  In the Hands of Sharks
   
  Fear winds its way through Carl’s veins like poison, not unlike the shadows he can't shake. Locked in a dance with Nancy—an enigmatic force from an organization that devours its own—Carl is tangled in conspiracies woven with threats and promises of new beginnings. His home holds secrets in plain sight, the kind that watch him in silence, and only obedience keeps him from becoming fish food.
   
  Tasked with an impossible choice between survival and murder, the stakes are chillingly clear. Carl must navigate a world where every ally is suspect, every decision fraught with betrayal. As the queen of hearts presides over his fate, Carl's next move could save him—or doom him to a life where fear is the only constant. Where does loyalty end when you're cornered by the jaws of a Great White?

  An unputdownable novel full of suspense and secrets from top 30 bestselling author Ruby Speechley 
  Perfect for fans of Shari Lapena, Alice Feeney and Lisa Jewell. 
  Single mum Ellie is shown a missing person post on Facebook. It’s of her three-year-old son, Tyler… But he’s right there, holding her hand. 
  Surely this is some kind of prank – she knows her friend Louise can go too far with her jokes sometimes. And Ellie is used to the other mums gossiping at the school gates… 
  But now the other parents are questioning whether Tyler is really her child. 
  Ellie does everything she can to prove the post is fake, but the longer it goes on she knows it is malicious. Who would do this to her? And why? 
  It could be her ex, Darren, but deep down she knows it must be linked to what happened all those years ago – the night she’s been doing her best to forget… 
  All she knows is that she has to keep her son safe – no matter what.Praise for Ruby Speechley:

  A middle-aged couple struggles with the husband’s descent into early-onset Lewy Body dementia in this profound and deeply moving novel shot through with Kirshenbaum’s lacerating humor. 
    
  It begins with hallucinations. From their living room window, Leo sees a man on stilts, an acting troupe, a pair of swans paddling on the street. Initially, Leo believes the visions are related to visual impairment—they are something he and his wife, Addie, can joke about. Then, he starts to experience occasional, but fleeting, oddities that mimic myriad brain disorders: aphasia, the inability to perform simple tasks, Capgras Syndrome, audial hallucinations he believes to be real. The doctors have no answers. Leo, a scientist, and Addie, a collage artist, had a loving and happy marriage. But as his periods of lucidity become rarer, Addie finds herself less and less able to cope. 
    
  Eventually, Leo is diagnosed with Lewy Body disease. Life expectancy ranges from 3 to 20 years. A decidedly uncharacteristic act of violence makes it clear that he cannot come home. He moves first to an assisted living facility and then to a small apartment with a caretaker where, over time, he descends into full cognitive decline. Addie’s agony, anger, and guilt result in self-imposed isolation, which mirrors Leo’s diminished life. And so for years, all she can do is watch him die—too soon, and yet not soon enough. 
    
  Kirshenbaum captures the couple’s final years, months, and days in short scenes that burn with despair, humor, and rage, tracking the brutal destruction of the disease, as well the moments of love and beauty that still exist for them amid the larger tides of loss.

  Rowena Halley has hit a dead end. Will it leave her dead? 
   Russian professor Rowena Halley is at the end of her money, the end of her job contract, the end of her romantic hopes…the end of her tether. And just when she thinks she can’t take any more, she gets dragged by her nearest and dearest into not one, but two sticky situations. Her friend Mel needs her help dealing with a scammer, and her long-lost paternal grandparents want her back in their lives—with cultish strings attached. 
  But Rowena has even bigger problems. Her ex-fiancé, opposition Russian journalist Dima Kuznetsov, comes to America, bringing old history and new danger with him. Rowena wants to believe they have a future as a couple. The mercenaries and hitmen Dima has been tangling with over the years could mean they don’t have a future, period. And revelations about Dima’s most recent deal with the Devil cause Rowena to doubt their chances to make a life together, even if they do survive. 
  Rowena wants a happy ending for everyone. But with this many bad guys mad at her, the ending she’s most likely to get is the terminal kind.  
  Content warning: This book contains an Air Force veteran, an officer in the Marines, and an ex-member of the Russian OMON. The language is accordingly salty.

  Join Francie and the gang one last time as they team up to fight their most savage enemy of all: Kong’s fleas… 
  Yes, they’ve got to find the Baron and his sixth cursed book before untold horrors are unleashed on the town. 
  Of course a wealthy widow was poisoned at the first annual poetry slam competition. 
  And by now you shouldn’t be surprised to learn that an avant-garde performance art troupe has moved into Francie’s backyard and rehearsals consist of bongos, glitter and panda costumes. 
  But none of that will matter if the Jibbleson Sisters’ Flea-B-Gone Gamma Zapper Ray has malfunctioned and mutated fleas take over the whole world… 
  Author’s Note: I’ve shamelessly and gleefully indulged the deepest depths of absurdity in this book. Whether you consider this a promise or a warning is up to you.
