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.

investigation further. As snow covers the landscape and another
suspect goes missing, Jazz must also confront her personal demons .
. . Then, a particularly grim discovery at the school makes this
the most challenging murder investigation of her career. Because
Fleat House hides secrets darker than even Jazz could ever have
imagined . . .
When a small bone at the centre of a famous sculpture is revealed to be
human, three people become intimately connected by the secrets and lies
that put it there.

hours each day, and home to only one inhabitant, The Blue Hour asks
questions of ambition, power, art and perception.

Holly Gibney, one of Stephen King's most compelling and ingeniously
resourceful characters, returns in this thrilling novel to uncover the
gruesome truth behind multiple disappearances in a Midwestern town.
Bonnie Dahl is missing . . .
Holly Gibney of the Finders Keepers detective agency is meant to be on
leave. But she finds it impossible to turn down Bonnie's mother's
desperate request for help.
Then she discovers a single earring close to the location of Bonnie's
abandoned bike.
Mere blocks from where Bonnie Dahl disappeared live Professors Rodney
and Emily Harris. They are the picture of bourgeois respectability:
semi-retired lifelong academics. But they are harbouring a savage
secret in the basement of their book-lined home.
Now Holly must summon all her formidable talents if she is to uncover
the truth behind multiple disappearances in her Midwestern town.
When a ruthless killer seeks to overturn the world order, our only hope is vigilante justice.
Since Lamont Cranston - known to a select few as the Shadow - defeated Shiwan Khan and ended his reign of terror over New York one year ago, the city has started to regenerate. But there is evil brewing elsewhere. And this time the entire world is under threat.
Which is why Lamont has scoured the globe to assemble a team with unmatched talent. Only their combined powers can foil an enemy with ambitions and abilities beyond anyone's deepest fears.
As their mission takes them across the globe and into the highest corridors of power - pushing them beyond their limits - can justice prevail?

sweetheart Alexis (he refuses to call her Alex) is back in town,
and he can't help wanting to protect the woman he never stopped
loving. But as the danger mounts and the killer closes in, can
