She just wanted to grow her weird, glowing plants in peace. But in the city of Strange-a seaside town with more secrets than seagulls-peace is in short supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSal cultivates Tinker, a rare, memory-meddling plant grown for Public Unrest: a secretive, enchantment-fuelled crime syndicate hidden beneath the city. Its network is everywhere-through laundrette spin cycles, bakery ovens, and broom cupboards in takeaway shops-and it runs on a potent mix of magic, tech, and ruthless charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo the outside world, Sal is just another StrangeEats delivery rider. But underground, she's Fix: the Orchard Manager, growing the most valuable (and volatile) product in the Family's supply chain. She's protected, surveilled, and suspiciously well-treated. Which means she's either very important-or dangerously expendable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a turf war brews and Sal's chosen family-her girlfriend Lucy and her flatmate Matti-get tangled in the fallout, she's forced to confront how deep she's in and who's really calling the shots. Is she building something worthwhile or just tending the roots of a new kind of cult?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet in a world where spells are bought online and secret doorways open through household appliances, The Strangest Criminals is a sharp, funny, and subversive crime fantasy about loyalty, found family, and the cost of choosing the wrong kind of magic. Perfect for fans of Neverwhere, Rivers of London, and The Thursday Murder Club-with a rebellious heart and a criminally good sense of humour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ Thistle \u0026amp; Rune\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication date ‏ : ‎ 18 July 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎ English\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePrint length ‏ : ‎ 578 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 1764126505\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-1764126502\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eItem weight ‏ : ‎ 762 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎ 15.24 x 3.68 x 22.86 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake Polden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45015277174945,"sku":"thescbp25","price":32.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/4030\/8129\/files\/1E913774-A5AF-4AC6-B4B1-910AFF50339C.jpg?v=1753514897"},{"product_id":"sunnywood-house-by-blake-polden","title":"Sunnywood House By Blake Polden","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"14\"\u003eRetired adventurers, a cursed debt and one last stand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"14\"\u003eSunnywood House was supposed to be a quiet retirement home for adventurers past their prime — a place to rest weary bones, swap old stories, and stay well out of trouble.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"14\"\u003eTrouble, unfortunately, has other plans.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"14\"\u003eWhen a cursed debt brings dark magic, mysterious enforcers, and an alarming number of undead rabbits to their doorstep, a stubborn group of ageing heroes find their home under threat.
