How can a man who’s already dead be wanted for murder?
This is the question sports agent Myron Bolitar asks himself when two
FBI agents visit him in New York.
The man they are looking for is Myron’s former client and rival, Greg
Downing. Greg’s DNA has been found at the scene of a high-profile
double murder, and he is now the FBI’s main suspect.
But Greg died three years previously, Myron says. He went to his
funeral and gave the eulogy.
The FBI are disbelieving, and Myron knows he has to find some answers –
and quickly.
Could Greg Downing still be alive?
The more Myron and his close friend Win dig into what really happened,
the more dangerous their world becomes . . .
Secrets, lies and a murderous conspiracy that stretches back into the
past lie at the heart of Harlan Coben’s blistering new thriller.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Last Flight comes
a twisted con-woman thriller about two women out for revenge-or is
it justice? Two women. Many aliases. Meg Williams. Maggie
Littleton. Melody Wilde. Different names for the same person,
depending on the town, depending on the job. She's a con artist who
erases herself to become whoever you need her to be-a college
student. A life coach. A real estate agent. Nothing about her is
real. She slides alongside you and tells you exactly what you need
to hear, and by the time she's done, you've likely lost everything.
Kat Roberts has been waiting ten years for the woman who upended
her life to return. And now that she has, Kat is determined to be
the one to expose her. But as the two women grow closer, Kat's
long-held assumptions begin to crumble, leaving Kat to wonder who
Meg's true target is. The Lies I Tell is a twisted domestic
thriller that dives deep into the psyches and motivations of two
women and their unwavering quest to seek justice for the past and
rewrite the future. Praise for The Last Flight by Julie Clark:
"Thoroughly absorbing...the characters get under your skin." -The
New York Times "Highly thrilling." -Entertainment Weekly "You won't
be able to put it down." -People.com

From Sunday Times bestselling author Freida McFadden comes a dark,
twisting thriller about a group of friends lost in the woods: one by
one, they each will fall, and only the killer will return home alive...
A night spent sleeping on dirt and leaves is not how Claire Matchett
expected to spend her vacation. She thought this would be a break from
the stresses of work and raising her young children. A chance to repair
her damaged marriage. A week of hiking and hot tubs with friends. It
sounded like heaven.
Then Claire's minivan breaks down on a lonely dirt road. With no cell
reception, the group has no choice but to hike the rest of the way to
their hotel. But it turns out the woods aren't as easy to navigate as
they thought. Hours later, they are lost. Hopelessly lost.
And as they navigate deeper into the woods, the members of their party
are struck down mysteriously one by one. Has a wild animal been hunting
them? Or is the hunter one of them?
But as more time passes, one thing becomes clear: Only one of them will
return home alive.
Struggling with integrating back into society after escaping her captor after five years of torture, sexual abuse as well as prostitution, Minenhle finds herself turning against the people who love her the most.
Haunted by dreams and memories of her torture and torment she turns to illegal substances in order to try and deal with the pain.
She could be anyone. She could be you.
Nobody ever found out what happened to Laika Martenwood, the girl who
vanished without a trace on her way to school one morning. But for her
sister Willa, life shattered into tiny pieces that day, and she has
never been able to put them back together again.
Willa sees Laika everywhere: on buses, at parties, in busy streets.
It’s been twenty-five years, and the only thing that has kept her going
is her belief that her sister is alive, somewhere.
But when a dinner party conversation about childhood memories spirals
out of control, a shattering revelation from one of the guests forces
Willa to rethink everything she thought she knew about her past. And,
out of the debris of that explosive evening, the truth of what really
happened begins to emerge. Piece by piece.
A vivid and immersive story of obsession perfect for fans of dark
academia and Donna Tartt's The Secret History Oliver Marks has just
served ten years for the murder of one of his closest friends - a
murder he may or may not have committed. On the day he's released,
he's greeted by the detective who put him in prison. Detective
Colborne is retiring, but before he does, he wants to know what
really happened ten years ago. As a young actor studying
Shakespeare at an elite arts conservatory, Oliver noticed that his
talented classmates seem to play the same roles onstage and off -
villain, hero, tyrant, temptress - though Oliver felt doomed to
always be a secondary character in someone else's story. But when
the teachers change up the casting, a good-natured rivalry turns
ugly, and the plays spill dangerously over into life. When tragedy
strikes, one of the seven friends is found dead. The rest face
their greatest acting challenge yet: convincing the police, and
themselves, that they are blameless.
DISCOVER THE LATEST DIRK PITT ADVENTURE. From the shadow of war comes
an enduring historical mystery - and a present-day plot of destruction

their city, the chief curator of the Musee de l'Armee is ordered to
take a mysterious piece of cargo out of the country. But when he learns
his intended ship has been sunk, the fate of his cargo must rest on a
decrepit steamer, sailing out under German fire. . .
Decades later, a diving expedition in the English Channel leads
Director Dirk Pitt to a cache of uncut diamonds on a shipwreck. No
sooner than they are discovered, the diamonds are stolen!
Pitt and the NUMA agency now find they must face a murderous cabal with
far more destructive plans than mere theft. Vital water treatment
facilities around the globe are being targeted - placing the world's
population in grave peril.
From the shadow of the Eiffel Tower to the islands of the Caribbean,
only Dirk Pitt and his children, Summer and Dirk Jr., can locate the
treasure that will save the world from catastrophe.
It’s time to put the guns down, Detective Cross. Even if you knew the
way out of this place, we would catch you.
A serial killer is taking out America’s finest legals minds, and Alex
Cross is called to investigate their brutal murders.
But during a dangerous mission to track down the killer, his wife,
Bree, and best friend, John Sampson, go missing.
To save the people he loves most, Cross has only three goals:
Number one: Find Bree and John.

If he fails, there will be no one left in the House of Cross.
