'a tour de force work of art' - The Wall Street Journal, Best Books
of the Year Longlisted for the 2022 CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger
Award It's Saturday evening, 9 March 1566, and Mary, Queen of
Scots, is six months pregnant. She's hosting a supper party, secure
in her private chambers. She doesn't know that her Palace is
surrounded - that, right now, an army of men is creeping upstairs
to her chamber. They're coming to murder David Rizzio, her friend
and secretary, the handsome Italian man who is smiling across the
table at her. Mary's husband, Lord Darnley, wants it done in front
of her and he wants her to watch it done ... Denise Mina
brilliantly portrays the sexual dynamics and politics of power -
between men and women, monarch and subjects, master and servants.
The period is masterfully researched yet lightly drawn, the
characterisation quick, subtle and utterly convincing. This
breathtakingly tense work is a tale of sex, secrets and lies, one
that explores the lengths that men - and women - will go to in the
search for love and power.

NO ONE IS SAFE FROM THE SERIAL KILLER
NOT EVEN SCARPETTA…
During the early hours of Christmas morning, chief medical
examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta receives a chilling call. The Phantom
Slasher has struck again.
The serial killer has terrorized Northern Virginia for months. His
pattern is to stalk with a sophisticated technology that enables him to
invade his victims' homes and watch their every move. They wake up to a
ghost-like hologram before being murdered in their beds.
Scarpetta is summoned to Mercy Island, the site of a
notorious psychiatric hospital where two people have been brutalized,
one of them from Scarpetta’s past. It soon becomes apparent that
she could be next…
When the Buckeye City Police Department receives a disturbing letter
from a person threatening to 'kill thirteen innocents and one guilty'
in 'an act of atonement for the needless death of an innocent man',
Detective Izzy Jaynes has no idea what to think. Are fourteen citizens
about to be slaughtered in an unhinged act of retribution? As the
investigation unfolds, Izzy realises that the letter writer is deadly
serious, and she turns to her friend Holly Gibney for help.
Meanwhile, controversial and outspoken women's rights activist Kate
McKay is embarking on a multi-state lecture tour, drawing packed venues
of both fans and detractors. Someone who vehemently opposes Kate's
message of female empowerment is targeting her and disrupting her
events. At first, no one is hurt, but the stalker is growing bolder,
and Holly is hired to be Kate's bodyguard - a challenging task with a
headstrong employer and a determined adversary driven by wrath and
unhinged righteousness.
Featuring a riveting cast of characters both old and new, including
world-famous gospel singer Sista Bessie and an unforgettable villain
addicted to murder, these twinned narratives converge in a chilling and
spectacular conclusion - a feat of storytelling only Stephen King could
pull off.
A prequel to the original Hunger Games trilogy, that explores the origins of a young Coriolanus Snow and his mentor-tribute relationship with Lucy Gray Baird during the 10th Hunger Games.
It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth annual Hunger Games. In the Capital, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games. The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuver his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute.
The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined -- every choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favor or failure, triumph or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death.
Outside the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute... and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire to survive no matter what it takes.
In many ways, the brothers Carl and Roy Opgard have succeeded in life.
Or at least they’ve had as much success as is possible in a small town
like Os where they've had to kill their way to the top. Carl manages
the area’s swanky spa hotel, while Roy has made ambitious plans for an
amusement park complete with a roller coaster.
The only way is up for the two brothers. Unless the local sheriff can
bring them down.
The sheriff believes he has new evidence that will prove the brothers
involvement in several past murders, but Carl and Roy Opgard are used
to covering their tracks, and they're not afraid to get their hands
dirty.
The high body count of Os is about to get higher.
Blood Ties is a grandiose and explosive suspense novel about loyalty,
family ties, consuming love, and the fight against powerful forces. It
will transport you to a community in crisis and tell the story of two
brothers on the verge of losing all that they’ve fought for.
A murderer, a victim, and a witness... but no one in this house is
innocent Twenty years ago an unspeakable tragedy rocked Rose
Yates's small, affluent hometown... and only Rose and her family
know the truth about what happened. Haunted by guilt, Rose escaped
into a new life. Now she seems to have it all: a marriage, a son, a
career. And then her husband is found dead. As far as Detective
Colin Pearson is concerned, Rose is guilty. Her marriage wasn't as
happy as she'd led everyone to believe, and worse, she's connected
to a twenty-year-old cold case. She can play the part of the
victim, but he won't let her or her family escape justice this time
around. Grieving her husband and struggling to make ends meet, Rose
returns home, hoping to finally confront her domineering father and
unstable sister. But memories of a horrific crime echo through the
house, and Rose soon learns that she can't trust anyone, especially
not the people closest to her. From USA Today bestselling author
Carter Wilson comes a story of deception, hereditary sin, and what
we'll do to protect our own.
