  A group of scientists and soldiers are hunted by mysterious enemies in a terrifying new climate thriller from the "Master of British SF" 
   
   
   
  Doctor Jasmine Marks is going back into hell. 
   
   
   
  The Hygrometric Dehabitation Region, or the "Zone," is a growing band of rainforest on the equator, where the heat and humidity make it impossible for warm-blooded animals to survive. A human being without protection in the Zone is dead in minutes. 
   
   
   
  Twenty years ago, Marks went into the rainforest with a group of researchers led by Doctor Elaine Fell, to study the extraordinary climate and see if it could be used in agriculture. The only thing she learned was that the Zone was no place for people. There were deaths, and the program was cut short. 
   
   
   
  Now, they're sending her back in. A plane crash, a rescue mission, a race against time and the environment to bring out the survivors. But there are things Marks's corporate masters aren't telling her. The Zone keeps its secrets, and so does Doctor Fell . . .

  What are you capable of? Go through a life-changing, tragic event, and ask yourself that same question. Could you lie, steal, cheat? Betray someone you love, hide secrets from the one person you are supposed to share everything with? Could you take justice into your own hands? Could you kill? Melany Polk had to ask herself these same questions. She had built the perfect life with her husband, Richard. Together they are raising two teenagers in the suburbs of Plano, Texas. While Richard’s work calls for him to be away from home a lot, Melany is allowed the privilege of being a stay-at-home mom. She spends her days catering to her children, taking strolls with the family dog, and gossiping with her elderly pothead neighbor. At the age of 43, she is in the best shape of her life. After taking up running as a hobby, she has a routine of fitting in a run around her neighborhood every night before bed. She considers herself a good, positive person. The people in her life would say the same. She could never answer yes to any of the questions above, or at least the old Melany couldn’t. On the evening of March 4, a single act of brutal violence almost ends Melany's life during her nightly run. She now suffers through a grueling recovery. Melany struggles to find herself but is failing miserably. Every time she starts to feel like herself again, something is thrown in her path to remind her that he’s still out there. Lost and spiraling out of control, she has begun to withdraw from life. The disfigured face and body she now carries are starting to create a personality of its own. She wonders if she will ever be able to move on. The monster that did this to her remains a mystery; she fears he may come back so he can finish her off. Melany may seem like a timid housewife to some. The monster changed something inside her. She is no longer the innocent woman from before. After so much has been taken from her, she decides it’s time to take some of it back. With a taste for revenge, darkness takes over her. It has her doing things she thought she’d never be capable of.

  ❄️ Winter enthusiast and coffee shop owner Hazel Frost is hosting the annual Snowflake Festival in her cozy mountain town when a prominent local businessman is found impaled by a giant icicle outside her café. The police write it off as a tragic winter accident, but Hazel's sharp eyes catch details that suggest otherwise—the icicle was perfectly positioned to fall, and the victim had just threatened to sell half the town to a resort developer. With a blizzard trapping everyone in town, Hazel teams up with the handsome new meteorologist and her loyal golden retriever to investigate. Using her knowledge of winter weather patterns and small-town dynamics, she uncovers a web of frozen grudges and cold-hearted schemes.

But as the temperature plummets, Hazel realizes the killer is still among them—and the next victim might be left out in the cold permanently.

  The Adventure of the Tall Man

  When searching through Conan Doyle's papers, Hesketh Pearson, a biographer of his, came across a plan for an unwritten story. As Richard Lancelyn Green notes, "there is no evidence to show that it is by [Conan Doyle] and strong internal evidence to suggest that it's not". Various authors have attempted to complete the story (named "The Adventure of the Tall Man" by Peter Haining) and put it alongside the canon. Some are very close to Doyle's plot, others including variations. However no 'official' completion has been made.
