  Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 1948 
  Someone wants Edwin McMasters dead. He’s old. He’s loaded. He’s a ruthless businessman. And he has three greedy adult children who stand to inherit a fortune, and the family business, when he’s gone. Is it one of them or one of his business rivals? 
  After a brief phone call with the cranky millionaire, Lacey Stocking, one half of the Hardley A. Witt Detective Agency, reluctantly takes the case. Lacey and Hardley expect a quick meeting with their client to discuss details. Instead, they’re hauled off at gunpoint to the McMasters’ family estate to uncover who wants the old man dead. With a shadowy figure lurking about, death threats, and a missing daughter will Lacey and Hardley stop the killer before it’s too late?

  ONE NIGHT LOCKED IN THE LIBRARY. 
   
  WHAT COULD GO WRONG? 
   
  On the night before graduation, seven students gather in the basement of their university’s rare books library. They’re not allowed in the library after closing time, but it’s the perfect place for the ritual they want to perform—one borrowed from the Greeks, said to free  
  those who take part in it from the fear of death. And what better time to seek the wisdom of ancient gods than in the hours before they’ll scatter in different directions to start their real lives? 
   
  But just a few minutes into their celebration, the lights go out—and one of them drops dead. As the body count rises, with nothing but the books to protect them, the group must figure out how to survive the night while trapped with a murderer. That Night in the Library is  
  a chilling literary mystery that transports readers to a world where secrets live in the dark, books breathe fears to life, and the only way out is to wait until morning.

  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.
