Something scared Nuala Flaherty to death. When her body is found in
the centre of a pentagram on a lonely moor, Rebecca is determined
to find out what. Was she killed by supernatural means, or is there
a more down-to-earth explanation? Rebecca's investigation leads her
to a mysterious cult and local drug dealings. But what she doesn't
know is that crime matriarch Mo Burke still has her in her
crosshairs. Mo wants payback for the death of her son, and after
one failed attempt to hurt Rebecca, she is upping the ante. And
this time, it could be lethal.
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,

put him face to face with Marina's killer. Murder.com is the 8th
book in the Reuben Frost Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the

Lizzie Borden and Amanda Burton join forces with Dorothy Parker to
solve a grisly murder in Prohibition-era New York in this "assured
and witty" mystery (Publishers Weekly). Sixteen-year-old Amanda
Burton is thrilled to be spending the summer in New York City at
her glamorous uncle John's apartment in the Dakota while her
parents are off visiting Tibet. It's 1924, the decade is roaring,
and she's out on the town every night with her father's flamboyant
younger brother-seeing Broadway shows, going to fancy restaurants
and speakeasies, meeting John's rich and famous friends, and even
an occasional gangster. It's all great fun-until the morning she
stumbles upon her uncle dead on the floor with a hatchet blade
buried in his skull. And with Amanda as the prime murder suspect,
the New York City cops consider the case as good as closed. Luckily
the hapless teen has an old ally in town: the infamous-albeit
acquitted-alleged axe murderess Lizzie Borden. Miss Lizzie and her
new pal, the renowned acerbic wit Dorothy Parker, are on the job
faster than you can say, "Forty whacks." But trolling the
glittering New York night scene and underworld for a killer can be
a dangerous occupation for an old lady with a shady past, a
sharp-witted literary icon, and a teenager with a history of
violently losing relatives-especially when they keep turning up
dead bodies.

York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter, Recursion, and
Upgrade What's inside was a nightmare. What's outside is a thousand
times worse. Welcome to Wayward Pines, the last town. Secret
Service agent Ethan Burke arrived in Wayward Pines, Idaho, three
weeks ago. In this town, people are told who to marry, where to
live, where to work. No one is allowed to leave; even asking
questions can get you killed. But Ethan has discovered the

surrounds Wayward Pines and protects it from the terrifying world
beyond. And now that secret is about to come storming through the
fence to wipe out this last, fragile remnant of humanity. The Last
Town at last pitches Ethan Burke and his fellow residents into
all-out war against the forces outside the town's gates - and in
doing so delivers every bit the riotously horrific, breathlessly
action-packed conclusion that the Wayward Pines trilogy deserves.
