About the book
In this thrilling mystery by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of First Lie Wins, five boys went hunting, but only four came back—and the evidence shows any one of them could be guilty.
Kate Marino's senior year internship at the District Attorney's Office isn't exactly glamorous—more like an excuse to leave school early that looks good on college applications. Then the DA hands her boss, Mr. Stone, the biggest case her small town of Belle Terre has ever seen. The River Point Boys are all anyone can talk about. Despite their damning toxicology reports the morning of the accident, the DA wants the boys' case swept under the rug. He owes his political office to their powerful families.
Kate won't let that happen. Digging up secrets without revealing her own is a dangerous line to walk; Kate has personal reasons for seeking justice. As she gets dangerously close to the truth, it becomes clear that the early morning accident might not have been an accident at all— if she doesn't uncover the true killer, more than one life could be on the line including her own.

Unfortunately, a short stop in the tiny Himalayan country of Balpur ends with his plane in flames and Drummond out of luck—until he's approached with a very strange offer.

What Drummond doesn't know is that the boy is no simple mercy case. He's precious cargo. And there are men on his trail who want him badly enough to kill. Now, as war rages around them with their enemies relentlessly on the hunt, only Drummond and his motley band can save an innocent child's life.

About the book
Five masked men seize a Washington bank. They steal nothing anyone can see. Then, without a word, they turn their guns on themselves.
From Wall Street Journal bestselling author L.T. Ryan and former detective Gregory Scott comes the explosive first Blake Brier techno-thriller.
Former CIA Spec Ops officer and computer genius Blake Brier has spent a decade trying to become ordinary. He writes code. Keeps his weapons locked away. And lives with the regret of pushing FBI agent Anja Kohler out of his life to protect her from the truth about who he was.
Now Anja is back—and she is hunting the meaning behind an impossible attack.
The dead gunmen have no fingerprints, no faces, and no identities. Their trail leads to a hacktivist movement transformed into a violent cult, while a stranger with frightening reach has emptied Blake’s bank accounts to force him into the hunt. Someone is hiding a much larger conspiracy behind the masks. And they know exactly who Blake still loves.
When the terrorists come for Anja, Blake’s last chance to repair the past becomes the one mission he cannot walk away from.
To expose the people pulling the strings, Blake must reunite the covert team he abandoned and return to a world of illegal surveillance, black operations, and lethal force. But the deeper he follows the digital trail, the harder it becomes to separate justice from vengeance—and the next attack could destroy far more than one bank.
They hid behind masks. Blake is coming to tear them off.
Unmasked launches the Blake Brier series with a high-velocity blend of techno-thriller, cybercrime, CIA action, financial conspiracy, elite-team camaraderie, and deeply personal revenge. Perfect for readers of David Baldacci’s Will Robie thrillers, Mark Greaney’s Gray Man series, and Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp novels.

About the book
"Sheer entertainment… Bennett infuses wit and an arch sensibility into her prose… This is not mere froth, it is pure confection." – New York Times Book Review
"[A] pitch-perfect murder mystery… If The Crown were crossed with Miss Marple…, the result would probably be something like this charming whodunnit." – Ruth Ware, author of One by One
The bestselling first book in a highly original and delightfully clever cozy mystery series in which Queen Elizabeth II secretly solves crimes while carrying out her royal duties.
It is the early spring of 2016 and Queen Elizabeth is at Windsor Castle in advance of her 90th birthday celebrations. But the preparations are interrupted by the shocking and untimely death of a guest in one of the Castle bedrooms. The scene leads some to think the young Russian pianist strangled himself, yet a badly tied knot leads MI5 to suspect foul play. When they begin to question the Household’s most loyal servants, Her Majesty knows they’re looking in the wrong place in this puzzling murder mystery.
For the Queen, an amateur sleuth since her teenage years as "Lilibet," has been living an extraordinary double life. Away from the public eye and unbeknownst to her closest friends and advisers, she has the most brilliant skill for solving crimes. With help from her Assistant Private Secretary, Rozie Oshodi, a British Nigerian officer recently appointed to the Royal Horse Artillery, the Queen discreetly begins making inquiries. As she carries out her royal duties with her usual aplomb, no one in the Royal Household, the government, or the public knows that the resolute Elizabeth won’t hesitate to use her keen eye, quick mind, and steady nerve to bring a murderer to justice.
SJ Bennett captures Queen Elizabeth’s voice with skill, nuance, wit, and genuine charm in this imaginative and engaging mystery that portrays Her Majesty as she’s rarely seen: kind yet worldly, decisive, shrewd, and, most important, a superb judge of character.

About the book
High among the Dolomite Mountains, a film crew led by a madman will risk their lives for Nazi gold, in this death-defying thriller.
Out of work, out of money, and out of time, Neil Blair is wandering through Piccadilly Circus when he stumbles upon the chance of a lifetime. He meets an old army buddy, a half–con man half-genius film producer, who offers him a job. Suddenly, Blair is off to the Dolomites for three months to work on the script for a film that will be unlike anything the cinema has ever seen: a thriller entirely based in truth, every word steeped in blood.
Ostensibly, the film is to be a skiing picture, but Blair soon learns there's much more at stake than a bit of sport. Beneath the mountain ice is a fortune in Nazi gold, which the producer will find—or die trying. Blair's task is to document that hunt on the page, but he's about to be trapped in a battle of wits that could destroy him before he types a single word.
Shot through with the atmospheric tension that was Hammond Innes's trademark, The Lonely Skier is a terrifying story of murder and deception at the edge of the world.

About the book
"The novel combines the mystery and honesty of Craig Johnson's Longmire with the first-person narration of a fiercely independent Oregon character." —Sheila Deeth, author of John's Joy
Winner of the 2018 Killer Nashville Readers' Choice Award
2017 Foreword Indies Finalist for Historical
A Korean War veteran, Ty Dawson finds refuge running his family's cattle ranch, the Diamond D, one of the largest in Oregon—and there's no place he'd rather be. But in 1973, the country falls into turmoil with the last soldiers returning from Vietnam, the stand-off at Wounded Knee, and the ongoing Watergate scandal. And it isn't long before Ty finds his own peace and quiet shattered by outside forces.
A string of mysterious cattle deaths leads to the murder of a cowhand, but that's just the beginning. News leaks that the Bureau of Land Management plans on a wild horse slaughter, which brings protestors and news cameras to the area, not to mention a violent biker gang known as the Charlatans. Overwhelmed, the sheriff appoints Ty as undersheriff. And as events spiral out of control, Ty must take matters into his own hands to protect his family, his land, and his way of life . . .
"A masterful work of a time gone by. Birtcher possesses a rare skill that is the envy of many a writer. He deftly employs literary prose to reveal the life of a hard-driven man. Ty Dawson is a cowboy, lawman, father and philosopher like none other." —Neal Griffin, Los Angeles Times–bestselling author of The Burden of Proof

Cornwall, 1910. On a remote tidal island, the Viscount of Tithe Hall is absorbed in feverish preparations for the apocalypse that he believes will accompany the passing of Halley's Comet. The Hall must be sealed from top to bottom—every window, chimney, and keyhole closed off before night falls.

Together, this mismatched duo must navigate secret passages, buried grudges, and rising terror to unmask the killer before it's too late...
