The twenty-first book in the hugely popular Peter Decker and Rina
Lazarus series from New York Times bestselling author Faye
Kellerman LAPD Detective Peter Decker is about to face a case that
will push him to the limit... Residents in a local building have
been complaining of a smell coming from an apartment rented by the
eccentric inventor Hobart Penny. Nearly ninety-years-old, and a
hermit for the last 25 years, it is not surprising that the
reclusive genius has died without anyone's knowledge. However, as
Decker steps inside, it's clear that Penny has died from anything
but natural causes... Penny's children describe their father as a
cruel and vindictive man. His second wife knew a man with strange
sexual appetites, while the owner of a Californian animal charity
speaks only of a kind-hearted old man. But further searches not
only add to the list of suspects, but find evidence of a disturbed,
depraved mind. So just who was Hobart Penny? A brilliant inventor,
a generous philanthropist or a callous killer?

From Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, the authors of the top ten
bestseller The Wife Between Us and An Anonymous Girl, comes The
Golden Couple - a compelling page-turner that will keep you
guessing to the very end. If Avery Chambers can't fix you in ten
sessions, she won't take you on as a client. She helps people
overcome everything, from domineering parents to assault. Her
successes almost help her absorb the emptiness she feels since her
husband's death. Marissa and Mathew Bishop seem like the golden
couple, until Marissa cheats. She wants to repair things, both
because she loves her husband and for the sake of their 8-year-old
son. After a friend forwards an article about Avery, Marissa takes
a chance on this maverick therapist, who lost her license due to
controversial methods. When the Bishops glide through Avery's door
and Marissa reveals her infidelity, all three are set on a
collision course. Because the biggest secrets in the room are still
hidden, and it's no longer simply a marriage that's in danger.

The Black Mountain is a Quick Read short story from bestselling
author Kate Mosse. It is May, 1706. Ana, a young Spanish woman,
lives in a small town on the north-west coast of Tenerife with her
mother and twin younger brothers. The town is in the shadow of a
mighty volcano, which legend says has the devil living inside it.
However, there has been no eruption for thousands of years and no
one believes it is a threat. One day, Ana notices that the air
feels strange and heavy, that the birds have stopped singing.
Tending the family vineyard, a sudden strange tremor in the earth
frightens her. Very soon it will be a race against time for Ana to
help persuade the town that they are in danger and should flee
before the volcano erupts and destroys their world. Will they
listen? And Ana herself faces another danger . . .

officers, led by Detective Inspector Laura Kesey, investigate his
disappearance. But will they find him before it's too late?
