The Girl on the Stairs – Louise Welsh

Jane Logan is six months pregnant and has moved to Berlin to live with her long-term lover, rich banker, Petra. The women’s chic new apartment is in a trendy part of the city but Jane finds herself increasingly uneasy there. She conceives a dread of the derelict back house across the courtyard and begins to suspect something sinister is happening in the flat next door, where gynecologist Alban Mann lives with his teenage daughter Anna. Petra believes her lover’s pregnancy is affecting her judgement, butt Jane is increasingly convinced that all is not well. Her decision to turn detective has devastating results when her own past collides with the past of the building and its inhabitants.

Justice League: Wild at Heart – Louise Simonson

Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, The Flash, Martian Manhunter… They are the Justice League — seven super heroes working together to save the world. The only way Mongul can regain the crown of War World is to fight Superman again – and win. So he dispatches the bounty hunter Lobo to Earth to bring the Man of Steel back. Lobo finds Superman, and after they’ve fought to a stand-off, he holds up a remote control and tells Superman that he’s hidden a thermonuclear device somewhere on Earth. Unless Superman goes with him, the planet will be dust. Superman surrenders and accompanies Lobo on an interstellar law-breaking spree, to the confusion of the rest of the Justice League. But Superman has a plan.
Superman always has a plan….
