Ashley Patterson fühlt sich seit einiger Zeit beobachtet, verfolgt und bedroht. Die junge Angestellte einer Computerfirma gilt zwar als kühl und unnahbar, doch Feinde hat sie sich niemals gemacht. Als sie schließlich die handgeschriebene Drohung »Du wirst sterben!« auf ihrem Badezimmerspiegel entdeckt, weiß sie, daß ihr Instinkt sie nicht trügt: Sie schwebt in Lebensgefahr. Kurz darauf wird eine Reihe brutaler Morde an männlichen Opfern begangen, und Ashley gerät unter dringenden Tatverdacht. Denn die polizeilichen Ermittlungen ergeben, daß sie in allen Fällen zuletzt mit den Opfern gesehen wurde, und man nimmt an, daß sie die Morde in Panik begangen hat. Ashley, die fassungslos über diese Vorwürfe ist und sich das alles nicht erklären kann, wird verhaftet und aufgrund eindeutiger Indizien unter Anklage gestellt. Und erst der Starverteidiger David Singer, der von Ashleys Vater engagiert wird, bringt Licht in einen der aufsehenerregendsten Mordprozesse, die das Land je erlebt hat ...

The intrigue of The Raven Boys and the "supernatural or not" question of The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer coalesce in this young adult mystery, where nothing is quite as it seems, no one is quite who you think, and everything can change on a dime.
Every story needs a hero.
Every story needs a villain.
Every story needs a secret.
Wink is the odd, mysterious neighbor girl, wild red hair and freckles. Poppy is the blond bully and the beautiful, manipulative high school queen bee. Midnight is the sweet, uncertain boy caught between them. Wink. Poppy. Midnight. Two girls. One boy. Three voices that burst onto the page in short, sharp, bewitching chapters, and spiral swiftly and inexorably toward something terrible or tricky or tremendous.
What really happened?
Someone knows.
Someone is lying.
For fans of Holly Black, We Were Liars, and The Virgin Suicides, this mysterious tale full of intrigue, dread, beauty, and a whiff of something strange will leave you utterly entranced.
W poprzednim tomie — „Hominidach” — neandertalski fizyk Ponter Boddit, podczas eksperymentu z komputerem kwantowym przekroczył przypadkiem barierę pomiędzy alternatywną Ziemią, na której jego gatunek jest dominujący, a ludzie wymarli przed tysiącami lat. Po wielu przygodach, przy pomocy ziemskich naukowców, udało mu się wrócić do swojego świata.
W drugim tomie Ponter Boddit doprowadza do ponownego otwarcia portalu między światami. Wraca na Ziemię zamieszkałą przez Homo sapiens i znowu spotyka profesor Mary Vaughan. Podczas pierwszej oficjalnej wizyty delegacji ze świata Neandertalczyków dochodzi do incydentu, który stawia pod znakiem zapytania dalsze kontakty między gatunkami. Na szczęście, udaje się pokonać pierwsze trudności i rozpoczyna się wymiana kulturowa między obiema Ziemiami.
The forerunner to "Lord of the Rings", "The Simarilion" fills in the background which lies behind the popular work, and gives the earlier history of Middle-earth, introducing some of the key characters.
With the heart of Stand By Me and the genius horror of Christine, Mile 81 is Stephen King unleashing his imagination as he drives past one of those road signs...
At Mile 81 on the Maine Turnpike is a boarded up rest stop on a highway in Maine. It's a place where high school kids drink and get into the kind of trouble high school kids have always gotten into. It's the place where Pete Simmons goes when his older brother, who's supposed to be looking out for him, heads off to the gravel pit to play "paratroopers over the side." Pete, armed only with the magnifying glass he got for his tenth birthday, finds a discarded bottle of vodka in the boarded up burger shack and drinks enough to pass out.
Not much later, a mud-covered station wagon (which is strange because there hadn't been any rain in New England for over a week) veers into the Mile 81 rest area, ignoring the sign that says "closed, no services." The driver's door opens but nobody gets out.
Doug Clayton, an insurance man from Bangor, is driving his Prius to a conference in Portland. On the backseat are his briefcase and suitcase and in the passenger bucket is a King James Bible, what Doug calls "the ultimate insurance manual," but it isn't going to save Doug when he decides to be the Good Samaritan and help the guy in the broken down wagon. He pulls up behind it, puts on his four-ways, and then notices that the wagon has no plates.
Ten minutes later, Julianne Vernon, pulling a horse trailer, spots the Prius and the wagon, and pulls over. Julianne finds Doug Clayton's cracked cell phone near the wagon door — and gets too close herself. By the time Pete Simmons wakes up from his vodka nap, there are a half a dozen cars at the Mile 81 rest stop. Two kids — Rachel and Blake Lussier — and one horse named Deedee are the only living left. Unless you maybe count the wagon

Thea Osborne and her spaniel Hepzibah embark on their second house-sitting commission with few worries. Despite her first disastrous venture, in which she became drawn into a murder case, Thea is convinced that lightening will not strike twice, and arrives at the idyllic Frampton Mansell with renewed enthusiasm. However it seems she is jinxed: within days of her arrival she finds a body hanging from the rafters of one of the barns. But was it suicide...or murder?
When the body of herdsman Sean O’Farrell was discovered in one of the farm
buildings, Detective Sergeant Den Cooper is more than happy to cast one of the
local farmers, Gordon Hillcock, in the role of chief suspect. After all, it is a
well-known fact that there was no love lost between Gordon and the victim. And
besides, Den has a little grudge of his own – Gordon is currently dating Den’s
ex-fiancee Lilah and was actually the reason she dumped him only a few short
months before their wedding.
However, Den did not plan on Lilah’s
determination to protect her new lover. How far will she go to make sure that
Den directs his suspicions elsewhere?
From the author of A Dirty
Death comes another wonderful tale of muck, mayhem, and murder set in the
deceptively idyllic English countryside. With a richly textured plot and a
memorable cast of eccentric characters, Tope draws us into all the drama and
complexities of small-town life where nothing is quite what it seems.
And now a new clue has surfaced...a doll that is the spitting image of Claire Doucett's missing child, right down to the tiny birthmark on the girl's left arm. A chance sighting of the eerily lifelike doll in a French Quarter collectibles shop leaves Claire shaken to her core...and more determined than ever to find out what happened to her beloved Ruby.
When the doll is snatched and the store's owner turns up dead, Claire knows the only person she can turn to is ex-husband Dave Creasy, a former cop who has spent the past seven years imprisoned by his own guilt and despair. He let Claire down once when she needed him the most. Can she make him believe the doll really exists? She'll have to if they're to survive an encounter with a brutal psychopath— the dollmaker—who stole their future to feed an obsession that will never die.
