Library of the Dead: (originally Published As Secret Of The Seventh Son) (Will Piper #1)
by Glenn CooperOriginally published as Secret of the Seventh Son.Assigned to the high-profile "Doomsday" serial killer case, FBI agent Will Piper is hitting dead end after dead end. The victims seem to have nothing in common: age, background, or even the way they die. All that connects them is a postcard each received in the mail announcing his or her date of death—all sent from Las Vegas, where a brilliant computer scientist leads a double life. Just when agent Piper finds a credible lead, he's removed from the case. Continuing the investigation on his own, he must outwit a ruthless team of covert operatives from Area 51 protecting the government's greatest secret. From a medieval monastery to a cutting-edge government laboratory, Library of the Dead delivers a richly detailed, thought-provoking exploration of fate, predestination, and the choices we make in life.

by Charlotte LinkDos víctimas, la misma arma homicida, ningún motivo.¿El crimen perfecto? Justo antes de incorporarse a la policía de North Yorkshire, la detective Kate Linville decide aprovechar su último fin de semana libre para ir al spa que sus compañeros de Scotland Yard le han regalado en su despedida. Kate está sentada en el tren, de camino a su destino, cuando aparece una chica perseguida por un hombre con una pistola. La rápida intervención de la detective desvía la trayectoria de la bala, pero el desconocido huye. Días después, una profesora tiene un accidente con su bicicleta de montaña por culpa de un alambre colocado en el camino. La joven cae al suelo y, posteriormente, se oye un disparo. El examen de los cartuchos incautados en ambos sucesos demuestra que el arma utilizada es la misma. La policía está convencida de que los dos incidentes están relacionados y que incluso podrían ser obra de la misma persona, pero estas dos mujeres no se conocían, no existe ningún vínculo aparente entre ellas. ¿O sí?

Right now, both women are dealing with issues of trust. For Jessie, it’s the man she’s soon to marry. Tipped off that he’s cheating on her, she wants Carlotta to tail him. No sooner does Carlotta get a track on the likely cad, than Jessie is killed by a hit-and-run driver. But when the accident is ruled a homicide, Carlotta discovers that Jessie has being lying about everything—including her name and her fiancé. But it’s the reason for roping Carlotta into the deception that has the sleuth on edge. Because Carlotta’s the number one suspect in the murder.

I thoroughly enjoyed the result: a page-turning Texas gothic."--Lisa Brackmann, author of GetawayFrom the Trade Paperback edition.
Lie Still: A Novel of Suspense
by David FarrisA young doctor gets caught up with the wrong woman and races to save lives and his career in this debut medical thriller.In a sleepy, small-town Arizona hospital, a thirteen-year-old boy lies in a coma after inexplicably suffering a cardiac arrest. His doctors are perplexed. Although emotionally disturbed Henry Rojelio was a frequent visitor to the emergency room—often for bouts of asthma, but usually just for attention—no one ever anticipated a battle with death.Surgical resident Malcolm Ishmail began his medical career months before at a busy Phoenix hospital—a far cry from the small ER deep in the silent heart of the desert, where Henry Rojelio lies. There, Malcolm fell into a secret, exhausting affair with one of his professors, Dr. Mimi Lyle, a beautiful, charismatic brain surgeon who had subtle difficulties in the operating room. In a moment of weakness “Dreamy Mimi” confessed to him her failings as a neurosurgeon; Malcolm reported her to his superiors . . . and promptly lost his job.Now, miles away from Phoenix, Dr. Ishmail struggles to save his young asthmatic patient’s life and his future as a surgeon. And with little time and few clues to the cause of Henry Rojelio’s sudden collapse, the impressionable doctor wonders whether his former lover may have exacted a disturbing revenge. Rich in medical detail and written with stylish, razor-sharp action and dialogue, Lie Still is a gripping, emotional drama of human failings and devastating consequences that marks the debut of a remarkable new voice.
