    Four years of silence shattered with one body. The Moralist has returned. 
    When a teenage girl's body is found in Bishop Park, Detective Walker Michaels knows the signature immediately. The brutal serial killer who once terrorized their Georgia town has struck again with trademark religious symbolism and chilling precision. But this time the evidence hints at something far more dangerous. 
    The victim's deeply religious family crumbles under grief and suspicion. Their church community harbors forbidden desires and dark obsessions concealed behind righteous facades. Every lead uncovers buried secrets, and in a world where faith masks depravity, everyone becomes a suspect. 
    Walker soon discovers this murder has reawakened a dormant evil, and the truth behind it is far more personal and devastating than anyone imagined. When the line between justice and vengeance dissolves, the final confrontation will shatter everything Walker thought he knew. 
    This gripping crime thriller blends small-town secrets, religious hypocrisy, and shocking revelations into a relentless hunt for the truth.

    Darriby Hall is famous for entertaining busybody aristocrats, tales from distant lands, and a dead body . . . now and then. 
     
     
     
    When Lady Darriby-Jones encounters a roadblock on her quest to reclaim her beloved Rolls-Royce, she dismisses it as another molehill magnified by the local constabulary into a mountainous mess. Little does she know, the kerfuffle involves more than a traffic hiccup—it's a symphony of chaos orchestrated by the untimely demise of her dodgy yet reliable mechanic. 
     
     
     
    Her mechanic may not have been a choir boy, but a dead one? 
     
     
     
    The plot thickens when her driver becomes the prime suspect, courtesy of DCI Rude Manners—the reigning champion of inept policing in England. As Lady Darriby-Jones navigates clues leading to dead ends, it appears the elusive killer has mastered the art of staying two steps ahead. 
     
     
     
    In a world where manners are a must, Lady Darriby-Jones unleashes her own form of etiquette—digging into secrets that lurk around every corner and outfoxing a cunning killer determined to dance away from justice. 
     
     
     
    Will she succeed in untangling the web of deception that entwines her, or will the killer's schemes lead her on a twisted tango into the shadows?

    Linking the dying words of three slain strangers proves risky for Dalziel and Pascoe in this "shrewd . . . and deft" mystery (The New York Times). 
     
     
      
    Reginald Hill "raised the classical British mystery to new heights" when he introduced pugnacious Yorkshire Det. Inspector Andrew Dalziel and his partner, the callow Sgt. Peter Pascoe (The New York Times Book Review). Their chafing differences in education, manners, technique, and temperament made them "the most remarkable duo in the annals of crime fiction" (Toronto Star). The Gold Dagger Award–winning series was adapted into a long-running hit show for the BBC. 
     
     
      
    On the same night, three old men are offed: One is found in the icy rain sputtering the name "Polly" before expiring; another mumbles "Charley" after being beaten in his bathtub; and most alarmingly, the final words of the third, a cyclist knocked off the road by a drunk driver, implicate Superintendent Andrew Dalziel in the fatal hit and run. Bearing the brunt of three seemingly disparate investigations while proving his partner's innocence, Peter Pascoe follows a confounding trail that leads to one victim's family secrets, a shady retirement community, and corruption within the CID's ranks that's putting more than Dalziel's already dicey reputation in peril.

    The Divers' Game - A Novel

    From the inimitable mind of award-winning author Jesse Ball, a novel about an unsettlingly familiar society that has renounced the concept of equality—and the devastating consequences of unmitigated power. 
    The old-fashioned struggle for fairness has finally been abandoned. It was a misguided endeavor. The world is divided into two groups, pats and quads. The pats may kill the quads as they like, and do. The quads have no recourse but to continue with their lives.  
    The Divers’ Game is a thinly veiled description of our society, an extreme case that demonstrates a truth: we must change or our world will collapse. 
    What is the effect of constant fear on a life, or on a culture? The Divers’ Game explores the consequences of violence through two festivals, and through the dramatic and excruciating examination of a woman’s final moments. 
    Brilliantly constructed and achingly tender, The Divers’ Game shatters the notion of common decency as the binding agent between individuals, forcing us to consider whether compassion is intrinsic to the human experience. With his signature empathy and ingenuity, Jesse Ball’s latest work solidifies his reputation as one of contemporary fiction’s most mesmerizing talents.
