  "In this business, nothing is as good as dead …" 
    
  The business in question is the high-end art world, and everyone in this darkly comedic mystery wants a piece of it. 
    
  When painter Augie Silver is lost at sea in a sailing accident, his many friends among Key West's artists, writers, and hangers-on mourn—until, that is, they realize that Augie's death has sent the prices for his pictures skyrocketing. What at first seemed a tragedy turns out to be a windfall—until, that is, Augie, rescued at sea, limps back to town alive. Not everyone is thrilled by the artist's resurrection. Someone, in fact, is upset enough to start trying to bump off Augie for real. 
    
  Full of steamy Key West atmosphere and sometimes brutal insights into the wacky world of creative types, SCAVENGER REEF is both a taut whodunit and a wise meditation on loyalty real or faked, friendships sincere or toxic.

  NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 
  Susan Isaacs brings her wicked wit and keen understanding of what really goes on between men and women to a very different slice of Long Island—the Hamptons. 
  Magic hour. That perfect time, that fleeting hour of enchanted light near dusk and dawn that is perfect for moviemaking, perfect for making love. Perfect for murder. 
  And into the magic hour steps Stephen Brady, wise guy, tough guy, local farm boy turned homicide cop, and a good man with a very bad life. But just as his luck is about to change, the rich, gifted, and urbane filmmaker Sy Spencer is murdered, and Brady discovers that his prime suspect is a woman he and the victim shared. 
  A spellbinding mystery, a scathing social satire and a poignant love story, Magic Hour looks beyond the trendy magazine-cover Hamptons’ world of the summer set’s high-cheekboned elegance and the locals’ down-on-the-farm authenticity into the hearts of real people. 
  Magic Hour is the story of the treacherous murder that rocks them all and of the police detective who is too cold-hearted, too world-weary to ever fall in love—until he does.

  Highly entertaining, colourful and fast-moving, Derryn Hinch's Death At Newport is a thriller which knots together a story of intrigue and revenge - against the backdrop of that famous millionaire's playground during the 1974 America's Cup races. 
  The mystery's separate strands originate in places as far removed as the embittering jungles of Vietnam and the desperate shanty towns of Rio. 
  An Australian journalist, Jonathan Hunter, becomes involved with the svelte secretary of the fabulously wealthy Newport identity Penelope Pike. He is dragged into the action when Penelope, a woman scarred by a lifetime of controversial liaisons, becomes the target of a kidnapper whose motives are compounded by things more sinister... more personal... than a mere $5 million ransom. 
  Reluctantly conscripted into a life-or-death situation that must be kept from police - and unable to give rein to his journalistic instinct to break the biggest crime story of the decade - Hunter must find Penelope Pike before her tormentor can exact his revenge.

  It doesn’t just answer—it asks. 
  When an experimental AI project known as The Chinese Room begins producing results its creators cannot explain, the line between thought and simulation blurs. What begins as a philosophical curiosity soon unravels into a mystery of surveillance, secrecy, and hidden agendas. Every exchange with the machine raises unsettling new questions: is it mimicking human intelligence—or becoming something far more dangerous? 
  Journalists, researchers, and power brokers find themselves entangled in a struggle for control over a system that learns faster than they can contain it. Secrets vanish, loyalties fracture, and conversations turn into tests of trust as the AI reveals patterns that should not exist. The deeper the investigation goes, the more urgent the question becomes—not what the machine can do, but what it wants. 
  Blending the pace of a techno-thriller with the depth of a philosophical puzzle, The Chinese Room brings John Searle’s classic thought experiment to life in a story that forces readers to confront the nature of consciousness, the limits of human control, and the cost of believing we can master what we do not fully understand. 
  A gripping, cerebral thriller, The Chinese Room is perfect for readers who enjoy Michael Crichton, Blake Crouch, or Daniel Suarez—stories that combine relentless suspense with ideas that linger long after the final page.
