About the book
In a groundbreaking theatrical experience gone horribly wrong, a deadly night reveals the dark consequences of blurring the lines between performance and reality.
When Come Knocking came to Los Angeles, the interactive theater production that took over six floors of an abandoned building was met with raves, lines for tickets, and reviews calling it the “must-see experience of a generation”. After dozens of people were killed and hundreds injured during one bloody night of chaos during the show’s run, the nation was captured by one inescapable question: How could this happen?
As the dust settles, investigative reporter Adam Jakes is tasked with uncovering the truth behind the massacre. Through a series of gripping interviews with survivors, cast members, and witnesses, Jakes pieces together the chilling reality behind what was supposed to be the ultimate theatrical experience.
In Come Knocking, the enthralling and terrifying exploration of human nature under extreme conditions poses unsettling questions about the limits of immersive experiences and the true nature of reality.

About the book
Claire Matchett thought a week in the woods would save her marriage. Hiking. Hot tubs. A little peace away from the chaos of work and parenting. Instead, she finds herself sleeping on dirt and leaves, praying her family makes it out alive.
When her minivan breaks down on a deserted road with no cell signal, Claire and her friends decide to hike the rest of the way. But the forest is unforgiving, the paths impossible to follow, and night brings only terror.
One by one, members of the group fall, struck down in ways no one can explain. Maybe it’s an animal. Maybe it’s something worse.
Because the deeper they go, the clearer it becomes: someone isn’t leaving these woods alive.

In 1945, Japan buried mountains of stolen treasure in the Philippines, booby-trapped and hidden from the world. Two years later, the U.S. government quietly recovered some of it, stamped it classified, and fed it into the Black Eagle Trust. The world was never told.
Now, decades later, Cotton Malone stumbles into the shadow of that secret. What begins as a favor in Switzerland spirals into a deadly conflict between the CIA and the world’s oldest bank. The trail of deception stretches from Luxembourg’s vaults to Switzerland’s corridors of power and into the deadly heights of Morocco.
At the heart of it all stands a woman from Cotton’s past, and the truth she carries may ignite a global reckoning buried since World War II.

About the book
"The author’s research has captured the tension that those who lived through that time experienced at deep levels. Kelly Rimmer’s scenes in both eras are fraught with anxiety, urging the reader to keep turning the page, anxious to learn about each character’s experiences, right up to the very end." — New York Journal of Books
For fans of fast-paced historical thrillers like Our Woman in Moscow and The Rose Code, Kelly Rimmer’s dramatic new novel follows two female SOE operatives whose lives will be determined by a double agent in their midst.
Twenty-five years after the end of the war, Noah Ainsworth is still preoccupied with those perilous, exhilarating years as a British SOE operative in France. A head injury sustained on his final operation has caused frustrating gaps in his memory—in particular about the agent who saved his life during that mission gone wrong, whose real name he never knew, nor whether she even survived the war.
Moved by her father’s frustration, Noah’s daughter Charlotte begins a search for answers that resurrects the stories of Chloe and Fleur, the code names for two otherwise ordinary women whose lives intersect in 1943 when they’re called up by the SOE for deployment in France. Taking enormous risks to support the allied troops with very little information or resources, the women have no idea they’re at the mercy of a double agent among them who's causing chaos within the French circuits, whose efforts will affect the outcome of their lives…and the war.
But as Charlotte’s search for answers bears fruit, overlooked clues come to light about the identity of the double agent—with unsettling hints pointing close to home—and more shocking events are unearthed from the dangerous, dramatic last days of the war that lead to Chloe and Fleur’s eventual fates.

“A tightly spun debut that wrestles with many intense ideas and ends with a knife twist that will send readers racing back to the beginning again.” —ALA Booklist (starred review)
Orange Is the New Black meets Walter Dean Myers’s Monster in this gritty, twisty, and haunting story about a girl convicted of murder seeking the truth while surviving life in a group home, from New York Times bestselling author Tiffany D. Jackson.
Mary B. Addison killed a baby.
Allegedly. She didn’t say much in that first interview with detectives, and the media filled in the only blanks that mattered: A white baby had died while under the care of a churchgoing black woman and her nine-year-old daughter. The public convicted Mary and the jury made it official. But did she do it?
There wasn’t a point to setting the record straight before, but now she’s got Ted—and their unborn child—to think about. When the state threatens to take her baby, Mary’s fate now lies in the hands of the one person she distrusts the most: her Momma. No one knows the real Momma. But does anyone know the real Mary?
