About the book
Lila Wilde is the queen of drama, and tonight she’s center stage. After a surprise proposal in a packed Thai nightclub, she invites a VIP entourage of influencers, celebrities, and party-crashers onto her private jet for the ultimate afterparty. But the champagne-fueled high crashes fast when the jet plummets into the jungle.
Trapped. Injured. Isolated.
What begins as a survival nightmare quickly spirals into a psychological warzone. With no rescue in sight, the party guests’ secrets start to surface—and the only thing more dangerous than the wild outside is the company within.
As alliances fracture and the fight for control intensifies, one thing becomes clear: in paradise, no one is safe.
Because some parties never end—they turn deadly.
And this one? This one’s going to kill someone.

About the book
When mild-mannered William Nye stumbles into espionage, he doesn't just play the game—he rewrites the rules.
Recruited by accident and promoted by misunderstanding, Nye is quickly christened Agent X: international spy extraordinaire (at least on paper). In truth, he knows nothing about espionage, but that doesn't stop him from bluffing his way through secret missions, dangerous double-crosses, and outlandish covert schemes.
In the hands of sci-fi satirist Robert Sheckley—praised as “a precursor to Douglas Adams”—this spy caper explodes with dry wit, absurd twists, and hilarious commentary on bureaucracy, bravado, and bumbling heroes.
Part James Bond spoof, part sci-fi send-up, The Game of X is a clever cold war romp for fans of madcap misadventures and genre-bending brilliance.

About the book
"A gripping tale that reads like a Sherlock Holmes novel set in a broken future...Turton is an exciting writer with a knack for strange tales that push the envelope, and this strange story of murder, survival, and the importance of memory might be his best work yet." —Gabino Iglesias for NPR
From the bestselling author of The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle and The Devil and the Dark Water comes an inventive, high-concept murder mystery: an ingenious puzzle, an extraordinary backdrop, and an audacious solution.
Solve the murder to save what's left of the world.
Outside the island there is nothing: the world was destroyed by a fog that swept the planet, killing anyone it touched.
On the island: it is idyllic. One hundred and twenty-two villagers and three scientists, living in peaceful harmony. The villagers are content to fish, farm and feast, to obey their nightly curfew, to do what they're told by the scientists.
Until, to the horror of the islanders, one of their beloved scientists is found brutally stabbed to death. And then they learn that the murder has triggered a lowering of the security system around the island, the only thing that was keeping the fog at bay. If the murder isn't solved within 107 hours, the fog will smother the island—and everyone on it.
But the security system has also wiped everyone's memories of exactly what happened the night before, which means that someone on the island is a murderer—and they don't even know it.
And the clock is ticking.

About the book
Her daughter, with emerald eyes and the sweetest smile, is everything to her. Her whole world. “Mommy,” the little girl says, touching her mother’s face with trembling fingers before she’s torn away. “Don’t cry.” Will she ever see her again?
When single mother Alison Nolan sets off with her six-year-old daughter, Hazel, she can’t wait to spend precious time with her girl. A vacation in Silent Lake, where snow-topped mountains are surrounded by the colors of fall, is just what they need. But hours later, Alison and Hazel vanish into thin air.
Detective Kay Sharp rushes to the scene. The only evidence that they were ever there is an abandoned rental car with a suitcase in the back, gummy bears in the open glove compartment and a teddy bear on the floor.
Kay’s mind spins. A week before, the body of another woman from out of town was found wrapped in a blanket, her hair braided and tied with feathers. Instinct tells her that the cases are connected––and it won’t be long until more innocent lives are lost.
As Kay leads a frenzied search, time is against her, but she vows that Alison and little Hazel will be found alive. She works around the clock, even though the small town is up in arms, saying she’s asking too many questions. Then she uncovers a vital clue – a photograph of the blanket that the first victim was buried in.
Just when Kay thinks she’s found the missing piece, she realises she’s being watched. Is she getting too close, or is her own past catching up with her?
With a little girl’s life on the line, Kay will stop at nothing. But will it be enough to get inside the mind of the most twisted killer she has ever encountered, or will another blameless child be taken?
A totally gripping and utterly pulse-pounding crime thriller series for readers who love Lisa Regan, Robert Dugoni and Kendra Elliot. This twist-packed page-turner gives “unputdownable” a whole new meaning!
