A young woman recently relocated to a tiny Vermont logging
town, Lillian is menaced by a mysterious stalker named Blackway.
This one man--who kills her cat, forces her boyfriend to flee the
state in terror, and silently threatens her very existence--is a
force little understood by the local figures to whom she turns for
help. Yet, in this spare and powerful tale, Lillian enlists the
powerful brute Nate and the curmudgeonly Lester to take the fight
to her tormenter as a raggedy quartet of town elders ponders her
likely fate. With simple strength and extraordinary force, Go with
Me is a riveting modern fable of good provoked to resist evil.
One missing girl. Five bodies. Time is running out. When
nineteen-year-old university student Emma goes missing, Detective
Inspector Gareth Gravel is called in. But what is a simple missing
person case soon turns into something much darker as Gravel's
inquiries lead him to the graves of five young women - each of whom
looks just like Emma. With a serial killer on the loose and his
latest victim already in his control, can the police find Emma in
time? Or will Emma have to save herself? The Carmarthen Murders is
the first book in the dark, edge-of-your-seat Carmarthen Crime
thriller series set in the stunning West Wales countryside.
*Previously published as Portraits of the Dead*
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
about Owen Mullen: 'Owen Mullen knows how to ramp up the action
just when it's needed... he never fails to give you hard-hitting
thrillers that have moments that will stay with you forever...'
'One of the very best thriller writers I have ever read.' 'Owen
Mullen writes a good story, he really brings his characters to life
and the endings are hard to guess and never what you expected.'
A passenger train hurtling through the night. An unwed teenage
mother headed to Moscow to seek a new life. A cruel-hearted soldier
looking furtively, forcibly, for sex. An infant disappearing
without a trace.
So begins Martin Cruz Smith's masterful "Three Stations," a
suspenseful, intricately constructed novel featuring Investigator
Arkady Renko. For the last three decades, beginning with the
trailblazing "Gorky Park," Renko (and Smith) have captivated
readers with detective tales set in Russia. Renko is the ironic,
brilliantly observant cop who finds solutions to heinous crimes
when other lawmen refuse to even acknowledge that crimes have
occurred. He uses his biting humor and intuitive leaps to fight not
only wrongdoers but the corrupt state apparatus as well.
In "Three Stations," Renko's skills are put to their most severe
test. Though he has been technically suspended from the
prosecutor's office for once again turning up unpleasant truths, he
strives to solve a last case: the death of an elegant young woman
whose body is found in a construction trailer on the perimeter of
Moscow's main rail hub. It looks like a simple drug overdose to
everyone--except to Renko, whose examination of the crime scene
turns up some inexplicable clues, most notably an invitation to
Russia's premier charity ball, the billionaires' Nijinksy Fair.
Thus a sordid death becomes interwoven with the lifestyles of
Moscow's rich and famous, many of whom are clinging to their cash
in the face of Putin's crackdown on the very oligarchs who placed
him in power.
Renko uncovers a web of death, money, madness and a kidnapping that
threatens the woman he is coming to love and the lives of children
he is desperate to protect. In "Three Stations," Smith produces a
complex and haunting vision of an emergent Russia's secret
underclass of street urchins, greedy thugs and a bureaucracy still
paralyzed by power and fear.
