Welcome to the Hitchcock Hotel.
Dedicated to the Master of Suspense.
Full of props and memorabilia.
Be sure to mind the birds. Be careful in the shower.
Five guests are invited – all old friends.
They go way back. Way, way back.
No one’s seen reclusive
owner Alfred in sixteen years.
And the question everyone’s asking:
why are we here? Is it a game? A puzzle?
It’s certainly a mystery.
But it’s also deadly serious.
Because someone has a score to settle.
And this will be the perfect opportunity.
After all, it wouldn’t be Hitchcock without a murder . . .
When the body of a brilliant micro-biologist is found on the
pavement below a multi-storey car-park, all the signs point to
suicide. But one officer in MI6 is not so sure. Daniel Rankin
enlists the help of Charlie Watts, a retired police detective, to
investigate further. What they uncover will eventually lead to a
desperate race against time. This is the third adventure in which
Daniel Rankin and Charlie Watts work together. But the stakes have
never been higher. They have to move fast if they are to prevent a
devastating attack on London whose effect could prove worse than
the Black Death five hundred years ago. Full of intrigue and
unexpected twists, this thriller of scientific espionage and
bio-terrorism will keep you gripped from the first to the very last
page.

There are people who don't exist, people who live outside the
realms of normal society. They keep us safe. We should never hear
about their activities. If we do, something has gone terribly
wrong. The Assets are one such covert organisation, a highly
trained counter terrorist unit. An international force, tasked with
hunting down and exterminating the enemies of the free world.
However, they are still only human. No man is exempt from the
pressures of combat. Anyone can break. Anyone can go Rogue.Now they
must hunt one of their own.

The author of instant bestseller Geneva returns with an unmissably twisty psychological thriller You saw her die Thirty years ago, one of Ben Knott's schoolfriends was murdered. Another went to prison. The story ended. The village of Barton Mallett tried to move on. Now her killer is back As the murderer’s sentence ends, the village is chosen as the unlikely location for a feature film by a Hollywood producer, with Ben’s son Nathan cast in the leading role. Can you keep hiding the truth? As the film takes shape, Ben begins to recognise the storyline – from his own past. As his son becomes immersed in a tale of bullying and retribution, things turn dangerous, and an uncomfortable truth begins to emerge. Ben must choose between the safety of his children and reopening the wounds of the past. How much is he willing to risk to protect his family – and himself?
Kirby Cornell needs a break from everything:
- Her crumbling apartment in the sleepy town of Crowhurst (famous for
its bucolic countryside and a second-rate serial killer from the ’90s).
- Her dead-end job.
- Her sleazy landlord
- Her messy roommates.
- And, most of all, the terrible thing they all did.
Luckily, that hasn’t caught up with her just yet. Until a new message
on their old group chat pops up: Everyone in the group chat dies.
It’s the first text her ex-roommate Esme has sent for ages, but that’s
not the really weird thing.
The really weird thing is, Esme died twelve months ago…
In 'The Guardians' we follow the reactions of the British
Government to the attacks in Paris on the offices of the magazine
Charlie Hebdo and the Jewish supermarket. Their concern, of course,
is of repeat attacks in Great Britain and, in particular, on the
vulnerable junior Government ministers who do not have police
protection. With each Government department anxious not to increase
its spending, providing extra protection would be costly. It is
decided to recruit recently-retired members of the armed forces,
mainly with the rank of sergeant and with active front-line
experience in Afghanistan. Fifty would be initially required, with
a reserve of another fifty, all placed on a twelve-month contract
that could be extended.
Sharp as a snakebite, Sundial is a gripping novel about the secrets we
bury from the ones we love most, from Catriona Ward, the author of The
Last House on Needless Street.
Rob has spent her life running from Sundial, the family’s ranch deep in
the Mojave Desert, and her childhood memories.
But she’s worried about her daughter, Callie, who collects animal bones
and whispers to imaginary friends. It reminds her of a darkness that
runs in her family, and Rob knows it’s time to return.
Callie is terrified of her mother. Rob digs holes in the backyard late
at night, and tells disturbing stories about growing up on the ranch.
Soon Callie begins to fear that only one of them will leave Sundial
alive...
