Sinopsis

From a “master of the genre,” a psychological thriller about two brothers who are taken captive by a convicted serial killer. (New York Times bestselling authorClive Cussler) 
 
Orphaned by an act of senseless violence that took their mother from them, half-brothers Clarence Luckman and Elliott Danziger have been raised in state institutions, unaware of any world beyond its walls. But their lives take a sudden turn when they are seized as hostages by a convicted killer en route to death row. Earl Sheridan is a psychopath of the worst kind, and as he and his two hostages set off on a frenetic path through California down to Texas, Clarence and Elliot must come to terms with the ever-growing tide of violence in their wake. It’s a path that will force them to make a choice that will change their lives forever.  
 
 
 
Set in the 1960s, Bad Signs is a tale of the darkness within all of us, the inherent hope for salvation, and the ultimate consequences of evil. 
 
Praised by Alan Furst as a “uniquely gifted, passionate, and powerful writer,” R.J. Ellory delivers a thriller as beautiful as it is riveting, returning to the haunting ground of his international bestseller, A Quiet Belief in Angels. 
 
“A haunting thriller…an existential look at the nature of fate . . . gripping.” –Kirkus Reviews 
 
“Ellory brilliantly renders Clay’s sense of loss, loneliness, and fear?but also his resolute hope for salvation. Pair this striking mix of character study and thriller with John Hart’s similarly gripping Iron House.” —Booklist  
 
“A spellbinding and compelling thriller . . . Highly recommended.” —Midwest Book Review

    A bundle of books #1 (KNOCKOUT) and #2 (SUCKER PUNCH) in Mia Gold’s Holly Hands cozy mystery series. This bundle offers books one and two in one convenient file, with over 150,000 words of reading.
    
    In KNOCKOUT (Book #1), repossessing Lamborghinis and other exotic toys from criminals is second-hat for Holly. But finding a dead body—and solving a murder—is not. Luckily, Holly has Lucky by her side—a neglected pit bull she found on the wrong side of a job, who refuses to leave her side—and who, like her, has nowhere to go but up. Together, maybe they can crawl their way out of the urban hell of their bad slice of Baltimore, where coming home at night is even more dangerous than going to work. Maybe Holly can manage to get her young daughter the medical treatment she desperately needs, and manage to get her out of her dangerous public school and into the private school of her dreams. Just maybe, she can fall in love with that private school Dad from the other side of town and start a whole new life. Or maybe not. Life has never been easy for Holly. And if the past few days—and the dead body in her trunk—are any indication—it’s about to get a whole lot worse.
    
    In SUCKER PUNCH (Book #2), things seem like they may be looking up for Holly—until she is called into for her biggest job yet: to repo a mega-yacht. It seems like an absurd task, made more absurd by the mega party she encounters on board. Yet Holly is up for anything. But that doesn’t include dealing with a dead body. Or for having to solve yet another crime to keep herself out of jail.

    Strike first, or strike out . . . 
    Dr. Autumn Trent hasn’t even finished the paperwork from her first official case as a federal agent before she and the rest of the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit are called to Washington, DC to investigate a series of home invasions. The six victims have very little in common other than they’re all wealthy couples brutally slayed just hours before hosting a dinner party. Who targeted them, and why? 
    Most importantly...who’s next? 
    As the team joins forces with DC’s Violent Crimes Unit to decipher a pattern behind the murders, there’s more on Autumn’s mind than just the investigation. Aside from her personal life being in tatters, Autumn’s best friend is still haunted by the trauma she suffered at the hands of her younger brother, and tension is mounting between Autumn and Chris Parker, a fellow agent with an ax to grind. 
    Autumn can’t think about any of that right now because a vicious predator is hungry for blood. She and her team are in a race against time. Can they stop the madness before the killer strikes again? 
    Autumn’s Strike, the seventh book in Mary Stone’s Autumn Trent Series, is an adrenaline-laced psychological thriller that will make you think twice before opening your door.

    Never far from centre stage, Edwina Currie falls comfortably into that category of celebrity you simply cannot ignore. Her first published diaries explosively revealed an affair with former Prime Minister John Major. This second volume, which begins in 1992 with her refusal to serve in Major's government, is no less revelatory about her colleagues, encounters with others in the public eye and, of course, her extraordinary career. Honest, compulsive and of the moment, this collection covers her life in Parliament up to the election of Blair's Labour government, but more importantly sees Edwina's emergence as a mainstay in the public imagination, first as a bestselling author, then as a commentator, broadcaster, presenter and performer. Shot through with her trademark effervescence and sense of fun, this volume of diaries documents one of the biggest characters in British public life at her saucy, scathing best.
