Beschreibung

Yorkshire, 1983. Margaret Thatcher is in Number 10, 'Thriller' is on the radio and Lorraine Quick is having to put plans to tour with her band on hold due to work. With her expertise in psychometric testing, she is being sent to the Yorkshire moors to build a PR-friendly team out of the ragtag staff of the infamous Windwell Asylum as it transitions into a modern, top-security unit housing some of the most dangerous criminals in the country.


And then Lorraine stumbles on a brutal murder that has taken place despite the fifteen-foot-high perimeter wall and the heavy-duty locks. Between the asylum's lingering reputation for violence, the haunting underground tunnels of the old institution and the arrival of almost-old flame DS Diaz to investigate the murder, events are coming to a head for Lorraine.

    _The Frazier family has been through a lot of turmoil over the last few years. After Tallulah and Peter suffered the invasion of Trent Lockley, it took some time and therapy for the crazy bunch to get back on track. They are not what they once were, but many people might say they are even stronger now. Vladimir has always been the oddball among the Frazier kids. With his love for reptiles, gothic appearance, and devil may care attitude; he can be easily separated from the rest of the Frazier bunch. At twenty-two, he is standing on solid ground and trying to create a life of his own. However, it does get lonely sometimes. He is young but knows his days of partying and sleeping around cannot last forever. Growing up in a small town and deciding to stay there does not leave him with many options. He still hangs out with the same friends he always has and is slowly running out of options when it comes to the female population of Tyler, Texas. That is until Carrisa Abbott walks into the pet store where Vladimir works. Of course, she is accompanied by her controlling, hotheaded boyfriend Jalal, so Vladimir eases back, not wanting to step on anyone's toes. He is still a Gentleman. Little did Vladimir know, that would not be the last time he saw Carrisa; it turns out she needed help, and Vladimir was all too willing to swoop in and save the day. His good intentions find a way of backfiring on him. No good deed goes unpunished. Vladimir has started a war with his act of not-so-random-kindness. Now he needs to suit up and get ready for the battle. Good thing he has the Frazier boys to back him up._

    The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Volume 9:
    Throughout many years, Dr. John H. Watson accompanied his friend and companion Sherlock Holmes in solving countless mysteries and crimes. Beginning in the 1880s and into the 20th century, Holmes consistently held his status as the world’s most brilliant and successful detective. His accomplishments were painstakingly chronicled by Watson in notes that relate the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Many of his accounts have been published and are well-known to a broad readership.
    There were times, however, when Watson would refrain from publishing his writings during his lifetime. He would do so for various reasons: At times, he would find himself forced to keep actual events and background information secret for moral, criminal, or financial reasons. Other times, he would want to either avoid potential political, legal, or social scandals or even damage to his own—or Holmes’s—reputation. Some of Watson’s accounts, however, were simply not published at the time because he was occupied with more important or urgent matters.
    The New Adventures brings to the public for the very first time some of Watson’s accounts of Sherlock Holmes cases previously kept under lock and key.

    In this new thriller from the author of The Yards, a cop tracks the kidnapped teenage daughter of a wealthy developer in a transitioning Rust Belt town. 
     
     
     
    A new Nissan plant is coming to the depressed Rust Belt town of Baxter, and Captain Delia Mariola has been busy cleaning up the crime-addled city ever since the deal was announced. But when the fifteen-year-old daughter of the lead bidder on the construction project—a wealthy out-of-towner—suddenly disappears, and it becomes clear that a professional kidnapping ring may be responsible, Delia realizes that the factory's influx of cash could bring with it an entirely new sort of danger, never before considered in this working class milieu. 
     
     
     
    Though Elizabeth's abduction was well-planned and bearing the mark of an experienced team, her captors could not have anticipated the quick and clever brilliance of the exceptionally smart teen. From the trunk of the car where she is held, she soon devises a clever trick to get cryptic messages to those who love her back down the highway in Baxter. The only problem is that the messages might be too cryptic even for their recipients to decipher. If Delia has any hope of bringing the girl home unharmed, she'll have to crack the code and discover the meaning behind the message. And unless she does it fast, there may be nobody left to save . . .
