences and widens them out to look at the social, historical and political factors that have left us where we are today.
Covering everything from the police, education and identity to politics, sexual objectification and the far right, Natives speaks directly to British denial and squeamishness when it comes to confronting issues of race and class that are at the heart of the legacy of Britain’s racialised empire.
Natives is the searing modern polemic and Sunday Times bestseller from the BAFTA and MOBO award-winning musician and political commentator, Akala.
‘The kind of disruptive, aggressive intellect that a new generation is closely watching’ Afua Hirsch, Observer
‘Part biography, part polemic, this powerful, wide-ranging study picks apart the British myth of meritocracy’ David Olusoga, Guardian
‘Inspiring’ Madani Younis, Guardian
‘Lucid, wide-ranging’ John Kerrigan, TLS
‘A potent combination of autobiography and political history which holds up a mirror to contemporary Britain’ Independent
‘Trenchant and highly persuasive’ Metro
‘A history lesson of the kind you should get in school but don’t’ Stylist

I was not born with an opinion of the world but it clearly seemed that the world had an opinion of people like me.
I did not know what race and class supposedly were but the world taught me very quickly.
I did not particularly want to spend a portion of a lifetime studying these issues, it was not among my ambitions as a child, but I was compelled upon this path very early.
I knew that my experiences were significant but I was not yet sure how to tease meaning from them.
