  My name is Nora Black, and I'm having a very merry messy midlife Christmas! 
   
   
   
  Fifties are the new forties and I'm living my best life ever. I may have a few more aches and pains, graying roots, and couple extra pounds, but I also have two quirky best friends who always have my back, business is booming, and my love life has never been better or hotter. 
   
   
   
  That is until my sweetie Ezra Holden invites me home for Christmas to meet his family. 
   
   
   
  The season is full of surprises in Ezra's hometown, like a missing cousin, a case of mistaken identity, and a slew of painful memories—none of them my own. 
   
   
   
  This Holden Family Holiday should be filled with scents of peppermint, gingerbread, and pine, but all I smell is danger. It turns out my psychic nose really is the gift that keeps on giving.

  The forest remembers. The caves never tell. And some secrets refuse to stay buried.
  
  At Katthamra Manor, the line between myth and reality is dangerously thin. In the forest of twisted trees, compasses fail, clocks stop, and the locals whisper of 'The Little People' who lure the unwary into the earth. Nine-year-old Andreas Nilsson knows the woods better than anyone - and he knows a secret that could destroy his town. Carrying a stolen skull on his bicycle rack and haunted by the suspicious drowning of his brother, Andreas is playing a game he cannot win.
  
  Detective Inspector Maria Wern arrived on the island of Gotland seeking the quiet solace of a summer assignment to escape the wreckage of her divorce. But the peace is shattered just before Midsummer when Andreas vanishes after a party at a local fishing camp.
  
  The search leads Maria into the claustrophobic darkness of the Östergarn caves, where generations of school children have carved their names into the stone. Deep in the shadows, Maria discovers two names encircled by a heart - a relic of an old love that was supposed to be dead. As the town's folklore bleeds into a grim reality, Maria realizes that the boy's disappearance is linked to a decades-old betrayal. In a land where the clocks have stopped, Maria is running out of time to find Andreas before he becomes another ghost in the hills.
  
  In this atmospheric eighth installment of the Maria Wern series, Anna Jansson weaves a masterclass of psychological suspense, proving that while old love never dies, it can certainly kill.

  To all those who lead monotonous lives in the hope they may experience at second-hand the delights and dangers of adventure. —Told by the bestselling book writer of all time 
  It was 2 p.m. on the afternoon of May 7, 1915. The Lusitania had been struck by two torpedoes in succession and was sinking rapidly, while life-saving boats were being launched with all possible speed. The women and children were being lined up awaiting their turn. Some still clung desperately to husbands and fathers; others clutched their children closely to their breasts. One girl stood alone, slightly apart from the rest. She was quite young, not more than eighteen. She did not seem afraid. 
  The Lusitania settled with a more decided list to starboard. In answer to a quick command, the girl went forward to take her place on an escaping rescue boat.

  #13 Dog's Waiting Room 
  Amateur sleuth Steve Levitan and his clue-sniffing golden retriever Rochester face two deaths in the 12th full-length novel in this long-running series. An Alzheimer’s patient slips away from home on his own and tumbles into the Delaware River. And then Steve’s love Lili suffers the crushing loss of her mother in a Miami Beach hospital. 
  Eckhardt Lalor left behind a fortune in real estate, a fractured family, and a bitter legacy as a city slumlord. Does that add up to murder? 
  #14 Dog's Honest Truth 
  There’s a new dog in town – a golden retriever named Luke, in training to be a seeing-eye dog. He and Rochester immediately bond, but there’s something odd about Luke’s human, Ben Ji. How can someone so young afford an expensive townhouse on Sarajevo Way? When Ben is shot, Steve begins to discover the lies he has been telling. 
  Steve’s also forced to tell the truth about his past, when he deals with a student plagiarist at Eastern College, a professor locked in the stone age, a climate activist with dangerous habits, an angry bartender—and a rifle-wielding assassin. 
  #15 All Dog's Children 
  For semi-reformed computer hacker Steve Levitan, his long-time girlfriend, Lili, is acting out of character, and he's eager to figure out why and how he can help her. But that gets delayed when Steve and his golden Rochester are brought onto investigate a double homicide in a posh neighborhood of Stewart's Crossing. 
  As Steve and Rochester dig deeper, they find that the motive to kill the couple might have a far more disturbing origin, and catching the killer requires Steve to bend all of the rules as a semi-reformed hacker.

  Error 404

  Thursday 1st September 2039. On the centenary of the Second World War, atheist scientist Chris Deckers exploits the planet's most powerful computer to reveal something so cataclysmic it makes five thousand years of recorded human history – wars, empires, revolutions, the lot – look like an underwhelming warm-up act.
   
  ERROR 404: GOD NOT FOUND.
   
  Yup. According to the most intelligent intelligence on the planet, the big old guy, as advertised, is a big old lie, dreamt up by Bronze Age shepherds who figured the only way to stop everyone coveting their oxen was to invent a punitive sky parent with an eggshell ego. And they left irrefutable evidence of their shaggy God story behind.
   
  Deckers should be rejoicing as his rational Eden is born. Instead, the baby's screaming. Civilisation has lost its existential marbles and the God-shaped hole he crowbarred open is being rapidly filled by something far more sinister.
   
  In a race to save humanity's soul, Deckers must face the one question he never thought to ask. 
   
  What if faith matters more than facts?
