  Lights go out in Maine. Then Georgia. A ransom note demands one billion dollars. As Weezy, Joe, and the government struggle to find a solution. Then Weezy gets a fail deadly—a ticking time bomb of data that will destroy the Russian oligarchs if it’s released on the ’net. When Weezy is kidnapped by the Sobaki to force her to keep the fail deadly closed, she becomes the NSA’s prime suspect. Joe’s frantic search for her leads him to becoming a prisoner, too. As Weezy’s hacker friends and the NSA race to find them, how long can she withstand the cruel agony of torture? If they can’t outwit the Sobaki, the lights will go out permanently for all of them.

  When retired former spy Felicity Jardine's mission to drown herself is interrupted by a baby drifting down river, her training kicks in at once. She manages to save the baby, and conceals them both from the shady-looking man who is searching for it.
  Then an elderly neighbour to whom she bears a resemblance is found dead, and Felicity knows she's been rumbled. She has to dust off the highly trained and resourceful secret service officer she used to be, ensure the safety of the baby, and re-enter the fray.
  She can count on the help of two former MI6 colleagues to identify the murderer and find out exactly what's going on. But Felicity will soon realise that her work in 1970s Germany and her present are entangled – and she will have to face some hard truths before she can confront the demons of her past.

  An engineer, Victor Hatherley, attends Dr Watson's surgery after his thumb is chopped off, and recounts his tale to Watson and Holmes. Hatherley had been hired for 50 guineas to repair a machine he was told compressed Fuller's earth into bricks. Hatherley was told to keep the job confidential, and was transported to the job in a carriage with frosted glass, to keep the location secret. He was shown the press, but on closer inspection discovered a "crust of metallic deposit" on the press, and he suspected it was not being used for compressing earth. He confronted his employer, who attacked him, and during his escape his thumb is chopped off. Holmes deduces that the press is being used to produce counterfeit coins, and works out its location. However, when they arrive, the house is on fire, and the criminals have escaped.

  In a world where motherhood can be a crime, a woman risks everything to defy those in power . . . Ten years after the world took drastic action to rein in overpopulation, Elspeth suspects she is pregnant—illegally—after a brief, alcohol-fuelled fling with Nick.

As Elspeth tries desperately to keep her condition hidden from the authorities, a female detective becomes convinced something illicit is going on—and tries to resuscitate her own troubled career by pursuing this lawbreaker. But behind the scenes, two people are determined to come to Elspeth’s aid. One is someone close to her who has a secret. The other is someone she would never have expected. Now, as danger closes in, how far will they go to keep Elspeth—and her unborn baby—safe?
