New York is changing around Nico Kelly, and he can feel more coming. What little middle class there was is disappearing, long-standing factories are moving out and taking their reliable neighbourhood jobs with them, and Mayor Rudy Giuliani's police force has the streets in a stranglehold.\n\nNico is a private investigator and a self-proclaimed photographer, stuck in a loop of city contracts and self-loathing. He spends his days looking for fraudsters and photographing municipal employees on disability claims. He spends his nights trying to shake the nagging feeling that his day job makes him a professional snitch — traversing dive bars, playing pinball, fighting through hungover mornings and blurry evenings. Pushing thirty and feeling split between his American and Latin heritage, between youth and adulthood, he finds himself at a precipice: who is he, and what should he become?\n\nThen, in the middle of an insurance fraud investigation, Nico witnesses and records a murder. Bodies start to turn up around him and he is forced into solving a mystery he never asked to solve. Brooklyn Motto is the debut novel of filmmaker and screenwriter Alex R.

To his surprise, Lily doesn't flinch. She calmly agrees that some people simply deserve to die, and offers to help him do it.\n\nWhat starts as an abstract game between two strangers becomes a meticulous plan, and then something far more dangerous. Because Lily is not a bored socialite indulging a fantasy. She has killed before, she has her own reasons for everything she does, and the tidy scheme she and Ted are building has more moving parts — and more hidden players — than either of them will admit.\n\nA modern homage to Patricia Highsmith, Peter Swanson's The Kind Worth Killing is a coiled psychological thriller told through shifting, unreliable points of view. Every chapter recalibrates who is manipulating whom, building toward a game of murder in which trusting the wrong person is the only truly fatal mistake.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfjhddwa1yebkm9bhnc9tck.jpg","LH9aT,_L?t%L_M?v.7xtOukso$s:",2015,"3.86",320,[206],{"id":207,"slug":208,"name":209},"01kkfjhddrz67f4y79e301r8ey","peter-swanson-tbik","Peter Swanson",[211,212,213,214,218,222],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":178,"name":179,"slug":180,"is_fiction":19},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":215,"name":216,"slug":217,"is_fiction":19},40,"Suspense","suspense",{"id":219,"name":220,"slug":221,"is_fiction":19},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},[224],{"id":225,"slug":226,"name":227,"position":153,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kkfjhdfa77fzhmx6sgxzkza2","henry-kimballlily-kintner-zm8g","Henry Kimball\u002FLily Kintner",{"pace":120,"complexity":7,"audience":72,"mood":229,"themes":230,"setting_period":7,"summary":235,"content_warnings":7},[75,122,156,74],[231,232,233,234,124],"unreliable-narrator","multiple-povs","morally-grey","revenge","A chance airport-bar meeting turns lethal when Ted confesses he'd like his cheating wife dead — and the poised stranger beside him, Lily, offers to help.

Bosch never got to finish the case before it was pulled from him — and now, retired and restless with a fresh private investigator's license, he takes it up again on his own.\n\nDigging into the cold file, Bosch runs headlong into the people who buried it: former colleagues who resent his return, an FBI unit with its own reasons to keep the past closed, and a trail that leads back to Las Vegas and his ex-wife, Eleanor Wish.

Eager to prove herself to her coworker Lou and their enigmatic boss, known only as the Lady Upstairs, Jo takes on bigger and riskier jobs. When one of her targets is murdered, both the Lady Upstairs and the LAPD have Jo in their sights. Desperate to escape the consequences of her failed job, she decides to take on just one more sting--bringing down a rising political star. It's her biggest con yet--and she will do it behind the Lady's back, freeing both herself and Lou. But Jo soon learns that Lou and the Lady have secrets of their own, and that no woman is safe when there is a life-changing payout on the line. A delicious debut thriller crackling with wit and an unforgettable feminist voice, The Lady Upstairs is a chilling and endlessly surprising take on female revenge.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kxf2h1q6mfgz6frhx6kwh9k3.jpg?v=a337ef9ac1","L5G6|o.P4B^5@CGB0$s,mm9wT0$g",[669],{"id":670,"slug":671,"name":672},"01kxf2h1pwbcj2j1fcrqbezdds","halley-sutton-ppji","Halley Sutton",[674,675,676,677],{"id":219,"name":220,"slug":221,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":178,"name":179,"slug":180,"is_fiction":19},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":120,"complexity":7,"audience":72,"mood":680,"themes":681,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[75,122],[234,233],{"id":683,"slug":684,"title":685,"description":686,"primary_cover_url":687,"cover_blurhash":688,"first_publish_year":631,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":7,"authors":689,"genres":691,"series":700,"enrichment":702},"01kx6sqgg7y8kvmj0wbwj2fd3g","colorless-vol-7-grmc","COLORLESS Vol. 7","The final volume of COLORLESS.

By turns darkly funny and deeply unsettling, the novel became one of the most widely read and discussed Arabic titles in Egypt in the years after its release.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfh9x2wmrhy430ppkz0k9c0.jpg","LERT#kNeysr;xsoJfkxXt+RlM$bb","4.67",148,[946],{"id":947,"slug":948,"name":949},"01kkfh94rr441wxvyhktqzder8","myrna-almhdy-kxb2","ميرنا المهدي",[951,952,956,957,958,962],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":953,"name":954,"slug":955,"is_fiction":18},96,"Psychology","psychology",{"id":178,"name":179,"slug":180,"is_fiction":19},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":959,"name":960,"slug":961,"is_fiction":19},118,"Satire","satire",{"id":833,"name":834,"slug":835,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":69,"complexity":7,"audience":72,"mood":965,"themes":967,"setting_period":7,"summary":969,"content_warnings":7},[75,966,122,552,74],"satirical",[234,968,233],"family-saga","A young man named Issa learns that murder runs in his family — and that his grandmother has quietly appointed herself the executioner of the \"scoundrels\" who prey on those around her.

Millie’s employer, Nina Winchester, is erratic and increasingly cruel, leaving impossible demands and cleaning up messes that make no sense, while Nina’s charming husband, Andrew, treats Millie with a warmth that feels like a lifeline.

The Ministry of Magic believes Black is coming for Harry. The school is placed under the guard of the dementors, soul-draining prison wardens whose effect on Harry is more severe than on anyone else, plunging him into traumatic flashbacks every time they appear.\n\nAmid this, Harry finds an unexpected mentor in the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Lupin, whose calm competence and personal connection to Harry's past make him the most significant adult figure Harry has encountered since Hagrid. A stolen Marauder's Map, a time-turner, and a truth that contradicts everything Harry has been told about his parents' deaths combine to make this the most structurally inventive instalment in the series.\n\nWidely regarded as the moment the Harry Potter novels found their full emotional and thematic range, Prisoner of Azkaban marks the shift from middle-grade adventure to something darker, more morally complex, and more deeply concerned with justice, loyalty, and the way the past refuses to stay buried.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kk4gg9c8fh7gxrth1tj0yf4m.jpg","L6FNn.~N0,9~y}9_t6xD0D59IW=t",1999,"4.64",404,[1020],{"id":423,"slug":424,"name":425},[1022,1023,1024,1025,1026],{"id":134,"name":444,"slug":445,"is_fiction":19},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":432,"name":433,"slug":434,"is_fiction":19},{"id":436,"name":437,"slug":438,"is_fiction":19},{"id":447,"name":448,"slug":449,"is_fiction":19},[1028],{"id":452,"slug":453,"name":454,"position":321,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":120,"complexity":7,"audience":457,"mood":1030,"themes":1031,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[75,122,156],[1032,1033],"time-loop","mentor-figure",{"id":1035,"slug":1036,"title":1037,"description":1038,"primary_cover_url":1039,"cover_blurhash":1040,"first_publish_year":1041,"community_rating_avg":1042,"community_rating_count":436,"page_count":1043,"authors":1044,"genres":1046,"series":1057,"enrichment":1059},"01kjq6weznr22ypqn6n2ykw555","harry-potter-and-the-chamber-of-secrets-zkfk","Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets","Before Harry Potter can even return to Hogwarts for his second year, a house-elf named Dobby appears in his bedroom with a frantic warning: do not go back to school.

Working with Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, Harry follows the evidence into Hogwarts' hidden history, uncovering the story of a student who opened the Chamber fifty years earlier and the nature of the monster that has been sealed inside ever since.\n\nDarker in tone than its predecessor, the second Harry Potter novel deepens the mythology of the Wizarding World and introduces the concept of magical memory as a vessel for evil — a plot thread that will echo through all seven books.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjxs1k9xnpxmtj9gwxnd9k8x.jpg","L9Fs9t0zABmTDTxt8}t401v~~SY3",1998,"4.40",351,[1045],{"id":423,"slug":424,"name":425},[1047,1048,1049,1053,1054,1055,1056],{"id":134,"name":444,"slug":445,"is_fiction":19},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":1050,"name":1051,"slug":1052,"is_fiction":19},17,"Children's Books","childrens",{"id":436,"name":437,"slug":438,"is_fiction":19},{"id":512,"name":513,"slug":514,"is_fiction":19},{"id":447,"name":448,"slug":449,"is_fiction":19},{"id":432,"name":433,"slug":434,"is_fiction":19},[1058],{"id":452,"slug":453,"name":454,"position":766,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":120,"complexity":7,"audience":457,"mood":1060,"themes":1061,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[156,122,75],[],{"id":1063,"slug":1064,"title":1065,"description":1066,"primary_cover_url":1067,"cover_blurhash":1068,"first_publish_year":1069,"community_rating_avg":97,"community_rating_count":1070,"page_count":1071,"authors":1072,"genres":1077,"series":1083,"enrichment":1084},"01kjq77dx08ykthbbb7jc7p80m","the-silent-patient-cfa9","The Silent Patient","Alicia Berenson's life looks perfect.

When she chooses the murder as the subject of her senior capstone project, she tells herself she is only reopening old questions for a school assignment.\n\nThe deeper Pip digs, the less the official version holds together. With the help of Ravi Singh, Sal's younger brother, who has spent years living under the weight of his brother's supposed guilt, she starts tracing the last hours of Andie's life through interviews, old messages, and secrets the town would rather keep buried. Someone notices. As anonymous threats begin to arrive, it becomes clear that the truth is still dangerous, and that the real killer may be much closer than anyone imagined.\n\nTold through Pip's project log, transcripts, and maps alongside the narrative, Holly Jackson's debut is a tightly plotted whodunit that helped define a wave of modern young-adult crime fiction. It is a story about the cost of certainty, the pull of an unsolved case, and how far an ordinary teenager will go to be sure she has found the truth.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz6w5vgmqycxdp0ef1n13tz.jpg","L29GR9xG0etRnis:aKR*2@Sf~Cw{","4.50",416,[1097],{"id":1098,"slug":1099,"name":1100},"01kjq708qaq6gwrvex7vbawj8b","holly-jackson-sfps","Holly Jackson",[1102,1103,1104,1105,1106,1107],{"id":215,"name":216,"slug":217,"is_fiction":19},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":178,"name":179,"slug":180,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":432,"name":433,"slug":434,"is_fiction":19},{"id":1050,"name":1051,"slug":1052,"is_fiction":19},[1109],{"id":1110,"slug":1111,"name":1090,"position":153,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq708tq2w4nycb8n6dgczx3","a-good-girls-guide-to-murder-m9hd",{"pace":120,"complexity":7,"audience":457,"mood":1113,"themes":1114,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[156,122,75],[],{"id":1116,"slug":1117,"title":1118,"description":1119,"primary_cover_url":1120,"cover_blurhash":1121,"first_publish_year":1122,"community_rating_avg":943,"community_rating_count":419,"page_count":1123,"authors":1124,"genres":1126,"series":1132,"enrichment":1134},"01kk4ggpv66bbjp2k78pcvk1a2","harry-potter-and-the-goblet-of-fire-ylqc","Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire","The fourth Harry Potter novel marks the series' decisive shift into darker, more complex territory.

Hogwarts, Durmstrang, and Beauxbatons will each put forward a champion, selected by the impartial Goblet of Fire. Then a fourth name emerges from the Goblet: Harry Potter's, despite his being too young to enter and having submitted no application.\n\nBound by magical obligation to compete, Harry faces three increasingly dangerous tasks while the real threat — Lord Voldemort's desperate attempt to restore himself to full power — assembles in the background. The tournament brings new students, new rivals, the Yule Ball, and the first glimpse of the wider Wizarding World beyond Britain. It also ends with a death that marks the point of no return for the series, transforming what began as a children's adventure story into something altogether more consequential.\n\nThe first Harry Potter book published simultaneously in the UK and US, and at the time of publication the fastest-selling book in history, Goblet of Fire is also the longest and most structurally ambitious entry to that point — the book in which Rowling reveals the full scope of what she was building.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kk4ggpwvn49k3xf9jcgy04p0.jpg","L8F.@vO+xV$i{Mw|WEE#:Y5TnQsp",2000,608,[1125],{"id":423,"slug":424,"name":425},[1127,1128,1129,1130,1131],{"id":134,"name":444,"slug":445,"is_fiction":19},{"id":432,"name":433,"slug":434,"is_fiction":19},{"id":436,"name":437,"slug":438,"is_fiction":19},{"id":447,"name":448,"slug":449,"is_fiction":19},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},[1133],{"id":452,"slug":453,"name":454,"position":97,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":120,"complexity":7,"audience":457,"mood":1135,"themes":1137,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[1136,122,75],"adventurous",[],[]]
