  Three gripping time-travel tales of love and murder… 
  BEFORE THE KILLING: After 19-year-old Cassie returns home from her first year away at college, her boyfriend, Julian, is implicated in a brutal killing. Seven years later, a freak occurrence gives Cassie a unique time-traveling ability, allowing her to re-live that earlier time with the benefit of foreknowledge. But in witnessing the truth, she inadvertently reveals herself to the killer, who pursues her in past and present both. “Once I started I couldn’t put it down!” -Bookshelf Adventures 
  BEFORE SHE WAS TAKEN: 25-year-old Rebecca Danser's life is a mess ever since she was six and her younger sister Sadie disappeared on her watch. But then she realizes the time-traveling ability she recently gained can be used to discover who took Sadie that fateful day. What she learns leads her into a remote forest in the Sierra Mountains, where the monster responsible for the destruction of her family lies in wait for her. "A cleverly plotted fantasy thriller with a strong cast of characters." -The Wishing Shelf Book Award 
  BEFORE HE VANISHED: Still troubled by the growing sense that she should be using her unique ability to save others who've gone missing, Rebecca takes up the case of a Black-American boy who vanished a year ago. Frustrated that police and media have made little effort to find 13-year-old Ethan Pitt or publicize his disappearance, she jumps back in time to discover what really happened. But Rebecca puts her past and present at great risk as she narrows down the suspects and infiltrates the lair of the ruthless manipulator most likely responsible for Ethan's vanishing. “Mystery fans will love this plot device, which takes a straightforward whodunit to an otherworldly level." -The BookLife Prize 
  "(Benedict's) prose is crisp and purposeful, charged with feeling, and always attuned to what will engage readers in each moment." (The BookLife Prize)

  Another thrilling novel of the war at sea from the author of Tug of War and Flotilla Attack. 
   
   
   
  Already two German battleships, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, had slipped through the English Channel under the bows of the British Fleet. Now, the Third Reich's largest and most deadly warship, the Tirpitz, had only one possible destination on Europe's Atlantic coast: the formidable dry dock of St Nazaire. 
   
   
   
  HMS Rose, aged and jinxed destroyer, was detailed to join the daring mission to destroy the entire dry dock of St Nazaire. She found herself not, as planned, backing up Operation Chariot as a troop ship, but fighting alone in the icy, fogbound seas—shot to hell and 300 miles between her and home . . .

  In the fog-shrouded streets of Edwardian London, legendary detective Sherlock Holmes is drawn into a deceptively simple case: an elderly widow receives a mysterious offer to buy her home — the very house called Three Gables — along with every item of its furniture, so long as nothing may ever leave it. What follows is a twist-laden investigation involving a murdered diplomat’s secret manuscript, hired thugs, a glamorous widow with something to hide, and Watson silently watching the game unfold at Baker Street. Doyle’s masterful blend of suspense, society scandal and classic deduction makes this short story a standout in the “Case-Book” collection. Read on for intrigue, deception and Holmes at his most cunning.

  It takes a lot for Salem locals to get excited about their town being known as "the witch city." But when a major studio arrives to shoot a witchcraft-themed movie, folks go Hollywood. For WICH-TV'S program director and chief documentary-maker, Lee Barrett, however, the project may come complete with a real-life death scene . . . 
   
   
   
  Between documenting the progress of the movie, corralling starstruck fans, and managing unmanageable traffic on Salem's narrow streets, Lee and her police detective husband, Pete Mondello, are beyond busy. Even Lee's best friend, River North, tarot card reader and practicing witch, gets in on the action, landing a job as a stand-in and body double. But it only takes one interview for Lee to realize that the male and female leads—whose roles include torrid love scenes—despise each other. Yet the problem is short-lived, literally . . . 
   
   
   
  When the lead actress is found dead on a set staged to replicate the room where suspected witches were tried in 1692—and her on-screen lover, in full costume, is discovered sound asleep in her trailer—the hunt is on for a killer on the loose. Now, even with help from River's entire coven, Lee's Aunt Ibby, and O'Ryan, a clairvoyant gentleman cat, sorting out a witch's brew of secrets, sorcery, and special effects might turn Lee's documentary into her own final act . . .
