Summary

True Detective meets X-Files in the first installment of the Luke McWhorter series 
		 
Nine physicists are dead. The medical examiner has determined that the victims died from drinking coffee laced with rat poison. The owner of the house, Professor Thaddeus Huntgardner, isn’t suspected, but his claim that a piece of the debris from Roswell’s 1947 UFO crash was hidden in Flagler might be true. Enter Luther “Luke” Stephens McWhorter, a Yale Divinity School–educated West Texas sheriff with all the right questions.
		 
Is the fragment real? If so, who is trying to locate it? And what has fueled the byzantine activities of Abbot County’s two secret societies for the past 70 years? Working with FBI agent and girlfriend, Angie Steele, Sheriff Luke begins to put together all the pieces and come to understand the connection between seemingly unrelated phenomena.

    With nowhere left to run—where will you go? 
Most of the world’s population is either dead or dying from a virus that looks a lot like the one Bree and Nate tried to destroy—and not all of them remain dead. Chased by hordes of zombies, they flee the city with what remains of their merry band of miscreants. But even when most of them survive the first day, they are far from safe—because there is no safe place left. The fight for survival forces them to become resourceful, and soon they realize that the undead might not be their only problem. In this new world, it’s each man or woman out for themselves—and just because someone has a pulse doesn’t necessarily mean they make a good ally.  
Yet there is hope—a bunker in Wyoming, outfitted with weapons and food, and above all else, defensible shelter for the winter. Can they survive the two-thousand-miles trip across the country with nothing but the clothes on their back and what they can scavenge along they way? This is not the kind of challenge that Bree ever imagined she would have to face, but she’s determined to survive—even if that means to learn how to on the job.

    A spellbinding, gothic tale of romance, betrayal, and murder in an English country manor by a “natural storyteller” (Ruth Rendell).   1929. Upon receipt of an unexpected inheritance, small-time crook Horace Butterfield purchases Crossways Lodge, a large house in rural Essex, and sets about turning it into his dream home. Buying an enormous antique chandelier in order to enhance his brand-new ballroom, he is intrigued by the dealer’s story behind its provenance: A young woman who lost all her money in the Wall Street Crash and was forsaken by her lover is said to have hanged herself from it. For the next five years, Horace enjoys telling the story at every party he hosts.   But then Horace’s marriage collapses when he embarks on an ill-advised affair with a pretty young fortune-hunter—an affair which is destined to lead to murder and suicide.   Over the next two decades, tragedy, violence, and heartbreak befall all who move into Crossways Lodge—from bright-eyed young newlyweds to hardened soldiers billeted there during WWII. Is the house really cursed? And who is the mysterious, shadowy young woman seen lurking in the ballroom?   “Gothic suspense similar to the presence of the mad wife in Jane Eyre. Readers will especially enjoy the historical and decorative details.” —Booklist

    One of the premiere drama programs of the Golden age of Radio, Suspense was subtitled “radio’s outstanding theater of thrills”. The protagonist was usually a normal person suddenly dropped into a bizarre or threatening situation; solutions were “withheld until the last possible second” and evildoers were usually punished in the end.
