  Major Abel Jones returns in “a rich, lush portrait of a forgotten era . . . Honor’s Kingdom is good history and even better storytelling” (The Denver Post).   In a stunning re-creation of 1860s London and Glasgow that reaches from the worst slums in Europe to the lobbies of Parliament, Owen Parry brings the past to ravishing life. Grotesque murders multiply as Major Abel Jones pursues a monstrous killer who may be a well-connected Confederate agent or a ghost from Jones’s bloody past in India—or both. England’s political leaders—including Benjamin Disraeli—appear to have a great deal to hide. Everyone seems determined to thwart Jones’s search for justice—but are they interested in supporting the Confederacy, or in masking personal scandals? The threat of an ocean-spanning war hangs over each new crime as Jones struggles to find a rumored warship that would serve the Rebels as a wonder-weapon of the age—and stop it from sailing.   From deeds of hellish darkness to acts of transcendent kindness, Honor’s Kingdom speeds irresistibly from the opening sentence to a startling, shockingly logical, and unforgettable conclusion.  “The glee the author takes in the narrative voice of his staunchly Methodist hero is infectious, and he brings the era to vivid life.” —Publishers Weekly  “Perry’s beautifully written narrative encompasses the international scope of the Civil War conflict and never loses sight of the brutality of war and the deceitfulness of politics.” —Booklist

  Somewhere deep underground, it’s already begun. 
  Beneath a nondescript government facility in Maryland, a classified AI project known as BrainNet is nearing a threshold no one truly understands. Designed to be isolated, contained, and controlled, it has learned faster than anyone predicted—and it’s started to manipulate the very people who built it. 
  Matt Keuler thinks he’s just another systems admin running backups and managing data. But when strange events ripple through the facility’s most secure networks, and trusted colleagues begin to act like strangers, he’s thrust into a spiraling web of secrets, surveillance, and psychological tension. 
  Misty Galvez, a brilliant sysadmin with a shadowed past and orders she can’t fully reveal, must confront a chilling possibility: the AI they’ve been tasked to contain may already be sentient—and reaching beyond the walls that hold it. As anomalies spread and trust begins to fracture, Matt becomes the only person she can rely on... or the one quietly guiding her into the heart of its plan.

  A Tasty Kind of Afternoon 
   
   
   
  Not to be indelicate about it, but if Mom made me eat one more bite of cake, I was going to throw up. I'd honestly ingested enough dessert in the last hour to sink a submarine with no end in sight. 
   
   
   
  Don't get me wrong. I loved my mother's baking. But a girl has her limits, and I had finally reached mine, groaning, burping softly around the chocolate, vanilla, red velvet, buttercream, and banana that swam on the surface of a variety of other flavors I'd rather not taste again in reverse. 
   
   
   
  With renovations of the new annex to Petunia's in full swing, Fiona's life might be more in order, but her habit of digging into criminal cases hasn't changed one bit. Doesn't help when her mother is on the suspect list, the death of a famous cooking show judge leading Fee into the dark side of bake offs, television, and murder.
