Bombs detonated in every major city across England, releasing the little known ‘Non Compos Mentis Virus,’ and with it destroying seventy-five percent of the population. However, the virus didn’t kill those who contracted it, but instead infected their minds and senses, turning them in to violent psychopaths that can feel no pain and also gave them a new goal in life; to destroy anyone who does not carry the same virus. Bucky Jackson awakes from a minibus crash that killed most of his school cricket team. Rescued by his friend Johnny, the remaining kids and teachers seek sanctuary inside a hardware shop in a small, Northamptonshire town.As the days pass, they decide to try for a safe zone at a football stadium a few towns away. With every step danger lurks, not only from the zombies that swarm the area in their thousands, but more so from the handful of people who survived the virus outbreak. As their journey continues, Bucky is looked to as a leader to help them reach their destination. They encounter killer clowns, hordes of the undead and an organised crime outfit as well as dealing with treachery within their own group. Bucky must learn to unite his team and teach them to rely on each other, as their journey may be longer than anticipated….Zum Buch

When DNA results reveal a disturbing connection to the mysterious disappearance of a famous baby nearly three decades ago, a woman’s search for answers draws her to an ominous small town in Nevada and a dangerous web of corruption, power, and lies in this engrossing, propulsive new novel from the internationally bestselling author of Twenty Years Later. THIRTY YEARS AGO, BABY CHARLOTTE VANISHED. TODAY, SHE WANTS ANSWERS. On the first day of an elite two-year fellowship, Sloan Hastings receives a research assignment in the emerging field of forensic genealogy. It’s the exciting, rapidly evolving science behind the recent breaks in high-profile cold cases from the Golden State Killer to the Cameron Young murder, and Sloan enthusiastically begins by submitting her own DNA to an online genealogy site. Her goal is to better understand the treasure trove of genetic information contained on ancestry websites, but the results she receives are shocking. Raised by loving parents, Sloan has always known she was adopted. But her DNA profile suggests her true identity is that of Charlotte Margolis, aka “Baby Charlotte,” who captured the nation’s attention when she and her affluent parents mysteriously vanished in July 1995. Despite a large-scale investigation and months of broad media coverage, there were never any suspects, and the case has been cold for decades. Racing to stay ahead of the media and true crime junkies ravenous to know what really happened to Baby Charlotte, Sloan’s search for answers leads her to small-town Cedar Creek, Nevada. There, the Margolis family’s power and influence permeate every corner of the county, and while Sloan’s birth relatives are initially welcoming, they’re also mysterious and tight-lipped. Not everyone seems happy about Sloan’s return, or the questions she’s asking. The more she learns, the more apparent it becomes that the answers Sloan seeks are buried in a graveyard of Margolis family secrets. And someone will do anything to keep them hidden...

Misty Valley is on the brink of transformation—and not everyone will survive the change. As journalists flood town for a high-profile announcement promising progress, prosperity, and a Grand Prix–fueled future, Ebrel Dymestl is just trying to keep her café running and her magic under control. Being a newly awakened witch is complicated enough. Doing it under a limiter bracelet while supernatural tensions rise? That’s a recipe for disaster. When a pixie gossip columnist is murdered in front of the press—killed with something as mundane as a newspaper—Ebrel knows the chaos isn’t accidental. As rival columnists clash, old magical grudges resurface, and a long-buried feud escalates into a sanctioned duel, Misty Valley begins to unravel. Then the magic goes very wrong. Floods. Failing spells. A deadly bolt that shouldn’t exist. And an unseen manipulator using Ebrel’s snarky feline familiar as the perfect scapegoat. As bodies fall and the town teeters on the edge of supernatural exposure, Ebrel is forced to dig deeper into a mystery that blends modern ambition with ancient magic. When she’s kidnapped and dragged toward a cliff with death waiting below, she’ll have to rely on allies she never expected—and powers she’s not sure she can control. Progress has a price. Magic always does. A French Press of Murder blends high-stakes urban fantasy with a cozy paranormal mystery heart—featuring witches under pressure, ghosts with opinions, deadly magical politics, and a heroine who just wanted a quiet cup of coffee.Zum Buch
