Two women. An office filled with secrets. One terrible crime that can't be taken back.
Dawn Schiff is strange. At least, everyone thinks so at Vixed, the nutritional supplement company where Dawn works as an accountant. She never says the right thing. She has no friends. And she is always at her desk at precisely 8:45 a.m.
So when Dawn doesn't show up to the office one morning, her coworker Natalie Farrell―beautiful, popular, top sales rep five years running―is surprised. Then she receives an unsettling, anonymous phone call that changes everything…
It turns out Dawn wasn't just an awkward outsider―she was being targeted by someone close. And now Natalie is irrevocably tied to Dawn as she finds herself caught in a twisted game of cat and mouse that leaves her wondering: who's the real victim?
But one thing is incredibly clear: somebody hated Dawn Schiff. Enough to kill.
The Coworker is a tense, unputdownable thriller from New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden that explores the dark ways the past can echo through the present―with deadly consequences.
An Egyptologist investigates a death at the British Museum in a
"charming" Victorian mystery by the New York Times-bestselling
author of The Painted Queen (The Denver Post). Back in London after
an archaeological dig, adventurous sleuth Amelia Peabody--"rather
like Indiana Jones, Sherlock Holmes and Miss Marple all rolled into
one"--discovers that a night watchman at the museum has perished in
the shadow of a mummy case (The Washington Post Book World). There
are murmurings about an ancient curse, but a skeptical Amelia is
determined to find an all-too-human killer. Soon, she's balancing
family demands, including the troubles of her precocious son,
Ramses (aka Walter), with not just one unsolved crime, but two . .
. From a recipient of multiple honors including the Mystery Writers
of America's Grand Master Award, this murder mystery set in
Victorian-era England is a witty, rollicking, and "deeply
satisfying" romp (Entertainment Weekly) in a "jewel of a series"
(The New York Times Book Review).
Summer 1999. Will joins five other idealistic graduates working for an
eccentric psychology professor. They’re going to launch a website to
change online dating forever.
No-one expects it to end in tragedy.
Twenty-five years later, Will gets an invitation: a dinner party. A
chance to see the old gang again.
But as soon as he arrives, something doesn’t seem right.
There’s an unexpected guest. The hosts are clearly keeping a secret.
And on the way in, Will is sure he heard crying.
Everyone has something to hide about what really happened that summer.
But only one of them is willing to kill to find the truth…
Near the dying English seaside town of Ilmarsh, local police detective Alec Nichols discovers sixteen horses’ heads on a farm, each buried with a single eye facing the low winter sun. After forensic veterinarian Cooper Allen travels to the scene, the investigators soon uncover evidence of a chain of crimes in the community – disappearances, arson and mutilations – all culminating in the reveal of something deadly lurking in the ground itself.
In the dark days that follow, the town slips into panic and paranoia. Everything is not as it seems. Anyone could be a suspect. And as Cooper finds herself unable to leave town, Alec is stalked by an unseen threat. The two investigators race to uncover the truth behind these frightening and insidious mysteries – no matter the cost.
Sixteen Horses is the debut literary thriller from an extraordinary talent, Greg Buchanan. A story of enduring guilt, trauma and punishment, set in a small seaside community the rest of the world has left behind . . .
’n Reeksmoordenaar jag by stormweer, en Rooi en Kassie moet hom vastrek. Die Hartedief kom met moord weg, en dan is Kassie se volle aandag ook nie eintlik by die saak nie, want hy is smoorverlief op ’n aanvallige mede-seëlversamelaar. Vlerksleep is nie vir sissies nie. Om sake vir hom en Rooi te vererger word hul baas daarvan verdink dat sy hul ondersoek in die wiele ry, en Kassie moet haar onskuld bewys. Intussen word Kaapse vroue vermoor wanneer daar onweer broei.
East Berlin 1968: a city recovering from the horrors of WWII and where
the state police, the Stasi, cultivate a climate of paranoia and fear.
In a place where your closest friend or family member could be a state
informer, the threat of violence is ever present and no one knows this
more than damaged school teacher Sebastian Metzger. But something evil
and ancient is stalking Metzger from the shadows of war–torn
buildings–something which threatens the city and perhaps even the
future of humanity itself. Tiny Acts of Violence is a stunning horror
graphic novel from Martin Stiff, writer and illustrator of the
critically acclaimed and award-nominated The Absence. “It’s an erudite
indictment of social conditioning - - it goes beyond The Lives of
Others in its critique of the Stasi.” Pat Mills (Charley’s War,
Spacewarp) “Has the feel of a long-unearthed Hitchcock… A highly
effective thriller” Rob Williams (Old Haunts, Judge Dredd) “The
atmosphere of menace and state control-induced paranoia drops from it’s
pages.” Simon Furman (Transformers, To The Death) “Gorgeously moody,
graphically striking and brilliantly cinematic” Andrew Cartmel (The
Vinyl Detective, Doctor Who)
