Robert Langdon, esteemed professor of symbology, travels to Prague to attend a groundbreaking lecture by Katherine Solomon—a prominent noetic scientist with whom he has recently begun a relationship. Katherine is on the verge of publishing an explosive book that contains startling discoveries about the nature of human consciousness and threatens to disrupt centuries of established belief.
But a brutal murder catapults the trip into chaos, and Katherine suddenly disappears along with her manuscript. Langdon finds himself targeted by a powerful organization and hunted by a chilling assailant sprung from Prague’s most ancient mythology. As the plot expands into London and New York, Langdon desperately searches for Katherine . . . and for answers.
In a thrilling race through the dual worlds of futuristic science and mystical lore, he uncovers a shocking truth about a secret project that will forever change the way we think about the human mind.

Maldives where they can unwind and celebrate a new chapter in
midlife—until they realize the resort of their dreams is harboring a
killer.
Best friends Darcy, Camilla, and Kate escape for a post-divorce retreat
in the Maldives, the perfect place to relax, reset, and embrace a fresh
start in life. Darcy is learning how to be a free woman at forty-two.
Camilla has found the perfect calling as a fitness and wellness
influencer with a devoted following. And Kate is finally working on the
book she was meant to write after years of telling other people’s
stories.
Their dream getaway? The exclusive and isolated Sapphire Island Resort.
With luxurious private villas, crystal-clear waters, and sun-drenched
white sand beaches, relaxation is guaranteed. But this is no ordinary
friendship, and they’re not the only guests on the island with secrets.
Who left the body on the beach—and who’s next?
A propulsive and deliciously dark tale about female friendship,
loyalty, and lies, Bad Tourists is a white-hot thriller from the first
page to its mind-blowing finish.
In this exclusive authorized edition from the Queen of Mystery, the
unstoppable Hercule Poirot finds himself in the Middle East with only
one day to solve a murder.
Among the towering red cliffs of Petra, like some monstrous swollen
Buddha, sits the corpse of Mrs. Boynton. A tiny puncture mark on her
wrist is the only sign of the fatal injection that killed her.
With only twenty-four hours available to solve the mystery, Hercule
Poirot recalled a chance remark he’d overheard back in Jerusalem: “You
see, don’t you, that she’s got to be killed?” Mrs. Boynton was, indeed,
the most detestable woman he’d ever met. . . .
The Western Cape is now an independent country. Successful, safe, murderous.
Lisa Robinson has moved from Durban to Cape Town to be with Grant, the prospective next First Minister of the Good Hope Territory. The GHT is the safest and most prosperous country in the southern hemisphere – at a price.
Citizens contract to be tracked by drones, executions are synchronised to the Noon Gun and only those with qualifications are permitted to vote in the Qualified Franchise system.
Life here is picture-perfect. The Mother City is pristine. Everyone has a job. Tourism is booming. But this shiny new state has decided that Lisa is a problem, and problems here disappear quickly and quietly.
The Maid meets Only Murders in the Building in this twist-packed cosy
mystery set in the smallest residential square in London.
Marchfield Square was meant to be a haven from the outside world. A
place for those who need somewhere safe from their pasts, or who could
otherwise not afford to stay in the city they call home. That was
Celeste Van Duren's plan. One of her tenants being murdered in his own
kitchen, and the police trying to pin it on his long-suffering wife,
was not.
So Celeste does what anyone with a lot of money, a strong sense of
justice and a bad hip would do: she recruits some help to track down
the real murderer. Her cleaner, Audrey, knows everyone in the square
and is liked by all, while failed crime writer, Lewis, is known by no
one. He hates his job, hates his life, and he's not that fond of Audrey
either, but Celeste is persuasive. In theory his knowledge of police
procedure and her way with people should help them find the killer - if
they don't kill each other first...
Despite their differences the two soon discover the victim's dodgy art
deals may hold the key to the mystery – but have they missed something
closer to home? After all, how well do you really know your neighbours?

Clay Edison has left behind the Alameda County coroner’s office to
strike out on his own as a private investigator.
He’s perfectly happy investigating calm, low-stakes embezzlement cases
- that is, until PI Regina Klein calls him with a case only he can
solve.
Adam Valois, the missing son of a wealthy Los Gatos couple, was found
floating dead in the Bay with a head injury and drugs in his system.
The police have lost interest, ruling it a likely overdose.
But as Clay digs deeper into Adam’s mysterious death, he begins to
suspect darker forces are at play . . .
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.
A gripping story of power, ambition, and the price of desire.
From the bustling township of Mamelodi to the heart of European

and sacrificed more than she cares to admit. As a rising diplomat with
a sharp mind and an unwavering ambition, she is no stranger to the
delicate balance of power and persuasion.
But when an illicit affair threatens to shatter her career, and hidden
enemies begin to close in, she finds herself trapped in a game where
trust is a luxury she can’t afford. In Brussels, behind the polished
façades of diplomacy, lies a dangerous world of secrets, betrayals and
high-stakes deception – where one wrong move could cost her everything.
Caught between duty, love and the weight of her past, Mbali must decide
just how far she’s willing to go to secure the future she’s always
dreamed of.
