As he delves deeper into the investigation, Maier is led to the White Spider, a Nazi war criminal who has taken refuge in an ancient Khmer temple deep in the Cambodian jungle. Captured and imprisoned by the White Spider, Maier must confront the horrors of the past and write the biography of a mass murderer, or face his own death.

The Devil's Road To Kathmandu: In 1976, Dan, Fred, Tim, and Thierry embarked on a journey along the hippie trail from London to Kathmandu. But after a drug deal gone wrong, they barely escaped with their lives. Years later, the remaining three friends receive mysterious emails inviting them to Kathmandu to collect their share of the money. They reunite, but soon find themselves entangled in a web of kidnapping and murder, spanning across the Himalayas. With the help of Dan's backpacking son, a tattooed lady, and a Buddhist angel, the ageing hippies confront their past and try to solve a 25-year-old mystery. As they venture amongst the Himalayan peaks, they are led towards a climactic showdown with their dark and dangerous history.

The Green Panthers: The Green Panthers are a multi-national underground army sponsored by private entities, whose mission is to hold corporate polluters accountable. During the attempted rescue of a snow leopard in Siberia, they stumble upon Project SILEO, a plot by millionaires to abandon a dying planet due to climate change and pollution. However, the Panthers soon realize that SILEO hides an even greater threat to humanity. As they race against time to stop the Slow King's apocalyptic ambitions, which span from Britain to Thailand and the private space station Stella Blue, riots and unrest take hold worldwide. In a future world where everything is for sale, The Green Panthers explores themes of systemic corruption, capitalism, space exploration, and climate change, as well as the courage and nature of friendship.

This bundle offers books two and three in one convenient file, with over 100,000 words of reading.Alexa Chase, 34, a brilliant profiler in the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, was too good at her job. Haunted by all the serial killers she caught, she left a stunning career behind to join the U.S. Marshals. As a Deputy Marshal, Alexa—fit, and as tough as she is brilliant—could immerse herself in a simple career of hunting down fugitives and bringing them to justice.“This is an excellent book… When you start reading, be sure you don’t have to wake up early!”—Reader review for The Killing GameIn THE KILLING TIDE (Book #2), with Alexa’s last case a big success, the FBI and the Marshals have decided to make their joint-task force permanent. Alexa, reeling from her own traumatic past and her PTSD of hunting serial killers, has no choice: she will now have to work with an FBI partner she dislikes and hunt down serial killers whose jurisdiction intertwines with that of the U.S. Marshals. Two federal judges are murdered, and startling evidence points to the work of a serial killer with a vendetta. But the judges have tried and convicted hundreds of people over their long careers, and with the suspect list a mile long, Alexa is in the race of her life to find the killer before he kills another judge on his list. And when the next victim offers a shocking twist, it throws everything Alexa thought she knew into doubt. Is this truly a vendetta? Or is this killer far more diabolical than he seems?In THE KILLING HOUR (Book #3), an infamous killer dramatically escapes death row, and Alexa’s joint task force is immediately put on the case. A high profile case with national media attention, Alexa isn’t the only one who’s called in—and between the clashes of ego with other state and federal powers, she knows the killer is only getting further away. What appears to be a straightforward manhunt, though, quickly evolves into something more complex, as more bodies turn up dead, and as the killer inexplicably eludes everyone. And when a shocking twist occurs that Alexa never saw coming, she realizes this case is far more complex—and disturbing—than she could have ever imagined. With the killer outsmarting everyone, Alexa is the only one with a mind brilliant enough to stop him, the only one standing between him and his next kill. But, weighed down by the pressure of her own traumatic past, can Alexa hold it together long enough to enter the darkest canals of his mind—and come out whole?A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured Deputy Marshal, the ALEXA CHASE series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.Books #4-#6 in the series—THE KILLING POINT, THE KILLING FOG, and THE KILLING PLACE—are also available.“This book moved very fast and every page was exciting.

Hall of Mirrors - A Novel

John Copenhaver

When a popular mystery novelist dies suspiciously, his writing partner must untangle the author’s connection to a serial killer in award-winning John Copenhaver’s new novel set in 1950s McCarthy-era Washington, DC.
*A New York Times Best Crime Novel of the Year*
*A Washington Post and TODAY.com must-read book selection*
*A Novel Suspects Best Mystery & Thriller of the Year*
In May 1954, Lionel Kane witnesses his apartment engulfed in flames with his lover and writing partner, Roger Raymond, inside. Police declare it a suicide due to gas ignition, but Lionel refuses to believe Roger was suicidal.
A month earlier, Judy Nightingale and Philippa Watson—the tenacious and troubled heroines from The Savage Kind—attend a lecture by Roger and, being eager fans, befriend him. He has just been fired from his day job at the State Department, another victim of the Lavender Scare, an anti-gay crusade led by figures like Senator Joseph McCarthy and J. Edgar Hoover, claiming homosexuals are security risks. Little do Judy and Philippa know, but their obsessive manhunt of the past several years has fueled the flames of his dismissal.
They have been tracking their old enemy Adrian Bogdan, a spy and vicious serial killer protected by powerful forces in the government. He’s on the rampage again, and the police are ignoring his crimes. Frustrated, they send their research to the media and their favorite mystery writer anonymously, hoping to inspire someone, somehow, to publish on the crimes—anything to draw Bogdan out. But has their persistence brought deadly forces to the writing team behind their most beloved books?
In the wake of Roger’s death, Lionel searches for clues, but Judy and Philippa threaten his quest, concealing dark secrets of their own. As the crimes of the past and present converge, danger mounts, and the characters race to uncover the truth, even if it means bending their moral boundaries to stop a killer.
