  Four strangers. A quiet library. The perfect place for murder. 
   
  ‘And then there is a scream. Ragged and terrified. A beat of silence even after it stops, until we all seem to realise that the Reading Room Rules no longer apply.’ 
   
  Hannah Tigone, bestselling Australian crime author, is crafting a new novel that begins in the Boston Public Library: four strangers; Winifred, Cain, Marigold and Whit are sitting at the same table when a bloodcurdling scream breaks the silence. A woman has been murdered. They are all suspects, and, as it turns out, each character has their own secrets and motivations – and one of them is a murderer. 
   
  While crafting this new thriller, Hannah shares each chapter with her biggest fan and aspirational novelist, Leo. But Leo seems to know a lot about violence, motive, and how exactly to kill someone. Perhaps he is not all that he seems… 
   
  The Woman in the Library is an unexpectedly twisty literary adventure that examines the complicated nature of friendship – and shows that words can be the most treacherous weapons of all. 
   
   ‘Wickedly clever, highly original and thoroughly entertaining – I loved it!’ Chris Hammer, author of Scrublands and Treasure and Dirt 
   
  ‘A seriously fun read.’ Dervla McTIernan, author of The Ruin and The Murder Rule 
   
  ‘This elegantly constructed novel is intelligent, funny, and profound. Who could ask for more?’ Publishers Weekly 
   
  ‘Sulari Gentill pulls back the curtain on writers and their fixations, revealing the duplicity, the secret rages and the jealousy. Everything, no matter how dire, is material in the end.’ Jock Serong, author of The Rules of Backyard Cricket and The Burning Island 
   
  ‘An enormously clever book. I lay awake thinking about it every night until I finished it.’ Jack Heath, author of Hangman and Kill Your Brother 
   
  ‘The Woman in the Library is devious, tricksy and unpredictable. Gentill kept me guessing to the end. Clever, layered and highly original.’ Karen Viggers, author of The Lightkeeper's Wife and The Orchardist's Daughter 
   
  ‘A vibrant, twisty murder mystery told vividly and with great humour.’ Kaaron Warren, author of Mistification and The Grief Hole

  "His Last Bow" is a classic mystery collection from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It also contains the very last story featuring Doyle's greatest creation: the legendary and enigmatic consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes.

But without a doubt, the final story - "His Last Bow" - is the most exciting entry in this one-of-a-kind volume.   
  Sherlock Holmes, now living a quiet life in the countryside, comes out of retirement to aid in the British war effort, facing off against two German spies bent on smuggling secrets out of England. It is an immensely satisfying end to one of the greatest mystery series in literary history.

  THE NEXT HUNT IS ABOUT TO BEGINWhat do you do when the person that is supposed to help is the one you’re running from? Angel Evanston is about to find out.  
  Emily Bright and her best friend Harper White have big dreams, but a chance meeting has changed the course of their future. Now they may not have any future at all. 
  Two years ago, Angel survived something so traumatic it sent her into hiding. She’s committed to living a life that honors the losses of her past, despite her physical and emotional scars. That means proving she isn’t the coward she was once accused of being. 
  When Angel finds Emily, bloody and traumatized, in a truck stop bathroom. The story Emily tells is incredible: a sheriff abducts and tortures women, then turns them loose on his ranch to be hunted like animals. 
  No one has escaped… until now. Emily got out, but Harper is still on the ranch. Angel must choose between turning a blind eye or being the kind of person who helps others, even if it means putting herself in peril – again. 
  If you like Karin Slaughter, Criminal Minds, and fast-paced stories that keep you on the edge of your seat, you'll love The Hunted: Sins of the Father.

  Magic is in my blood, but trouble is in my bones. 
  I thought tracking down an Eternal Flame would be the hardest part of this trip. Turns out, I was wrong. Between a hidden magical village, a smug lake monster, and a high priestess who may or may not hold the key to fixing my mistakes, I’m starting to think I should have stayed in bed. 
  But I don’t have that luxury. My magic is growing stronger by the day, but it’s volatile, and if I don’t get a grip, I won’t just lose control - I’ll lose everything. 
  Kaz’s life hangs by a thread, the fire I was born to protect is fading, and now, to top it off, magical objects are vanishing from under our noses. A stolen grimoire, a missing goblet, and a determined old goblin convinced there’s a thief on the loose… and somehow, I’m the one tasked with solving the mystery. 
  Then there’s Fraser, steadfast, infuriatingly level-headed, and always there when I need him. He’s been by my side through all of this, even when I’ve given him every reason to walk away. But with my past catching up to me and my future in the balance, I can’t afford any distractions - especially not the kind that makes my heart race. 
  If I don’t prove myself worthy of the Flame, everything I’ve fought for - my family’s legacy, my magic, and possibly my own soul - could be lost forever. 
  No pressure, right?
