Summary

When Diana takes on a seemingly simple house-sitting job, she expects quiet nights and easy pay. But the eerie whispers in the dark and shadows that stretch too far tell a different story. Something sinister prowls the hallways, unseen but ever-present. As lost souls plead for release, Diana must uncover the truth buried within the walls—before she becomes trapped alongside them. Some jobs are far beyond ones pay grade… and this one might just cost Diana her life.

    According to the last words of a dying man, the Maltese Falcon was no mere legend: The fabulously jeweled golden bird really existed—still exists, in fact. And Ayesha Ryder is hot on its trail. Rumor says the Falcon conceals clues to the burial place of Harold II, the conquered Anglo-Saxon King of England—and to an artifact of astonishing significance that few besides Ryder would understand. 
     
     
      
    Hunted by Scotland Yard, MI5, and those who seek the Falcon to break up the United Kingdom, Ryder joins forces with Joram Tate, a mysterious librarian with a reputation for turning up things that don't want to be found. Soon Ryder and her handsome, erudite new companion are venturing through lost tombs and ancient abbeys, following a trail left ages ago by the Knights Templar. 
     
     
      
    Ryder knows she's close to a game-changing secret, hidden for a thousand years beneath an English castle. But with ruthless killers waiting in the wings, Ryder must go medieval—to defend her life, her country, and the world as we know it.

    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 . . .
