  In a sleepy English village, where scandal whispers under a polite facade, a single act of betrayal erupts into a mystery that entangles everyone. In Motive v. Opportunity, Miss Marple faces one of her most baffling dilemmas: when both motive and opportunity lie in plain sight, what reveals the real killer? Every character seems cloaked in a blend of innocence and cunning, each with their own murky secrets. But the question is not who had a reason or the chance—it's who had the audacity. Can Miss Marple's sharp instincts pierce through layers of lies, or will this crime remain unsolved, hidden behind a mask of politeness? Step into a world where every smile may conceal a threat, and every motive may be more deadly than it app

  A haunting murder and kidnapping on the outskirts of Salem, Massachusetts, sends two people with unique talents hunting for answers from both the past and present in internationally bestselling author Heather Graham’s electrifying new Krewe of Hunters spin-off for fans of Stephen King, Jayne Ann Krentz, Riley Sager, and Simone St. James. 
    
  Skye McMahon sees things. Good and bad, the past unreels in her mind’s eye like a movie. That’s why she’s been summoned by Special Supervisory paranormal investigators Jackson and Angela Crowe, to help solve a mystifying murder and kidnapping on the outskirts of historic Salem. 
    
  Alicia Bolton discovered her grandfather-in-law murdered, her nanny and her young son have both vanished without a trace, and her infant daughter was found terrified and crying in her playpen. Skye, partnered with Zachary Erickson, a charmer with a psychic touch, is at first beset only by visions of Salem’s witch trials and the tragic, paranoia-fueled executions. Then she sets foot in the Bolton’s house. 
    
  What Skye sees is not another innocent from the 17th century swinging from a noose, but a bona fide crone, pointed hat and all, preying on the family like something from a nightmarish fairy tale. And when another local woman and her daughter inexplicably vanish, Skye has a second vision—that same witch creeping up on new victims on a lonely Salem road. It’s impossible to believe. Yet Skye’s visions never lie. 
    
  As Skye and Zachary grow closer, they’re lured into a mystery enveloping Salem like a fog. Navigating suspects, whispers of a cult, and a sinister history that threatens to reignite, with Zachary’s help, only Skye can see the way to find the missing—but first, she may have to dance with the devil himself.

  Punjab - Jihna Raaha di Main...

  The English book “Yanar” written by Amandeep Singh Sandhu challenges existing boundaries. Its Punjabi translation was done by Yadvinder Singh and Mangat Ram. This book can be classified as journalism, memoir, and novel all at once. Many decades ago, a similar book called “Aag Ka Darya” (by Qurratul Ain Haider) was written, which explored the idea of “Hindustaniyat” (Indian identity). In this book, Sandhu searches for “Punjabiat” (Punjabi identity). According to him, simplicity and resistance are key traits of Punjabiat. Amandeep Singh spent his early years in the industrial city of Rourkela in India. During that time, he saw Punjab in small glimpses. People from other Indian states have different ideas about Punjab. When they think of “Punjab,” images of Sikhs, bhangra, bandits, gurdwaras, langar, Khalistan, Green Revolution, dhol, butter chicken, and the five rivers come to mind. But is Punjab only this? The story in the book spans from 1913 to 1918, but it also takes readers on a deeper journey—from the culture of Sindh Valley to the rise of common people’s parties. It discusses major political groups and figures like Congress, Communist parties, Akali Party, Bhindranwala, Prakash Singh Badal, Captain Amarinder Singh, and Kejriwal. It also covers the work of key religious and social groups in Punjab, including prominent dera leaders, Radha Soami, Sacha Sauda, Nirankari, and Sant Ballan Wale.
