Sinossi

Amidst the beauty of the isles, a bond is forged that will last a lifetime.

In the summer of 1978, young Colin Quinn spends time on South Uist with his uncle, Dr Ruairidh Gillies. As Scotland's World Cup hopes in Argentina stir the nation, Colin and Ruairidh forge a deeper bond amidst the beauty, isolation and rich storytelling of the Outer Hebrides.But, as the days pass, a dark cloud gathers over this idyllic summer and the local folklore capturing Colin's attention begins to hold a sobering mirror to the present.

A Summer Like No Other is a moving exploration of family, connection, and the haunting forces that shape our lives. Martin MacIntyre's compelling narrative draws us deeply into that complex changing world, making us care every step of the way.

    For Olgerd, the month in recovery which followed his month-long full immersion stint in Mirror World may have felt like a single day. But while he relaxed in the bosom of his loving family, in-game events progressed in leaps and bounds. 
     
     
     
    The clans of both Light and Dark continue their lightning expansion into No-Man's Lands. Reports of violent clashes between clan scouts—both with other contestants and local top-level monsters—fill the pages of game and multimedia news feeds as everyone is trying to win the juiciest morsels of these new territories for themselves. 
     
     
     
    Olgerd knows that the Dark players still have a grudge against him—and that their rickety truce with the players of Light might be broken at any moment. Then the valleys of the Silver Mountains will fall prey to new invaders. 
     
     
     
    Olgerd needs to help the Calteans mount defenses for their new settlement. Which means it's time for him to get back into the game.

    A string of murders around a frozen lake on the American-Canadian border leads the FBI and Canada to create an elite unit to tackle cross-border killers. FBI BAU Special Agent Katie Winter, originally from the Upper Peninsula and accustomed to its harsh winters and rough terrain, is the perfect candidate—yet with the childhood disappearance of her sister still haunting her, it was the one place Katie had hoped never to return.
    
    “Molly Black has written a taut thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat… I absolutely loved this book and can’t wait to read the next book in the series!”
    —Reader review for Girl One: Murder
    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    
    SAVE ME is the debut novel in a new series by #1 bestselling mystery and suspense author Molly Black.
    
    FBI Special Agent Katie Winter is no stranger to frigid winters, isolation, and dangerous cases. With her sterling record of hunting down serial killers, she is a fast-rising star in the BAU, and when a woman is discovered in the middle of a frozen lake, Katie is the natural choice to partner with Canadian law enforcement to track the killer across the brutal and unforgiving landscape.
    
    But tensions run high between Katie and her new Canadian partner, and time is running out before the killer’s trail goes cold. The case also conjures the demons of her own past: Katie’s younger sister, vanished years ago on the shore of the very same lake, a case that remains unsolved.
    
    Can Katie keep her demons at bay long enough to enter a killer’s mind and stop him before it’s too late? 
    
    Or will this diabolical monster outwit her in his game of cat and mouse?
    
    A complex psychological crime thriller full of twists and turns and packed with heart-pounding suspense, the KATIE WINTER mystery series will make you fall in love with a brilliant new female protagonist and keep you turning pages late into the night.
    
    Books #2 and #3 in the series—REACH ME and HIDE ME—are now also available.
