Gone in the Night

Joanna Schaffhausen

The fifth installment of the beloved Annalisa Vega series

Detective Annalisa Vega hasn’t forgiven her brother for his role in a murder, and he hasn’t forgiven her for turning him in, so she’s surprised when he asks her to visit him in prison. Turns out, he has a possible case for her: one of his fellow inmates, Joe Green, may be innocent of the murder that landed him behind bars.

Joe is doing hard time for killing his ex-wife’s lawyer, but an anonymous letter sent to the prison warns that the eyewitness in Joe’s trial made up her story. With her private investigation business foundering, Annalisa is desperate enough to start poking around into Joe’s meager case. She immediately finds two problems: One, the eyewitness definitely lied about what she saw the night of the murder, and two, Annalisa’s husband Nick was the cop who arrested Joe in the first place.

Faced with correcting Nick’s mistakes, Annalisa digs deeper into Joe’s past and discovers he has two ex-wives with nothing good to say about him. The women may have orchestrated an elaborate frame to put Joe in prison, but one wife has completely disappeared since then. Did Joe somehow kill her? Or is he the real victim? Annalisa’s search for the truth tests the bounds of her marriage, her family, and her own sense of justice. Meanwhile, a devious killer keeps sending men to a watery death in the vastness of Lake Michigan. If Annalisa doesn’t figure out the truth about Joe soon, her husband might be next.

The Shattered Ghost - To repair...

Joseph Pepe

A human soul is nothing more than a stat-sheet. Until it is violently erased. 
In the smog-choked fringes of a brutal industrial theocracy, Caleb Russo survives by following one rule: never look deeper than the procedure requires. Cursed with an invasive empathic Ledger-Sight, the disgraced surgeon repairs the broken stat-sheets of the desperately poor while keeping his own mental barricades firmly intact. 
Then a woman named Echo collapses on his clinic floor, bleeding out and entirely devoid of memories. When Caleb breaches his own rules and peers into her invisible architecture, he doesn't find a damaged Ledger. He finds a terrifying void. 
Echo's identity hasn't just been wiped—it has been systematically detonated to hide a lethal, state-sanctioned weapon. Now, with the ruthless Licensing Board Director initiating a district-wide purge to execute unregistered anomalies, Caleb is forced to make an impossible choice: hand Echo over to the Arbiter for permanent structural erasure, or commit the ultimate heresy by forging a new soul to hide her from the gods of the system. 
In Book 2 of the critically acclaimed The Consent of Monsters series, author Joseph Pepe delivers a pulse-pounding plunge into a dystopian LitRPG world where empathy is a fatal flaw, and the truth is paid for in blood. 
Return to the dark. The surgery has already begun.

Sierra 22

Chris Hunter

In 1944 an extraordinary event occurred that would captivate the intelligence agencies of the UK and US governments for decades to come. It was a journey neither government had experienced before or could ever have contemplated.

The event that had drawn both governments together was ruthlessly protected with such pragmatic and uncompromising determination that to date the secrecy of this joint operation had not been compromised. And so, a multi-billion-dollar operation had evolved over the intervening decades and was focussed on just one individual, Jamie Carter, who was presently living in Jersey.

Carter was unaware of what was about to unfold and powerless to change a thing.

In the coming days, both governments hoped to be able to establish just how Jamie's mobile phone, credit cards and cash had been recovered in Berlin shortly after the end second world war.
