  “Sixth in the brilliantly researched and hauntingly rich Major Abel Jones Civil War mystery thrillers” from the bestselling author of Bold Sons of Erin (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).   Abel Jones arrives in New Orleans to investigate the death of a young crusader and finds himself facing fantastic rumors of the resurrected dead as the Union-occupied city approaches hysteria. The corpse of a Yankee heiress washes up on a levee. Citizens disappear in the night from the alleys of the French Quarter. Tales of ritual murder taunt the authorities—as an uneasy truce between newly freed slaves and their bankrupt former masters, voodoo priestesses, smugglers, and unwelcome Yankee troops stretches to the breaking point.    Paying tribute to the great literary traditions of New Orleans, Owen Parry leads us from the intrigue-haunted alleys of the French Quarter to the mysteries of nearby plantations and bayous to unravel the powerful superstitions and deadly force of greed that wind through this dark and rich adventure.  “A plot that twists and turns through voodoo and violence . . . Parry has a way with period color; his New Orleans lives and breathes.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch  “Parry is superb.” —Nashville Tennessean  “[The] satisfying sixth installment to Parry’s humorous, well-written and meticulously researched series of Civil War mysteries . . . all will delight in this installment’s continuing vivid historical detail and engaging protagonist.” —Publishers Weekly

  Twenty generations ago, the Sun burnt the Earth. Men have been walled in ever since. Until a kid finds the truth. 
  In a world where sunlight is forbidden and truth is heresy, one young man’s curiosity will either liberate humanity – or destroy everything he loves. 
  For twenty generations, humanity has hidden in viewless corridors, told that the Sun above has burned all life from the Earth. Boz has never questioned the Tenets that govern every aspect of their existence – until he meets Mozart the Heretic, whose disfigured face tells a different story about what really happened to those who sought the truth. 
  When Mozart reveals that the surface world still thrives in secret paradise, Boz faces an impossible choice: remain safely ignorant in his prison, or risk everything to discover what lies beyond the forbidden exits. Driven by his love for Flox, a remarkable young woman from the violent outer corridors, Boz embarks on a perilous journey through pitch-black tunnels toward the mythical ‘Land of Without’ for a mission as yet unknown to him. 
  What he finds shatters everything he believed. The surface world is not only habitable but beautiful – a garden paradise where the privileged few enjoy nature’s bounty while millions remain trapped below in ignorance. But when Boz learns the true, appalling content of his mission outside, he must choose between the liberation of his people and the virginity of his own conscience. In a world where every freedom demands a sacrifice, how do you choose between love and justice – especially when you’re no longer sure which is which?

  Description：
  Dive into a collection of twelve standalone psychological thrillers and horror stories that challenge perception and unravel reality. Each tale is a labyrinth of fear and suspense, where nothing is as it seems and every truth hides a darker secret.
  In "Witness", a man sees a murder—only for the police to find no evidence of the crime. When the killer calls him by name, his life spirals into a nightmare: his loved ones die under mysterious circumstances, and a near-fatal accident pushes him to the edge. Then a stranger hands him a mysterious phone—its flickering screen pulling him deeper into a conspiracy where reality itself begins to crumble.
  In "Terrifying Night", a woman looking forward to a peaceful evening alone realizes she's not alone—a warm cushion and a glint of a knife in the hallway tell her someone is hiding in her home. With her husband away and danger lurking in every shadow, she must confront an intruder whose intentions are as sharp as the blade they carry.
  
  ……
  The Unseen Truths is a chilling journey through paranoia, illusion, and terror—perfect for fans who like suspense and horror.

  THE INSPIRATION FOR JUSTIFIED: CITY PRIMEVAL ON FX 
  “As gritty and hard-driving a thriller as you’ll find….The action never stops, the language sings and stings.” —Washington Post 
  The City Primeval in Elmore Leonard’s relentlessly gripping classic noir is Detroit, the author’s much-maligned hometown and the setting for many of the Grand Master’s acclaimed crime novels. The “Alexander the Great of crime fiction” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) shines in these urban mean streets, setting up a downtown showdown between the psychopathic, thrill-killing “Oklahoma Wildman” and the dedicated city copy who’s determined to take him down. The creator of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens of TV’s Justified fame, Elmore Leonard is the equal of any writer who has ever captivated readers with dark tales of heists, hijacks, double-crosses, and murder—John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, and Robert Parker included—and nobody then or now is better.

  When Caleb Smith saved Francesca Hamilton from a nasty situation with her father, she was beyond grateful.
