  After the worst year of her life, Martha Munro is looking forward to getting back to the job she loves. She’s one of the best and brightest young detectives in the Met, but she’s immediately put on a seemingly pointless case . . . 
   
  Martha is ordered to investigate a spate of cat abductions in leafy south London. Each time, the missing moggy turns up unharmed days later. 
   
  But then one family receives a terrifying message: Next time it’s the kids. 
   
  And an ambulance is sent to the children’s school. A sinister threat by someone playing a deadly game of cat and mouse. 
   
  That same week, another Dulwich resident plunges to her death from an upstairs window. It looks like a tragic accident. Until Martha discovers she was pushed. 
   
  Someone is setting a dangerous trap for Detective Martha Munro — and they have eyes and ears everywhere. 
   
  Martha can’t let her family get hurt again. Can she outsmart this devious killer without falling into the trap?

  March 1945: After a career of commanding destroyers in the Pacific theater of WWII, Captain Wolfe Bowen is based in Washington, DC, working for the chief of naval operations. Bowen receives an urgent call from the commander of the naval shipyard in Portsmouth, New Hampshire: a German U-boat has been captured and brought to port. But what grabs Bowen's attention is the presence of two Japanese civilians on board, along with the massive size of the U-boat itself. What these civilians know about the cargo of the U-boat, as well as its destination, begins a race against time that will change the course of history. 
   
   
   
  When President Franklin Delano Roosevelt dies, Harry Truman ascends to office with no prior knowledge of the Manhattan Project. Bowen is assigned a dangerous mission: discover whether Japan has the technology to produce an atomic weapon, and find out how close the desperate enemy is to deploying it. Working with a small team, Bowen must report back to President Truman with the information that will transform the war—and the world. 
   
   
   
  Brilliantly imagined and deeply informed by P. T. Deutermann's long history as a navy captain, as well as his family's service in the Pacific theater, The Second Sun is a compelling novel timed for the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.

  Tisha Page is a nurse at Harmony Nursing and Rehabilitation. She cares about her patients, trying to connect with their grief and loss—but it's hard when she's fighting her own battle against sleep deprivation and corporate indifference. The one patient she is able to truly connect with is Nathaniel. Tisha and Nathaniel couldn't be more different, except they both know what it's like to be born a size too big for this world. Too angry, too large, and too inconvenient to ever truly fit in with the rest of society. 
   
  As Nathaniel rages against the slow decay of his life, Tisha begins to see a monster stalking the dismal halls of the Harmony nursing home. Worse than death, the monster wants to take from the patients while they're still alive until they're nothing but husks of their former selves. Tisha must overcome her own slow decay at the hands of apathy and bureaucracy before the monster can take everything she has left.

  There are people who can be reached by fiction who cannot be reached by fact. This story is a warning. 
  A timely, terrifying novella by the NYT bestselling author of The 13th Valley. 
  In the year 2048, 30-year-old Ang (Angelica) tells the story of what happened to her twenty-four years earlier, in August 2024, when she was 14; when she and her brother Sal, 16 ½ at the time, fled from their home in Oregon in hopes of reaching their grandparents’ farm at Whirl’s End, Pennsylvania. It is a period of crisis, tragedy, collapse of social order, balkanization of the United States, and the rise of tyranny. Ang leads in with anecdotes of building The Truck, that eventually carried them on their journey, during summers at G-pa’s, and with the Covid death of her father; and ends with their status 24 years later.
