  J. D. Storm is an ex-Army sniper, discharged after losing an eye in battle. Finally finding work at the illusive Desire Card—an unsavory organization that promises "any wish fulfilled for the right price"—he heaves a sigh of relief. But when those wishes become too immoral, J. D. quickly finds out that no one reneges on the boss, a powerful and eccentric madman known only as Clark Gable because of the realistic mask he wears, without paying a hefty price. 
   
   
   
  On the run, J. D. begins a white-knuckle cat-and-mouse chase that takes him northwest where he hides out with a former girlfriend and tries to scrounge up enough cash to flee the country. But with every second that passes by, Gable's other masked operatives are closing in. 
   
   
   
  Soon, J. D. discovers just how widespread the organization's contacts are—no longer knowing who he can trust. Rather than running, J. D. decides that his best shot is to take out the head of the snake. After all, the hunted must become the hunter if he has any hope of surviving. 
   
   
   
  Ingeniously plotted and filled with twists and turns, Prey No More follows those indebted to this sinister organization—where the ultimate price is the cost of one's soul.

  I've waited twenty years to kill you... 
   
  Two decades ago, something terrible happened. The survivors scattered. The guilty walked free. Now Ada MacGullach is returning to Castle Brora – her beloved Scottish Highland retreat – to renew her vows with her husband Del in front of their closest friends and family. Nestled among fifteen-thousand acres of ancient moorland and mist-shrouded forest, it should be the perfect celebration: old friends, fine whisky and years of marriage honoured in style. 
   
  But old friends carry old secrets. And not everyone who turns up has been invited. 
   
  Someone has travelled many miles to be here, carrying a twenty-year grudge and a hunger for vengeance that time has sharpened. As the Highland mist rolls in and cuts Brora off from the rest of the world, Ada will begin to understand that the people closest to her are not who she thought they were. 
   
  But then again, neither is she… 
   
  A darkly addictive thriller for fans of The Hunting Party and Big Little Lies – a story of dangerous marriages, hidden secrets and a weekend celebration that becomes something sinister. Once you start, there's no leaving early!

  From the Collins Crime Club archive, the sixth Inspector French novel by Freeman Wills Crofts, once dubbed ‘The King of Detective Story Writers’. 
  A MURDER MYSTERY WITHOUT A CLUE 
  When Sir John Magill, the wealthy Irish industrialist, fails to show up at his home town on a well-publicised visit, neither his family nor the Belfast police can explain his disappearance. Foul play is suspected when his bloodstained hat is discovered, and Scotland Yard is called in. With his characteristic genius for reconstruction, Inspector French evolves a gruesome theory about what happened to the elderly man, but his reputation – and that of Scotland Yard – will depend on finding out who was responsible . . . 
  In this cosy, traditional narrative, Freeman Wills Crofts once again proves why he is considered one of the best in the realm of procedural thrillers. Inspector French's methodical approach to solving the mystery is a highlight of this top-rated fiction. 
  For fans of Ethel Lina White (PUT OUT THE LIGHT), Dorothy L. Sayers (Clouds of Witness by Dorothy L. Sayers), Elly Griffiths (The Last Remains), George Bellairs (Toll the Bell for Murder), and Edward Marston (Murder in Transit).

  Plus the ghost of Frankenstein (Victor, not his monster) is lurking in the Archives and he's on the verge of a major scientific breakthrough. Maybe he can resurrect Francie's love life, too . . . 
   
  Jump back into the story and spend some time with Francie, Kong, and the gang as they catch the killer and send another one of the cursed books back from whence it came.
