Sinopse

A Miami homicide detective closes in on a shattering secret in this police procedural from the Pulitzer Prize–winning “queen of crime” (USA Today).  Nominated for the Edgar Award for Best First Novel   What do a menacing housewife, a kinky bad girl, a shy child, and a cold-blooded killer have in common? Veteran Miami homicide detective Rick Barrish sets out for the answer as he investigates a series of seemingly unrelated murders in his own neighborhood and hunts down an elusive killer in a case that will hit closer to home than he ever expected.   From the national bestselling author of The Corpse Had a Familiar Face and the Britt Montero series, Nobody Lives Forever is “[a] hard-hitting police procedural . . . Murders calculated and unprovoked; drug busts; robberies; the tensions between cops and criminals, rich and poor; and matters of love and hate all play out in Miami’s mean, middle-class or manicured neighborhoods . . . Buchanan conjures up a city both ordinary and exotic, and as vivid and colorful as her characters” (Publishers Weekly).   “A stunning tour de force . . . Gripping drama.” —Library Journal

    Candy MacCann, party animal! Said no one. Ever. Still, when one of Candy’s wealthiest classmates throws her annual Christmas party it’s just too good an invitation to pass up. Ivy’s guests are ready to paint the town red (and green!), and there’s sure to be gift-giving, egg-nogging, and a heated pool-party under the winter sky. The food?! Everyone knows the food at Ivy’s to-dos is to die for! And when a secretive band of armed strangers interrupts festivities, that outcome looms large for the girls of Waverleigh prep. 
    So, it’s not the party Candy wanted. 
    But she’s about to make the best of it. 
    Hard Candy is a bit like if Die Hard met 90210 at a Christmas party that went terribly sideways, when an entire prep-school class is taken hostage, leaving only 6 girls to save the day.

    This “breezy” tale by the bestselling author “explores the bitterly antagonistic relationship between two sisters, and the murder mystery they become embroiled in” (Publishers Weekly).    Soap opera writer Deborah Peltz can handle any kind of drama, except for her sister Sharon’s. A wedding planner in Boca Raton, Sharon thinks she has the answers to everything, but with three divorces under her belt, she should be the last person on the planet to dole out all that eyeroll-worthy advice.   Normally, Deborah survives by keeping her distance, safe in the bustle of New York, but when their mother has a heart attack in Florida, she drops everything to be near her. Burying the hatchet with her sister is a challenge in itself, but when they both fall for their mother's handsome cardiologist, winning him over and earning an invite to his place becomes an obsession.   But when they find him dead in his waterfront home, neither sister wants to be near the place. Now the prime suspects in his murder case, they must stick together to stay alive. Hiding out in the Bahamas may be their only chance—if they don't kill each other first… “Delightful.” —People “If you loved Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, pick up Sis Boom Bah.”—Newark Star-Ledger

    A NOVEL SET DURING A PANDEMIC WHICH STARTED IN CHINA AND EXPLORES WHAT IT TAKES TO SURVIVE AGAINST ALL ODDS. THIS ‘WHAT IF’ VERSION WRITTEN IN 2013, MAKES ONE FEAR HOW PEOPLE MIGHT REACT IF THE CORONAVIRUS COVID-19 SHUT THE WORLD DOWN. Fiction. SUGAR MOUNTAIN is a cautionary tale about an all-too-possible catastrophe: a deadly flu epidemic that starts in China and spreads throughout the world, slowly at first, then unbelievably fast. And there is no cure. People who prepare for such possibilities are variously referred to as “homesteaders,” “preppers,” or “survivalists.” This is a story of one such extended family, the Arkwrights, and how, at their farm in western Massachusetts, they gather and stand together in the face of a relentless mass killer. As well as the ravaging influenza, they must contend with provisioning themselves and fending off a local well-armed and ruthless paramilitary group all the while hanging on to enough humanity to make their survival meaningful. SUGAR MOUNTAIN explores how such a calamity affects individual family members, their neighbors—many of whom are not prepared—and society as a whole. This is a story of a fight to survive in the midst of pressures and threats and against long odds. As one member of the family records in her journal, “The world is coming to an end…The world is starting all over again.”
