Police summon Langdon as an expert, but he quickly realizes he is himself a suspect. With the help of cryptologist Sophie Neveu—the dead man's estranged granddaughter—he flees into the Paris night, following a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci.\n\nWhat begins as a murder investigation opens onto a far older secret. The pair chase a chain of riddles that leads through art, history, and the coded traditions of a shadowy brotherhood, pursued both by the French police and by a devout, self-punishing assassin acting on orders he believes are holy. As the clues accumulate, Langdon and Sophie edge toward a revelation that a powerful institution has spent two thousand years trying to bury—one that could reshape how millions understand faith and history.\n\nA breathless overnight chase across Paris and London, The Da Vinci Code weaves cryptography, symbology, and religious history into a puzzle-driven thriller.

Instead it braids Pamela's story together with that of Tina Cannon, a woman across the country connected to another of his victims, as the two of them pursue the truth and insist on the humanity of the \"bright young women\" he murdered. Moving between 1978 and the decades that follow, it is a furious, propulsive corrective to a culture that romanticizes serial killers while forgetting the people they killed.\n\nInspired by real events, Bright Young Women is both a gripping thriller and a pointed argument about whose stories we choose to tell.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkc5j4c0afeas0gy8vxt1qhv.jpg","LHNRSsE_cNSw+*NaE{X4_7-BsWso",2023,"3.00",[439],{"id":440,"slug":441,"name":442},"01kkc5j4bw3nwds7va6pvfds23","jessica-knoll-xpny","Jessica Knoll",[444,445,446,447,448,449],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},{"id":168,"name":169,"slug":170,"is_fiction":19},{"id":44,"name":45,"slug":46,"is_fiction":19},{"id":157,"name":158,"slug":159,"is_fiction":19},{"id":113,"name":383,"slug":384,"is_fiction":19},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":123,"complexity":7,"audience":126,"mood":452,"themes":453,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[130,128],[239],{"id":455,"slug":456,"title":457,"description":458,"primary_cover_url":459,"cover_blurhash":460,"first_publish_year":461,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":462,"authors":463,"genres":468,"series":474,"enrichment":475},"01krby5sr40thbrftzjy9mcd2b","the-petrograd-consignment-ko8s","The Petrograd consignment","Amidst the chaos of the 1917 February Revolution in Petrograd, a British agent is tasked with a perilous mission.

It opens in 1491, on the eve of the fall of Granada, the last Muslim kingdom in Iberia, and follows the household of Abu Jaafar, a Granadan bookbinder, across five generations as their world is slowly, systematically dismantled.\n\nThrough the family's marriages, births, and losses, the trilogy traces what it meant to live through conquest: the broken promises of the victors, the public burning of Arabic books, forced baptism and the banning of language and dress, the terror of the Inquisition, and the final expulsion of the Moriscos. Some of Abu Jaafar's descendants try to assimilate and survive in silence; others join the doomed resistance in the mountains; the healer Saleema pays a terrible price for her learning; and each must decide how to hold on to faith, memory, and identity as everything familiar is stripped away.\n\nComprising the novels Granada, Maryama, and Departure, Ashour's trilogy is a landmark of modern Arabic literature—an intimate, elegiac meditation on loss, resilience, and cultural erasure, told with quiet lyricism and deep historical feeling.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfh06x5zgvzzppeqfpny5yc.jpg","LWIzRyo04=s.}:oetPaz=vazX8a|",1994,"3.75",2,502,[496,500],{"id":497,"slug":498,"name":499},"01kkfh06wx5sw8qjd435dpwpjx","radwa-ashour-fbup","Radwa Ashour",{"id":501,"slug":502,"name":503},"01kkfh06x2v8wcdv9qdwd81cvr","rdo-aaashor-xfct","رضوى عاشور",[505,506,510,511],{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":19},{"id":507,"name":508,"slug":509,"is_fiction":19},58,"Classics","classics",{"id":113,"name":383,"slug":384,"is_fiction":19},{"id":48,"name":49,"slug":50,"is_fiction":18},[513],{"id":514,"slug":515,"name":516,"position":263,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kkfh06y120bvxmatsvmfc50w","the-granada-trilogy-g7bv","The Granada Trilogy",{"pace":518,"complexity":7,"audience":126,"mood":519,"themes":522,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"slow",[520,521],"melancholic","reflective",[132],{"id":524,"slug":525,"title":526,"description":527,"primary_cover_url":528,"cover_blurhash":529,"first_publish_year":530,"community_rating_avg":531,"community_rating_count":251,"page_count":36,"authors":532,"genres":537,"series":550,"enrichment":551},"01ktt6spmrjmq7n1r83zr1pk0h","mad-love-nn3r","Mad Love","Gin Talcott and Adam Archer seemed like the perfect couple, until they are found shot in their bed, Adam dead and Gin fighting for her life.

His neighbor is Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire famous for the lavish parties he throws every weekend, though almost no one knows where his fortune came from or what he truly wants.\n\nThrough Nick, we learn that Gatsby's glittering displays are all in service of a single obsession: Daisy Buchanan, the woman he loved before the war and who is now married to the wealthy, brutish Tom Buchanan. As Nick is drawn into the tangled lives of the East Egg and West Egg elite, the distance between old money and new, between illusion and reality, becomes impossible to bridge.\n\nF. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel is a compact, lyrical portrait of the Jazz Age and a piercing critique of the American Dream. Its symbols — the green light across the bay, the fading eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg, the valley of ashes — have become part of the language, and its story of longing, class, and self-invention remains one of the most enduring in American literature.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz6hf6gv7fy0wsfvyj48kyt.jpg","LEI4;ktT?dMb0DNFR%%ND-RMNMOb",1925,14,[1037],{"id":1038,"slug":1039,"name":1040},"01kjq7ncwv2mv5skbjcyd77dvs","f-scott-fitzgerald-mpl7","F.

Led by the pigs, the most clever of the animals, the farm is renamed and the beasts set about running their world for their own benefit.\n\nBut power reshapes those who hold it. As the ambitious boar Napoleon consolidates control, the founding ideals are quietly rewritten, dissent is punished, and the promises of the revolution curdle into a tyranny that looks unsettlingly like the one it replaced. The other animals, loyal and hardworking, struggle to remember how things were meant to be.\n\nGeorge Orwell's short, savage fable uses a barnyard uprising to trace how revolutions are betrayed, how language is bent to serve power, and how easily the many can be ruled by the few. First published in 1945, it remains one of the most enduring political allegories ever written.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjq7btjcxa4vbtavepan6rde.jpg","LFH.l;Hb8^{;81w~IXwO#^xUquO;",1997,"4.37",80,[1066],{"id":1067,"slug":1068,"name":1069},"01kjq7bthq3tev7x356jr612gb","george-orwell-8s8n","George Orwell",[1071,1072,1073,1077,1078,1079,1083,1084],{"id":113,"name":383,"slug":384,"is_fiction":19},{"id":507,"name":508,"slug":509,"is_fiction":19},{"id":1074,"name":1075,"slug":1076,"is_fiction":18},94,"Animals","animals",{"id":804,"name":805,"slug":806,"is_fiction":19},{"id":706,"name":707,"slug":708,"is_fiction":19},{"id":1080,"name":1081,"slug":1082,"is_fiction":19},119,"Humor","humor",{"id":493,"name":916,"slug":917,"is_fiction":19},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":123,"complexity":7,"audience":126,"mood":1087,"themes":1088,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[130,521],[],{"id":141,"slug":142,"title":143,"description":144,"primary_cover_url":145,"cover_blurhash":146,"first_publish_year":147,"community_rating_avg":148,"community_rating_count":121,"page_count":149,"authors":1090,"genres":1092,"series":1100,"enrichment":1102},[1091],{"id":152,"slug":153,"name":154},[1093,1094,1095,1096,1097,1098,1099],{"id":157,"name":158,"slug":159,"is_fiction":19},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},{"id":44,"name":45,"slug":46,"is_fiction":19},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":19},{"id":164,"name":165,"slug":166,"is_fiction":18},{"id":168,"name":169,"slug":170,"is_fiction":19},{"id":48,"name":49,"slug":50,"is_fiction":18},[1101],{"id":174,"slug":175,"name":176,"position":93,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":123,"complexity":7,"audience":126,"mood":1103,"themes":1104,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[128,129,179],[],{"id":1106,"slug":1107,"title":1108,"description":1109,"primary_cover_url":1110,"cover_blurhash":1111,"first_publish_year":274,"community_rating_avg":1112,"community_rating_count":121,"page_count":7,"authors":1113,"genres":1118,"series":1126,"enrichment":1127},"01kjqxh46c4sc1gg31pfnprrzh","where-the-crawdads-sing-czay","Where the Crawdads Sing","In the marshes of coastal North Carolina, Catherine \"Kya\" Clark grows up almost entirely alone.

To her millions of followers, she is the perfect “tradwife”: baking sourdough, raising her children on a sun-dappled ranch, and modeling a wholesome life supposedly stripped of modern excess. What the camera never shows are the nannies, the producers, and the industrial appliances humming just out of frame. Then a public scandal detonates her carefully managed image — and Natalie wakes to find herself trapped in a brutal, unforgiving version of 1855. The ranch is now a freezing cabin without plumbing or heat; the children who answer to her are strangers; and the household is ruled by an archaic, menacing version of her own family. Forced to actually live the pioneer existence she once performed for views, she tries to work out whether she is the victim of an elaborate hoax, a twisted reality show, or something far stranger. Burke’s debut threads social satire through psychological suspense, using Natalie’s predicament to interrogate the performance of womanhood, the machinery behind influencer culture, and the seductive lie of “the good old days.” Sharp, claustrophobic, and darkly comic, the novel asks what is left of a person once the curated self collapses and the audience is gone.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kpae2pf0c191n2b8xat0jyn9.jpg",2026,"4.29",400,[1140],{"id":1141,"slug":1142,"name":1143},"01kpae2pevm0pxeghtgq1r7715","caro-claire-burke-o2yn","Caro Claire Burke",[1145,1146,1150,1151,1152,1153],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},{"id":1147,"name":1148,"slug":1149,"is_fiction":19},59,"Contemporary Literature","contemporary-literature",{"id":547,"name":548,"slug":549,"is_fiction":19},{"id":706,"name":707,"slug":708,"is_fiction":19},{"id":113,"name":383,"slug":384,"is_fiction":19},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":123,"complexity":7,"audience":126,"mood":1156,"themes":1157,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[128,712],[933],{"id":1159,"slug":1160,"title":1161,"description":1162,"primary_cover_url":1163,"cover_blurhash":1164,"first_publish_year":1165,"community_rating_avg":1166,"community_rating_count":157,"page_count":1138,"authors":1167,"genres":1172,"series":1189,"enrichment":1194},"01kjq809rtm83625vmjegpr6de","the-seven-husbands-of-evelyn-hugo-2mb1","The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo","Aging Hollywood icon Evelyn Hugo, now a reclusive septuagenarian, finally decides to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life.

As the confession deepens, Monique begins to wonder why Evelyn chose her, and what the fading star still stands to gain by telling everything.\n\nTold largely through Evelyn's own unflinching voice, Taylor Jenkins Reid's novel is a story about the cost of fame, the compromises women make to seize power in a world designed against them, and the difference between the public image and the private heart.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz5s63redz87wyv08b9b8ah.jpg","LGCP^JIuU{KK}ZS6wMS2MLkWpGi{",2017,"3.67",[1168],{"id":1169,"slug":1170,"name":1171},"01kjq809s1bz8jkha881zbv9c5","taylor-jenkins-reid-jk5i","Taylor Jenkins Reid",[1173,1177,1178,1179,1180,1184,1185],{"id":1174,"name":1175,"slug":1176,"is_fiction":18},88,"Biography","biography",{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":19},{"id":1147,"name":1148,"slug":1149,"is_fiction":19},{"id":575,"name":576,"slug":577,"is_fiction":19},{"id":1181,"name":1182,"slug":1183,"is_fiction":19},36,"LGBTQ+ Romance","lgbtq-romance",{"id":113,"name":383,"slug":384,"is_fiction":19},{"id":1186,"name":1187,"slug":1188,"is_fiction":19},144,"Women's Fiction","womens-fiction",[1190],{"id":1191,"slug":1192,"name":1193,"position":263,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kve2ck560hws5hr6hqne7fwn","the-seven-husbands-of-evelyn-hugo-universe-pysh","The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo Universe",{"pace":210,"complexity":7,"audience":126,"mood":1195,"themes":1196,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[521,757],[587,239],[]]
