About the book
Isaac Newton kept a secret so dark, he took it to the grave. Now his secret is out… and people are dying.
Historian Trina Piper is called to the British Library to authenticate a manuscript that could change history—a document believed to have been penned by the legendary Isaac Newton. As she dives deeper into the text, the body count rises as an ancient threat plagues London once more.
When a mysterious scholar appears, determined to take the manuscript for himself, Trina considers it a minor annoyance… until she discovers the truth: he’s part of a shadowy Order bent on reviving forgotten magic for sinister purposes.
And now Trina is forced to confront questions her academic training can’t even fathom: Can science and magic coexist? Should they even try?
With the help of a handsome and resourceful Interpol agent, Trina must navigate a treacherous web of ancient secrets and deadly conspiracies, taking her from the fog-shrouded alleys of Westminster to the hallowed halls of Cambridge University. Buried within the pages of Newton’s cryptic work is the answer she seeks—if she can decipher its three-hundred year old message in time.
As Big Ben ticks down, Trina must reconcile two seemingly contradictory facts: not only was Sir Isaac Newton first among modern scientists, he was also the last of the medieval alchemists…
And his long-buried secret could spell the end for them all.

About the book
An FBI agent hunting a serial killer has to up his game when a trail of murders is not what it seems in a riveting thriller by Wall Street Journal bestselling author Steven Konkoly.
Five dismembered bodies are found along the roadside, dumped in the middle of nowhere. This isn’t new to Special Agent Garrett Mann. Head of ARTEMIS, a specialized FBI task force hell-bent on hunting down cartel-related killings in the Southwest, Mann has seen this before.

From a lakeside Minnesota mansion to an abandoned CIA black site in New Mexico, the hunt is on. But the closer Mann gets to his prey, the deadlier the stakes become. This is no ordinary serial killer. He’s not working alone—and the stakes go far beyond just preventing the serial killer’s next massacre. What Mann unravels is a powerful and far-reaching conspiracy beyond his wildest imagination.

“Two bodies. One male, approximately fifty years old. One female, mid-twenties. Both shot execution-style, with one bullet to the back of the head.”

To solve the case and catch the killer, Matthias and Emma will have to face their own demons. But what happens when the devil himself comes calling?

About the book
2025 EDGAR BEST FIRST NOVEL AWARD NOMINEE!
American Predator meets Harlan Coben in this taut, ticking-clock thriller in which women are being kidnapped and murdered in the dead of an Alaskan winter.
When the body of a barista is found in the once-pristine Alaskan snow, Anchorage homicide detective DeHavilland Beans is gutted to recognize the young woman, Jolene. He’d bought coffee from her every morning and knew her as a bright college student working her way through school. Devastated by the murder and by the life cut short, Beans vows to find the killer.
Since scavengers damaged the body, obtaining any usable evidence is impossible, even with the assistance of wildlife expert Raisa Ingalls, Beans’s ex. When the body of another woman is found, a serial killer is suspected and the FBI joins the hunt.
After a third body turns up, Beans is desperate to find the killer—especially when another woman goes missing. With the murderer moving so quickly, Beans and his team are determined to stop the spree and catch the killer before it's too late.

The Healer
Dystopian · Mystery
Our take
As Helsinki collapses under climate disaster, poet Tapani Lehtinen searches for his missing wife, whose investigation into a political killer hides secrets of her own. His hunt leads through a lawless city where survival and truth collide. With 4.1 stars on Amazon, strong Goodreads readership, and critical praise, this dystopian crime novel delivers tense, atmospheric suspense.
Choose your retailer
About the book
In this award-winning dystopian crime novel, one man searches for his missing wife in a futuristic Helsinki struggling with climate change.
It's two days before Christmas and Helsinki is battling a ruthless climate catastrophe: subway tunnels are flooded; abandoned vehicles are left burning in the streets; the authorities have issued warnings about malaria, tuberculosis, Ebola, and the plague. People are fleeing to the far north of Finland and Norway where conditions are still tolerable. Social order is crumbling, and private security firms have undermined the police force. Tapani Lehtinen, a struggling poet, is among the few still able and willing to live in the city.
When Tapani's beloved wife, Johanna, a newspaper journalist, goes missing, he embarks on a frantic hunt for her. Johanna's disappearance seems to be connected to a story she was researching about a politically motivated serial killer known as "The Healer." Desperate to find Johanna, Tapani's search leads him to uncover secrets from her past. Secrets that connect her to the very murders she was investigating . . .
The Healer is set in desperate times, forcing Tapani to take desperate measures in order to find his true love. Written in an engrossingly dense but minimal language, Antti Tuomainen's The Healer is a story of survival, loyalty, and determination. Even when the world is coming to an end, love and hope endure.
Praise for The Healer
"Tapani's amatuer sleuthing is all the more fascinating in light of the unimaginable barriers posed by the changing city, with inhabitants focused on their own survival. Readers attracted either to dystopian fiction or to Scandinavian crime will find gold here: Tuomainen's spare, nostalgic style emphasizes the definitive nature of climate catastrophe, where neither revolution nor cure offers respite." —Booklist (starred review)
