  In this twisting mystery in a New York Times bestselling series, pranks escalate into a deadly scheme that Private Investigator Sharon McCone must unravel—​before they claim her life. San Francisco is home to more than 200 privately owned streets. Most are alleyways, but a select few are lined with mansions and elaborate gardens. When several luxury estate homes are targeted in a series of so-called pranks, Sharon is hired by a coalition of concerned owners to investigate. But as things escalate—an attempt on Sharon’s life, an explosion at a meth lab, and a shocking murder—Sharon realizes far more is at play than a few misdemeanors gone wrong. The case takes a sudden turn when one of McCone & Ripinsky’s most trusted employees is implicated, and Sharon will have to dig deep to save her agency—and her life.

  Unfamiliar Forms of Light

  Told through the eyes of Booba (Grandma), this story follows the life of a young female dancer in 1930s-40s Eastern Europe. It explores themes of relationships, bravery, and unity in the face of hatred, both in the past and today, toward others simply because of their religion, race, colour, sexuality, or gender.
  
  Booba has spent years researching the Holocaust, reading personal accounts, and listening to survivors' stories. This book does not include names of people or places because she wants you to imagine it is your city, town, or village. She invites you to see yourself and those you know in the story and to experience its reality as if it were your own.
  
  This recollection balances between fact and fiction, yet remains deeply believable. It is also a part of Booba's heritage, a story she will never stop telling. At its core, this book is about the choices we make, even when limited, and how they shape who we are.
  
  The title comes from a science program that described early life forms as being blind to unfamiliar light, forcing them to adapt to survive or disappear. Booba sees a reflection of humanity in this idea. People are often taught, conditioned, and sometimes forced to believe there is only one way to live, one way to die, and one way to see the world. She refuses to accept this.
  
  She believes in something better.
  
  Human beings are resourceful and intelligent, and she has witnessed countless moments of compassion and support between people. Booba pleads with the world, feeling that time is running out, to embrace our true selves and uncover the beauty we are capable of before it is too late.

  Thirty years after a federal agent and two suspects disappeared in the wilderness, the case is cold, and they’ve never been found. Now their suspected killer is about to go free. But is the truth really what it seems? In Dry Oaks, California, Chief of Police Hanna Keyes has long believed her father, Joe, is a murderer, justly imprisoned. When she’s told he’s dying and is being given compassionate release from prison, she wants nothing to do with him. But taking him in might be Hanna’s one shot at cracking the cold case, so she reluctantly agrees to oversee his care.  Joe’s arrival in Dry Oaks seems to set off a chain reaction of crimes. Then an infamous true-crime podcaster comes sniffing for information, and Hanna’s first love, Jared, shows up just when she least needs the distraction. As Hanna tries to convince Joe to reveal what he knows about the missing persons, evidence in the cold case surfaces at a suspiciously rapid pace . . . suggesting there’s more to the murders than people thought.  With Joe’s strength failing, Hanna and her colleagues look for answers, not only about the past but also about recent criminal dealings in Dry Oaks. As the puzzle pieces start to fit together, it becomes clear that there’s a sinister plot at work, far more wide-reaching than anyone suspected, and that someone is desperate to silence the truth at any cost.

  In this re-write of our 2023 best-selling novel CAGED, Marshall Black delves deeper into the gritty world of human trafficking and the love story that emerges from its shadows. Questions are answered, destinies are revealed, and this tale is seamlessly woven into the fabric of the Mike McHaskell Novel Series. 
  When CIA operative Mike McHaskell accepts a routine mission in Saudi Arabia, he doesn’t anticipate the trap waiting for him. Captured, stripped of his autonomy, and thrown into the dark world of human trafficking, Mike is forced to confront horrors that challenge even his unparalleled training and resilience. But he’s not alone—three women, all fighting for survival, become his unexpected allies in the most desperate of circumstances. 
  As the four battle to escape their captors, Mike discovers the web of deceit runs deeper than he ever imagined, connecting powerful elites with unimaginable atrocities. Revenge fuels him, but his path is far from straightforward. From deadly showdowns of his own past to quiet moments of raw emotion, Mike must navigate a world where trust is a commodity and every move could be his last. 
  But escaping isn’t enough. Mike’s darkest instincts resurface as he seeks vengeance for the suffering inflicted on those he’s come to care about. As the lines blur between justice and bloodlust, Mike must grapple with who he’s become—and if redemption is even possible. 
  Gritty, intense, and unrelenting, CAGED takes readers on a rollercoaster of action and emotion, exploring the depths of human depravity and the strength it takes to fight back. Updated and reimagined, this is the first chapter in the Mike McHaskell series—a story of survival, sacrifice, and the pursuit of justice at any cost.
