  The Thousand-Year Spy opens in 1944 London, where, as Operation OVERLORD looms, the British Secret Service devises an audacious scheme: the false-flag recruitment of a German admiral who secretly is a communist. There isn’t much time. The admiral will be approachable only during the brief window when he travels to neutral Sweden at the head of a Nazi delegation. For the daring gambit to succeed, the British first must borrow from the Americans a linguistically brilliant young analyst, Linnea Thorsell, setting in motion her rigorous preparations, infiltration, and the ultimate showdown in Stockholm. The Thousand-Year Spy serves up a precarious foray into deception that will enthrall fans of John Le Carré and Alan Furst.

  A short satirical thriller from bestselling author Freida McFadden.  
  My husband is dead.  
  I attended his funeral. I watched his casket be lowered six feet into the ground. (Actually, it may have been only five feet, but that still seems like more than enough.) And then we ate an array of finger sandwiches and deviled eggs and miniature beef wellingtons that cost more than my first car.  
  My point is, Grant is gone. And so are all his many, many deep, dark secrets which I never really ever bothered to ask him about. He is never coming back.  
  So why do I still see his face everywhere I go?  
  The Widow's Husband's Secret Lie is an utterly addictive, unputdownable, nail-biting, absolutely gripping psychological thriller novella with a shocking, breathtaking, heartstopping, spine-chilling twist that you won't see coming, will leave you stunned, and will literally have you picking your jaw up off the floor and bringing it to the nearest hospital for major facial reconstructive surgery.

  The streets of East London teem with different languages, cultures and religions. Private investigators Lee Arnold and Mumtaz Hakim are well-versed in the community's tensions, the sad day-to-day reality that includes the desecration of graves at Plashet Jewish cemetery in East Ham. However, the destruction of these final resting places leads to a disturbing discovery - one of the damaged coffins does not contain human remains, but instead a sculpture of a man made of clay. This so-called 'golem', a term from Jewish myth given to a figure brought to life by supernatural means, proves intriguing to Arnold and Hakim, even more so when it is stolen in an armed raid from a police storage facility, leaving a man dead in its wake. The case leads the pair into the past in London and Prague, and onto the trail of a jewel worth killing for.

  In June 2021, Sarah Walker, a meticulous FBI accountant, is handed a seemingly simple assignment in Colorado just before her vacation. Aboard Flight 382 from New York to Denver, disaster strikes when both engines explode shortly after takeoff. Miraculously, Sarah survives the crash, the sole survivor of 160 passengers, only to discover the horrifying truth: the crash was no accident, but a meticulously planned sabotage by the very agency she served. The botched explosion, intended to leave no trace, has instead left a witness – her.  
  Haunted by the fiery carnage and hunted by her former colleagues, Sarah embarks on a perilous journey across continents. From the deceptive tranquility of Germany, where a calculated romance with FBI spy Albert Hoffman crumbles into deadly betrayal, to the brutal confines of an American prison, and finally to the vibrant but precarious streets of Haiti, Sarah is relentlessly pursued. As she uncovers the FBI's dark secrets – a web of corruption and abuse of power that reaches the highest levels – she must use all her skills and resilience to expose the truth and survive, even if it means sacrificing everything. But the FBI's reach is long, and their secrets are worth killing for, leading Sarah to a tragic final confrontation where she utters, "This is the end..." before taking her own life.
