She hasn’t seen Jake in years but her former college friend told her he’d always be there for her and she definitely needs him now.

It’s place known for known for tranquil summers and the Baseball Hall of Fame. Certainly not murder.
A number of parties heading for a luxurious holiday spot, are forced by severe winter weather to put up at the ‘Noah’s Ark’, a hostelry they will share with Dr. Constantine, a shrewd chess master and keen observer of all around him. Other guests include bestselling novelist Angus Stuart, the aristocratic Romsey family, a pair of old spinster sisters, and a galloping major whose horseplay gets him into hot water – and then gets him murdered.

The Antiquity: An L.A. Crime Novel
A sacred artifact.
A burned-out detective.
A trail of bodies from Brentwood to Boyle Heights…
The murder of a popular university professor unearths a mystery involving a 2,000-year-old religious relic stolen by the Nazis during World War II.
The object, secretly referred to as THE ANTIQUITY, is rumored to possess supernatural powers. LAPD homicide detective Jack Sheridan is skeptical… until his hunt for the killer leads him deep into a world of dark forces, shadowy characters and unexplainable incidents.
For Sheridan, the most startling coincidence is personal: this case is inextricably linked to a painful secret from his past. Forced to confront his demons, he soon uncovers an insidious conspiracy that threatens the future of humanity itself.
From the beet fields of North Dakota to the campgrounds of California to Amazon’s CamperForce program in Texas, employers have discovered a new, low-cost labor pool, made up largely of transient older adults. These invisible casualties of the Great Recession have taken to the road by the tens of thousands in RVs and modified vans, forming a growing community of nomads.
Nomadland tells a revelatory tale of the dark underbelly of the American economy—one which foreshadows the precarious future that may await many more of us. At the same time, it celebrates the exceptional resilience and creativity of these Americans who have given up ordinary rootedness to survive, but have not given up hope.
In a supernova flash, the asteroid arrived and entered Earth’s orbit. Three hundred kilometers in length, it is not solid rock but a series of hollowed-out chambers housing ancient, abandoned cities of human origin, a civilization named Thistledown. The people who lived there survived a nuclear holocaust that nearly rendered humanity extinct—more than a thousand years from now.
To prevent this future from coming to pass, theoretical mathematician Patricia Vasquez must explore Thistledown and decipher its secret history. But what she discovers is an even greater mystery, a tunnel that exists beyond the physical dimensions of the asteroid. Called the Way, it leads to the home of humanity’s descendants, and to a conflict greater than the impending war between Earth’s superpowers over the fate of the asteroid, in “the grandest work yet” by Nebula Award–winning author Greg Bear (Locus).
On an Appalachian Mountain ridge, young Vernon Ray Davis hears the rattling of a snare drum deep inside a cave known as “The Jangling Hole,” and the wind carries a whispered name. According to legend, the Hole is home to a group of Civil War soldiers buried by a long-ago avalanche. Everyone, especially Vernon Ray’s dad, laughs at him…because he’s different.
On the eve of an annual Civil War re-enactment, the town of Titusville prepares for a mock battle. But inside the Hole, disturbed spirits are rising from their dark slumber, and one of them is heading home.
On the surface, Callie Harwell has it all. Newly married to James, she finally gets the family she has longed for and becomes a mother to his two sons.

Things are not as Callie hoped they would be and she struggles to be accepted as part of James’ family, and to keep hidden the secrets that could destroy her future.

A gripping psychological thriller for fans of Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl, and authors Lucie Whitehouse, Sabine Durrant, S.J. Watson and Elizabeth Haynes.
Reds, Whites, German troops, and Ukrainian nationalists battle for control of the city as the war becomes more tumultuous in Mikhail Bulgakob’s debut novel, The White Guard.
The book is heavily autobiographical, drawing from the author’s own experiences in Ukraine during the Russian Civil War—he witnessed ten of these changes of government himself. Told from alternating points of view and taking an unusual angle in the conflict between Russian Whites (with whom the Turbins identify) and Ukrainian nationalists, The White Guard elegantly portrays the chaos of a civil war in which there is no good or evil, only loyalty to one’s friends, family, and one’s convictions.
