    The maiden voyage of Titanic II promises luxury, fame, and spectacle—an irresistible gathering of billionaires, celebrities, and priceless treasures. But beneath the glittering surface, a daring heist is about to unfold. 
    Mastermind Scott Rainey, his brother Jay, and their elite crew have one audacious goal: steal every gem, watch, and artefact on board and vanish without a trace into the vast Atlantic. But as the plan edges closer to execution, the stakes soar higher than the ship’s grand decks. 
    Enter Candy—the newest member of the crew—whose dangerous charm ignites a volatile love triangle between the brothers, threatening to unravel their entire scheme. As tensions flare, an old nemesis lurks in the shadows: the relentless detective from their last job, piecing together clues that could sink their operation before it even begins. 
    With time slipping away, secrets surfacing, and trust eroding, Scott must navigate betrayal, desire, and mounting obstacles. Can he orchestrate the heist of the century and secure the love he craves—or will everything come crashing down like the ship’s ill-fated predecessor? 
    This stunning debut novel by Alan Hartwell will have you blasting through the pages late into the night. Written in a style reminiscent of Tarantino’s movies the characters are colourful, memorable and occasionally just the right side of cheeky villain. Although some, you might not want to meet alone down a dark alley. 
    This would appeal to readers who enjoy fresh, twisty, high-concept crime thrillers such as ‘The woman in cabin 10’ by Ruth Ware, ‘A fatal crossing’ by Tom Hindle or ‘The last passenger’ by Will Dean. It also has the audacious caper style of George Clayton Johnson’s ‘Ocean’s Eleven,’ 'The Thomas Crown Affair,' and many of the Elmore Leonard novels and maritime adventures with a modern twist.

But tranquility turns to terror when a high-profile investor—famous for his cutthroat business tactics—is found dead in the salt cave therapy room.

The prime suspect is the spa's head aromatherapist and owner, Chloe Sage, who very publicly threatened the investor after he tried to force her out of business.

    From IPPY gold medal winner Robert Cook comes the fourth installment in the Cooch series. With all the classic elements of a spy thriller—intrigue, violence, sex—The Mahdi is a narrative geopolitical battlefield where Islamic and Orthodox Jewish ideologies clash, seen through the lens of a modern, liberal Muslim. Raised in a blend of Bedouin tradition and Western education,Alex Cuchulain, Cooch, is a former US Marine, CIA operator, and entrepreneur. Partnered with Dr. Caitlin O’Connor, the self-described “smartest person in the world,” they make an unlikely yet formidable duo.When Alex takes on a mission to reclaim stolen Bedouin land, he finds himself imprisoned and branded a criminal. Meanwhile, Caitlin faces her own dangers, becoming the target of an extremist plot. But the rules of warfare change forever when Caitlin condenses an electromagnetic pulse into shootable ammunition and deploys an AI chatbot–quantum computer that can use the internet to control secure Israeli communications and provide strategic intel.As tensions escalate, some begin to believe that Alex may actually be the Mahdi, the prophesied redeemer of Islam. But can he shoulder that mantle? And can technology and enlightened thinking prevail over entrenched dogma?

    Stone Barrington is back. Stuart Woods has created no better known or loved character than the ex-cop, Manhattan attorney and investigator whose work treads the thin line between the respectable practice of law and the dark side of humanity. 
    In Dead in the Water, Stone has hardly arrived in St. Marks, a lovely Caribbean island nation, on a sailing vacation when something very strange happens: a beautiful young woman sails into the harbor, entirely alone on a large yacht. Before long, she is under the intense scrutiny of the local authorities, in the very considerable person of Sir Winston Sutherland, the minister of justice. The problem is, though she arrived alone, she had departed the other side of the Atlantic in the company of her husband, a well-known writer, who is no longer in evidence.  
    Evidence is what fascinates Stone Barrington, and he is all that stands between the apparently innocent Allison Manning and the patently evil intent of Sir Winston, whose motives are unclear. What is clear is that the St. Marks system of justice bears little resemblance to the American courts to which Stone is accustomed, and that his smallest error could prove fatal to his client. Dead in the Water is a rollercoaster ride, teeming with the plot twists that have made the novels of Stuart Woods New York Times bestsellers and international hits.

The arrival of Jack, the man she's adored since childhood, along with Culpepper's corpse, mean her hiding place is no longer safe. 
     
     
     
    But once Lady Elsa reveals herself to the unconventional inhabitants of Wycliffe Manor, they become the protective family she has never known. Outraged to learn the beautiful woman he once loved and lost has become a target of greed, Jack joins the investigation into Culpepper's death. 
     
     
     
    With a murderer on the loose, the amateur sleuths must unravel a deadly tangle of kidnappers and counterfeiters or the Manor's eccentric inhabitants will be in as much danger as their cook.
