NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE
The brilliant and chilling first novel Stephen King ever wrote tells
the tale of the contestants of a diabolically cruel competition where
100 boys start the “long walk” and there is only one winner—the one
that survives.
In a dystopian near-future, America has fallen on hard times.
Sixteen-year-old Ray Garraty is about to compete in the annual grueling
match of stamina and wits known as the Long Walk. One hundred boys must
keep a steady pace of four miles per hour day and night, without ever
stopping. The winner gets “The Prize”—anything he wants for the rest of
his life. But the rules of the Long Walk are harsh and the stakes could
not be higher. There is no finish line—the winner is the last man
standing. Contestants cannot receive any outside aid whatsoever. Slow
down under the speed limit and you’re given a warning. Three warnings
and you’re out of the game—forever.
Written by King when he was a college student and published in 1979
under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, The Long Walk is an unforgettable
and timeless masterpiece that showcases King’s genius for character
building and his visionary storytelling.

The brand-new historical novel based on a true story from the
bestselling author of The Rose Code and The Alice Network.
In the snowbound city of Kiev, aspiring historian Mila Pavlichenko's life revolves around her young son - until Hitler's invasion of Russia changes everything. Suddenly, she and her friends must take up arms to save their country from the Fuhrer's destruction. Handed a rifle, Mila discovers a gift - and months of blood, sweat and tears turn the young woman into a deadly sniper: the most lethal hunter of Nazis. Yet success is bittersweet.
Mila is torn from the battlefields of the eastern front and sent to America while the war still rages. There, she finds an unexpected ally in First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, and an unexpected promise of a different future. But when an old enemy from Mila's past joins forces with a terrifying new foe, she finds herself in the deadliest duel of her life.
The Diamond Eye is a haunting novel of heroism born of desperation, of a mother who became a soldier, of a woman who found her place in the world and changed the course of history forever.
Family first. Family last. The Glass family always... Charley Glass
arrived in her family's lives like the hurricane she'd escaped. But
she hadn't run far enough: the ruthless Giordano family are on her
tail and want two things - her life, and the return of the property
she stole from them. No matter how many bodies stack up. After
years of hoping, Charley finally has the family she's always
wanted, but now she's going to have to tell them the real reason
she came looking for them. There is only one way she's going to
stay alive, and that is to employ the muscle of the notorious Glass
Family. The head of the family, Luke, isn't sure they're strong
enough to take on one of New Orleans' biggest crime gangs. But he'd
put his life on the line to protect the empire they've built - even
if they'll have to take on an enemy hurting enough to cross an
ocean for revenge. Page-turning, gritty, and utterly compelling,
Thief is Owen Mullen's best book yet. Perfect for fans of Martina
Cole, Kimberley Chambers and Mandasue Heller. What readers say
