Sinossi

Description:
Julian and Kevin, two broke construction workers living in a damp basement, stumble upon a terrifying yet lucrative secret hidden within the walls of a remote psychiatric hospital. Desperate for cash after Kevin's medication runs out, they are offered a bizarre deal by the enigmatic Dr. Vincent: earn $300 each for a single night's work. What begins as a simple, if unsettling, errand plunges them into the shadowy experiments of Dr. Marcus, a neuroscientist who believes he can manipulate human emotion and memory through electrical brain stimulation. As they witness patients subjected to agonizing procedures and addictive 'treatments,' Julian and Kevin must decide how far they're willing to go for fast money. Trapped between poverty and a chilling moral abyss, they uncover a password to wealth far more dangerous than they ever imagined. Can they get rich without losing their minds?

    When forensic psychologist Dr. Mara Vexley wakes up in the hospital wing of an abandoned mental facility with no memory of how she got there, she’s told she was found wandering the island shoreline, barefoot and covered in blood. But the blood isn’t hers and the patient she was sent to evaluate, a mute serial arsonist named Jonas Vale, is missing. Mara begins to piece together fragments of her fractured memory as strange clues surface: cryptic journal entries in her handwriting, security footage that skips whenever Jonas appears, and a string of fires starting again across the mainland. The deeper she digs, the more she questions her sanity and whether she’s here to stop Jonas, or help him. But someone doesn’t want her to remember. And the island isn’t just isolated it’s rigged to trap anyone who tries to leave. As Mara’s mind begins to unravel, she must decide: is she the hunter… or the hunted?

    “A little beauty of a story….A hot, fast read with pungent characters.” —Los Angeles Times 
    “A slam-bang, no-bull action thriller…and nobody but nobody writes better dialogue.” —New York Daily News 
    It’s an established fact: Elmore Leonard is “the uncontested master of the crime thriller” (Washington Post ) who “does crime fiction better than anyone” (Cleveland Plain Dealer), and nowhere is this more obvious than in the pages of Stick. One of his most acclaimed noir masterworks, it is the story of ex-con Ernest “Stick” Stickley who’s nudged from the straight-and-narrow path when a big time drug dealer randomly selects him to die and a perfect revenge/payday opportunity presents itself. The author of Raylan, featuring  U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, the sometimes trigger-happy protagonist of TV’s Justified, Leonard is indeed the king, holding court with the best of the best, including Coban and Connally, and the late great John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, and Robert B. Parker.

This definitive anthology brings together all of William Hope Hodgson’s celebrated stories featuring the brilliant, if eccentric, investigator, Thomas Carnacki. Known for his keen intellect, inventive methods, and unshakable resolve, Carnacki faces some of the most chilling and enigmatic supernatural phenomena of his time. 
    Throughout these nine tales, Carnacki is called upon to confront strange forces that defy logic and reason. Armed with his trusty scientific tools, a deep understanding of the occult, and a fearless heart, he investigates everything from spectral hauntings and ghostly apparitions to malevolent spirits and unearthly forces lurking in the shadows. 
    The first six stories were collected in the 1913 anthology, “Carnacki, the Ghost-Finder”, with the latter three appearing in an expanded collection of the same name published in 1947.

    The House of Lambspun has been bombarded for the holidays. In the midst of overflowing bins of sumptuous yarn, unexpected winter romance now buzzes, in chorus with the spindles of shy new spinning instructor Lucy Adair. But when a rancher is found dead in Bellevue Canyon, avid knitter and sometime-sleuth Kelly Flynn quickly puts these festive pastimes aside. 
     
     
      
    With his reputation for lovin' and leavin' the ladies of Fort Connor, it seems a little strange that the victim's final admirer was a fiancée . . . none other than the hopelessly bereaved Lucy Adair. Unluckily, Kelly also finds herself linked to the prime suspect in the case—a rejected ex-lover of the playboy rancher. Charged with keeping both spinner and spurned from going over the edge, she'll discover more than a few secrets tangled on this triad's bobbin.
