    But when her friend Roxanne stumbles across a man's body in the Gold Rush, a long-closed residential hotel, questions leap out. Who was he?

    Sometimes truth and conspiracy are the same side of the same coin. 
    When former CIA operative and investigative journalist James Flynn gets asked to take a look into a secret government facility in Alaska, he begins his initial inquiry by meeting with a secret group of conspiracy theorists unironically known as Ultra. Along with some pressure from his editor and a wealthy benefactor, Flynn gets persuaded to travel to Alaska and investigate the wild claims and expose the clandestine program. 
    With the aid of Natalie Mercer, a local guide with her own hidden agenda, Flynn must navigate a treacherous landscape of deception and danger. From the frozen wilderness of Alaska to the Capitol Building in Washington D.C., he races against time to unravel the truth behind a secret program known as Project Titan and the shadowy figures pulling the strings. 
    As the body count rises and the stakes reach a boiling point, Flynn realizes that the key to unlocking the mystery may lie with an unlikely ally — the billionaire tech mogul Blaine Jacobs, whose sordid past is part fiction, part fact—and Flynn must determine which is which. 
    In a pulse-pounding thrill ride, Flynn must confront his own past and the blurred lines between friend and foe. With the fate of the nation hanging in the balance, he'll have to use every skill in his arsenal to survive and expose the truth... before it's too late. 
    If you're a fan of authors like Vince Flynn, David Baldacci or Lee Child you will enjoy this series from award-winning and bestselling author R.J. Patterson and J.D. Kane.

    M. C. Beaton's Agatha Raisin is as feisty as ever and armed with her famous wit and biting sense of humor. This time, though, there's some biting of a whole other sort going on.  
    Agatha has fallen head over heels in love. Again. This time, she has her eye on the local gardener, George Marston, but so do other women in their little Cotswold village. Shamelessly determined, Agatha will do anything to get her man, including footing the bill for a charity ball just for the chance to dance with him. And then George doesn't even show up! Only partly deterred, Agatha goes looking for him, and finds his dead body in a compost heap. Murder is definitely afoot, but this killer chose no ordinary weapon; a poisonous snake delivered the fatal strike. Rising to the occasion, Agatha rallies her little detective agency to find the killer, only to learn that George had quite a complicated love life. But murderously complicated? Well, if she can't have George, at least Agatha can have the satisfaction of confronting the other women and solving the crime.
