About the book
Greed, corruption, and betrayal—no murder is as simple as it seems
When a prominent Sacramento businessman is killed and his wife injured in a brutal home invasion, Detective Emily Hunter and her partner, Javier Medina, are called to investigate. At first glance, it seems like a crime of opportunity gone horribly wrong, but Emily soon finds there might be more to both the crime and the dead man.
The high-stakes investigation also comes at a time when Emily is caring for her mother, who has early-onset Alzheimer's, and Emily struggles to balance her job with her personal life. The city's political elite seem to want the case solved quickly, but darker forces want it buried.
Could there have been a motive behind the attack, making it more than a random home invasion? Emily uncovers clues that cause her to reconsider her understanding of the crime. A deadly game of greed and deception pulls Emily deeper into the shadowy world of gang violence and retribution. She has to walk the razor's edge to identify the killer—without becoming the next victim.

About the book
A case of corporate espionage forces a psychic detective to go on the run in this action-thriller for fans of James Rollins, Brad Thor & Douglas Preston.
"Part James Bond, part Jason Bourne, part Professor X, only smarter, wittier, and can run faster. Adrenaline action at its mind-reading best. Christopher Farnsworth's Killfile unleashes the greatest weapon ever: the human mind." —Beau Smith, creator/writer of Wynonna Earp
John Smith has a special gift that seems more like a curse: he can access other people's thoughts. He hears the songs stuck in their heads, knows their most private traumas and fears, and relives the painful memories they can't let go of. The CIA honed his skills until he was one of their most powerful operatives, but John fled the Agency and now works as a private consultant, trying to keep the dark potential of his gift in check—and himself out of trouble.
Unfortunately, John is unexpectedly plunged into dangerous waters when his latest client, billionaire software genius Everett Sloan, hires him to investigate a former employee—a tech whiz kid named Eli Preston—and search his thoughts for some very valuable intellectual property he's stolen. Before John can probe Preston's mind, however, his identity is compromised and he's on the run for his life, with Sloan's young associate, Kelsey.
Hunted by shadowy enemies with extensive resources and unknown motives, John and Kelsey must go off the grid. John knows their only hope for survival is his powers, and he'll have to use them to their fullest—even if it means putting his own sanity at risk.

Choose your retailer
About the book
A gunrunner's hunt for a fortune leads to a life-and-death struggle in Communist China in New York Times–bestselling author Jack Higgins's very first novel.
Mark Hagen is a far cry from the man he once was as a naval officer in World War II. Broken down and drunk, he's been reduced to living outside the law, gunrunning and smuggling with his dilapidated boat.
Then he rescues a woman from attackers in Macao. She's alone, she needs help—and she claims to know the whereabouts of a quarter-million dollars in gold, lying in a scuttled craft at the bottom of a lagoon in the blighted marshlands of southern China. With this one quick score, Hagen could change his luck for good.
Unfortunately, he's not the only one looking for the gold. There's the Chinese. And the Russians. And so many others.
But there's only one Mark Hagen—and he's not about to give up easily . . .
Originally published in 1963 under the name Harry Patterson, Sad Wind from the Sea is a searing debut set in the dangerous criminal underworld of the Pacific Rim, a gripping read that showcases the talents of a young writer whom Tom Clancy would one day hail as "the master."

'A stunning new episode of the powerful Six Stories series. A masterful storyteller, Matt Wesolowski is my go-to writer for literary horror' C J Cooke, author of The Lighthouse Witches
In 1995, the picture-perfect village of Ussalthwaite was the site of one of the most heinous crimes imaginable, in a case that shocked the world.
Twelve-year-old Sidney Parsons was murdered by two boys his own age. No reason was ever given for this terrible crime, and the 'Demonic Duo' who killed him were imprisoned until their release in 2002, when they were given new identities and lifetime anonymity.
Elusive online journalist Scott King investigates the lead-up and aftermath of the killing, uncovering dark stories of demonic possession, and encountering a village torn apart by this unspeakable act.
And, as episodes of his Six Stories podcast begin to air, and King himself becomes a target of media scrutiny and public outrage, it becomes clear that whatever drove those two boys to kill is still there, lurking, and the campaign of horror has just begun...

Model Home
Horror · Mystery · Thriller
Our take
Model Home opens with a house that never felt safe, even when it promised belonging. After their parents die under suspicious circumstances, the Maxwell siblings return to the Texas enclave where they were the only Black family and where unexplainable horrors once took root. As past and present collide, this literary haunted-house novel confronts grief, racism, and the lingering question of whether the true evil was ever supernatural.

About the book
LOCUS AWARD FINALIST
Welcome to Rivers Solomon’s dark and wondrous Model Home, a new kind of haunted-house novel.
The three Maxwell siblings keep their distance from the lily-white gated enclave outside Dallas where they grew up. When their family moved there, they were the only Black family in the neighborhood. The neighbors acted nice enough, but right away bad things, scary things—the strange and the unexplainable—began to happen in their house. Maybe it was some cosmic trial, a demonic rite of passage into the upper-middle class. Whatever it was, the Maxwells, steered by their formidable mother, stayed put, unwilling to abandon their home, terrors and trauma be damned.
As adults, the siblings could finally get away from the horrors of home, leaving their parents all alone in the house. But when news of their parents' death arrives, Ezri is forced to return to Texas with their sisters, Eve and Emanuelle, to reckon with their family’s past and present, and to find out what happened while they were away. It was not a “natural” death for their parents . . . but was it supernatural?
Rivers Solomon turns the haunted-house story on its head, unearthing the dark legacies of segregation and racism in the suburban American South. Unbridled, raw, and daring, Model Home is the story of secret histories uncovered, and of a queer family battling for their right to live, grieve, and heal amid the terrors of contemporary American life.

About the book
The critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling Tom Marlowe series returns!
They tried to bury the past. Now the past is burying them.
Tom Marlowe's partner Trix Preston hasn't mentioned Operation CASTLE ROCK in five years. She doesn't need to – it was pre-MI5 hacking work, corporate espionage to pay off a debt, nothing worth remembering.
Until three GCHQ analysts connected to CASTLE ROCK turn up dead across Europe, one every seventy-two hours.
Someone is eliminating everyone who knew about the operation – a five-year-old MI5 project buried in Edinburgh's financial district where British Intelligence's black budget meets corporate fraud.
Trix's name is on the list.
The assassin is already in Scotland.
And with the pattern holding, she has three days before the killer comes for her, and the only person who knows why someone inside MI5 would want CASTLE ROCK erased is a ghost from Trix's past who shouldn't still be breathing.
Now Marlowe must protect his partner while hunting for files that prove who sold out CASTLE ROCK five years ago. But in Edinburgh's shadows, the deeper he digs, the more he realizes the woman who taught Trix to survive might be the same one trying to get her killed.
Some secrets stay buried in ledgers. Others stay buried in bodies.
And in Edinburgh, they're burning both.
The eleventh book in the critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling series of Tom Marlowe thrillers, written by New York Times #1 Bestseller Tony Lee writing as Jack Gatland, Burning Ledgers is perfect for fans of the Bourne movies, Burn Notice, Mission Impossible, Slow Horses, Jack Ryan, James Patterson, Mark Dawson, Lee Child, Mick Herron and Robert Ludlum, among others.
