Sinopse

The Paletti Notebook is an amazing collection of art and letters from the geniuses of the Renaissance: da Vinci, Michelangelo, Borgia, Savonarola, Machiavelli. It could be worth incalculable millions of Euros.
 
But what did Sandro Paletti really leave behind 500 years ago, and what else in that ancient collection, unearthed from an abbey in Florence in 2021, is so important that the governments of the United States, Great Britain, China and other major countries would go to such lengths to acquire it?
 
Now, the race is on to capture the portfolio. With the life of a young girl and the fate of nations hanging in the balance, can Darren Priest get to it before his adversaries?

    In a city that vibrates with restless energy, there are pockets of stillness where time seems to hold its breath. This is a narrative defined by the melancholic beauty of neon reflections on rain-slicked streets and the quiet solitude of an urban existence. Within these pages, the distance between the observer and the world is a deliberate choice, where clarity is often traded for a more comforting, softened perspective. The atmosphere is thick with the weight of memory and the steady hum of distant broadcasts, creating a sense of profound isolation amidst a crowded landscape. As the boundaries between indifference and involvement begin to thin, every subtle shift in light and every crackle of static carries an unspoken significance. This evocative exploration of the human condition invites readers into a world of quiet contemplation and lingering, atmospheric mystery.

    When a witness in a witness protection program is killed, U.S. Marshal Alexa Chase assumes it’s related to the case. But when she hits dead ends and the mystery becomes far more complex, she realizes a serial killer may be at work. What is his pattern? Can she connect the dots in time?“This is an excellent book… When you start reading, be sure you don’t have to wake up early!”—Reader review for The Killing GameThe Killing Place (An Alexa Chase Suspense Thriller—Book 6) is book #6 in a new series by mystery and suspense author Kate Bold, which begins with THE KILLING GAME (Book #1).Alexa Chase, 34, a brilliant profiler in the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, was too good at her job. Haunted by all the serial killers she caught, she left a stunning career behind to join the U.S. Marshals. As a Deputy Marshal, Alexa—fit, and as tough as she is brilliant—could immerse herself in a simple career of hunting down fugitives and bringing them to justice.But with her recent work a big success, the FBI and the Marshals have decided to make their joint-task force permanent. Alexa, reeling from her own traumatic past and her PTSD of hunting serial killers, has no choice: she will now have to work with an FBI partner she dislikes and hunt down serial killers whose jurisdiction intertwines with that of the U.S. Marshals. Alexa finds herself forced to confront the thing she dreads the most—entering a killer’s mind.  As Alexa dives deeper into the investigation, she realizes suspects are everywhere—and the clock is ticking. But who can really be trusted? All Alexa can do is rely on her brilliant skills to enter the killer’s twisted mind before he strikes again.A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured Deputy Marshal, the ALEXA CHASE series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.Future books in the series will be available soon.“This book moved very fast and every page was exciting.

    Friends don't let friends go to jail. 
    Everly Dupree's to-do list just got longer: clear her best friend's name, solve two murders, and send two ghosts into the light. All before happy hour. 
    When Patrea Evergreen is arrested for murder, Everly leaps into action—as if being haunted by psychic Davina Benet's uncooperative ghost wasn't irritating enough. 
    With zero suspects and even fewer clues, Everly hits a wall until town gossip Jober Peavey starts spreading the most ridiculous rumors Mooselick River has ever heard. But someone thought Jober should keep his mouth permanently shut—and now there's another body on the ground. 
    As Everly digs deeper, she unravels a tangled web of secrets that reaches into the heart of her sleepy town. With Patrea's freedom hanging in the balance and two chatty ghosts demanding justice, Everly finds herself racing against a ticking clock. 
    The closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous her investigation becomes. Now she must decide how far she's willing to go to save her friend—before she becomes the next victim in this deadly haunting season. 
    When the dead won't rest and the living won't talk, sometimes the most dangerous thing in town isn't the ghost haunting you—it's the truth.

    It was supposed to be a relaxing vacation in a small town. Now, they're on the run from religious fanatics. 
    When five friends are invited to a religious celebration in a small, isolated town, they are initially showered by the townsfolk with gifts and attention. As the days go by, however, it becomes clear that the community is not as innocuous as it initially presented itself. Mysterious, robed figures violently beat people who express different opinions, strange rituals take place in the church at night, and armed gunmen patrol the town perimeters – all under Prophet Martin’s orders. 
    What was supposed to be a relaxing trip for the outsiders turns into a struggle for survival, with the entire town zealously following Prophet Martin’s command – to find and kill the sinners.
