Detective Cara Kennedy thought she'd lost her husband and son in an
accident, but harrowing evidence has emerged that points to murder--and
she will stop at nothing to find the truth in this riveting mystery
from the author of City Under One Roof.
On a frigid February day, Anchorage Detective Cara Kennedy stands by
the graves of her husband and son, watching as their caskets are raised
from the earth. It feels sacrilegious, but she has no choice. Aaron and
Dylan disappeared on a hike a year ago, their bones eventually found
and buried. But shocking clues have emerged that foul play was
involved, potentially connecting them to a string of other deaths and
disappearances.
Somehow tied to the mystery is Mia Upash, who grew up in an isolated
village called Unity, a community of women and children in hiding from
abusive men. Mia never imagined the trouble she would find herself in
when she left home to live in Man's World. Although she remains haunted
by the tragedy of what happened to the man and the boy in the woods,
she has her own reasons for keeping quiet.
Aided by police officer Joe Barkowski and other residents of Point
Mettier, Cara's investigation will lead them on a dangerous path that
puts their lives and the lives of everyone around them in mortal
jeopardy.

Mysterious disappearances. An urban legend rumored to be
responsible. And one group of friends determined to save their city
at any cost. Stranger Things meets Jordan Peele in this utterly
original debut from an incredible new voice. For over a year, the
Bronx has been plagued by sudden disappearances that no one can
explain. Sixteen-year-old Raquel does her best to ignore it. After
all, the police only look for the white kids. But when her crush
Charlize's cousin goes missing, Raquel starts to pay
attention-especially when her own mom comes down with a mysterious
illness that seems linked to the disappearances. Raquel and
Charlize team up to investigate, but they soon discover that
everything is tied to a terrifying urban legend called the Echo
Game. The game is rumored to trap people in a sinister world
underneath the city, and the rules are based on a particularly dark
chapter in New York's past. And if the friends want to save their
home and everyone they love, they will have to play the game and
destroy the evil at its heart-or die trying.
A boy on a quest against the power of the storm Eleven-year-old
Danny's parents are storm chasers - which sounds fun and exciting,
and it is, so long as you aren't the son who has to wait behind at
home. And one night, after a particularly fierce storm, Danny's
parents don't come back. Stranger still, the old sycamore tree in
Danny's yard seems to have been struck by lightning, and when he
picks up a fragment of wood from the tree's heart, he finds he can
hear voices ... including that of next door's rather uppity cat,
Mitzy. The stick is a taro, a shard of lightning that bestows upon
its bearer unnerving powers, including the ability to talk with
plants and animals - and it is very valuable. So valuable, in fact,
that it attracts the attention of a Sammael, an ancient figure of
darkness and a buyer of souls. And he will do anything to get his
hands on it ... And so begins a dangerous and daring quest. Danny,
who is bewildered, alone and unaccustomed to acts of bravery, must
confront his fears, find his parents and unravel the secrets of The
Book of Storms ...
