    In the heartbeat of Boston, 18-year-old Merina dreams of escaping the gritty streets of Mattapan. Her world shatters when a seemingly innocent getaway spirals into a nightmare. Betrayed and assaulted by Jason, a charming yet sinister CEO, Merina is left for dead. But she survives, saved by a reclusive ex-military man, and emerges stronger as Killmel—a masked avenger seeking justice on her terms. As Killmel, Merina wages war against Jason and his corrupt empire, VAPEZ, built on lies and exploitation. With her fierce sister Serena, and allies like the reformed Bizzy B and his sister Gabriella, Merina challenges a system rigged to protect the powerful. Even Darius, her longtime friend, must confront his silence and complicity.

Alongside unforgettable characters like Katie, a whistleblowing assistant, and Eleanor, Jason’s defiant wife, the story becomes a symphony of resistance and a battle cry for the silenced. This gripping thriller is more than a tale of revenge; it’s a testament to resilience and sisterhood. Whether you dive into the eBook or the captivating audiobook, this story will stay with you, reminding us that justice doesn’t always wear a badge. Sometimes, it wears a mask. And sometimes, it looks like a girl who refused to die.

    A mesmerizing espionage thriller from the bestselling author of The Company 
     
     
     
    Robert Littell has made a name for himself as one of the foremost authors of literary spy thrillers. Here, Littell abandons his usual East European milieu to focus on New Mexico, where a Sovietera KGB agent, code-named Parsifal, has been living under deep cover. Reactivated by a new controller for some particularly brutal "wetwork"—murder—Parsifal's suspicions are aroused. Fearing a double-cross, he begins, in espionage lingo, "walking back the cat"—retracing the operation to find the source of the deception. His manhunt leads him to an Apache-run casino where he crosses paths with CIA operatives, Apaches, and Finn, a disillusioned Gulf War vet with his own investigation to pursue.

    An early-morning jogger is murdered in Hyde Park. It's the center of London, but no one saw him enter the park, no one saw him die. 
     
     
     
    He carries no identification, only a water-logged phone. As the pieces unravel, it's clear that the dead man had a history of deception. 
     
     
     
    Is the murderer one of those that loved him? Or was it someone with a vengeance? 
     
     
     
    It's proving difficult for DCI Isaac Cook and his team at Challis Street Homicide to find the guilty person—not that they'll cease to search for the truth, not even after one suspect confesses.
