  Not all prizes are gifts... 
  Special Agent Dr. Autumn Trent is relishing the moments after waking up next to Aiden Parrish when their romantic Sunday morning is cut short by a call from a friend. His niece has disappeared...along with two other teens in a picture-perfect Connecticut community in a case that's as perplexing as it is concerning. The teens are all strong students with privileged upbringings on the verge of graduating high school. Who would want to hurt them? And why? 
  More importantly...who’s next? 
  As the investigation expands, it soon becomes clear that there’s more going on in the seemingly idyllic town than anyone realizes—something loathsome and depraved—and the kids of those involved are paying the price for a prize none of them wanted. 
  When the puppeteer behind the scenes ups the ante, the situation grows deadly. How many will die before Autumn and the team take him down? 
  Autumn’s Prize, the eighth book in Mary Stone’s Autumn Trent Series, is a gripping and suspenseful peek into depravity that will make you think twice about accepting gifts.

  🧶 Yarn shop owner Pearl Purl's life is all about keeping things cozy—until the town's most disliked businessman is found strangled with a rare, hand-dyed yarn sold exclusively in her shop. With the police convinced they have an open-and-shut case against her, Pearl must cast on her own investigation to avoid being woven into a life sentence. Teaming up with her weekly knitting circle—a group of sharp-eyed seniors who notice everything—Pearl follows a tangled trail of clues. From dropped stitches that form a coded message to a suspiciously perfect cable knit pattern that doesn't match the victim's skill level, every loop and purl holds a secret. But as Pearl needles her way through the suspects, she uncovers a pattern of corruption that runs deeper than the town's annual sweater competition. With her business unraveling and the real killer still on the loose, Pearl must stitch together the evidence before she becomes the next casualty in a town where some secrets are better left buried under a warm afghan.

  A mass shooting. An amoral Romanian gangster. A Russian oligarch who claims to be an honest businessman, but isn't. 
   
   
   
  No one knows who was the target or why, but there are eight dead. The men seem the most likely, or could have it been one of the two women, the attractive Gillian Dickenson, or even the celebrity-obsessed Sal Maynard? 
   
   
   
  There's a gang war brewing, and if there are deaths, they don't care as long as it's not one of them. But to Detective Chief Inspector Isaac Cook, it's his area of London, and he needs to find out who killed the eight. 
   
   
   
  It's unpredictable, and initially, it had been the West Indian gangs that had held sway in the area. But then, a more vicious Romanian gangster had usurped them. And now he's being marginalized by the Russians. And their leader is the head of the most vicious Russian mafia organization, and he's got residency in England, as well as money and influence, the ear of those in power.

  Britain’s reigning “Queen of Crime” (The Scotsman), internationally bestselling and award-winning author Val McDermid has ensnared audiences worldwide for more than thirty years with her thrilling and masterfully plotted crime oeuvre. Now, in this radical, rip-roaring counternarrative drawing on the historical record, McDermid peels back the patriarchal prejudices of history and delivers an illuminating portrait of Shakespeare’s most famous villain, and the treacherous pursuit of ambition that made her legendary: Lady Macbeth. 
   
  A thousand years ago in an ancient Scottish landscape, a woman is on the run with her three companions—a healer, a weaver, and a seer. The men hunting her will kill her—because she is the only one who stands between them and their violent ambition. She is no lady: she is the first queen of Scotland, married to a king called Macbeth. As the net closes in, what unfurls is a tale of passion, forced marriage, bloody massacre, and the harsh realities of medieval Scotland. At the heart of it is one strong, charismatic woman, who survived loss and jeopardy to outwit the endless plotting of a string of ruthless and power-hungry men. Her struggle won her a country. But now it could cost her life. 
   
  Immersive and utterly riveting, Queen Macbeth is an electric reimagining of one of Shakespeare’s most celebrated tragedies and reaffirms McDermid as one of the preeminent writers of our day. 
   
  "A page-turning tale of adversity and adventure, laughter and love, death and defiance."—The Scotsman (UK)
