What the coroner is ready to write off as an ordinary overdose turns personal the moment LAPD homicide detective Bosch recognizes the dead man: Billy Meadows, a fellow \"tunnel rat\" who fought beside him in the claustrophobic tunnels of the Vietnam War.\n\nConvinced the death was murder, Bosch follows a trail that leads to an audacious bank-vault burglary tunneled from below — a crime that draws in the FBI and forces him into an uneasy partnership with Special Agent Eleanor Wish. As the two dig into the war-scarred past that links the victim to a small circle of veterans, Bosch also has to fend off Internal Affairs officers who would happily end his career.\n\nWinner of the Edgar Award for Best First Novel, The Black Echo introduces Hieronymus \"Harry\" Bosch, a stubborn, wounded investigator who lives by a single rule: everybody counts, or nobody counts.

A woman lies still on the freezing ground. The howling wind lifts the last of the snow clinging to her face, exposing her lovely features, frozen in forever sleep. Detective Josie Quinn is still recovering from the killing of a beloved member of her team when she and her husband Noah receive yet more devastating news. Close to her breaking point, Josie heads to a specialist trauma retreat, set in an isolated group of log cabins in the mountains of Pennsylvania. But fear is not far behind her. Josie’s five fellow patients all seem to be hiding secrets darker than just the problems that brought them there and a storm is gathering, with thick snow coming down fast, isolating the cabins from the world below.  Then one morning, Meg Cleary disappears. Having spent years living in terror of a stalker, Meg had come to the retreat to try to piece her life back together. But now, her cabin is empty, no logs are burning in her fireplace, no tracks in the snow lead to or from her door. Quickly organizing a search, Josie’s worst fear is realized when she finds Meg’s body lying in the snow, the marks around her neck revealing that her death was no accident.  And this is no normal case, as Josie is stranded without her team, a phone signal or any legal authority to investigate. When she discovers that someone has placed hidden cameras inside the retreat buildings, Josie’s terror grows with the knowledge that the murderer is among them. Then another patient goes missing. With their food supplies running low and no chance of escape, Josie knows that she is in the greatest danger of her life, and that she alone has a chance to identify the killer and save the rest of the group before it’s too late… A totally compelling and unputdownable crime thriller that will have you turning the pages late into the night, from an Amazon, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author. Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Robert Dugoni and Rachel Caine. What readers are saying about Face Her Fear: ‘Wow!... Blown away with this one!...

Her body was the kind of cold that only the dead can be… A body lies beside Kettlewell Creek, the waters rushing and churning next to her broken form. When Detective Josie Quinn arrives at the scene, she finds few clues and a victim with no enemies. Nineteen-year-old Sharon Eddy was cherished by her beloved grandmother, who raised her, and her death shocks the Denton community where she worked at the local animal hospital. When Josie is called to the morgue to hear the results of Sharon’s autopsy, the case takes a sinister turn. She is horrified to see that a mark has been burned on to Sharon’s left hip with a cattle brand: a horseshoe shot through with an arrow. Shaken and terrified, the usually cool and collected Medical Examiner Anya Feist lifts her own top to show Josie an identical mark. Ten years ago, Anya fled her hometown after her marriage to her high school sweetheart ended in terror. But Josie can find nothing to connect Anya’s ex-husband Vance Hadlee to the murder. Her search of his family farm leads to more questions than answers. Then another body is found. A young woman in a red coat, lying in her final resting place, her hip bearing the same tell-tale horseshoe mark. As Josie gets closer to finding the truth, the killer creeps ever closer to home, threatening the lives of those Josie loves the most.

Loosened by cocktails and a wound he can't stop pressing, Ted admits that his wife is cheating on him — and that, some nights, he thinks he could kill her for it. 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",7,320,[396],{"id":397,"slug":398,"name":399},"01kkfjhddrz67f4y79e301r8ey","peter-swanson-tbik","Peter Swanson",[401,402,403,404,405,409],{"id":46,"name":47,"slug":48,"is_fiction":19},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":19},{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":19},{"id":42,"name":43,"slug":44,"is_fiction":19},{"id":406,"name":407,"slug":408,"is_fiction":19},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",{"id":308,"name":309,"slug":310,"is_fiction":19},[411],{"id":412,"slug":413,"name":414,"position":252,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kkfjhdfa77fzhmx6sgxzkza2","henry-kimballlily-kintner-zm8g","Henry Kimball\u002FLily Kintner",{"pace":198,"complexity":7,"audience":201,"mood":416,"themes":417,"setting_period":7,"summary":388,"content_warnings":7},[204,203,206,205],[418,209,257],"unreliable-narrator",{"id":420,"slug":421,"title":422,"description":423,"primary_cover_url":424,"cover_blurhash":425,"first_publish_year":426,"community_rating_avg":427,"community_rating_count":34,"page_count":428,"authors":429,"genres":434,"series":443,"enrichment":444},"01kkfjcwd9pyqkj99a7ytvn00d","the-chalk-man-p6rr","The Chalk Man","In the quiet English village of Anderbury, twelve-year-old Eddie Adams and his tight-knit group of friends invent a private code: chalk stick figures, each child drawing in their own colour to leave secret messages for the others.

Takeshi Kovacs — a former Envoy, an elite and dangerous kind of soldier — is killed on his home world and wakes up hundreds of light-years away in a borrowed body on Earth, downloaded into a job he did not choose.\n\nHis new employer is Laurens Bancroft, one of the near-immortal super-rich, who was found with his head blown off. Bancroft was restored from a backup, but the backup predates his death, so he has no memory of it — and he does not believe the police verdict of suicide. He hires Kovacs to find out who killed him, and why.\n\nWhat follows is a hard-boiled murder investigation set in a neon, rain-slicked future, unfolding through virtual torture, designer drugs, corporate conspiracy, and the philosophical vertigo of a world where the self can be copied, edited, and deleted. Violent, cerebral, and stylish, Altered Carbon is a landmark of modern cyberpunk and the first novel in the Takeshi Kovacs trilogy.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjt58myvyj25bhr1gwafv9xr.jpg","LaF?I%t8b0kD~qjqkBfi%Lt7flay",2002,532,[905],{"id":906,"slug":907,"name":908},"01kjt58n0kfmx0699d6jn0qby2","richard-k-morgan-x01z","Richard K.

The son of a survivalist family, Shaw is an expert tracker. Now he makes a living as a \"reward seeker,\" traveling the country to help police solve crimes and private citizens locate missing persons. But what seems a simple investigation quickly thrusts him into the dark heart of America's tech hub and the cutthroat billion-dollar video-gaming industry. \"Escape if you can.\" When another victim is kidnapped, the clues point to one video game with a troubled past--The Whispering Man. In that game, the player has to survive after being abandoned in an inhospitable setting with five random objects. Is a madman bringing the game to life? \"Or die with dignity.\" Shaw finds himself caught in a cat-and-mouse game, risking his own life to save the victims even as he pursues the kidnapper across both Silicon Valley and the dark 'net.

The victims forehead and eyes are wrapped in a band of white paper, sealed on one side with red sealing wax. On the other is a smear of blood in the shape of a figure eight. The body has been roughly and violently shaved clean - head to toe - a temporary tattoo on his finger. When homicide detectives Kevin Byrne and Jessica Balzano investigate, they soon realise that their crime scene is linked to the past. Eight years ago, another body was found in the same place, in the same position, killed in the same manner. That case was never closed. Apart from their killers unusual calling cards, the crime scene photos - past and present - are identical. As another brutalised body appears, then another, it becomes horrifyingly clear that someone is recreating unsolved murders from Philadelphias past in the most sinister of ways.

Four years earlier, the young film-production assistant was murdered in her apartment, and days later a movie set was robbed of two million dollars in cash. 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. Working without a badge for the first time, he learns how little protection the truth offers a man who no longer has the department behind him.\n\nNarrated in Bosch's own first-person voice — a first for the series — Lost Light is a reflective, hard-edged mystery about obsession, memory, and what a detective becomes when the job that defined him is gone.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ktzxye5wntqstc3b7fj4ezr3.jpg?v=efabc252ea","LDG8lu?^ivt30000ozt70NXS?aWZ",2003,376,[1201],{"id":234,"slug":235,"name":236},[1203,1204,1205,1206],{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":19},{"id":46,"name":47,"slug":48,"is_fiction":19},{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":19},{"id":50,"name":51,"slug":52,"is_fiction":19},[1208],{"id":249,"slug":250,"name":251,"position":1209,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"9.00",{"pace":198,"complexity":7,"audience":201,"mood":1211,"themes":1213,"setting_period":7,"summary":1214,"content_warnings":7},[205,204,1212,206],"reflective",[256,257],"Retired from the LAPD but unable to let go, Harry Bosch reopens a case that was taken from him years ago: the murder of film-production assistant Angella Benton and a two-million-dollar movie-set robbery.
