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.

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

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.

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV... And the odds are against all who play.
With all four of Suzanne Collins's Hunger Games novels in one box set, you can step into the world of Panem and continue all the way to the electrifying conclusion.
Evil is stalking South Africa’s Sabi Sand Game Reserve. Viewers around the world are shocked when a live lockdown webcast of a safari game drive exposes them to the brutal reality of rhino poaching. A wily poacher then disappears into thin air, confounding logic and baffling ace trackers Mia Greenaway and Bongani Ngobeni.
Detective Colonel Sannie van Rensburg, still reeling from a personal tragedy, is dealing with an angry community on the border of the Kruger National Park – two young girls have been abducted and the local people fear the children have been taken for use in umuti, sinister traditional medicine practices. Umuti is also being employed by poachers, who pay healers for potions they believe will make them invisible and bulletproof.
When another young girl disappears, this time a tourist, Mia and Sannie must confront their own personal demons and challenge everything they believe, in order to follow a trail that seems to vanish at every turn.

For decades, Taiwan has been a thorn in the side of the Chinese
government. New Chinese President Li Jian Jun is done fooling around.
He's devised a secret military operation to take the island. Only one
man knows how to stop Li's bloody plan for reunification: Minister of
Defense Qin Haiyu. Fearing for his life and the safety of his family,
Qin covertly makes contact with the CIA in Beijing and signals his
desire to defect to the West.
To get Qin out, John Clark creates an international task force
reminiscent of Rainbow Six and goes undercover in mainland China.
Meanwhile, Lt. Commander Katie Ryan is deployed to the tip of the spear
on the destroyer USS Jason Dunham to defend Taiwan. Threatened by an
encircling Chinese armada, she's under pressure to find a flaw in the
invaders' plan for her father to exploit.
For his part, President Jack Ryan may have the power of the entire US
military at his disposal, but what he really needs are Li's secret
plans from Defense Minister Qin so he can stave off a war. Because
America's Defense Protocol could lead to a game of mutual destruction
that could cost the lives of thousands of young soldiers, sailors,
special operators . . . and his daughter.
Struggling with integrating back into society after escaping her captor after five years of torture, sexual abuse as well as prostitution, Minenhle finds herself turning against the people who love her the most.

Nobody ever found out what happened to Laika Martenwood, the girl who
vanished without a trace on her way to school one morning. But for her
sister Willa, life shattered into tiny pieces that day, and she has
never been able to put them back together again.
Willa sees Laika everywhere: on buses, at parties, in busy streets.
It’s been twenty-five years, and the only thing that has kept her going
is her belief that her sister is alive, somewhere.
But when a dinner party conversation about childhood memories spirals
out of control, a shattering revelation from one of the guests forces
Willa to rethink everything she thought she knew about her past. And,
out of the debris of that explosive evening, the truth of what really
happened begins to emerge. Piece by piece.
"Mrs. Cass, we were hoping your son could answer a few questions about
the girl who disappeared last night..."
Erika Cass has a perfect family and a perfect life. Until the evening
when two detectives show up at her front door.
A high school girl has vanished from Erika's quiet suburban
neighborhood. The police suspect the worst--murder. And Erika's teenage
son, Liam, was the last person to see the girl alive.
Erika has always sensed something dark and disturbed in her seemingly
perfect older child. She wants to believe he's innocent, but as the
evidence mounts, she can't deny the truth--Liam may have done the
unthinkable.
Some will know how it begins . . .
My name is Sandy.
My husband is Detective Superintendent Roy Grace.
But when I disappeared, even he couldn't find me . . .
This is my story.
There's more to Sandy than meets the eye. A woman with a dubious past,
a complicated present and an uncertain future.
Then she was gone.
Some will think they know how it ends . . .
Her disappearance caused a nationwide search. Even the best detective
on the force couldn't find her.
They thought she was dead.
But nobody knows this . . .
Where did she go? Why did she run? What would cause a woman to leave
her whole life behind and
simply vanish?
For the first time the truth behind Sandy Grace’s dramatic
disappearance is revealed. They Thought I Was Dead will thrill fans and
new readers alike with its gripping story of a woman on the run. This
is Sandy's story.
A vivid and immersive story of obsession perfect for fans of dark
academia and Donna Tartt's The Secret History Oliver Marks has just
served ten years for the murder of one of his closest friends - a
murder he may or may not have committed. On the day he's released,
he's greeted by the detective who put him in prison. Detective
Colborne is retiring, but before he does, he wants to know what
really happened ten years ago. As a young actor studying
Shakespeare at an elite arts conservatory, Oliver noticed that his
talented classmates seem to play the same roles onstage and off -
villain, hero, tyrant, temptress - though Oliver felt doomed to
always be a secondary character in someone else's story. But when
the teachers change up the casting, a good-natured rivalry turns
ugly, and the plays spill dangerously over into life. When tragedy
strikes, one of the seven friends is found dead. The rest face
their greatest acting challenge yet: convincing the police, and
themselves, that they are blameless.

Remi Hayes is beginning to think she’s cursed—her fiancé cheated on
her, her brother Jude is a major pain in her ass, and the moldering
mansion she inherited from her uncle might just be haunted.
Flipping Blackleaf Manor already feels impossible, even before Remi is
blackmailed by Dane Covett, the dangerously hot doctor-next-door, and
Grimstone’s most eligible bachelor—if you can ignore the fact that
everyone in town thinks he murdered his wife.
Remi doesn’t want to believe it, especially after Dane sews up a gash
in her thigh and steals a kiss in payment—a kiss that makes it hard to
walk for reasons that have nothing to do with an injured leg.
But as the renovation takes a strange and violent turn, Remi must
decide if Dane is the one haunting her nights, or if he’s trying to
protect her from something much worse…
DISCOVER THE LATEST DIRK PITT ADVENTURE. From the shadow of war comes

take a mysterious piece of cargo out of the country. But when he learns
his intended ship has been sunk, the fate of his cargo must rest on a
decrepit steamer, sailing out under German fire. . .
Decades later, a diving expedition in the English Channel leads
Director Dirk Pitt to a cache of uncut diamonds on a shipwreck. No
sooner than they are discovered, the diamonds are stolen!
Pitt and the NUMA agency now find they must face a murderous cabal with
far more destructive plans than mere theft. Vital water treatment
facilities around the globe are being targeted - placing the world's
population in grave peril.
From the shadow of the Eiffel Tower to the islands of the Caribbean,
only Dirk Pitt and his children, Summer and Dirk Jr., can locate the
treasure that will save the world from catastrophe.
