Cold cases get hot in this unputdownable mystery from Jennifer Lynn
Barnes, no.1 New York Times bestselling author of The Inheritance Games
series. Perfect for fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.
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.
From the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy bestselling Little
People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of Nikola Tesla, the
scientist and inventor whose groundbreaking inventions we continue
to use today. Since he was a young boy growing up in the Austrian
Empire, Nikola was fascinated by science and numbers. His teachers
knew he had a brilliant mind, but Nikola's irregular routines and
fondness for playing cards meant that he was kicked out of school
before he could finish his exams. However, after working for a
spell at the Budapest Telephone Exchange, where he made several
clever innovations to their electrical systems, he managed to get a
job with Edison Machine Works in New York, U.S.A. In the United
States, Tesla's inquisitive nature and ingenious mind spurred him
on to keep exploring electricity, and he came up with several
groundbreaking inventions during this time, including breakthroughs
in alternating current and wireless remote controls. By the end of
his life, the brilliant inventor had more than 300 patents for
original and unique inventions, and had advanced scientific thought
by a generation. This inspiring book features stylish and quirky
illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical
timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the
iconic scientist's life. Little People, BIG DREAMS is a bestselling
series of books and educational games that explore the lives of
outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists and
