From award-winning, internationally bestselling crime writer Catherine Ryan Howard comes The Trap: an unsettling mystery inspired by a series of still-unsolved disappearances in Ireland in the nineties, wherein one young woman risks everything to catch a faceless killer.
One year ago, Lucy’s sister, Nicki, left to meet friends at a pub in Dublin and never came home. The third Irish woman to vanish inexplicably in as many years, the agony of not knowing what happened that night has turned Lucy’s life into a waking nightmare. So, she’s going to take matters into her own hands.
Angela works as a civilian paper-pusher in the Missing Persons Unit, but wants nothing more than to be a fully fledged member of An Garda Síochána, the Irish police force. With the official investigation into the missing women stalled, she begins pulling on a thread that could break the case wide open—and destroy her chances of ever joining the force.
A nameless man drives through the night, his latest victim in the back seat. He’s going to tell her everything, from the beginning. And soon, she’ll realize: what you don’t know can hurt you …

Stranded on a dark road in the middle of the night, a young woman
accepts a lift from a passing stranger. It's the nightmare scenario
that every girl is warned about, and she knows the dangers all too
well - but what other choice does she have? As they drive, she
alternates between fear and relief - one moment thinking he is just
a good man doing a good thing, the next convinced he's a monster.
But when he delivers her safely to her destination, she realizes
her fears were unfounded. And her heart sinks. Because a monster is
what she's looking for. She'll try again tomorrow night. But will
the man who took her sister take the bait?
An orphaned boy raised by a survivalist wends his way into the real
world in an emotional novel about hope, fears, and found family by
New York Times bestselling author Catherine Ryan Hyde. Out there is
chaos, the collapse of society, and so much to be afraid of. All
that matters is freedom. That’s what Remy Blake has been taught
by his survivalist father. Raised off the grid in the middle of
nowhere, his own survival skills not yet honed, Remy is days shy of
his eighth birthday when his father unexpectedly dies. As seasons
pass, supplies run out, and fending for himself grows more
desperate, Remy sets out on foot, unprepared for the great unknown
of civilization. He is found—near feral, silent, and
terrified—in the small rural town of Blaire. To Anne, a nurturing
mother of two adopted teenagers who’s still dealing with her own
childhood rejections, Remy is not a lost cause. Just a challenging
one. As Remy cautiously adapts to his new foster home, his family
wants nothing more than to reassure him that he can trust the
world. But to do so, they must first reexamine how much they trust
the world themselves, and how much they should. As Remy’s journey
into the real world begins, figuring out how to navigate it becomes
a path they will have to learn to walk together.
The truth behind a teenage girl’s disappearance becomes something
to conceal in a gripping novel about justice, lies, and impossible
choices by New York Times bestselling author Catherine Ryan Hyde.
When nineteen-year-old Jill Moss goes missing near the Utah-Arizona
border, everyone has an opinion. Only Norma Gallagher, a search and
rescue volunteer, knows the real story. Norma’s already found
Jill, huddled in a cave and terrified that her abusive boyfriend,
Jake, will kill her. If he ever sees her again. To protect Jill
from a dangerous man, Norma quietly delivers the girl to her
grateful parents in California, even though she’s conflicted.
Keeping Jill safe and hidden from Jake, the press, and the public
will be their secret. But secrets can’t last forever. Five years
later, the disappearance stirs a new media frenzy when Jake is
arrested for the murder of Jill Moss—and Norma knows he didn’t
kill her. As Jake is about to stand trial, lust for retribution
inflames public opinion and Jill’s family refuses to come
forward, forcing Norma to make a life-changing decision. What are
the consequences if she stays silent? And what are the risks if she
dares to finally tell the truth?

The Queen is a timely book with beautiful photos and fascinating
details about one of the most famous women of modern times: Her
Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the longest reigning British monarch in
history. "Throughout all my life and with all my heart I shall
strive to be worthy of your trust." -Queen Elizabeth II, Coronation
Speech, June 2, 1953 When the Queen passed away on September 8,
2022, at the age of 96, she had reigned over the United Kingdom for
a total of 70 years and 214 days, having endured the ups and downs
that long life will bring. She was a beacon of hope during and
after the Second World War in difficult times when the world faced
a precarious future, and she served as a role model for generations
of men and women who continue to be in awe of her commitment to
service, sacrifice, and the Commonwealth of nations over which she
ruled. The abdication of her uncle, Edward VIII, in 1936 turned her
family's world upside-down. When her father was crowned King George
VI, Elizabeth was thrust into the eye of the storm as a future
queen. A shy and reserved child, she grew into a wise and
insightful monarch who dealt ably with 15 British Prime Ministers
during her long reign, from Winston Churchill to Liz Truss. It was,
of course, not always straightforward and the Queen found herself
in hot water several times, most notably during the marriage of
Prince Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales. When Diana was
tragically killed in a car crash, the standing of the Royal Family
was probably at its lowest ebb. It is unlikely that we will ever
see a monarch reign so long or so effectively again, holding
together a disparate group of nations, each with its own
aspirations, customs, and traditions. From her uncle's abdication
to the marriage of Princess Diana and Prince Charles, this
intriguing biography includes all the ups and downs of Queen
Elizabeth's long life.
Unlikely road trip companions form an unexpected bond in an

and #1 Amazon Charts bestselling author. Lewis Madigan is young,
gay, out of work, and getting antsy when he's roped into providing
end-of-life care for his insufferable homophobic neighbor, Chester
Wheeler. Lewis doesn't need the aggravation, just the money. The
only requirements: run errands, be on call, and put up with a
miserable old churl no one else in Buffalo can bear. After
exchanging barbs, bickering, baiting, and pushing buttons, Chester
hits Lewis with the big ask. Lewis can't say no to a dying wish:
drive Chester to Arizona in his rust bucket of a Winnebago to see
his ex-wife for the first time in thirty-two years-for the last
time. One week, two thousand miles. To Lewis, it becomes an
illuminating journey into the life and secrets of a vulnerable man
he's finally beginning to understand. A neighbor, a stranger, and a
surprising new friend whose closure on a conflicted past is also
just beginning. So Long, Chester Wheeler is an uplifting novel
about looking deeper into the heart and soul to form bonds with the
last people we'd expect-only to discover that they're the ones who
need it most.

A heart-stirring novel about the joy that comes from finding love
in unexpected places by the New York Times and #1 Amazon Charts
bestselling author. Thirteen-year-old Abby Hubble lives in an
unhappy home in the Sierra Nevada foothills where her father makes
life miserable for her and her mother, Mary. One day Abby witnesses
a man dump a litter of puppies into the nearby river. Diving in to
rescue all seven, she knows she won't be able to bring them home.
Afraid for their fate at the pound, she takes them to an abandoned
cabin, where all she can offer is a promise that she'll be back the
next day. To grieving widower Elliot Colvin, life has lost meaning.
Looking for solace, he retreats to the hunting cabin he last
visited years ago, before his wife's illness. What he discovers is
not at all what he expected: seven puppies and one determined girl
with an indomitable heart. As Abby and Elliot's friendship deepens,
Abby imagines how much better her life-and the puppies' lives-would
be if her mother were married to Elliot instead of her father. But
when Abby's father moves the family hundreds of miles away, Abby
and her mother must decide how long they're willing to defer
happiness. Seven Perfect Things is a story about joy, where to find
it, how to know it when you see it, and the courage it takes to
hang on to it once you have it.

An unexpected connection becomes the saving grace for two unlikely
friends in a heart-stirring novel about love, loss, and moving
forward by a New York Times and #1 Amazon Charts bestselling
author. Never knowing his parents, eleven-year-old Stewie Little
and his brother have been raised on a farm by their older sister.
Stewie steadfastly tends the chickens left by his beloved late
grandmother. And every day Stewie goes door to door selling fresh
eggs from his wagon-a routine with a surprise just around the
corner. It's his new customer, Marilyn. She's prickly and guarded,
yet comfortably familiar-she reminds the grieving Stewie so much of
the grandmother he misses more than he can express. Marilyn has a
reason for keeping her distance: a secret no one knows about. Her
survival tactic is to draw a line between herself and other
people-one that Stewie is determined to cross. As their visits
become more frequent, a complicated but deeply rooted relationship
grows. That's when Stewie discovers how much more there is to
Marilyn, to her past, and to challenges that become more pressing
each day. But whatever difficult times lie ahead, Stewie learns
that although he can't fix everything for Marilyn or himself, at
least he's no longer alone.
From New York Times bestselling author Catherine Ryan Hyde comes an
unforgettable story of courage and finding forgiveness in an
unforgiving wilderness. Seventeen-year-old Ethan Underwood is
totally unprepared to search for his father in the Blythe River
National Wilderness. Not only is he small, scrawny, and skittish
but he's barely speaking to the man after a traumatic betrayal. Yet
when his father vanishes from their remote cabin and rangers
abandon the rescue mission, suddenly it's up to Ethan to keep
looking. Angry or not, he's his father's only hope. With the help
of three locals-a fearless seventy-year-old widow, a pack guide,
and a former actor with limited outdoor skills-he heads into the
wild. The days that follow transform Ethan's world. Hail, punishing
sun, swollen rapids, and exhausting pain leave him wondering if
he's been fooled yet again: Is his father out here at all? As the
situation grows increasingly dire, Ethan realizes this quest has
become about more than finding his dad. From the bestselling author
of Pay It Forward comes a story of nature revealing human
nature-the trickiest terrain. Navigating an unforgiving landscape,
Ethan searches himself for the ability to forgive his father-if he
finds him alive.
An Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestseller. From New York
Times bestselling author Catherine Ryan Hyde comes a gripping and
emotional novel about friendship, motherhood, and the journey
toward finding a place to call home. Brooke is a divorced single
mom, financially strapped, living with her mother, and holding
tight to the one thing that matters most: her two-year-old
daughter, Etta. Then, in a matter of seconds, Brooke’s life is
shattered when she’s carjacked. Helpless and terrified, all
Brooke can do is watch as Etta, still strapped in her seat,
disappears into the Los Angeles night. Miles away, Etta is found by
Molly, a homeless teen who is all too used to darkness. Thrown away
by her parents, and with a future as stable as the wooden crate she
calls home, Molly survives day to day by her wits. As unpredictable
as her life is, she’s stunned to find Etta, abandoned and alone.
Shielding the little girl from more than the elements, Molly must
put herself in harm’s way to protect a child as lost as she is.
Out of one terrible moment, Brooke’s and Molly’s desperate
paths converge and an unlikely friendship across generations and
circumstances is formed. With it, Brooke and Molly will come to
discover that what’s lost—and what’s found—can change in a
heartbeat.

New York Times bestselling author Catherine Ryan Hyde returns with
a hopeful novel of sacrifice, two lost souls, and enduring love.
It's 1965, and life has taken a turn for eighteen-year-old Anton
Addison-Rice. Nearly a year after his brother died in a tragic
accident, Anton is still wounded-physically and emotionally. Alone
for the holidays, he catches a glimpse of his neighbor Edith across
the street one evening and realizes that she's in danger. Anton is
determined to help Edith leave her abusive marriage. Frightened and
fifteen years Anton's senior, Edith is slow to trust. But when she
needs a safe place to stay, she lets down her guard, and over the
course of ten days an unlikely friendship grows. As Anton falls
hopelessly and selflessly in love, Edith fears both her husband
finding her and Anton getting hurt. She must disappear without
telling anyone where she's going-even Anton. If keeping Edith safe
means letting her go, Anton will say goodbye forever. Or so he
believes. What would happen, though, if one day their paths should
cross again?
