Three Brothers by Peter Ackroyd, published by Chatto and Windus

Three Brothers follows the fortunes of Harry, Daniel and Sam Hanway, born on a post-war council estate in Camden Town. Marked out from the start by curious coincidence, each boy is forced to make his own way in the world - a world of dodgy deals and big business, of criminal gangs and crooked landlords, of newspaper magnates, back-biters and petty thieves.

The Shadow of the Crescent Moon by Fatima Bhutto, published by Viking

The story begins and ends one rain swept Friday morning in Mir Ali, a small town in Pakistan's Tribal Areas close to the Afghan border. Three brothers meet for breakfast. Soon after, the eldest, hails a taxi to the local mosque. The second, a doctor, goes to check in at his hospital. His troubled wife does not join the family that morning. And the youngest, the idealist, leaves for town on a motorbike. Three hours later their day will end in devastating circumstances.

The Spectre of Alexander Wolf by Gaito Gazdanov, published by Pushkin Press

It's a story that should not exist, and whose author can only be a dead man. So begins the strange quest for the elusive writer "Alexander Wolf". This is a psychological thriller and existential inquiry into guilt and redemption, coincidence and fate, love and death.
