Beschreibung

In 1924, two pioneering Scottish women embark on a perilous journey to conquer the icy summits of the mountainous state of The Himolo. A century later, the fallout from their adventure threatens the interests of a mining giant with the controversial rights to excavate under a nearby glacier.
 
In response, a group of corrupt officials and unhinged scientists hatch a plot with shocking reverberations. Among those affected is Pradesh, a well-meaning local schoolteacher who unwittingly becomes entangled in the cover-up.
 
A criminal syndicate, a religious sect in Bali and a shadowy art collector in London all seem to be connected to the deceit. But what secrets are buried beneath the ice?
 
Written with a liberal dose of satire and irreverence, J.K. Proctor's HEMADRI NADI - A GLACIER TOO FAR is an intriguing environmental thriller that seamlessly blends corporate conspiracy, social injustice and historical mystery.

    LET HER TRY is book #10 in a long-anticipated new series by #1 bestseller and USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose bestseller Once Gone (a free download) has received over 7,000 five star ratings and reviews.
    
    Fiona Red, a brilliant but quirky FBI loner, spends most of her time in the lab or at crime scenes. She comes from a family used to being around death and bodies, her parents having run a funeral parlor, and she would have run the family business if not for a tragedy in her past: her sister was abducted when she was a teenager, and never found.
    
    Fiona remains determined to crack her sister’s case. But in the meantime, as an FBI agent, she applies her brilliance to catching killers and cracking cases that no one else can, as bugs are the first visitors to dead bodies.
    
    With her FBI partner out in the field, Fiona expects to stay behind the scenes.
    
    But Fiona, obsessed with catching killers, takes it one step too far, and may just find herself in the crosshairs of a killer herself.
    
    A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured FBI agent, the Fiona Red series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.

    Discover the delightfully gripping new historical mystery series that's perfect for fans of Helena Dixon, Verity Bright and T E Kinsey.'If you thought the Golden Age of crime was dead, think again!' Verity Bright 
    Agatha Christie is about to embark on a new, gripping murder case. But this time, she’s not the author – she’s a suspect… 
    1926 – Christie is a darling of the literary circuit and the most desired guest in London’s glittering social scene. She can often be found at meetings of the Detection Club – where mystery writers come together to share ideas, swap secrets and drink copiously. But then a fellow author's initiation ceremony takes a gruesome turn, and one of the group ends up dead. Now, Agatha is no longer just the creator of great mystery plots – she’s a player in one. 
    And when Agatha disappears the day after the murder, she’s widely assumed to be guilty. Only Eliza Baker, assistant to the Club’s enigmatic secretary, Dorothy Sayers, is interested in investigating the case. But in a world where murder is the ultimate plot device, can Eliza piece together the evidence and find the killer before it’s too late?

Peter and Mary Marshall went on a vacation with their son and daughter, but returned without their children. They went missing from their hotel room one night while the couple was downstairs in the restaurant for dinner. They never saw them again.

Former FBI profiler Eva Rae Thomas is doing well in her life, and things are calm until an FBI agent suddenly shows up, asking for her help with the case of the missing child.
