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.'

'No other thriller writer can make you break into a sweat and break
your heart at the same time' THE TIMES Leyli Maal is a beautiful
Malian woman, mother of three, living in a tiny apartment on the
outskirts of Marseille. Her quiet life as a well-integrated
immigrant is suddenly shaken when her beautiful eldest daughter,
Bamby, becomes the main suspect in two murders linked to a lethal
illegal immigration racket. Is Bamby really involved? And why is
everyone desperate to get their hands on Leyli's mysterious red
notebook?
It's a year and a half after the events of "Anarchy," and the world
is alive with magic.
On a tiny archipelago out of sight of the rest of the world lives
Rory, a ten-year-old boy. He and his mother and a handful of
survivors live an exhausting and precarious existence, entirely
isolated. The sea is alive, and angry. Every man Rory can remember
has been drowned. Everyone knows he'll be next.
One night, for the first time since the world changed and the curse
descended, strangers appear on the island. They're on their way to
England, seeking a powerful magic ring. And one of them seems to
know Rory by sight...
Caught up in their quest, Rory enters an England of terrors and
marvels, at the heart of which lies a place where journeys
unimaginably longer and older than his will reach their end:
Pendurra.

"Exceedingly entertaining." -The New York Times "Umbrella Academy
meets Tana French. Dark, claustrophobic, and beautifully written."
-Andrea Bartz, author of We Were Never Here From the author of The
Winter Sister and Behind the Red Door, a family obsessed with true
crime gathers to bury their patriarch-only to find another body
already in his grave. At twenty-six, Dahlia Lighthouse is haunted
by her upbringing. Raised in a secluded island mansion deep in the
woods and kept isolated by her true crime-obsessed parents, she is
unable to move beyond the disappearance of her twin brother, Andy,
when they were sixteen. After several years away and following her
father's death, Dahlia returns to the house, where the family makes
a gruesome discovery: buried in their father's plot is another
body-Andy's, his skull split open with an ax. Dahlia is quick to
blame Andy's murder on the serial killer who terrorized the island
for decades, while the rest of her family reacts to the revelation
in unsettling ways. Her brother, Charlie, pours his energy into
creating a family memorial museum, highlighting their research into
the lives of famous murder victims; her sister, Tate, forges ahead
with her popular dioramas portraying crime scenes; and their mother
affects a cheerfully domestic facade, becoming unrecognizable as
the woman who performed murder reenactments for her children. As
Dahlia grapples with her own grief and horror, she realizes that
her eccentric family, and the mansion itself, may hold the answers
to what happened to her twin.
