A shared interest in adrenaline, near-death experiences, and seemingly supernatural events reveals an intriguing possibility: that under the right conditions, someone could develop extraordinary abilities. But when their thesis moves from the academic to the experimental, things go horribly wrong.
Ten years later, Victor breaks out of prison, determined to catch up to his old friend (now foe), aided by a young girl with a stunning ability. Meanwhile, Eli is on a mission to eradicate every other super-powered person that he can find aside from his sidekick, an enigmatic woman with an unbreakable will. Armed with terrible power on both sides, driven by the memory of betrayal and loss, the arch-nemeses have set a course for revenge but who will be left alive at the end?

rampant. Is anyone safe? Is anyone innocent? A twisted serial
killer, dubbed the Fire and Brimstone killer, is loose in Dunmore,
Alabama, on a merciless revenge mission to punish priests who do

hiding to drive someone to perform such sacrilegious acts? When a
minister is doused in gasoline and brutally set alight on his own
doorstep, the religious community are left in shock and Cathy
Cantrell, widow to the killer's first victim, is left seriously
disturbed. Returning to Dunmore 18 months later to rebuild a
relationship with her son, the past comes back to haunt her when

won't stop until all sinners burn in hell...?
A new mystery from Randall Silvis, critically acclaimed master of
crime fiction When powerful men pull strings to get what they
want... someone almost always ends up dead There's not much that
would convince retired police sergeant Ryan DeMarco to take on
another private investigation case, but he can't refuse a
nine-year-old Michigan girl begging for help finding her biological
father. The road trip to the Upper Peninsula promises DeMarco and
his partner, Jayme, a chance to heal from their last case, which
ended in a traumatic brush with death for DeMarco. But things
aren't as they first appear in the woods of Michigan, and the
seemingly simple paternity investigation soon morphs into something
deadly. The deeper DeMarco, Jayme, and the rest of their team dig,
the more ugly truths they reveal, all while doing their best to
keep one member of their team, from falling prey to her own kind of
darkness. This investigation just might be the most emotionally
troubling one DeMarco and Jayme have yet encountered, for there are
plenty of people who will do whatever it takes to shut them down
before the truth comes to light. Acclaimed author Randall Silvis
expertly weaves a shocking tale of secrets and lies in When All
Light Fails, a suspense-fueled mystery that will leave readers
guessing until the very last page. "[a] chilly suspense novel."-The

Suspenseful and thrilling, Sunday Times bestselling author Jeffrey
Archer's Sons of Fortune is a powerful tale of twins separated by
fate and reunited by destiny. In the late 1940s in Hartford,
Connecticut, a set of twins is parted at birth. Nat Cartwright goes
home with his parents, a schoolteacher and an insurance salesman.
His twin brother is adopted and becomes Fletcher Davenport, the
only son of an American multi-millionaire and his society wife.
Unaware the other exists, the brothers grow up and follow different
paths, confronted by challenges and obstacles, tragedy and
heartache. Nat goes to Vietnam and returns a hero, whilst Fletcher
distinguishes himself as a criminal defence lawyer before embarking
on a political career. But when Nat enters politics and both decide
to run for governor, the brothers become unwitting rivals, setting
off a train of events that will either forge their bond or break it
forever . . . Absorbing and powerful, Archer's tale is as much a
chronicle of a nation in transition as the story of the making of
these two men - and how they eventually discover the truth-and its
tragic consequences. 'If there was a Nobel Prize for storytelling,
Archer would win' - Daily Telegraph

to a parallel world, Ryohei thinks all his wishes have come true.
But this new world isn't an empty paradise, it's a vicious game.
And the only way to survive is to play. The battle against the King
of Hearts continues as Arisu and his team struggle to make up for
their shocking point deficit. But no matter what strategy they try,
the king and his compatriots maintain the upper hand. When each

sacrifice, can Arisu and his team bear another loss to secure the
win?
A Financial Times Thriller of the Year Penal Colony No. 74, AKA
White Eagle, lies some 600 kilometres north of Yekaterinburg in
Russia's Sverdlovskaya Oblast. Imprisoning the country's most
brutal criminals, it is a winter-ravaged hellhole of death and
retribution. And that's exactly why the Englishman is there. Six
years ago, Raglan was a soldier in the French Foreign Legion
engaged in a hard-fought war on the desert border of Mali and
Algeria. Amid black ops teams and competing intelligence agencies,
his strike squad was compromised and Raglan himself severely
injured. His war was over, but the deadly aftermath of that day has
echoed around the world ever since: the assassination of four
Moscow CID officers; kidnap and murder on the suburban streets of
West London; the fatal compromise of a long-running MI6 operation.
Raglan can't avoid the shockwaves. This is personal. It is up to
him to finish it - and it ends in Russia's most notorious penal
colony. But how do you break into a high security prison in the
middle of nowhere? More importantly, how do you get out?

dies at her home in the sleepy, picturesque village of Bamburgh,

matter of it having been his wife who happened to find her body.
Then another body turns up amongst the sand dunes at the base of
the mighty castle fortress, and he decides it can't be a
coincidence... Meanwhile, after a recent revelation about her
sister, DC Melanie Yates' quest to avenge her death is becoming an
obsession-much to the concern of those around her. With a new DCS
to contend with and hundreds of cold case files to sift through,
the chances of uncovering a dormant killer seem unlikely. But as
Melanie delves deeper into the secrets of the past to uncover the
truth, she soon realises it lies much closer to home... Murder and
mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced
crime whodunnit, set amidst the spectacular Northumbrian landscape.
