by Jeffery DeaverNumber one bestselling author and master of suspense Jeffery Deaver returns with the thirteenth Lincoln Rhyme thriller, which sees a crime go global...The only leads in a broad-daylight kidnapping are the account of an eight-year-old girl, some nearly invisible trace evidence and the calling card: a miniature noose left lying on the street.

Then the case takes a stranger turn: a recording surfaces of the victim being slowly hanged, his desperate gasps the backdrop to an eerie piece of music. The video is marked as the work of The Composer...Despite their best efforts, the suspect gets away. So when a similar kidnapping occurs on a dusty road outside Naples, Rhyme and Sachs don't hesitate to rejoin the hunt. But the search is now a complex case of international cooperation - and not all those involved may be who they seem. All they can do is follow the evidence, before their time runs out.(P)2017 Hodder & Stoughton Limited

The Burn Palace
by Stephen Dobyns"One of the best of the best...You can't ask for more than this book gives. I loved it." - Stephen King "An exquisitely unexpected, delightfully believable exploration of what normal looks like when it goes through the (evil) looking glass." --Oprah.com The sleepy community of Brewster, Rhode Island, is just like any other small American town. It's a place where most of its inhabitants will die blocks from where they were born; where gossip spreads like wildfire, and the big weekend entertainment is the inevitable fight at the local bar. But recently, something out of the ordinary--perhaps even supernatural--has been stirring. While packs of coyotes gather and a baby is stolen and replaced with a snake, a series of inexplicably violent acts confounds Detective Woody Potter--and inspires terror in the locals. A Richard Russo small-town tableau crossed with a Stephen King thriller, The Burn Palace is a darkly funny, twisted portrait of chaos and paranoia that keeps readers guessing until the final pages.

The Burning
by Jens LiljestrandLife goes on in the face of a climate crisis in this astonishing and unforgettable debut novel that follows four characters as they struggle to survive in a burning world. Even when the climate crisis escalates beyond our worst nightmares and people become refugees, the world keeps turning and life carries on as usual: teenaged love stories, marital collapses, identity crises, and revolts against hopeless parents continue to play out. Didrik is a forty-year-old media consultant whose misguided efforts to become the family hero render him a pathetic vision of masculine incompetence. Melissa is an influencer with a suitcase full of lost dreams after denying climate change for years. André is the nineteen-year-old loser son of an international sports star who uses the erupting violence around him to orchestrate his own personal vengeance on his negligent father. And Vilja is Didrik&’s teenaged daughter who steps into a leadership role in the face of adult ineptitude. &“Simultaneously nerve-wracking, astute, and consumedly entertaining&” (Sydsvenskan, Sweden) and through these four related stories, Even If Everything Ends eloquently illustrates a picture of a very near future that is at once extraordinary and entirely realistic.
The Burning
by Richard SnowTo Scott Keegan, a traveling salesman working his way through Minnesota during the hottest summer on record, Hinckley was no different from any other fair-sized lumber town. For Jim Root, aging locomotive engineer on the St. Paul & Duluth, it simply marked the halfway point on an increasingly difficult run. For lovely young Betty Langdon, it was half home, half prison. For ten-year-old Jemmy Stockholm it was a dull place to spend the summer, but the only place he knew. None of them -none of Hinckley's 2,000 people-knew the town was soon to be engulfed in a cataclysm that would forever change their lives. As the temperature continued to rise throughout that summer, a smoky haze hung over the dry forests of Pine County, Minnesota. The underbrush smoldered .. , and slowly the flames spread. Until early one September morning they ignited a raging wildfire. The tragedy of that day unfolds in Richard Snow's gripping new novel. Hundreds would die that afternoon as the fire storm swept through the town. And heroes would be born. Ordinary people would find themselves possessed of extraordinary courage as they fought to escape the inferno. THE BURNING: a novel that blazes with period adventure as it tells the true story of the men and women who battled a terrifying natural disaster.
