Britain's Secret Intelligence Service has been compromised: A mole high in their ranks has been feeding national secrets to the Soviets. Undercover at a prominent ad agency, SIS agent Davina Graham has been tasked with the unenviable job of uncovering the traitor, who goes by the code name Albatross. Could it be Davina's boss, Brigadier Sir James White, a twenty-year SIS veteran, months away from retirement? Humphrey Grant, White's second-in-command, whose public persona conceals damning sexual secrets? Or John Kidson, the technocrat married to Davina's beautiful, pampered sister?

The Albatross
by Charlotte ArmstrongFrom “the mistress of day-lit terror”: A couple invites two indigent women into their Hollywood home—and lives to regret it (The New York Times). In a roadside Santa Clara motel, Tom and Esther Gardner wake up to an intruder lurching toward Esther’s bed in the dark. No one blames Tom for taking down the stranger with a single blow to the head—least of all the victim himself, an embarrassed real estate broker from Arcadia, too drunk to realize he’s stumbled into the wrong room. All is forgiven. Three days later, the poor man drops dead of a neglected head injury—leaving his wife, Audrey, and her invalid sister, Joan, penniless and desperate. Overcome with guilt, Tom and Esther make amends by welcoming the grateful and unexpectedly forgiving ladies into their home. It’s just for the time being, after all. It’s the least the couple can do. But as the “temporary” stay stretches into months, Esther starts to feel the dreadful weight of their good deed and suspects their freeloading guests are up to something. Audrey and Joan’s disquieting whispers are starting to sound conspiratorial, their stories aren’t adding up, and their smiles are beginning to curl with menace. Is it all in Esther’s overburdened imagination? Or is it terrifying reality? With eight novels and nearly two dozen short stories adapted for film and television, it’s no wonder Edgar Award–winning author Charlotte Armstrong is considered “the American queen of suspense novelists” (New York Telegraph).

The Albert Samson Mysteries Volume One: Ask the Right Question, The Way We Die Now, and The Enemies Within (The Albert Samson Mysteries)
by Michael Z. LewinA trio of thrilling cases for the Indianapolis private eye from the “fast, funny, and brilliant” three-time Edgar Award finalist (Wall Street Journal). Michael Lewin “has brains and style”—and so does his Indy gumshoe, Albert Samson, so relaxed he doesn’t even carry a gun. In these three mysteries collected in one volume, Samson uses his wits to solve some very seedy crimes (Los Angeles Times). Ask the Right Question: Private investigator Albert Samson gets a shake-up with his new client: sixteen-year-old Eloise Crystal is desperate to find her biological father. What the detective unearths is the kind of dirt that makes people do desperate things. Thrust into a moneyed clan of old secrets and killer deceptions, Samson discovers that the first lie may be Eloise’s. The Way We Die Now: When Vietnam veteran Ralph Tomanek is charged with manslaughter, Samson believes there’s more to the story. But why was a man with a history of PTSD hired as an armed guard in the first place? The answer is a dizzying case of blackmail that lands Samson on the wrong end of the gun. The Enemies Within: Samson’s new client is Bennett Willson, a struggling writer looking for justice. It’s a pretty glitzy case for the cheapest detective in Indianapolis: Strong-arm a big-time Broadway producer who allegedly stole Willson’s play. Unfortunately, Willson proves to be as pure as the Indianapolis slush. What he wants is revenge. For Samson, finding out why could mean the final curtain call. The recipient of a Mystery Masters Award, a Raymond Chandler Society Award, and a Maltese Falcon Society Award, Michael Lewin, “writes with style and sensibility and wit . . . He can frighten the reader, too” (Ross Macdonald).

On an upper floor of a plush, high-security building on Central Park West, an elegant man sits in the office of Dr. Anne Kramer, confessing to the heinous murder that has horrified the modern world. Randolf Sontime is renowned for his personal charm, and Dr. Kramer is fighting to keep from falling victim to it. For the first time in her life, she truly understands the meaning of the word "charisma." Not knowing that her own destiny is irrevocably tied to his, Anne Kramer listens to the story of Sontime's life."It began with the magic, you see. And so, perforce, must I." As a boy named Han at the House of Ra, an isolated oasis in the Egyptian desert of a far ancient time, Sontime lived in privilege. There the chosen were trained in the science of alchemy-magic, philosophy, miracles. Only two other initiates were as skilled as he: Akan, quiet and studious, a boy whose thirst for knowledge was matched only by his hunger for truth; and Nefar, beautiful and brilliant, a girl as filled with wonder and unfathomable ambition as Han himself. Together they discovered that in union, theirs was a power unmatched in the physical world.But even in the House of Ra, there were boundaries to be observed, knowledge that only the masters understood and feared. As the threesome's thirst for answers-and for each other-deepened, they were tempted by the dark arts that they had sworn to avoid. "Look at three magnificent youths who stand astride your world and scoff at the rules you must obey. . . . Look at us, and call us gods." Their power was palpable, their desire total-until the fateful moment when their alliance was forever damned, their gifts horribly corrupted.A seductive work that seethes with mystery and passion, The Alchemist hurtles readers back through time to an era when magic was sacred and the workings of the world lay in the hands of a few gifted, but tortured souls. In a stunning feat of unbridled imagination, Donna Boyd has created her most hypnotic novel to date.From the Hardcover edition.
The Alchemist
by Paulo Coelho Alan R. Clarke"My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky." Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams." Every few decades a book is published that changes the lives of its readers forever. The Alchemist is such a book. With over a million and a half copies sold around the world, The Alchemist has already established itself as a modern classic, universally admired. Paulo Coelho's charming fable, now available in English for the first time, will enchant and inspire an even wider audience of readers for generations to come. The Alchemist is the magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure as extravagant as any ever found. From his home in Spain he journeys to the markets of Tangiers and across the Egyptian desert to a fateful encounter with the alchemist. The story of the treasures Santiago finds along the way teaches us, as only a few stories have done, about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, above all, following our dreams.
