  A body on display. 
  A message written in blood. 
  And a puzzle that defies logic. 
  DCI Jonathan Walker thought he’d seen it all—until a case in Lancaster forces him to read old crimes anew. When baffling clues surface in the city’s oldest institutions, Walker must navigate a web of secrets, public fury, and a riddle that won’t stay solved. Every answer seems to raise more questions, and the closer he gets, the more the stakes tighten. 
  When the hunt begins, you'd better be on the right side. 
  Atmospheric, propulsive and quietly unsettling, The Castle is a masterful police procedural that blends meticulous detective work with a slow-burn mystery. Perfect for readers who love tense, character-driven thrillers where history casts a long shadow. 
  Fans of Ian Rankin, Ann Cleeves, Michael Connelly, and LJ Ross will devour this one. 
  Step into Lancaster’s dark heart. But beware what you might uncover. 
  The Castle is the fifth book in the DCI Walker series - although it can be listened to as a standalone.

  Edie Dutton left Kansas with nothing but a few pieces of clothing, a handful of stolen bills, and a forged letter of reference. Since then, she's found a home as a Gilbert Girl at the Crest Stone Hotel. Even despite her transgression at the hotel last fall, she has a second chance to live the life she wants. But Edie Dutton is not her real name, and arriving along with all the newcomers to town comes word that her past may be on its way to put her future in jeopardy. 
   
   
   
  Fremont County Deputy James Wright has landed the perfect opportunity—keep peace in the growing town of Crest Stone. If he succeeds, he'll set himself up nicely to be elected town marshal. More than anything, he wants to do his uncle's memory justice. But unlike his uncle, he'll never let himself be distracted by a woman. That proves to be difficult when he meets Edie Dutton. 
   
   
   
  It isn't long before trouble moves closer to the valley. The rumor is that opposing gangs of outlaws from Kansas are behind it, stoking Edie's worst fear. She knows her new life is in danger. But when the outlaws escalate their crimes, James's life hangs in the balance. Edie must choose whether to forfeit everything she has, including James himself, in order to save his life. And when James discovers her true identity, he'll have to decide if love is worth giving up everything he's worked for.

  The art of love is awakening to things you never knew about yourself with someone you thought was just a friend . . . 
   
   
   
  Nick Turner has always been the big, shy, silent type. He's always let his metalwork and blacksmithing skills speak for him. But now, as a widower with two small children to raise in the midst of the eccentric Hawthorne family and a sculpture that needs completing to make the deadline for a national competition, he knows he's in over his head. 
   
   
   
  Thank God for Baxter Hawthorne dropping into his life . . . 
   
   
   
  Bax Hawthorne is the black sheep of his family. He's an accountant in a sea of artists. But that doesn't mean he's not just as free-spirited and ambitious as his kin. The one thing he never thought he'd be, however, was a father. But when he's thrown into proximity with Nick and ends up helping to take care of his kids in a pinch, all that might change. 
   
   
   
  Nick could have sworn he was straight, but the closer he gets to Bax, the more he questions that. 
   
   
   
  Could one night of sparks between them end up forging a bond that brings the whole family together? 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  Queer Little Nightmares

  The fiction and poetry of Queer Little Nightmares reimagines monsters old and new through a queer lens, subverting the horror gaze to celebrate ideas and identities canonically feared in monster lit. Throughout history, monsters have appeared in popular culture as stand-ins for the non-conforming, the marginalized of society. Pushed into the shadows as objects of fear, revulsion, and hostility, these characters have long conjured fascination and self-identification in the LGBTQ+ community, and over time, monsters have become queer icons. 
  In Queer Little Nightmares, creatures of myth and folklore seek belonging and intimate connection, cryptids challenge their outcast status, and classic movie monsters explore the experience of coming into queerness. The characters in these stories and poems — the Minotaur camouflaged in a crowd of cosplayers, a pubescent werewolf, a Hindu revenant waiting to reunite with her lover, a tender-hearted kaiju, a lagoon creature aching for the swimmers above him, a ghost of Pride past — relish their new sparkle in the spotlight. Pushing against tropes that have historically been used to demonize, the queer creators of this collection instead ask: What does it mean to be (and to love) a monster? 
  Contributors include Amber Dawn, David Demchuk, Hiromi Goto, jaye simpson, Eddy Boudel Tan, Matthew J. Trafford, and Kai Cheng Thom.
