A twisting, pulse-pounding thriller from the New York Times bestselling
author of The Housemaid and The Coworker!
Sometimes the truth kills…
Newlyweds Tricia and Ethan are searching for the house of their dreams.
They think they've found it when they visit the remote manor that once
belonged to Dr. Adrienne Hale, a renowned psychiatrist who vanished
without a trace years ago. But when a violent winter storm traps them
at the estate, the house begins to lose its appeal.
Stuck inside and growing restless, Tricia stumbles on a collection of
audio transcripts from Dr. Hale's sessions with patients. As Tricia
listens to the cassette tapes, she learns about the terrifying chain of
events leading up to the doctor's mysterious disappearance.
With each tape, another shocking piece of the puzzle falls into place,
and a web of lies slowly unravels. But by the time Tricia reaches the
final cassette, the one that reveals the entire horrifying story, it
will be too late…
From New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden comes an
addictive, unpredictable thriller that will keep you asking the
question: what is the truth?
The latest race-against-time instalment of the award-winning Grace
series, now a major ITV show.
Hunting him would be murder . . .
When James Taylor arrives late for a funeral, he has to stand at the
back of the small church. But, as the service progresses, Taylor
notices a man six rows in front of him. At first he thinks he must be
mistaken, but the more he looks at the man, the more convinced Taylor
becomes that this is his old schoolfriend Rufus Rorke.
Except it couldn’t be him, could it? Because two years ago Taylor
attended Rufus Rorke’s funeral. He even delivered Rufus’s eulogy.
On the other side of Brighton, at Police HQ, Detective Superintendent
Roy Grace has been alerted to a number of suspicious deaths that he
can’t get out of his mind. But how are they linked? And how could they
possibly be connected to Rufus Rorke?
Roy Grace is about to find out just how dangerous a dead man can be.
'Pretty much everything I want in an historical thriller - an
absolutely terrific read' Philip Gwynne Jones 'A great insight into
Renaissance Florence. What I love about these books is the seamless
weaving of factual history with a great story' Abir Mukherjee
Florence. Spring, 1537. When Cesare Aldo investigates a report of
intruders at a convent in the Renaissance city's northern quarter,
he enters a community divided by bitter rivalries and harbouring
dark secrets. His case becomes far more complicated when a man's
body is found deep inside the convent, stabbed more than two dozen
times. Unthinkable as it seems, all the evidence suggests one of
the nuns must be the killer. Meanwhile, Constable Carlo Strocchi
finds human remains pulled from the Arno that belong to an officer
of the law missing since winter. The dead man had many enemies, but
who would dare kill an official of the city's most feared criminal
court? As Aldo and Strocchi close in on the truth, identifying the
killers will prove more treacherous than either of them could ever
have imagined . . . The Darkest Sin is an atmospheric historical
thriller by D. V. Bishop, set in Renaissance Florence and is the
sequel to City of Vengeance.

Combining the talents of two of our greatest storytellers, James Patterson and Michael Crichton present an engrossing event thriller about a volcanic eruption in Hawaii.
A once-in-a-century volcanic eruption is about to destroy the Big Island of Hawaii. But a decades-old military secret could turn the volcano into something even more terrifying... Now it’s up to a handful of brave individuals to save the island – and the entire world.
Michael Crichton, creator of Jurassic Park and Westworld, had a passion project he'd been pursuing for years ahead of his untimely death in 2008. Knowing how special it was, his widow held back his notes and the partial manuscript till she found the right author to complete it. The author she chose is the world’s most popular storyteller: James Patterson. Eruption brings the pace of Patterson to the concept of Crichton—the most anticipated mega-thriller in years.

a little scandalous – that George Smiley might almost be happy.
But Control has other plans. A Russian agent has defected in the most
unusual of circumstances, and the man he was sent to kill in London is
nowhere to be found. Smiley reluctantly agrees to one last simple task:
interview Susanna, a Hungarian émigré and employee of the missing man,
and sniff out a lead. But in his absence the shadows of Moscow have
lengthened. Smiley will soon find himself entangled in a perilous
mystery that will define the battles to come, and strike at the heart
of his greatest enemy…

crime fiction When powerful men pull strings to get what they
want... someone almost always ends up dead There's not much that

another private investigation case, but he can't refuse a

father. The road trip to the Upper Peninsula promises DeMarco and
his partner, Jayme, a chance to heal from their last case, which
ended in a traumatic brush with death for DeMarco. But things

seemingly simple paternity investigation soon morphs into something
deadly. The deeper DeMarco, Jayme, and the rest of their team dig,

keep one member of their team, from falling prey to her own kind of
darkness. This investigation just might be the most emotionally

Op ’n verlate grondpad in Limpopo druk hulle twee kilogram se vlekvrye staal – die reuse Smith & Wesson Model 500 – teen Lemmer die lyfwag se kop en vra: “Waar is dit?” Hy weet nie. Hulle belieg en bedrieg hom, steel sy Glock, die een met sy vingerafdrukke daarop. Hulle ken hom nie; hulle gaan betaal. Hulle gaan ’n spoor trap wat wyd sal loop.
Johan Fourie skryf onderhoudend en met eerlikheid en passie oor die
wereld van die stroper - mense wat gevorderde tegnologie,
helikopters en groot geld inspan van hul duistere motiewe. Sy
deeglike kennis van die veld, natuur en taktiek wat die stropers
gebruik, dra daartoe by dat hy die leser 'n naelbytervaring gee oor
'n saak wat elke Suid-Afrikaner na aan die hart behoort te le. Die
leser is telkens saam met die spesiale magte bly oor hul suksesse,
maar is ook saam met hulle ontsteld wanneer hul nog 'n renoster
verloor. Johan Fourie slaag daarin om die strategiee van die
wildstropers, asook die pogings om hulle uit te oorle op 'n
spannende wyse aan die leser voor te hou, sonder om hom te ontstel,
maar terselfdertyd die leser skerp onder die indruk te bring tot
watter uiterstes die stropers sal gaan.
