Set in a New York apartment building, Fourteen Days is an irresistibly propulsive novel with an unusual twist: each character in this diverse, eccentric cast of neighbours has been secretly written by a different, major literary voice - from Margaret Atwood and John Grisham to Emma Donoghue and Celeste Ng.
One week into lockdown, the tenants of a run-down apartment building in Manhattan have begun to gather on the rooftop each evening and tell stories. With each passing night, more and more neighbours gather, bringing chairs and milk crates and overturned pails. Gradually the tenants – some of whom have barely spoken to each other before now – become real neighbours.
A dazzling, heartwarming and ultimately surprising narrative, Fourteen Days is an ode to the power of storytelling and human connection.
Includes writing from: Charlie Jane Anders, Margaret Atwood, Jennine Capo Crucet, Pat Cummings, Joseph Cassara, Angie Cruz, Sylvia Day, Emma Donoghue, Dave Eggers, Diana Gabaldon, Tess Gerritsen, John Grisham, Maria Hinojosa, Mira Jacob, Erica Jong, CJ Lyons, Celeste Ng, Tommy Orange, Mary Pope Osborne, Doug Preston, Alice Randall, Caroline Randall, Ishmael Reed, Roxana Robinson, Nelly Rosario, James Shapiro, Hampton Sides, R.L.

Since the days of conquistador Hernan Cortes, rumours have
circulated about a lost city of immense wealth hidden deep in the
Honduran interior. Indigenous tribes speak of ancestors who fled
there to escape the Spanish invaders, and warn the legendary city
is cursed: to enter it is a death sentence. They call it the Lost
City of the Monkey God. In 1940, swashbuckling journalist Theodore
Morde returned from the rainforest with hundreds of artefacts and
an electrifying story of having found the City - but then committed
suicide without revealing its location. Three quarters of a century
later, bestselling author Doug Preston joined a team of scientists
on a groundbreaking new quest. In 2012 he climbed aboard a
single-engine plane carrying a highly advanced, classified
technology that could map the terrain under the densest rainforest
canopy. In an unexplored valley ringed by steep mountains, that
flight revealed the unmistakable image of a sprawling metropolis,
tantalizing evidence of not just an undiscovered city but a lost
civilization. To confirm the discovery, Preston and the team
battled torrential rains, quickmud, plagues of insects, jaguars,
and deadly snakes. They emerged from the jungle with proof of the
legend... and the curse. They had contracted a horrifying,
incurable and sometimes lethal disease. Suspenseful and shocking,
filled with history, adventure and dramatic twists of fortune, The
Lost City of the Monkey God is the absolutely true, eyewitness
account of one of the great discoveries of the twenty-first
century.

New York Times bestselling authors Preston & Child return with
their new thriller featuring fan favourites Nora Kelly and Corrie
Swanson. When a billionaire invites her to lead his excavation of
the infamous Roswell landing site, Nora Kelly, now jobless,
reluctantly agrees to visit. When preliminary scans of the area
reveal a suspected Native American burial site, Nora takes a closer
look. But this is no indigenous burial site. It's a crime scene.
Nora uncovers two dead bodies, one with a bullet hole in its skull.
Dead bodies mean this is a case for the FBI, and Nora knows just
the person to investigate: Special Agent Corrie Swanson. As Corrie
and Nora dig deeper into the mystery, they will uncover more
questions than answers. And the truth they seek will be even
stranger than the conspiracy it hides behind... Reviewers on Diablo
Mesa: 'Down-to-earth action tackles an otherworldly mystery in this
devilishly plausible yarn.' Kirkus
Grace Ozmian, missing daughter of a tech billionaire has been found.
Most of her, anyway. Her head is still missing.
Lieutenant CDS Vincent D'Agosta knows his investigation will attract fierce media scrutiny, so he's delighted when his old acquaintance FBI Special Agent A.X.L. Pendergast is assigned to the case.
But neither man is prepared for what lies ahead. A diabolical presence is haunting New York City and Grace is only the first of many victims to be murdered... and decapitated.
As mass hysteria sweeps the city, it will take all of Pendergast's skill and strength to unmask this most dangerous foe ― let alone survive to tell the tale.

book in a series featuring archaeologist Nora Kelly and FBI Agent
Corrie Swanson. After a shoot-out leaves a senior FBI agent gravely
wounded, Corrie Swanson finds herself under investigation. Her
supervisor assures her she's not to blame and the black mark on her

discovered in a hidden enclave at High Lonesome, a long-abandoned
New Mexico ghost town. Quickly out of her depth, she realizes she
needs the help of her old enemy, archaeologist Nora Kelly. The two
women soon uncover a startling truth: the deceased was poisoned,
and died clutching a priceless artifact. Can the two women solve
the mystery of the scorpion's tail? Or will they - like others
before them - die in the attempt?

Pendergast--the world's most enigmatic FBI Special Agent--returns
to New York City to investigate a murderous cult.
William Smithback, a "New York Times" reporter, and his wife Nora
Kelly, a Museum of Natural History archaeologist, are brutally
attacked in their apartment on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
Eyewitnesses claim, and the security camera confirms, that the
assailant was their strange, sinister neighbor--a man who, by all
reports, was already dead and buried weeks earlier. While Captain
Laura Hayward leads the official investigation, Pendergast and
Lieutenant Vincent D'Agosta undertake their own private--and
decidedly unorthodox--quest for the truth. Their serpentine journey
takes them to an enclave of Manhattan they never imagined could
exist: a secretive, reclusive cult of Obeah and vodou which no
outsiders have ever survived.
An FBI agent, rotting away in a high-security prison for a murder
he did not commit...
His brilliant, psychotic brother, about to perpetrate a horrific
crime...
A young woman with an extrodinary past, on th edge of a violent
breakdown...
An ancient Egyptian tomb with an enigmatic curse, about to be
unveiled at a celebrity-studded New York gala...
Memento Mori
In downtown Manhattan, workers on a construction site breach a long-forgotten basement, unearthing a charnel house: thirty-six bodies, systematically dismembered and carefully immured at least 130 years ago.
It's just the kind of case to intrigue the unorthodox and enigmatic FBI agent Aloysius X.L. Pendergast. But he's not the only interested party. Soon after the bodies are discovered a killer strikes. Their victim's corpse bears the same precise mutilations as the bodies in the basement.
The nightmare has begun. Again.

life' - DAVID BALDACCIAgent Pendergast faces his most unexpected
challenge yet when bloodless bodies begin to appear in Savannah,
GA, in this next installment of the #1 NYT-bestselling series. A
LEGENDARY HEIST. Fifty years ago, Flight 305 was hijacked en route
from Portland to Seattle. The hijacker, D.B. Cooper, collected a
ransom of $200,000 and disappeared into the night, never to be seen
again. A BRUTAL CRIME. In the ghost-haunted southern city of
Savannah, Georgia, a worrying spate of bodies has been found
completely drained of blood. Locals fear the infamous Savannah
Vampire has returned - or prompted a dangerous copycat. Faced with
such a gruesome and unusual case, the local police have no choice
but to call in the FBI. A CASE LIKE NO OTHER. As the mystery rises
along with the body count, Special Agent A.X.L. Pendergast and his
partner, Agent Coldmoon, will have to race to understand how these
murders are connected to the only unsolved skyjacking in American
history. Together, they uncover not just the answer... but an
unearthly evil beyond all imagining.
