For fans of mind-bending stakes: Think The Man in the High Castle meets Dark Matter, with a dash of Cloud Atlas’s interconnected destinies.
In a world where history took a different path after a pivotal 17th-century battle, historian Oskar Sobieski makes a shocking discovery: the reality he knows—a technologically advanced Eastern European nation that never lost its sovereignty—was never supposed to exist. When he touches an ancient coin, Oskar glimpses an alternate timeline where his homeland fell, was erased from maps for over a century, and fought desperately for its resurrection.
Researchers investigating these timeline anomalies are mysteriously dying, thrusting Oskar and the enigmatic diplomat Marie-Claire Poniatowska into a dangerous conspiracy. Together, they uncover a terrifying truth: entities known as the Architects have been manipulating reality itself, and now three divergent timelines are collapsing toward a catastrophic convergence.
With the gleaming fusion-powered city around them experiencing increasingly dangerous reality fluctuations, Oskar must confront his own alternate self—a bitter, scarred version from a timeline of occupation and struggle. As the barriers between realities thin, Oskar faces an impossible choice: which version of history deserves to survive?
A mind-bending thriller that reimagines European history through the lens of quantum physics, The Crown Splits weaves rich historical heritage with cutting-edge speculative fiction. The fate of multiple realities is in the balance in this world of royal intrigue, interdimensional entities, and impossible choices.

Exit Lines

Reginald Hill

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.
