The Last Raven

Summary

The downing of a Russian military plane has dangerous global consequences in this spy thriller from the New York Times–bestselling “master of suspense” (The Pittsburgh Press).   Spymaster Sir Kenneth Aubrey thinks operative Patrick Hyde is dead.

In Want of a Knife - A...

Nancy Warren

Is Jane Austen the newest member of the Vampire Book Club?
What more could a diehard fan ask for? Except that Jane is undead and unamused…
To bookshop owner and witch Quinn Callahan’s delight, Jane Austen shows up for the late-night Vampire Book Club in Ballydehag, Ireland. Quinn’s thrilled and aching to ask her favorite author all the questions every rabid reader has about Jane's books, especially Pride and Prejudice. But Jane isn't in Ballydehag on a social call. She’s on a mission to stop the latest movie version of her most famous book from being made. Having Pride and Prejudice turned into a pornographic film is too much for the undead author to bear.
Dermott Lynch ditched Ballydehag seventeen years ago for the bright lights of Hollywood, leaving behind at least one broken heart and some very bad feelings. Now, he’s back, flashy and full of himself, wowing the townsfolk, and scouting locations for his movie, though it's obvious he’s never read a single page of Pride and Prejudice.
While excitement ripples through the locals at the prospect of having a movie shot in a village that doesn’t see much excitement (in daylight, anyway), the vampires living at Devil’s Keep are far from impressed. They prefer to keep Ballydehag quiet and remote. And Dermott Lynch could ruin it all.
Quinn, Jane, Lochlan Balfour, and his fellow vampires are determined to block this unsavory character from besmirching the classic novel. But as dark feelings grow, rather than a porno, the movie could end up being a murder mystery.

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre

B. Traven

First published in 1935, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is Traven's most famous and enduring work, the dark, savagely ironic, and riveting story of three down-and-out Americans hunting for gold in Sonora. 
What people have to say about the book:  
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Brilliant, radical, underrated, economically written in every sense of the word. I'm a big fan of the movie and I enjoyed the book even more.  
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It's a must-read for lovers of crime novels of both the mystery & detective version and westerns. 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A suspenseful read with many exciting Adventures that make you never wan't to put it down. I suggest this book to readers of all ages. 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I find this story (both the book and the movie) truly horrifying in that it explores the depths of the human mind in terms of greed and conscience. These traits are expressed explicitly through Dobbs.
