#1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Charlaine Harris
returns to her "gripping, twisty" (Karin Slaughter, New York Times
bestselling author of Pieces of Her) alternate history of the
United States where magic is an acknowledged but despised power in
this fourth installment of the Gunnie Rose series. Felicia, Lizbeth
Rose's half-sister and a student at the Grigori Rasputin school in
San Diego--capital of the Holy Russian Empire--is caught between
her own secrets and powerful family struggles. As a granddaughter
of Rasputin, she provides an essential service to the hemophiliac
Tsar Alexei, providing him the blood transfusions that keep him
alive. Felicia is treated like nonentity at the bedside of the
tsar, and at the school she's seen as a charity case with no
magical ability. But when Felicia is snatched outside the school,
the facts of her heritage begin to surface. Felicia turns out to be
far more than the Russian Mexican Lizbeth rescued. As Felicia's
history unravels and her true abilities become known, she becomes
under attack from all directions. Only her courage will keep her
alive.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Charlaine Harris is
at her best in this alternate history of the United States where
magic is an acknowledged but despised power in this third
instalment of the Gunnie Rose series. Picking up right where A
Longer Fall left off, this thrilling third instalment follows
Lizbeth Rose as she takes on one of her most dangerous missions
yet: rescuing her estranged partner, Prince Eli, from the Holy
Russian Empire. Once in San Diego, Lizbeth is going to have to rely
upon her sister Felicia, and her growing Grigori powers to navigate
her way through this strange new world of royalty and deception in
order to get Eli freed from jail where he's being held for murder.
Russian Cage continues to ramp up the momentum with more of
everything Harris' readers adore her for with romance, intrigue,
and a deep dive into the mysterious Holy Russian Empire.
'Immersive, involving, suspenseful, and intriguing, with a main
character you'll love' LEE CHILD No.1 New York Times and USA TODAY
bestselling author Charlaine Harris returns to her alternate
history of the United States where magic is an acknowledged but
despised power in this fourth installment of the Gunnie Rose
series. Felicia, Lizbeth Rose's younger half-sister and student at
the Grigori school within the capital of the New Holy Russian
Empire in San Diego, is caught between secrets and powerful family
struggles. As a distant relative to the Tsar, she provides an
essential service to him by providing blood transfusions for his
hemophilia, and she is thus given rare access and dismissed as if
cattle. At the Grigori school she is seen as a charity case, a poor
orphan with no prospects and no sign of magical prowess-the latter
which Felicia keeps purposefully hidden. And yet, when a kidnapping
attempt is made upon Felicia her past and her future crash together
in violent ways. Continuing immediately after The Russian Cage,
this fantastical fourth book takes a side step, exploring the Holy
Russian Empire while also showcasing the dynamic depths of magic
within Harris's alternate North America in curious mysteries.
Felicia, it turns out, is far more than the Russian-Mexican waif
Lizbeth rescued, and the journey of discovery she is on is filled
with magical assassins and desperation, but above it all is her
courage to never give in to the limitations imposed upon her. Love
The Walking Dead, Westworld or True Blood? You will ADORE this
gritty and wildly entertaining tale, set in a parallel reality of
the United States where magic is an outlawed power. __________

This "New York Times" and "USA Today" bestseller, now in paperback,
is a collaboration between twenty bestselling mystery novelists who
have joined forces to create a spellbinding story of love,
betrayal, and intrigue. "Readers can't go wrong with this juicy
thriller" raves "Library Journal."
Pericles "Perry" Christo is a PI with a past--a former cop who lost
his badge and his family when a corruption scandal left him broke
and disgraced. So when wealthy Upper East Side matron Julia
Drusilla summons him one cold February night, he grabs what seems
to be a straightforward (and lucrative) case.
The socialite is looking for her beautiful, aimless daughter,
Angelina, who is about to become a very wealthy young woman. But as
Christo digs deeper, he discovers there's much more to the lovely
"Angel" than meets the eye. This classic noir tale twists and turns
down New York's mean streets and along Hamptons' beaches and back
roads during a bitterly cold and gray winter where nothing is as it
seems and everyone has something to hide.
In this inventive "serial novel" storytelling approach, each of the
twenty bestselling writers brings his or her distinctive voice to a
chapter of "Inherit the Dead," building the tension to a shocking,
explosive finale. The editor, Jonathan Santlofer, has arranged to
donate any royalties in excess of editor and contributor
compensation to Safe Horizon, the leading victim assistance agency
in the country.
A new collection of linked short stories from Charlaine Harris, the
#1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse
books, the basis for HBO's True Blood , and the Midnight Crossroad
series, the inspiration for Midnight, Texas on NBC. Principal Anne
DeWitt knew her past could catch up with her, but she didn't expect
it would make her late for school. Killing a man does take time
though; so does disposing the body . . . if you do it right. After
three relatively quiet years at Travis High School, it seems Anne
is in danger of being exposed—even the baseball coach knows more
about her former life than she ever imagined. Now, she must find
out who else holds her secrets and who wants her to pay for them. .
.without letting it make her tardy again. Anne still has a school
to run, parents to manage, and a few students who might benefit
from her unique—and deadly—experience. Collected together for
the first time in Small Kingdoms and Other Stories , "Small
Kingdoms," "Sarah Smiles," "Small Chances," and "Small Signs" are
sure to delight fans of Charlaine Harris.
From Charlaine Harris, the #1 New York Times and USA TODAY
bestselling author behind HBO's hit series True Blood, NBC's
Midnight, Texas, and Hallmark's Aurora Teagarden Mysteries, the
fourth in a series that exposes the secrets hidden under every
bed… Lily Bard has made a place for herself in Shakespeare,
Arkansas, as much with her discretion as with her cleaning
services. She takes out garbage, tidies closets, washes dirty
laundry, and keeps her mouth shut. When Lily finds her notorious
client Deedra Dean dead, she decides the police don't need to know
everything she's seen on the job. Nobody needs Lily to explain
Deedra took home one man too many and paid with her life. But
discovering which tomcat turned murderer is no easy task. Soon
Lily's facing hostility from investigators and neighbors alike,
unsettled with thoughts of the dead woman and nightmares of her own
past. Her chosen home might become a bad memory faster than she
ever imagined. But Lily Bard went it alone for years before she set
foot in Shakespeare, and she hasn't forgotten how. She can't shake
the feeling that the police are missing something important. Even
though uncovering what might cost her dearly, too…
From Charlaine Harris, the #1 New York Times and USA TODAY
bestselling author behind HBO's hit series True Blood, NBC's
Midnight, Texas, and Hallmark's Aurora Teagarden Mysteries, the
fifth in a series where horror hides in plain sight… As
Shakespeare, Arkansas's least sociable housecleaner, Lily Bard
didn't open up to anyone. But now she wants more from life, and
she's making big changes to get it. She's feeling out a new job as
a PT. She's living with a man she loves. When her hard-won coping
strategies leave Jack with a bloody nose, tight-lipped Lily even
agrees to try group therapy. But the health center where the
survivors of Shakespeare are invited to process their trauma has
bigger problems than bad coffee and hard chairs. The new counselor
is fielding threatening phone calls and gruesome displays. And in a
town this size, anonymity is a joke. When a potential member is
murdered just before their meeting, Lily knows she's in danger,
too. She can't go backward. She can't ignore the threat. With her
future on the line, Lily will have to discover for herself who's
worth trusting—and who's a cold-blooded killer…
'Alluringly gritty' TIME 'An extraordinary thriller' Lee Child #1
New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris returns with the
second thrilling instalment in her Gunnie Rose series . . . When
Lizbeth Rose is hired onto a new crew to transport a crate into
Dixie, she sees it as an easy protection gig. Dixie, the
self-exiled southeast territory of the former United States, might
be just about the last place she wants to visit, but the job itself
is straightforward . . . until their cargo is stolen and her
journey turns into a massacre. Up against a wall in Dixie, Lizbeth
has to go undercover with an old friend to retrieve the crate.
Forces across three territories will be racing her, for what the
crate contains is something powerful enough to spark a rebellion,
if she can get it back in time . . . Internationally bestselling
Charlaine Harris (Sookie Stackhouse mysteries and Midnight, Texas
trilogy) is at her best here, building a compelling world of this
alternate history of the United States, where magic is an
acknowledged but despised power.
The fun, sexy romp of a paranormal romance series which inspired
HBO's True Blood. Enter Bontemps, where nothing and no one are as
they seem . . . Cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse is having a
streak of bad luck. First her co-worker is killed, and no one seems
to care. Then she comes face-to-face with a beastly creature which
gives her a painful and poisonous lashing. Enter the vampires, who
graciously suck the poison from her veins (like they didn't enjoy
it). The point is: they saved her life. So when one of the
bloodsuckers asks for a favour, she obliges - and soon Sookie's in
Dallas, using her telepathic skills to search for a missing
vampire. She's supposed to interview certain humans involved, but
she makes one condition: the vampires must promise to behave, and
let the humans go unharmed. But that's easier said than done, and
all it takes is one delicious blonde and one small mistake for
things to turn deadly ... The Sookie Stackhouse books are
delightful Southern Gothic supernatural mysteries, starring Sookie,
the telepathic cocktail waitress, and a cast of increasingly
colourful characters, including vampires, werewolves and things
that really do go bump in the night. Readers love Living Dead in
Dallas: 'Another wonderful Sookie Stackhouse outing, fast-paced and
never flagging . . . Mystery, excitement, a bit of violence, some
steamy make-up sex and new additions to the eccentric and eclectic
cast' Goodreads reviewer, 'I managed to actually bloody myself (!)
by biting the inside of my cheek to keep from laughing out loud . .
. This was much funnier than the first one' Goodreads reviewer,
'The Southern Vampire series mixes Louisiana easy southern manners
with humour and supernatural creatures of all sorts. I like the
vibe of the series' Goodreads reviewer, 'Another super entertaining
read; combining fantasy, action, romance and mystery that you'll
find difficult to put down' Goodreads reviewer, 'A fast-paced,
suspenseful, action-packed plot sending Sookie to Dallas and
smack-dab in the middle of (another) vampire underworld' Goodreads
reviewer,
As a person with so few living relatives, Louisiana cocktail
waitress Sookie Stackhouse really hated to lose one. But she never
guessed that it would be her cousin Hadley--a consort of the
Vampire Queen of New Orleans. After all, technically speaking,
Hadley was already dead. And now, as unexpected heir to Hadley's
estate, Sookie discovers the inheritance definitely comes with a
risk.
Someone doesn't want Sookie looking too deeply into Hadley's
past--or for that matter, Hadley's possessions. And they're
prepared to do anything in their power to stop her. But who? The
range of suspects runs from the Rogue Weres who reject Sookie as a
friend of the Pack to the Vampire Queen herself, who could be
working through a particularly vulnerable subject--Sookie's first
love, Bill.
Whoever it is, they're definitely dangerous--and Sookie's life
is definitely on the line...
With HBO's launching of an all-new show, "True Blood," based on
the Southern Vampire novels, the demand for Charlaine Harris and
Sookie Stackhouse is bigger than ever.

Blood."

Join Harper Connelly as she uncovers the secrets - and bodies -
buried deep in this paranormal mystery series from bestselling
author Charlaine Harris. Harper Connelly has what you might call a
strange job: she finds dead people. She can sense the final
location of a person who's passed, and share their very last
moment. Harper and her stepbrother Tolliver have become experts at
getting paid and getting out of town fast - because people have a
funny habit of not really wanting to know the truth. At first, the
small Ozarks town of Sarne seems like no exception. The pair have
been hired by local police to find a missing girl. But the secrets
of her death - and the secrets of the town - are buried deep enough
that even Harper's special ability can't uncover them. With
hostility welling up, she and Tolliver want nothing more than to be
on their way. But then another woman is murdered. And the killer's
not finished yet. . . 'Harris delivers a knuckle-gnawing tale . . .
[that] will challenge the most jaded mystery buffs' Publishers
Weekly
DEAD EVER AFTER marked the end of the Sookie Stackhouse novels - a
series that garnered millions of fans and spawned the hit HBO
television show TRUE BLOOD. It also stoked a hunger that will never
die... A hunger to know what happened next. With characters
arranged alphabetically - from the Ancient Pythoness to Bethany
Zanelli - bestselling author Charlaine Harris takes fans into the
future of their favourite residents of Bon Temps and environs.
You'll learn how Michele and Jason's marriage fared, what happened
to Sookie's cousin Hunter, and whether Tara and JB's twins grew up
to be solid citizens. This coda provides the answers to your
lingering questions - including details of Sookie's own
happily-ever-after... The book will feature extensive interior art
by acclaimed Sookie artist Lisa Desimini, including a Sookieverse
Alphabet, colour endpapers, and several full-page black and white
interior illustrations.
There's a reckoning on the way ... ... and Sookie has a knack for
being in trouble's way; not least when she witnesses the
firebombing of Merlotte's, the bar where she works. Since Sam
Merlotte is known to be two-natured, suspicion immediately falls on
the anti-shifters in the area. Sookie suspects otherwise, but
before she can investigate something else - something even more
dangerous - comes up. Sookie's lover Eric Northman and his 'child'
Pam are plotting something in secret. Whatever it is, they seem
determined to keep Sookie out of it; almost as determined as Sookie
is to find out what's going on. She can't sit on the sidelines when
both her work and her love life under threat - but as she's
gradually drawn into their plans Sookie finds the situation is
deadlier than she could ever have imagined.
Harper Connelly faces her first serial killer in the third
paranormal mystery from bestselling author Charlaine Harris. Harper
Connelly was struck by lightning as a teenager - now she can find
dead people and uses her special talent to make a living. Hired to
locate a missing boy, Harper and her stepbrother Tolliver head to
Doraville, North Carolina. But the truth is far worse than they
feared. Numerous teenaged boys have disappeared from Doraville over
the years. All unlikely runaways. All calling for Harper. She soon
finds them - eight bodies, buried in the half-frozen ground. All
Harper wants is to collect her fee and leave town before she's
caught in the media storm. But then she's attacked, and learns far
more than she cares to about the long-hidden secrets of Doraville.
Knowledge that makes her next in line to end up in an ice-cold
grave. . . 'Harris delivers a knuckle-gnawing tale . . . [that]
will challenge the most jaded mystery buffs' Publishers Weekly on
Grave Sight
Harper Connelly's past comes back to haunt her in the final
gripping supernatural mystery from bestselling author Charlaine
Harris. Taking a break from investigating, Harper and Tolliver head
back to Texas, where they grew up - and her sister Cameron went
missing eight years ago. But when they arrive home, Tolliver's dad
arrives on the scene seeking forgiveness, and the police get a
tip-off that after all these years, Cameron's been spotted in a
mall. Soon, family secrets ensnare them both and Harper finally
discovers what happened to her missing sister so many years before.
And what she finds out will change her world forever. . . 'Harris

most jaded mystery buffs' Publishers Weekly on Grave Sight
Sunday Times bestseller Charlaine Harris returns at last to her fan
favourite Aurora Teagarden series with a brand new mystery
Librarian Aurora Teagarden is basking in the news of her pregnancy
when disaster strikes her small town: four children, including her
fifteen-year-old brother, Philip, have vanished from the school
football field. What's even more worrisome is the dead body found
at their last known location. While the local police comb the
county for the missing children, Aurora and her new husband, true
crime writer Robin Crusoe, begin their own investigation. Could the
two incidents have something to do with a group of school bullies?
Are Aurora's father's gambling debts related to the disappearance
of her brother? Or could it be that Philip himself, new to town and
relatively unknown, is the one responsible? With Christmas
approaching, Aurora is determined to find her brother . . . if he's
still alive. 'Aurora Teagarden is back! Newcomers to the series as
well as rejoicing long-time readers should leap at the chance to
catch up with Aurora.' G.M. Malliet, award-winning author of the
St. Just and Max Tudor mysteries
