  Set in a dystopian future where the Crumpt dynasty has transformed the U.S. presidency into a hereditary rule, this gripping sci-fi saga follows the struggle for truth, survival, and legacy in a world divided by power and deception. Under the authoritarian grip of Crumpt Jr., the elite Calberras have fortified their dominance, creating walled cities that separate the privileged from the struggling masses. 
  At the heart of the story is Casey, a young scientist navigating a society shaped by scarcity, rigid policies, and concealed truths. Her family’s legacy in scientific innovation—especially in anti-aging and late-life pregnancy—becomes both a burden and a key to the future. Her great-grandmother, Martha, famously gave birth at 80 in 1913 after developing a groundbreaking anti-aging formula, a discovery that now holds dangerous implications. As Casey works within a government-controlled lab, she begins to uncover secrets that could reshape society—or bring about her downfall. 
  Blending science fiction, family legacy, and societal commentary, the series delves into themes of loyalty, deception, and survival in a world teetering on the edge of transformation.

  A Yorkshire cop's reunion with old friends is marred by murder in this mystery by "the finest male English contemporary crime writer" (Val McDermid). 
   
   
    
  With his longtime girlfriend, Ellie, detective Peter Pascoe is off to Thornton Lacey for an exciting weekend reunion with a few of his college friends. However, upon arrival, he finds no cause for celebration. Instead, there's been a triple homicide, and one of his friends—the chief suspect—is missing. 
   
   
    
  Pascoe is eager to assist with the case, but the local constabulary doesn't seem to welcome outside help. Meanwhile, Pascoe's superior, the incorrigibly rude Andy Dalziel, needs him back home to find the culprit behind a series of burglaries. Torn between two cases and two jurisdictions, Pascoe knows he must solve these cases quickly—if not for a sense of loyalty to his friends or duty to his job, then at least for his own sanity.
