The Coming Storm

Greg Mosse

Summary

Sometimes the calm is deadlier than the storm... The hotly-anticipated sequel to Sunday Times Thriller of the Year The Coming Darkness sees the return of special agent Alexandre Lamarque.
He may have saved the world from darkness, but he knows his work is not done yet.
There's still a terrorist threat out there, pulling together the strands of a new and even more destructive conspiracy to bring the world to its knees.
Battling with personal tragedy on one hand, and the intrusion of new-found celebrity on the other, Alex and his allies must re-emerge from self-imposed exile to face the fight of their lives.
From the streets of Paris, the lithium mines of Southern Mali, and the mighty Aswan Dam, they come up against forces whose intentions are as devious as they are malign. Time is against them, and there's more at stake than ever. Can they survive the coming storm?
Praise for Greg Mosse
"Equally good at derring-do and dialogue… Mosse displays admirable audacity." – THE TIMES
"Absorbing and intricately plotted." – THE TELEGRAPH
"A clever, fast-paced thriller with incredible world building… an impressive debut with a cinematic narrative style waiting to be adapted for the screen." – THE INDEPENDENT
"Superb – there's an ominous drumbeat throughout, and pace and tension, and a subtle and scarily plausible dystopia – and above all there's main character Alex Lamarque, who could be one of the greats. Greg Mosse writes like John Le Carré's hip grandson." – LEE CHILD

LEE CHILD
"This is exactly the sort of big, meaty, ambitious thriller that the market needs. I haven't read a book like this since I Am Pilgrim." – ANTHONY HOROWITZ

Nothing To Regret - Calamity...

Bellamy Gayle

STRONG, SMART, AND FAST AND TOO SMART. That's how they described tomboy Hattie Dumond, born in bilingual New Orleans in 1914. No one, including Hattie, thought that would save her life two decades later. She struggled against the restrictions women faced in those early 20th century years. Yes, she's a tomboy, but can slip into the role of debutante, and trains her intellect to straddle both. 
  
In Paris, she studies medicine at the Sorbonne, graduating as Hitler's Nazis invade France. Stranded in Europe, Hattie is forced to fend for herself and agrees to a marriage proposal by an officer in the French Army. It's the only way to get out of Paris before it's too late. 
  
She learns to love Luke DeValcourt, the good man she marries, then loses him to a Nazi prison and Hattie joins the French Resistance to rescue him and others, then escapes with Luke across the Channel to England.  
  
Trouble follows Hattie like a pebble stuck in a shoe. She can't see that danger will challenge her wherever she goes. Hattie has a lot to learn…if she lives. 
 Her return to Louisiana offers a lingering mix of pitfalls and danger that threaten her medical practice and the people she loves. What must she do to prevail? Will she? Or will she suffer the terrible consequences?

Deadly Dining (An Irish Inn...

Fiona Grace

This recording has been digitally produced by Fiona Grace, using a synthesized version of an audiobook narrator’s voice under license. “A great story of murder, romance, new beginnings, love, friendships and a wonderful cascade of mystery.”
--Amazon reviewer (regarding Murder in the Manor)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

DEADLY DINING: AN IRISH INN MYSTERY (BOOK #2) is the second book in a new cozy mystery series by Fiona Grace, #1 bestselling author of Murder in the Manor, which has over 10,000 five star reviews! The series begins with DEADLY DELUGE: AN IRISH INN MYSTERY (BOOK #1).

Fiona Flynn arrives at a charming coastal inn convinced her murderous streak is behind her — then a thunderstorm rolls in that same evening, and by morning, the inn's beloved chef is dead. 

With a handful of dinner party guests stranded by the storm and at least a few of them hiding more than they're letting on, Fiona finds herself doing what she does best: asking questions nobody wants to answer. Some assignments, it seems, come with more local color than the brochure lets on.

In AN IRISH INN MYSTERY, Fiona Flynn winds her way across the Emerald Isle, reviewing quaint inns and stumbling into murders with equal regularity. Funny, warm, and completely addictive, Fiona is the kind of accidental sleuth you'll want riding shotgun, whether she's charming suspicious locals or untangling secrets older than the stone walls around her.

Future books in the series are also available!
