    The world we live in today is one driven by technology, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of progress. At the forefront of this movement are individuals who dare to dream big and push boundaries. But with great ambition comes great controversy. This book is a fictional exploration of one such individual, Alon Mask, whose life reflects the triumphs and challenges faced by modern-day innovators. 
    Alon Mask is not just a character; he is a symbol of the modern entrepreneur—the dreamer who revolutionizes industries, disrupts norms, and divides opinions. In creating this character, I have drawn inspiration from real-world events and personalities, but the story is purely fictional, designed to spark thought and conversation about the impact of those who lead with bold ideas. 
    Throughout this book, you will encounter different facets of Alon Mask's life—from his groundbreaking ideas to the controversies that follow him wherever he goes. Each chapter delves into a significant event or decision in Alon's career, presenting not just his success but also the fallout and questions that arise. The companies, technologies, and controversies you'll read about—such as Jitter, MaskX, and Bitmask—are fictionalized versions of real-world concepts, adapted to highlight the complexities of being a global influencer in the digital age. 
    This story is not about judging right or wrong. It’s about understanding the nuances of leadership, innovation, and the responsibilities that come with power. Alon Mask, in all his brilliance and flaws, represents the struggle between pushing humanity forward and dealing with the consequences of that push. 
    I invite you to take this journey with an open mind, reflect on the lessons it offers, and ask yourself—what does it mean to be a leader in the modern era?

    When life makes you into the hero you never wanted to be. . . 
    Now that the cure has been found and distributed, Ruby’s ready to move ahead with the life she always wanted: small town, cute house, quiet job, with her boyfriend Sam by her side, of course. All she needs to do is foist the responsibility of ruling World Peace Now off onto her half-brother, Adam. Surely he’ll rise to the task of caring for the people with whom he grew up. 
    Sometimes that cape really starts to chafe. 
    But Ruby’s brother doesn’t want to rule any more than she does, and the people of World Peace Now aren’t too keen on being fobbed off. Ruby could just walk away, and a year ago, she would have. But now that she’s grown an iron backbone, how can she leave the problems of the world to run and hide? When dangers begin to multiply, and Sam’s clearly miserable dealing with them all, Ruby realizes she has a bigger decision to make.  
    How many times is she really obligated to save the world. . .and what price is she willing to pay in order to do it?

    Linking the dying words of three slain strangers proves risky for Dalziel and Pascoe in this "shrewd . . . and deft" mystery (The New York Times). 
     
     
      
    Reginald Hill "raised the classical British mystery to new heights" when he introduced pugnacious Yorkshire Det. Inspector Andrew Dalziel and his partner, the callow Sgt. Peter Pascoe (The New York Times Book Review). Their chafing differences in education, manners, technique, and temperament made them "the most remarkable duo in the annals of crime fiction" (Toronto Star). The Gold Dagger Award–winning series was adapted into a long-running hit show for the BBC. 
     
     
      
    On the same night, three old men are offed: One is found in the icy rain sputtering the name "Polly" before expiring; another mumbles "Charley" after being beaten in his bathtub; and most alarmingly, the final words of the third, a cyclist knocked off the road by a drunk driver, implicate Superintendent Andrew Dalziel in the fatal hit and run. Bearing the brunt of three seemingly disparate investigations while proving his partner's innocence, Peter Pascoe follows a confounding trail that leads to one victim's family secrets, a shady retirement community, and corruption within the CID's ranks that's putting more than Dalziel's already dicey reputation in peril.

    The ALL NEW heart-pounding thriller 👀 from the BESTSELLING author of The Honeymoon, Gemma Rogers💥 - A must-read for fans of Freida McFadden and Lisa Jewell! 
    Every family has their secrets… 
    No.6 Church Road was the Reilly family’s dream home. A recently renovated 3-storey house with just three occupants and more importantly a whole vacant top floor. So, there was plenty of space for one more. Right? 
    They had no idea I was sleeping in their empty loft conversion, cohabiting with them, eating their food, using their water, heating and Wi-Fi. Basically living for free, but it wasn’t for the thrill, I had discovered 'phrogging'. 
    It seemed like the perfect set-up, but when a local woman vanished, I suspected Jack Reilly was involved. You see I'd witnessed their illicit affair and Jack had a cast iron alibi, but I didn't believe it for one second. 
    The secrets in Church Road wouldn’t stay hidden for long, all I had to do was watch, wait and hope I wouldn’t be discovered. 
    A pacy, heart stopping, page turning thriller for the fans of Shari Lapena and Lisa Jewell.
