Beschreibung

The Riddle of the Sands: A Record of Secret Service is a patriotic British 1903 novel by Erskine Childers.
It is a novel that "owes a lot to the wonderful adventure novels of writers like Rider Haggard, that were a staple of Victorian Britain"; perhaps more significantly, it was a spy novel that "established a formula that included a mass of verifiable detail, which gave authenticity to the story – the same ploy that would be used so well by John Buchan, Ian Fleming, John le Carré and many others." Ken Follett called it "the first modern thriller."

    An undercover cop and a vigilante uncle are pitted against the human trafficking industry in River City. 
    Detective “Gus” Dow works deep undercover in the sex slave industry as a woman who buys and sells other young women. She's committed to her mission to bring the traffickers to justice but how long will that take? How much misery can she watch and still walk the line between duty and human decency? 
    “Bull” Porter blurs those lines when he finds out his niece is kidnapped. Rather than hunting in the wilds, he stalks his prey on the dirty streets of River City's underbelly where the hunted can turn the tables in an instant. How far will Bull go to save his niece? What lines will he cross? 
    When Gus and Bull collide in their battle to rescue the latest victims, the stakes escalate to include not only freedom and family, but also careers and life itself, hanging in the balance. Everything has a trade off and both Gus and Bull must decide what’s worth losing to save what's worth saving... if they can.

    “Delicious…I defy you to stop reading The Christmas Guest once you begin.” — New York Times Book Review 
    New York Times bestselling author Peter Swanson pens a spectacularly spine-chilling novella in which an American art student in London is invited to join a classmate for the holidays at Starvewood Hall, her family’s Cotswold manor house. But behind the holly and pine boughs, secrets are about to unravel, revealing this seemingly charming English village’s grim history. 
    Ashley Smith, an American art student in London for her junior year, was planning on spending Christmas alone, but a last-minute invitation from fellow student Emma Chapman brings her to Starvewood Hall, country residence of the Chapman family. The Cotswold manor house, festooned in pine boughs and crammed with guests for Christmas week, is a dream come true for Ashley. She is mesmerized by the cozy, firelit house, the large family, and the charming village of Clevemoor, but also by Adam Chapman, Emma’s aloof and handsome brother. 
    But Adam is being investigated by the local police over the recent brutal slaying of a girl from the village, and there is a mysterious stranger who haunts the woodland path between Starvewood Hall and the local pub. Ashley begins to wonder what kind of story she is actually inhabiting. Is she in a grand romance? A gothic tale? Or has she wandered into something far more sinister and terrifying than she’d ever imagined? 
    Over thirty years later the events of that horrific week are revisited, along with a diary from that time. What began in a small English village in 1989 reaches its ghostly conclusion in modern-day New York, many Christmas seasons later.

    When life gives you magic, murder charges, and mood swings—just add a dash of chaos. 
    I expected pregnancy to come with weird cravings and swollen ankles—not an arrest warrant and a murder mystery. But hey, there you have it. 
    Marcus has been accused of killing a wereape from the New York pack, and the Gray Council authorities are ready to drag him to prison. But they’ve got the wrong guy, and I’ll do whatever it takes to prove it—even if it means confronting a killer, fending off cranky marshals, and dealing with magic that seems determined to betray me at the worst moments. 
    With my aunts at my side and my unpredictable powers fueled by my unborn kid, I’m diving headfirst into a tangled web of secrets, lies, and deadly magic. 
    The deeper I dig, the more I realize this isn’t just about clearing Marcus’s name. It’s about keeping my growing family safe.
