  A woman thinks she’s found her long-missing sister, but the discovery only leads to more questions in this wrenching thriller by the author of The Deception. Elise McDonald is sure she has just spotted her sister, Grace, in a department store in Leeds. The last time she saw her was fourteen years ago, at Grace’s third birthday party, when the children scattered during a game of hide and seek—but Grace never returned from her hiding place. When the girl approaches, she introduces herself as Ruth and chats about her father, a doctor, and the village she grew up in. But Elise believes that Ruth is really Grace—even if she doesn’t know it. Elise’s family dismisses her theory, claiming that pregnancy is making her hormonal and irrational. But her aunt, at least, is willing to help her investigate—and eventually Jack Priestly, the original detective on the case, is drawn in as well. Is there any chance they can solve a cold case the police had long given up on—or is Elise deluding herself? And if she’s right, what really happened on that fateful day?

  The Iron Republic - Journey...

  Richard Jameson Morgan

  The origins of the Iron Republic are somewhat obscure. Its authorship is commonly attributed to Richard Bennett, also known as Richard Jameson Morgan. Of course, other names have been associated with the book, like James M. Schurbath and Dr. James Cleave Symmes, Jr. But ultimately, there is no conclusive evidence that confirms any of these individuals as sole authors or contributors to the Iron Republic. The book also shares some sparse connections to the speculative fiction genre that began flourishing during the same time in the early 1900’s. However, there is no definitive proof that the story was written as PURE science fiction. The Iron Republic appears in 1902 as an article in the Florida Magazine and for over 100 years since its publication, this body of work, so rich in technical detail, was able to predict technology we use today, yet did not exist then. How has this story been so grossly overlooked for so long? And in our modern world of ubiquitous information, how have the origins of this manuscript remained so unclear? Is it possible that the author was a clairvoyant genius and the most uncelebrated sci-fi writer the world never knew? Or is it also possible that the Iron Republic is a TRUE account of the events and discoveries of J. Edward Barrington, who bought a boat and set sail for the unknown mysteries of Antarctica? That is for you, the reader, to decide.

  From REMINGTON KANE, the author of the REVENGE Series and the TANNER Series 
  ALIBI: MURDER - A thrilling murder mystery with deadly twists, romance, and a shocking finale 
  A man accused of murder has the perfect alibi—he was killing someone else. 
  John Beckett stands accused of the brutal murder of his wife, but he knows the truth: he is innocent. However, his alibi only makes things worse—he was committing premeditated murder at the time of his wife’s death. 
  As the evidence stacks against him and the investigation, led by a driven female detective, grows more intense, Beckett must face the horrifying reality that someone has framed him for his wife’s murder. 
  Was it the police chief, a jilted lover seeking revenge on Laura for leaving him to be with Beckett? Or perhaps the town’s notorious peeping tom, whose twisted desires may have turned violent? Beckett’s own brother-in-law, an alcoholic with a history of violence, could also be a suspect.  
  As Beckett fights to clear his name and stay out of prison, he finds himself drawn to his beautiful defense attorney. But as their attraction grows stronger, so does the danger surrounding them. Will they discover the true killer before it’s too late? Or will Beckett be sentenced to a life behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit? 
  With each passing day, Beckett’s fate hangs in the balance as he desperately tries to unravel the web of lies and deceit surrounding his wife’s death. The tension builds as secrets are uncovered and dark motives are revealed, leading to a shocking climax both inside and outside of the courtroom, which will leave readers on the edge of their seats. 
  Can Beckett find justice and clear his name, or will he become another casualty in a deadly game of betrayal and revenge?
