    A plane hijacked to a mysterious land… 
    And there he spoke 
    Initially human beings were conceived to be created as four legged animals. But, suddenly it occurred to the Creative Team that if they too were made like other species, then who would take care of the rest of living beings on earth. And then, on second thoughts, they were created as a two legged species with special provision of a fertile brain and highly effective vocal cords, the two special attributes… Little did we know that by bestowing brains to humans, the Creator was providing them with two invisible horns within their skull which would prove to be far more lethal with rapacity to lock their invisible horns with those of others… and little did we know that the gift of speech would become a more dangerous weapon to fight and destroy others than even the most lethal arms and ammunitions.”

    Dovey didn't expect to fall in love after the age of 200, yet she can't stop thinking about Grant "Gib" Barlow, the gorgeous FBI agent who helped her crack her last case. A romance with an unbound is obviously a terrible idea, but for Gib, it could be fatal—because Dovey's employer, Elric Ostergaard, arguably the most powerful mystic in the world, also happens to be her longtime lover.Alas, Dovey's efforts to steer clear of Gib become impossible when her best friend, fellow mystic, and unapologetic romantic, Ursula Göransdotter, tricks them into a lunch date—during which Gib is alerted that a fellow agent has been murdered in his own home. The state of the crime scene, and of the body, seem to defy logic—but Dovey immediately recognizes the Crushing Spell, which could only be cast by a supremely powerful mystic—like her boss. When another agent is killed in the same manner, Dovey races to find Elric for answers.Meanwhile, the FBI body count rises, and it becomes clear that a rogue mystic is targeting the unbound agents, but why? What ensues is another missing magical trinket, a tense confrontation with Elric, a shocking discovery about Gib, and grave danger to all involved—forcing Dovey to navigate realm-crossing love triangles, supernatural power struggles—and ultimately, her own surprisingly vulnerable heart . . .

    A TRUE-CRIME-OBSESSED YOUNG ARTIST IS DRAWN INTO THE LIVES OF A DELIRIOUSLY WEALTHY FAMILY IN THIS FANTASTICALLY ENTERTAINING THRILLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF OTHER PEOPLE’S CLOTHES. 
     
    Recently dumped and stuck with the mortgage, artist Esther Ray wants to burn down the world, but instead, she reluctantly accepts a scrapbooking job from the deliriously wealthy Naomi Duncan. The scrapbooks, a secret birthday gift for Naomi’s husband, Bryce, trace the Duncans’ twenty-five-year marriage. The conditions: Esther must include every piece of paper she’s been sent, must sign an NDA, and must only contact Naomi using the burner phone provided. Otherwise, she’ll spoil the surprise. 
     
    As Esther binges true-crime podcasts and works through the nearly two hundred boxes of Duncan detritus, she finds herself infatuated with the gilded family—until, midproject, Naomi dies suspiciously. When Esther becomes convinced the husband killed her, she uses the scrapbooks’ trove of information to insert herself into the Duncans’ lives to prove it. But the more Esther investigates, the further she is dragged back to the scorched earth of her own past in the art world. 
     
    Laced with pitch-black humor and conspiratorial unease, Scrap is a razor-sharp examination of wealth and power, art and truth, of the line between justice and revenge—and who gets to cross it. 
     
    "[A] black comedy that revels in the fabulously entertaining dysfunction at the heart of the world's disgustingly wealthy … Henkel's lacerating eye for the morally ambiguous keeps you hooked."—Daily Mail
