  Who will be next? 
   
  When the body of a local talent show winner is discovered, on the eve of headlining Kilwinnoch’s annual Civic Week celebrations, it throws the festivities into chaos and threatens to tear the close-knit community apart. 
   
  For DCI Bone, the death is personal. Days earlier, he’d received a call from the victim, warning that she was about to be killed. He’d dismissed it as a hoax. 
   
  With threats of more to come, a town on edge, and a ruthless killer evading detection with ease, Bone knows from hard -worn experience that, in a case like this, one kill is never enough. 
  Set among the dramatic hills and glens of Scotland's Campsie Fells, The Killing Parade is the fourth book in a series of edge-of-your-seat crime mysteries that will keep you guessing right up to the nail-biting, heart-stopping climax. 
   
  Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, J.D. Kirk, Val McDermid and Stuart MacBride.

  The author of dozens of acclaimed novels including those in the Scudder and Keller series, Lawrence Block has long been recognized as one of the premier crime writers of our time. Now, the breathtaking skill, power, and versatility of this Grand Master are brilliantly displayed once again in a mesmerizing new thriller set on the streets of the city he knows and loves so well. 
  That was the thing about New York -- if you loved it, if it worked for you, it ruined you for anyplace else in the world. 
  In this dazzlingly constructed novel, Lawrence Block reveals the secret at the heart of the Big Apple. His glorious metropolis is really a small town, filled with men and women from all walks of life whose aspirations, fears, disappointments, and triumphs are interconnected by bonds as unbreakable as they are unseen. Pulsating with the lives of its denizens -- bartenders and hookers, power brokers and politicos, cops and secretaries, editors and dreamers -- the city inspires a passion that is universal yet unique in each of its eight million inhabitants, including:  
  John Blair Creighton, a writer on the verge of a breakthrough; 
  Francis Buckram, a charismatic ex–police commissioner -- and the inside choice for the next mayor -- on the verge of a breakdown; 
  Susan Pomerance, a beautiful, sophisticated folk-art dealer plumbing the depths of her own fierce sexuality; 
  Maury Winters, a defense attorney who prefers murder trials because there's one less witness; 
  Jerry Pankow, an ex-addict who has turned being clean into a living, mopping up after New York's nightlife; 
  And, in the shadows of a city reeling from tragedy, an unlikely killing machine who wages a one-man war against them all. 
  Infused with the raw cadence, stark beauty, and relentless pace of New York City, Small Town is a tour de force Block fans old and new will celebrate.

  It is 2028. President Trump has just finished his third term and is about to be elected to a fourth. America has become increasingly isolationist and xenophobic. Emboldened by the President’s support, the New American Party has gained power and become a controlling minority. Cloaking its policies in the increasing need for national security, the President and his new party work to remake America in the image they desire, focusing their efforts on personal freedoms and immigration. 
  St. Louis police officer Ryan Derrick struggles to remain true to his ideals as he sees the best of his country seeming to slip away. His wife Nathalie is a frequent target for the subtle machinations of the party, since she is both a journalist and a foreigner. When tragedy strikes the family, their battle for freedom becomes even more urgent. 
  Alexander Derrick is a California state senator caught up in the midst of an anti-federalist movement and trying desperately to ride the line of balance between remaining true to his country and to his own integrity. Leaned on heavily by the Governor, he becomes instrumental in guiding the state on its path toward reconciliation or secession. 
  An Unlikely Phoenix follows both brothers in their journey during a perilous alternative near-future. The story is punctuated by excerpts from a history book penned in 2081, giving glimpses of the prevailing view from the more distant future. 
  This novel is part near-future, sci-fi alternate history, part action, political crime thriller, part social and political commentary, and part satire, all the while exploring an alternative future in which white nationalism has risen from the ashes of history in the most unlikely of places—the United States of America.
