Heart-Shaped Box

A pulse-pounding, terrifying rollercoaster ride of a supernatural thriller—a remarkable debut novel from a blazing talent that will keep readers spellbound Sooner or later, the dead catch up. . . . Judas Coyne was a collector. The bizarre, the unusual, the grotesque: A cookbook for cannibals. A used hangman’s noose. A snuff film. Usually the objects were sent by the black-clad fans who made his metal band a legend and made him rich. But this time, when his personal assistant told him there was a ghost for sale on the Internet, Jude didn’t think twice. But he should have. Of all the ghosts around him—the abusive father, the battered, resentful child Jude once was, the bandmates he betrayed, Anna, the suicidal girl he loved and dumped—this new one means to haunt him all the way to hell. His new acquisition—delivered to his doorstep in a black heart-shaped box—is Anna’s vengeful stepdaddy. Martin Craddock swears he’s going to settle up with Jude for ruining his daughter’s life. Craddock is everywhere: on the other side of the bedroom door; in Jude’s restored vintage Mustang; outside his window, on his television screen. In his hand , a gleaming razorblade swinging from a chain. And now the jaded rock star who’s seen it all, done it all, has never been so afraid. . . .

Den orolige mannen

La vida del inspector Kurt Wallander ha cambiado ligeramente: no sólo ha hecho realidad su sueño de tener una casa en el campo, sino que, además, su hija linda lo ha convertido en abuelo. Sin embargo, su tranquilidad se ve perturbada poco después, un día de invierno de 2008, cuando el suegro de linda, un oficial de alto rango de la marina sueca llamado Håkan Von Enke, desaparece en un bosque cerca de Estocolmo. Aunque la investigación la dirige la policía de Estocolmo, Wallander no puede evitar implicarse, sobre todo cuando una segunda persona desaparece en misteriosas circunstancias. Algunas pistas apuntan a grupos de extrema derecha en el seno de la marina sueca y a la época de la guerra fría, en particular a la década de los ochenta, cuando varios submarinos soviéticos fueron acusados de violar territorio sueco.

King and Maxwell

Sexta entrega de la serie de «King y Maxwell» Sean King y Michelle Maxwell, ex agentes del Servicio Secreto que ahora se dedican a la investigación privada, regresan en el caso más sorprendente, personal y peligroso de su carrera. Al comienzo parece una historia meramente trágica. El adolescente Tyler Wingo recibe la dolorosa noticia de que su padre, militar, ha muerto en acción en Afganistán. Pero entonces ocurre algo extraordinario: Tyler recibe un mensaje de su padre... posterior a su supuesta muerte. Tyler contrata a Sean y Michelle para que desentrañen el misterio, y las pesquisas de estos plantean rápidamente interrogantes más profundos e inquietantes. ¿Acaso es posible que el padre de Tyler siga con vida? ¿Cuál era su verdadera misión? ¿Podría ser Tyler el próximo objetivo de una conspiraci ón? Los investigadores se dan cuenta de que han topado con algo más trascendente y peligroso de lo que cabría imaginar. Y mientras su búsqueda de la verdad los conduce de forma implacable a las altas esferas del poder y a la revelación de un secreto muy bien guardado, Sean y Michelle se comprometen a ayudar y proteger a Tyler, aunque con ello pongan en riesgo su propia vida. Se ha dicho de la novela: «Extraordinaria... Espeluznante... El mejor libro de la serie.» Associated Press «Baldacci se pone en la piel de sus personajes, y nos descoloca con una empatía inesperada y una identificación sutil.» Sunday Express «Como es habitual en él, Baldacci nos presenta una obra con su mejor estilo, repleta de emoción y aventura.» Independent on Sunday «Baldacci se coloca a la altura de los grandes -Grisham, Ludlum e incluso Patricia Cornwell-, y sale más que airoso.» People «Absorbente. En el último minuto es Baldacci en la cima de su talento.» BookReporter «Con esta novela, el autor sube la apuesta tanto en el aspecto argumental como emocional# Una historia admirablemente construida y hábilmente narrada.» Providence Sunday Journal «Trama brillante, acción trepidante y personajes inolvidables.» Daily Mail

The Rooster Bar

La justicia no siempre se imparte en el tribunal. Mark, Todd y Zola decidieron estudiar Derecho en Washington para cambiar el mundo, para hacer de él un lugar mejor. Pero ahora que están en el tercer año, se dan cuenta de que han sido víctimas de un fraude: pidieron un cuantioso préstamo para estudiar en lo que ha terminado siendo una escuela de segunda categoría, centrada en ganar dinero, y tan mediocre que los alumnos rara vez aprueban el examen final. Investigando, descubren que la escuela es parte de una cadena operada por un fondo de dudosa reputación que, además, también dirige un banco especializado en préstamos estudiantiles. Sin embargo, no todo está perdido. Puede que haya una forma de librarse de la deuda, desenmascarar al banco, destapar el fraude y sacar provecho al mismo tiempo. Pero para que su plan tenga éxito, tendrán que abandonar la escuela sin graduarse, lo que sería una locura... O quizá no. Reseñas: «El mejor autor vivo de thriller.» Ken Follett «Narrado con mucha inteligencia. Bravo por Grisham por poner el foco en un problema real y darle forma en un libro gratificante y entretenido.» The Washington Post «La trama se sostiene a lo largo del libro con imaginación y, como siempre ocurre con los libros de Grisham, la brillante historia pone de manifiesto un problema de la vida real: estudiantes que se endeudan de por vida para pagar sus estudios universitarios y el escándalo de ciertas escuelas y sus promesas incumplidas.» The Sunday Times «Un thriller fuerte con un toque malvado. Como siempre, Grisham es un auténtico placer, nunca una obligación.» The New York Times «Grisham es muy bueno cuando se deja llevar por su sardónico sentido del humor al tratar de cuestiones éticas legales y económicas.» USA Today «Grisham es el gigante del thriller.» Time Out «Nadie lo hace mejor que Grisham.» Telegraph «Grisham es el león del thriller literario.» Chicago Sun-Times

Paris Trout

Pete Dexter’s National Book Award–winning tour de force tells the mesmerizing story of a shocking crime that shatters lives and exposes the hypocrisies of a small Southern town. The time and place: Cotton Point, Georgia, just after World War II. The event: the murder of a fourteen-year-old black girl by a respected white citizen named Paris Trout, who feels he’s done absolutely nothing wrong. As a trial looms, the crime eats away at the social fabric of Cotton Point, through its facade of manners and civility. Trout’s indifference haunts his defense lawyer; his festering paranoia warps his timid, quiet wife; and Trout himself moves closer to madness as he becomes obsessed with his cause—and his vendettas. Praise for Paris Trout “A masterpiece, complex and breathtaking . . . [Pete] Dexter portrays his characters with marvelous sharpness.”—Los Angeles Times “A psychological spellbinder that will take your breath away and probably interfere with your sleep.”—The Washington Post Book World “Dexter’s brilliant understanding of the Deep South has allowed him to capture much of its essence—its bitter class distinctions, its violence, its strangeness—with a fidelity of detail and an ear for speech that I have rarely encountered since Flannery O’Connor.”—William Styron “Dexter’s powerfully emotional novel doesn’t have any brakes. Hang on, because you won’t be able to stop until the finish.”—Chicago Tribune

Detective Bennett, along with his ten adopted children, their nanny, and his grandfather, are hidden safely on a rural California farm, with guards courtesy of the FBI's witness protection program. Perrine begins to embark on an escalating series of assassinations across the country, killings whose brazenness and audacity bring into question the possibility of safety and law in the US.

They live behind such a high wall of security and image control that even world-renowned Private Investigator Jack Morgan can't get to the truth. But as Jack keeps probing, secrets sprout thick and fast--and the world's golden couple may emerge as hiding behind a world of desperation and deception that the wildest reality show couldn't begin to unveil.

Annihilation

A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE FROM ALEX GARLAND, STARRING NATALIE PORTMAN AND OSCAR ISAAC The Southern Reach Trilogy begins with Annihilation, the Nebula Award-winning novel that "reads as if Verne or Wellsian adventurers exploring a mysterious island had warped through into a Kafkaesque nightmare world" (Kim Stanley Robinson). Area X has been cut off from the rest of the continent for decades. Nature has reclaimed the last vestiges of human civilization. The first expedition returned with reports of a pristine, Edenic landscape; the second expedition ended in mass suicide; the third expedition in a hail of gunfire as its members turned on one another. The members of the eleventh expedition returned as shadows of their former selves, and within weeks, all had died of cancer. In Annihilation, the first volume of Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach trilogy, we join the twelfth expedition. The group is made up of four women: an anthropologist; a surveyor; a psychologist, the de facto leader; and our narrator, a biologist. Their mission is to map the terrain, record all observations of their surroundings and of one another, and, above all, avoid being contaminated by Area X itself. They arrive expecting the unexpected, and Area X delivers—they discover a massive topographic anomaly and life forms that surpass understanding—but it's the surprises that came across the border with them and the secrets the expedition members are keeping from one another that change everything.

Before the Fall

De la mano de Noah Hawley, creador de la serie de televisión Fargo, llega Antes de la caída, «la mejor novela de suspense del año» de acuerdo con The New York Times. En una nebulosa noche de verano once personas despegan en un jet privado rumbo a Nueva York. Diez de ellas pertenecen a la alta sociedad de Estados Unidos. El undécimo pasajero es Scott Burroughs, un artista en horas bajas. Dieciséis minutos después sucede lo impensable: el avión se estrella en el océano. Solo sobrevivirán el pintor y un niño de cuatro años, último miembro de una familia inmensamente rica y poderosa. A medida que se descubre la historia de cada uno de los pasajeros, afloran extrañas coincidencias que apuntan a una conspiración. ¿Fue simple casualidad que perecieran en un accidente algunas de las figuras más influyentes de la televisión y de Wall Street? Pronto empieza una campaña de acoso mediático que amenaza con hundir a Scott, quien luchará por mantenerse a flote mientras las autoridades porfían en encontrar la verdad entre los escombros del accidente. Antes de la caída es una novela apasionante y adictiva que indaga como pocas en la geografía secreta del alma humana. El destino y los lazos que nos unen, sean de sangre o adquiridos, constituyen su núcleo central y Noah Hawley logra que brille con luz propia la especial relación que se establece entre el pintor y el pequeño J.J. Críticas: «Noah Hawley realmente sabe cómo lograr que un lector no sea capaz de dejar de pasar páginas, pero Antes de la caída es mucho más que una novela de suspense, es una adictiva y profunda exploración de la condición humana.» The New York Times Book Review « Antes de la caída es un thriller de una belleza deslumbrante. Me ha hechizado de la primera a la última página; todavía no me he recuperado.» Michael Cunningham, ganador del Premio Pulitze y autor de Las horas «Un thriller magnífico... una fábula laberíntica que es en parte rompecabezas y en parte un relato doloroso sobre la pérdida y la muerte.» Patrick Anderson, The Washigton Post

The Killer Inside Me

THE KILLER INSIDE ME has been a cult classic since its first publication in 1952. Also a major motion picture starring Casey Affleck, directed by Michael Winterbottom. 'Probably the most chilling and believable first-person story of a criminally warped mind I have ever encountered' Stanley Kubrick 'His ability to get inside twisted minds was uncanny...extraordinary' INDEPENDENT Deputy Sheriff Lou Ford is a pillar of the community in his small Texas town, patient and thoughtful. Some people think he's a little slow and boring but that's the worst they say about him. But then nobody knows about what Lou calls his 'sickness'. It nearly got him put away when he was younger, but his adopted brother took the rap for that. Now the sickness that has been lying dormant for a while is about to surface again - and the consequences are brutal and devastating. Tense and suspenseful, THE KILLER INSIDE ME is a brilliantly sustained noir crime masterpiece.

Odessa Sea

Dirk Pitt is caught up in a dangerous and thrilling mystery on the murky waters of the Black Sea . . . As Director of the National Underwater and Marine Agency, Dirk Pitt has always had a knack for finding trouble. This time, though, trouble has found him . . . On a NUMA mission to the Black Sea to locate the wreck of a lost Ottoman Empire ship, Pitt and his friend Al Giordino respond to an urgent Mayday from a nearby freighter. By the time they reach the ship there's no one left alive - just dead bodies and the smell of sulphur in the air. When a massive blast from the stern suddenly scuttles the ship, Pitt and Giordino are lucky not to be added to the death toll. As they investigate the fate of the lost ship, they're plunged deep into an extraordinary mystery. And when connections emerge between a desperate attempt in 1917 to preserve the wealth and power of the Romanov empire, a Cold War bomber lost with a deadly cargo, modern-day nuclear smugglers and a brilliant engineer developing cutting-edge drone technology, Pitt is faced with the most dangerous challenge of his career. One that will threaten the lives of his family and friends. Packed with breathtaking suspense, switchback plotting and remarkable imagination, Odessa Sea proves once again that, when it comes to adventure, Clive Cussler is in a league of his own. Praise for Clive Cussler 'Cussler is hard to beat' Daily Mail 'Oceanography's answer to Indiana Jones. Exotic locations, ruthless villains, and many narrow escapes - Cussler's fans come for swashbuckling and he delivers' Associated Press 'Nobody does it better. . . nobody!'

The Kill Room Lincoln Rhyme

Jeffery Deaver; Jay Snyder; January LaVoy

It was a "million-dollar bullet," a sniper shot delivered from over a mile away. Its victim was no ordinary mark: he was a United States citizen, targeted by the United States government, and assassinated in the Bahamas. The nation's most renowned investigator and forensics expert, Lincoln Rhyme, is drafted to investigate. While his partner, Amelia Sachs, traces the victim's steps in Manhattan, Rhyme leaves the city to pursue the sniper himself. As details of the case start to emerge, the pair discovers that not all is what it seems. When a deadly, knife-wielding assassin begins systematically eliminating all evidence--including the witnesses--Lincoln's investigation turns into a chilling battle of wits against a cold-blooded killer.

Inexplicably, the killer lives once more and he has returned to London for cruel vengeance, starting with those who were supposed to protect his sister, among them a top lawyer who represents most of the wealthy families in London.

It is a thrilling detective novel with a brilliant cast of characters, a fast pace and beautiful description. It is a novel perfect for anyone who loved ‘Elementary’. Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) was an English writer, poet and journalist. He was such a prolific writer that his publisher claimed his work could account for a quarter of all books sold in England. He wrote countless books, screenplays, poems and historical non-fiction, spawning over one hundred and sixty films based on his work. He unfortunately passed away suddenly before he could see his most famous creation ‘King Kong’ come to life. It has been adapted several times over the years, notably by Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings fame, and more recently in ‘Godzilla vs Kong’ starring Millie Bobby Brown.

The Beast

Peter Decker's latest case with the LAPD is the most bizarre of his storied career. When the elderly, eccentric billionaire Hobart Penny is found dead in his apartment, the cops think that his pet Bengal tiger must have turned against him. But as Decker and his colleagues, Detectives Marge Dunn and Scott Oliver, dig into the victim's life, they discover that Penny had all kinds of exotic and kinky tastes. It soon becomes clear that the beast that killed the peculiar inventor is all too human. Following a trail of clues that leads from a wildlife sanctuary in the San Bernardino Mountains to the wild nightlife of Las Vegas, the LAPD detectives are left juggling too many suspects and too few answers. To crack a case involving the two most primal instincts—sex and murder—Decker wrestles with a difficult choice. Should he turn to someone with expert knowledge of both, Chris Donatti, the dangerous man who also happens to be the father of Decker's foster son? As his work and personal life collide, Decker finds himself facing tough questions and wondering if the conflict between family crises and professional duties will be the undoing of his career.

Number9Dream

By the New York Times bestselling author of The Bone Clocks and Cloud Atlas | Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize “A novel as accomplished as anything being written.”—Newsweek Number9Dream is the international literary sensation from a writer with astonishing range and imaginative energy—an intoxicating ride through Tokyo’s dark underworlds and the even more mysterious landscapes of our collective dreams. David Mitchell follows his eerily precocious, globe-striding first novel, Ghostwritten, with a work that is in its way even more ambitious. In outward form, Number9Dream is a Dickensian coming-of-age journey: Young dreamer Eiji Miyake, from remote rural Japan, thrust out on his own by his sister’s death and his mother’s breakdown, comes to Tokyo in pursuit of the father who abandoned him. Stumbling around this strange, awesome city, he trips over and crosses—through a hidden destiny or just monstrously bad luck—a number of its secret power centers. Suddenly, the riddle of his father’s identity becomes just one of the increasingly urgent questions Eiji must answer. Why is the line between the world of his experiences and the world of his dreams so blurry? Why do so many horrible things keep happening to him? What is it about the number 9? To answer these questions, and ultimately to come to terms with his inheritance, Eiji must somehow acquire an insight into the workings of history and fate that would be rare in anyone, much less in a boy from out of town with a price on his head and less than the cost of a Beatles disc to his name. Praise for Number9Dream “Delirious—a grand blur of overwhelming sensation.”—Entertainment Weekly “To call Mitchell’s book a simple quest novel . . is like calling Don DeLillo’s Underworld the story of a missing baseball.”—The New York Times Book Review “Number9Dream, with its propulsive energy, its Joycean eruption of language and playfulness, represents further confirmation that David Mitchell should be counted among the top young novelists working today.”—San Francisco Chronicle “Mitchell’s new novel has been described as a cross between Don DeLillo and William Gibson, and although that’s a perfectly serviceable cocktail-party formula, it doesn’t do justice to this odd, fitfully compelling work.”—The New Yorker “Leaping with ease from surrealist fables to a teenage coming-of-age story and then spinning back to Yakuza gangster battles and World War II–era kamikaze diaries, Mitchell is an aerial freestyle ski-jumper of fiction. Somehow, after performing feats of literary gymnastics, he manages to stick the landing.”—The Seattle Post-Intelligencer

In a Dark, Dark Wood

Di hutan yang amat sangat gelap, ada sebuah rumah yang amat sangat gelap. Dan, di rumah yang amat sangat gelap ... ada rahasia yang lebih baik dikubur untuk selamanya. Sebuah undangan pesta bujang membawa Nora datang ke sebuah mansion mewah di dalam hutan. Apa yang seharusnya menjadi momen-momen menyenangkan bersama teman-teman SMA-nya justru berubah menegangkan sewaktu pembunuhan terjadi. Di tengah kepanikan dan ketidakpastian, Nora meninggalkan hutan. Semua menjadi kabur setelahnya. Nora sendiri terbangun di sebuah kamar rumah sakit dengan kepala yang berdenyut menyakitkan. Dia lantas dihadapkan bukan oleh pertanyaan apa yang telah terjadi, melainkan apa yang telah dia perbuat. Polisi mencurigainya sebagai pelaku pembunuhan. Nora bersikeras meyakinkan bahwa dia bukan pelakunya. Namun sayang, dia menyadari bahwa ingatannya telah banyak yang hilang. Akhirnya, meski dikhianati oleh ingatannya sendiri, Nora berjuang membuktikan bahwa dia tak bersalah. Akan tetapi, benarkah demikian? [Mizan, Bentang Pustaka, Novel, Thriller, Terjemahan, Indonesia]

Cop Town

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Karin Slaughter, author of the bestselling Will Trent novels, is widely acclaimed as “one of the best crime novelists in America” (The Washington Post). Now she delivers her first stand-alone novel: an epic story of a city in the midst of seismic upheaval, a serial killer targeting cops, and a divided police force tasked with bringing a madman to justice. Atlanta, 1974: As a brutal murder and a furious manhunt rock the city’s police department, Kate Murphy wonders if her first day on the job will also be her last. She’s determined to defy her privileged background by making her own way—wearing a badge and carrying a gun. But for a beautiful young woman, life will be anything but easy in the macho world of the Atlanta PD, where even the female cops have little mercy for rookies. It’s also the worst day possible to start given that a beloved cop has been gunned down, his brothers in blue are out for blood, and the city is on the edge of war. Kate isn’t the only woman on the force who’s feeling the heat. Maggie Lawson followed her uncle and brother into the ranks to prove her worth in their cynical eyes. When she and Kate, her new partner, are pushed out of the citywide search for a cop killer, their fury, pain, and pride finally reach the boiling point. With a killer poised to strike again, they will pursue their own line of investigation, risking everything as they venture into the city’s darkest heart. Relentlessly paced, acutely observed, wickedly funny, and often heartbreaking, Cop Town is Karin Slaughter’s most powerful novel yet—a tour de force of storytelling from our foremost master of character, atmosphere, and suspense. Features a preview of Karin Slaughter’s next novel, Pretty Girls “Karin Slaughter is simply one of the best thriller writers working today, and Cop Town shows the author at the top of her game—relentless pacing, complex characters, and gritty realism, all set against the backdrop of a city on the edge. Slaughter’s eye for detail and truth is unmatched. . . . I’d follow her anywhere.”—Gillian Flynn “Cop Town proves Karin Slaughter is one of America’s best writers. . . . She pulls her readers into a twisted tale of mystery and keeps them fascinated from start to finish.”—The Huffington Post “Stunning . . . Karin Slaughter breaks new ground with this riveting story. If you haven’t yet read her, this is the moment.”—Michael Connelly “Compulsively readable . . . will have your heart racing.”—O: The Oprah Magazine “Intense . . . engrossing . . . evocative . . . [Karin Slaughter’s] first stand-alone novel [has] a gritty, action-packed plot and strong, believable characters.”—Associated Press “Slaughter graphically exposes the rampant racism, homophobia, and misogyny of cop culture in the 1970s. . . . Winning leads, the retro setting, and a riveting plot make this one of Slaughter’s best.”—Booklist (starred review) “Superb . . . explosive . . . [Cop Town] is sure to win over readers new to Slaughter’s work while reminding old fans of her enormous talent.”—Library Journal (starred review)

Broken promise

From New York Times bestselling author Linwood Barclay comes an explosive novel set in the peaceful small town of Promise Falls, where secrets can always be buried—but never forgotten… After his wife’s death and the collapse of his newspaper, David Harwood has no choice but to uproot his nine-year-old son and move back into his childhood home in Promise Falls, New York. David believes his life is in free fall, and he can’t find a way to stop his descent. Then he comes across a family secret of epic proportions. A year after a devastating miscarriage, David’s cousin Marla has continued to struggle. But when David’s mother asks him to check on her, he’s horrified to discover that she’s been secretly raising a child who is not her own—a baby she claims was a gift from an “angel” left on her porch. When the baby’s real mother is found murdered, David can’t help wanting to piece together what happened—even if it means proving his own cousin’s guilt. But as he uncovers each piece of evidence, David realizes that Marla’s mysterious child is just the tip of the iceberg. Other strange things are happening. Animals are found ritually slaughtered. An ominous abandoned Ferris wheel seems to stand as a warning that something dark has infected Promise Falls. And someone has decided that the entire town must pay for the sins of its past…in blood.

Armada

El esperado regreso del autor de Ready Player One, el best seller geek en que se basa la película homónima de Steven Spielberg. Zack Lightman se ha pasado la vida soñando. Soñando con que el mundo real se pareciera un poco más al sinfín de libros, películas y videojuegos de ciencia ficción que lo han acompañado desde siempre. Soñando con el día en que un acontecimiento increíble y capaz de cambiar el mundo hiciera añicos la monotonía de su aburrida existencia y lo embarcara en una gran aventura en los confines del espacio. Pero un poco de escapismo no viene mal de vez en cuando, ¿verdad? Después de todo, Zack no deja de repetirse que sabe dónde está el límite entre lo real y lo imaginario. Que sabe que en el mundo real nadie elige para salvar el universo a un adolescente con problemas para controlar su ira, aficionado a los videojuegos y que no sabe qué hacer con su vida. Y entonces Zack ve un platillo volante. Para colmo, la nave alienígena es igual a las del videojuego al que se pasa enganchado todas las noches, un juego multijugador de naves muy popular llamado Armada en el que los jugadores tienen que proteger la Tierra de unos invasores extraterrestres. No, Zack no se ha vuelto loco. Aunque parezca imposible, aquello es muy real. Y van a ser necesarias sus habilidades y las de millones de jugadores de todo el mundo para salvar la Tierra de lo que está por venir. Al fin Zack se va convertir en un héroe. Pero a pesar del terror y la emoción que lo embargan, no puede evitar recordar todas aquellas historias de ciencia ficción con las que ha crecido y preguntarse: «¿Acaso no hay algo en todo esto que me resulta... familiar?» ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From the author of Ready Player One, a rollicking alien invasion thriller that embraces and subverts science-fiction conventions as only Ernest Cline can. Zack Lightman has never much cared for reality. He vastly prefers the countless science-fiction movies, books, and videogames he's spent his life consuming. And too often, he catches himself wishing that some fantastic, impossible, world-altering event could arrive to whisk him off on a grand spacefaring adventure. So when he sees the flying saucer, he's sure his years of escapism have finally tipped over into madness. Especially because the alien ship he's staring at is straight out of his favorite videogame, a flight simulator callled Armada--in which gamers just happen to be protecting Earth from alien invaders. As impossible as it seems, what Zack's seeing is all too real. And it's just the first in a blur of revlations that will force him to question everything he thought he knew about Earth's history, its future, even his own life--and to play the hero for real, with humanity's life in the balance. But even through the terror and exhilaration, he can't help thinking: Doesn't something about this scenario feel a little bit like...well...fiction? At once reinventing and paying homage to science-fiction classics, Armada is a rollicking, surprising thriller, a coming-of-age adventure, and an alien invasion tale like nothing you've ever read before.

The President's Shadow

A severed arm, found buried in the White House Rose Garden. A lethal message with terrible consequences for the Presidency.And a hidden secret in one family's past that will have repercussions for the entire nation. Following The Inner Circle and The Fifth Assassin, #1 bestselling author Brad Meltzer returns with . . . The President's Shadow There are stories no one knows. Hidden stories. I find those stories for a living. To most, it looks like Beecher White has an ordinary job. A young staffer with the National Archives in Washington, D.C., he's responsible for safekeeping the government's most important documents . . . and, sometimes, its most closely held secrets. But there are a powerful few who know his other role. Beecher is a member of the Culper Ring, a 200-year-old secret society founded by George Washington and charged with protecting the Presidency. Now the current occupant of the White House needs the Culper Ring's help. The alarming discovery of the buried arm has the President's team in a rightful panic. Who buried the arm? How did they get past White House security? And most important: What's the message hidden in the arm's closed fist? Indeed, the puzzle inside has a clear intended recipient, and it isn't the President. It's Beecher, himself. Beecher's investigation will take him back to one of our country's greatest secrets and point him toward the long, carefully hidden truth about the most shocking history of all: family history.

The nightmare

Lars Kepler returns with a piercing, bestselling sequel to The Hypnotist After spellbinding audiences in The Hypnotist, Detective Inspector Joona Linna is back in The Nightmare, an internationally bestselling Swedish thriller published to critical acclaim in dozens of countries. As the Swedish newspaper Arbetarbladet put it, "The reader is ready to sell his own soul for the opportunity to read this book without interruption, in one sitting." On a summer night, police recover the body of a young woman from an abandoned pleasure boat drifting around the Stockholm archipelago. Her lungs are filled with brackish water, and the forensics team is sure that she drowned. Why, then, is the pleasure boat still afloat, and why are there no traces of water on her clothes or body? The next day, a man turns up dead in his state apartment in Stockholm, hanging from a lamp hook. All signs point to suicide, but the room has a high ceiling, and there's not a single piece of furniture around—nothing to climb on. Joona Linna begins to piece together the two mysteries, but the logistics are a mere prelude to a dizzying and dangerous course of events. At its core, the most frightening aspect of The Nightmare isn't its gruesome crimes—it's the dark psychology of its characters, who show us how blind we are to our own motives.
