  The killer was already caught. The city had its hero. All Jasper Finch had to do was write the legend. 
  But when Port Sterling's celebrated psychiatrist sits across from him in an interrogation room and chooses the word "composed" to describe how he solved the case, something in Jasper's gut goes cold. Because brilliant men don't stumble onto killers. They build them. And the ghost of a childhood memory - a vagrant's grotesque, unforgettable walk - has just appeared in grainy security footage, frame-for-frame identical. A detail no one else on earth would recognize. 
  Jasper is a man who has spent fifteen years chronicling his city's decay, who knows that the most dangerous stories are the ones that are too perfect. Now he must navigate a maze of institutional complicity, psychological warfare, and his own terrifying complicity: because the monster he is hunting once read his words, and turned them into a philosophy of murder. Every time Jasper gets closer to the truth, the architect of the lie dismantles his certainty and replaces it with a more beautiful, more seductive version of madness. 
  In a city of crumbling facades and convenient narratives, is there a difference between the man who composes the story and the man who commits the crime? 
  Perfect for fans of: The Silent Patient, Hannibal (Thomas Harris), Gone Girl, The Alienist, House of Leaves

  When a group of strangers purchase land on Tortola and Norman Island to set up a commune, the locals simply write them off as an odd sort - until one of their bloated bodies washes up on the shore of a nearby resort island. 
  As luck would have it, Jesse McDermitt is visiting a friend on Norman Island after tracking a terrorist submarine from the Windward Islands. The sub was destroyed by locals on the Dutch island of Saba, so Jesse had nothing much else to do. What he wasn’t looking for was a murderous cult at the center of a drug manufacturing and distribution ring. 
  If a person didn’t succumb to the rules of this cult, they might end up riding the chum sluice. If they did, they might meet Jesse.

  Many of us enjoy solitude.  Maybe a few minutes, or an hour, maybe a few days to decompress and unwind.  But for some people, and there are many persuasive reasons as to why, solitude has a big brother; Loneliness.  There is no-one to share with, to split the burden or triumphs of life.   
  And in big cities, that teem with life and energy, to be alone is one of the great conundrums of life. 
  In this volume our classic authors explore this difficult subject.

  Imagine, if you will, a murder committed in a sealed room. A room which has been sealed from the inside, that is, with no possible means of exit, excepting a dangerous plunge through a window into a deep, foreboding lake with swirling eddies and rocks abound. Add to that image a wreath of flowers around the head and across the chest of the victim, a crucifix, an orange, a feather scarf tucked in here and there, two crackers, a handkerchief, and a feather duster. And a nail. Oh, and one more item to add to the curious array of arranged paraphenalia - a watch in a water pitcher by the bedside. Now place yourself in a position to solve the mystery behind this obvious murder of a wealthy man who was liked by everyone, and had no known enemies.Carolyn Wells was a well known author of children's stories, until she began reading mystery stories written by Anna Katherine Green, and from then on she devoted her writings to puzzling mysteries in a similar vein.
