Three casinos. Three bodies. Three days.

After a string of brutal murders in Las Vegas, Cassie Hobbes and the Naturals are called in to investigate. But even with the team's unique profiling talents, these murders seem baffling: unlike many serial killers, this one uses different methods every time. All of the victims were killed in public, yet the killer does not show up on any security feed. And each victim has a string of numbers tattooed on their wrist. Hidden in the numbers is a code - and the closer the Naturals come to unraveling the mystery, the more perilous the case becomes.

Meanwhile, Cassie is dealing with an equally dangerous and much more painful mystery. For the first time in years, there's been a break in her mother's case. As personal issues and tensions between the team mount, Cassie and the Naturals will be faced with impossible odds - and impossible choices.

Born smart. Born tough. Born FBI.

Jodi never asked to be a Thrasher – a member of the high school elite. But Jodi has been best friends with Zack Thrasher her whole life, and like it or not, that means she’s branded a Thrasher by the rest of the school. And different as she feels to the other four Thrashers – all talented, privileged and beautiful – she can’t help appreciating her social status, especially compared to her violent home life.

But being a Thrasher isn’t worth dying for – except, apparently, it was to Emily Mills. Sweet but intense Emily, whose fixation on Zack brought her close to the in-crowd, but never close enough. Emily, who took her own life on prom night.

When a detective finds a copy of Emily’s diary, there are whispers that she was ‘Thrashed’ – bullied to death by Zack and his gang. They are arrested, charged, and ostracised, their once bright futures extinguished. Then begin the texts from unfamiliar numbers, inexplicable light flares, the run of bad luck that becomes a string of near-fatal accidents… and the constant dreams of Emily.

But something isn’t adding up. The diary is too convenient. In fact, it’s filled with Jodi’s own secrets, repurposed by Emily. But why?

One thing is clear. Emily isn’t done with the Thrashers.

Stephen King 'One of my favorite books - I read it every couple of years.' Suzanne Collins, author of The Hunger Games What are we? Humans? Or animals? Or savages? What's grown-ups going to think?

A RUTHLESS GAME. SEVEN MYSTERY PLAYERS. LOVE AND LIVES ARE AT STAKE.

Welcome to the Grandest Game, a life-changing competition run by billionaire Avery Grambs and the four infamous Hawthorne brothers.

LYRA tells herself she’s only playing for the money – not for answers about her father’s death and certainly not to confront the infuriating, enigmatic GRAYSON Hawthorne. Facing off against Lyra are GIGI, Grayson’s half-sister, who is determined to prove herself, and ROHAN, who has few morals, a dangerous skill set, and no future – unless he wins the game.

Swept away to a luxury private island, Lyra, Gigi and Rohan must do whatever it takes to best one another, a cast of formidable rivals, and a game that only the sharpest minds can conquer. As sparks fly and the challenges push the players to their limits, it becomes clear that everyone has secrets, ad the past won’t stay buried forever.
