Immerse yourself in the terror of Peter Benchley's vintage thriller,
Jaws. Released in 1974 and inspiring Spielberg's cinematic masterpiece,
the book has sold over twenty million copies globally and remains a
landmark in classic literary horror.
It's never safe to go back in the water . . .
A small Atlantic resort. The mutilated body of a young woman, or what
is left of it, washes up on the long, white stretch of beach on the
beach. It is merely a harbinger of the horror that is about to unfold,
as a sun-drenched holiday turns into a nightmare.
You'll never look at the sea the same way again. A summer of terror has
begun.

"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.

*Now a major TV series starring Gary Oldman* 'The new king of the
spy thriller' Mail on Sunday From the Intelligence Service
purgatory that is Slough House, where disgraced spies are sent to
see out the dregs of their careers, Jackson Lamb is on his way to
Oxford, where a former spook has turned up dead on a bus. Dickie
Bow was a talented streetwalker once, good at following people and
bringing home their secrets. He was in Berlin with Lamb, back in
the day. But he's not an obvious target for assassination in the
here and now. On Dickie's phone Lamb finds the last message he ever
left, which hints that an old-time Moscow-style op is being run in
the Intelligence Service's back-yard. Once a spook, always a spook,
and even being dead doesn't mean you can't uncover secrets. Dickie
Bow might have tailed his last target, but Lamb and his crew of
no-hopers are about to go live. 'Mick Herron is an incredible
writer' Mark Billingham 'The spycraft of le Carre refracted through
the blackly comic vision of Joseph Heller's Catch-22' Financial

From #1 New York Times bestselling author James Rollins, the latest
riveting, deeply imaginative thriller in the Sigma Force series,
told with his trademark blend of cutting-edge science, historical
mystery, and pulse-pounding action. It begins in Africa . . . A
United Nations relief team in a small village in the Congo makes an
alarming discovery. An unknown force is leveling the evolutionary
playing field. Men, women, and children have been reduced to a
dull, catatonic state. The environment surrounding them--plants and
animals--has grown more cunning and predatory, evolving at an
exponential pace. The insidious phenomenon is spreading from a
cursed site in the jungle -- known to locals as the Kingdom of
Bones --and sweeping across Africa, threatening the rest of the
world. What has made the biosphere run amok? Is it a natural event?
Or more terrifyingly, did someone engineer it? Commander Gray
Pierce and Sigma Force are prepared for the extraordinary and have
kept the world safe, vigilance for which they have paid a tragic
personal price. Yet, even these brilliant and seasoned scientific
warriors do not understand what is behind this frightening
development--or know how to stop it. As they race to find answers,
the members of Sigma quickly realize they have become the prey. To
head off global catastrophe, Sigma Force must risk their lives to
uncover the shattering secret at the heart of the African
continent--a truth that will illuminate who we are as a species and
where we may be headed . . . sooner than we know. Mother
Nature--red in tooth and claw--is turning against humankind,
propelling the entire world into the Kingdom of Bones.
From the trenches of France, General Sean Courtney comes back to fame, fortune and a seat in the Government.
Mark Anders, the courageous young South African whom he has come to regard as his own son, returns to nothing, his grandfather murdered, and his property seized by an unknown company. At the bottom of the mystery is Sean's son Dirk, the jealous, violent and power-crazed genius whose all-consuming hatred can only end in blood . . .
A Sparrow Falls is the thrilling third novel in the Courtneys series, continuing from When the Lion Feeds and The Sound of Thunder.
