  When Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson only by chance escape an arson attack at the Waldorf Hotel, they are glad to have found new lodgings in the apartment of Hampton Bank.

For precisely this reason, he confronts Holmes with a case requiring special care: a secret banking meeting in the state of Georgia was supposed to remain secret.

  The gripping new action thriller novel from the million-copy bestselling author of the Matt Drake series 
  Ex-MI5 operative Joe Mason is on a mission to rescue a friend who has been kidnapped. Meanwhile, ancient coins – remnants of a Chinese casino buried for six hundred years – are starting to surface in Japan's clandestine underworld. 
  Mason knows the coins and kidnapping are linked. Someone has finally unearthed the long-buried ancient casino, and its riches – both financial and archaeological – are now up for grabs. But hidden forces are desperate to conceal the discovery and take it for themselves, kidnapping and killing to silence anyone in their path. 
  In a high-stakes battle to reveal the casino to the world, Joe and his team race across the region, from high-rise Hong Kong to Tokyo's bustling markets to the covert gambling rings of Osaka. But they are being hunted by elite forces – and it’s only a matter of time before the target on their back catches up with them. 
  In this perilous quest for the world’s oldest casino, Mason must find the site before his enemies find him. But can he unearth the secrets of the gold in time? 
  In this sequel, Mason's military expertise and espionage skills are put to the test as he navigates the political and technological challenges of the underworld. The suspense of the story keeps readers on the edge of their seats, as Mason's perilous quest for the world’s oldest casino becomes a thrilling race against time.

  Down in the dusty tomes vault of Bookhaven, where bookbinders glue riddles into bindings and rare book collectors hunt for volumes of the vanished, binder Theo binds a mystery with collector Lira, whose hunts uncover a narrative of pilfered pages. Their book, glued in page vows and tome-kissed spines, binds truth—or cracks in adhesive doubts of forgery. As they catalog through vault-laced shelves and riddle-bound folios, bound by ink wardens and volume rivals, Theo's binding craft merges with Lira's collecting passion, revealing a bookbinder legend of bound tale. When a loose page summons ink golems, they must glue the riddle to seal the story. In the bind of bookbinder's glue, where every secret pages the plot and every hunt turns the leaf, their gentle mystery becomes the volume that shelves the vault's enigmas.
