  A librarian with a mysterious past, a war hero with a secret, and the heist of a magic painting. THE LIBRARIAN OF CROOKED LANE is an intriguing new fantasy from C.J. Archer, the USA Today bestselling author of the Glass and Steele series. 
  Librarian Sylvia Ashe knows nothing about her past, having grown up without a father and a mother who refused to discuss him. When she stumbles upon a diary that suggests she’s descended from magicians, she’s skeptical. After all, magicians are special, and she’s just an ordinary woman who loves books. She seeks answers from a member of the most prominent family of magicians, but she quickly learns that finding the truth won’t be easy, especially when he turns out to be as artless as her, and more compelling and dangerous than books. 
  War hero Gabe is gifted with wealth, a loving family, and an incredible amount of luck that saw him survive four harrowing years of a brutal war without injury. But not all injuries are visible. Burying himself in his work as a consultant for Scotland Yard, Gabe is going through the motions as he investigates the theft of a magician-made painting. But his life changes when he unwittingly gets Sylvia dismissed from her job and places her in danger. 
  After securing her new employment in a library housing the world’s greatest collection of books about magic, Gabe and Sylvia’s lives become intwined as they work together to find both the painting and the truth about Sylvia’s past before powerful people can stop them.  
  But sometimes the past is better left buried…

  After a bad day at work, accountant Dave Smith has one too many at the bar. A seemingly normal traffic stop later that evening rips him away from his wife and kids and into servitude. He has been drafted into Megacorp Greenrock Solutions’ newest business venture. A core of mercenaries established to provide a service for the purpose of killing for profit. 
  These aren’t just any mercenaries. Greenrock built a lab to genetically enhance their assassins, giving them super-human strength and increased capacity for violence. Unknown to their captors, the enhancements also give them the ability to join their minds together into a collective. 
  Greenrock’s deeds have attracted the attention of law enforcement, however. There are a group of detectives putting the pieces together and closing in on Greenrock. 
  Dave and his band of enhanced conscripts are also using their shared mind to work out ways to free themselves. 
  The lab’s directors will use any means to protect their investments. In many ways they are more vile than the assassins they produce. 
  Is this a fight anyone can win?
