    While the world is busy holding its breath, Ishmael Weinberg is just trying to fix his fountain pen. 
    Ishmael has spent thirty years hiding in the thirteenth century. He writes about obscure kings and falconry while the modern world goes to hell on Twitter. He thinks he can outrun history by writing it. He is wrong. 
    A city he’d never heard of has become the only word that now matters. Wuhan. The status quo hasn’t just shifted. It has evaporated. While the President promises the virus will vanish like a miracle, Ishmael stares at the indicators on his phone. His daughter is a CNN stringer at ground zero in Japan. She stands on a pier in Yokohama. She watches the refrigerated trucks roar past with taped zippers. The air is the enemy. 
    Ishmael doesn’t trust the stable geniuses in Washington. He doesn’t trust the man on the news promising miracles. He trusts his wife, Deborah, and the emergency N95 masks she hid in a steel shed for an earthquake that never came. He trusts the doctor who gave him the only advice that matters. Don’t breathe. 
    A visceral political thriller and medical drama. 
    Don’t Breathe is an eerie and terrifying exploration of the moments when logic fails. It captures the horror of a father watching his child run toward a disaster he cannot stop. This is a story of domestic suspense and global collapse, anchored in the horrors of a society in freefall. The hiss of a radiator. The metallic reek of blood. The silence that precedes a coming storm. 
    For fans of realistic medical thrillers and political suspense. Discover why this story feels hauntingly familiar—and why, in the end, silence may be the only refuge.

    From bestselling indie thriller writer Natalie Barelli comes a new deliciously dark novel about a woman who married the man of her dreams, only for him to become her worst nightmare.Jodie always dreamed of being a housewife. And after a whirlwind romance, she marries renowned psychologist Dr. Roy Davies and moves into his perfect Beverly Hills home. But the fairy tale fades fast. Roy is distant, his friends view her as a gold-digger, and the house still reveres his late wife, Deborah, whose presence still looms over everyone and everything.
