As the genius son of an eccentric billionaire, his off-putting behavior is often blamed on his high IQ. They say there’s a thin line between genius and madness. August is both—a brilliant professor loved by his students and a ruthless, obsessive killer tasked with righting the wrongs of a failing justice system. And he’s just found his latest obsession: Lucas Blackwell. Lucas Blackwell was once the golden child of the FBI, using his secret talent as a clairvoyant to help put away society’s worst. Until, with a touch, he discovers his co-worker is a killer and his life falls apart. Now, the world thinks he’s crazy and that co-worker wants him dead. He seeks refuge at a small college, hoping to rebuild his life and his reputation. But then he runs into August Mulvaney. Literally. August is immediately intrigued with Lucas and his backstory. He doesn’t believe in psychics, but there’s no missing the terror in his eyes when they collide in the hallway. Now, August has a problem. Lucas knows his secret, and August knows he wants Lucas. And August always gets what he wants. Can he convince Lucas that not all killers are created equal and that having a psychopath in his corner—and in his life—might be just what he needs?",2021,"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx9cj07fnbbyn9s316hhqr71.jpg?v=822b9383a9","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kx9cj0733e45sejbh4bb9570.png?v=68e76ef689","L68O;UD701?@]-M_9ct68yyCaJIt","5.00",1,312,355,0,"complete",false,true,[17,17,17,17,17,17,17,17,17,14],[23],{"id":24,"slug":25,"name":26,"role":27,"bio":7},"01kx9cgs4qptv7h8j3kfkh8eqd","onley-james-bbxb","Onley James","author",[29,33],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},44,"Crime","crime",[38,42],{"id":39,"name":40,"description":7,"role":41,"is_spoiler":19},"01kx9cj093k8k40136swayhm47","August Mulvaney","protagonist",{"id":43,"name":44,"description":7,"role":45,"is_spoiler":19},"01kx9cj099s600npk93sztp0dm","Lucas Blackwell","supporting",[],[48],{"id":49,"name":50,"type":51},"01kjq6ypnyhspp8w2r6zq916s4","Fiction, romance, general","subject",[53],{"id":54,"slug":55,"name":56,"position":57,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kx9cj089q61naxtsnjsqfhnj","necessary-evils-oypo","Necessary Evils","2.00",[59,71,76,82],{"id":60,"title":6,"edition_name":7,"format":61,"format_label":62,"page_count":15,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"narrator":7,"publish_date":63,"cover_url":64,"cover_blurhash":7,"isbn_13":65,"asin":7,"publisher":66,"language":67,"quality_score":68,"submission_status":69,"buy_links":70},"01kx9cj07rn0dp263k4x961jp7","unknown","Unknown","2021","https:\u002F\u002Fcovers.openlibrary.org\u002Fb\u002Fid\u002F13676986-L.jpg","9781685240431","Primedia eLaunch LLC","en",9,"approved",[],{"id":72,"title":6,"edition_name":7,"format":61,"format_label":62,"page_count":15,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"narrator":7,"publish_date":63,"cover_url":10,"cover_blurhash":12,"isbn_13":73,"asin":7,"publisher":66,"language":67,"quality_score":74,"submission_status":69,"buy_links":75},"01kx9cj07fnbbyn9s316hhqr71","9781684891443",10,[],{"id":77,"title":6,"edition_name":7,"format":61,"format_label":62,"page_count":15,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"narrator":7,"publish_date":78,"cover_url":7,"cover_blurhash":7,"isbn_13":79,"asin":7,"publisher":66,"language":67,"quality_score":80,"submission_status":69,"buy_links":81},"01kx9cj07x7q84zmj5hyn59hn1","2022","9798887224312",3,[],{"id":83,"title":6,"edition_name":7,"format":61,"format_label":62,"page_count":15,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"narrator":7,"publish_date":63,"cover_url":7,"cover_blurhash":7,"isbn_13":84,"asin":7,"publisher":85,"language":67,"quality_score":80,"submission_status":69,"buy_links":86},"01kx9cj08254jh00jdynfgwh71","9798465018371","Independently Published",[],{"summary":7,"pace":88,"complexity":89,"complexity_score":90,"audience":91,"mood":92,"themes":95,"setting_period":98,"content_warnings":99},"fast","moderate",4,"adult",[93,94],"dark","tense",[96,97],"morally-grey","found-family","contemporary",[100,101,102,103,104,105],"graphic-violence","gore","kidnapping","torture","sexual-assault","substance-abuse",{"id":72,"title":6,"edition_name":7,"format":61,"format_label":62,"page_count":15,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"publish_date":63,"cover_url":10,"cover_blurhash":12,"isbn_13":73,"asin":7,"publisher":66,"language":67,"buy_links":107},[],[],"2026-07-11T20:05:32.000000Z",[111,161,191,225,256,288,318,340,362,387],{"id":112,"slug":113,"title":114,"description":115,"primary_cover_url":116,"cover_blurhash":117,"first_publish_year":118,"community_rating_avg":119,"community_rating_count":120,"page_count":121,"authors":122,"genres":127,"series":145,"enrichment":151},"01kkfjhdbyasssdrp20n5e3w9e","the-kind-worth-killing-zvl8","The Kind Worth Killing","On a delayed flight from London to Boston, Ted Severson strikes up a drink-fueled conversation with an elegant stranger named Lily. 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,"3.67",6,320,[123],{"id":124,"slug":125,"name":126},"01kkfjhddrz67f4y79e301r8ey","peter-swanson-tbik","Peter Swanson",[128,129,133,136,140,141],{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},{"id":130,"name":131,"slug":132,"is_fiction":20},5,"Thriller","thriller",{"id":120,"name":134,"slug":135,"is_fiction":20},"Mystery","mystery",{"id":137,"name":138,"slug":139,"is_fiction":20},40,"Suspense","suspense",{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},{"id":142,"name":143,"slug":144,"is_fiction":20},210,"Noir","noir",[146],{"id":147,"slug":148,"name":149,"position":150,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kkfjhdfa77fzhmx6sgxzkza2","henry-kimballlily-kintner-zm8g","Henry Kimball\u002FLily Kintner","1.00",{"pace":88,"complexity":7,"audience":91,"mood":152,"themes":155,"setting_period":7,"summary":160,"content_warnings":7},[93,94,153,154],"mysterious","gritty",[156,157,96,158,159],"unreliable-narrator","multiple-povs","revenge","betrayal","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.

He's not the only one; the surviving members of the old group each receive the same message. As the two timelines close in on one another, Eddie is forced back into the events of that summer and the question of what really happened — and who among them has never stopped playing the game.\n\nC.J.

A celebrated painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house overlooking a park in one of London's most desirable neighbourhoods. Then, one evening, her husband Gabriel returns home late and Alicia shoots him five times in the face — and from that moment never speaks another word.\n\nHer refusal to explain, or even to talk, turns a domestic tragedy into a public sensation and hardens into an unsolvable mystery. Alicia is confined to the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London, where she paints and stays silent. Theo Faber, a criminal psychotherapist who has been fascinated by her case for years, engineers a job at the unit and sets out to reach her, convinced that if he can only get Alicia to speak, he can uncover the truth of that night.\n\nTold through Theo's obsessive investigation and Alicia's own private diary, Alex Michaelides's debut is a tautly plotted psychological thriller that draws on Greek tragedy and builds to one of the genre's most talked-about twists.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ksxn51w268j0at5kteg1gx1n.jpg","LXPPZCI:InRi_4xaV?V@S$ozahj[","4.06",18,338,[373],{"id":374,"slug":375,"name":376},"01kjq77dyksetajsedf6dp3qqw","alex-michaelides-vigb","Alex Michaelides",[378,379,380,381,382],{"id":137,"name":138,"slug":139,"is_fiction":20},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},{"id":130,"name":131,"slug":132,"is_fiction":20},{"id":120,"name":134,"slug":135,"is_fiction":20},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":88,"complexity":7,"audience":91,"mood":385,"themes":386,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[93,153,94],[156],{"id":388,"slug":389,"title":390,"description":391,"primary_cover_url":392,"cover_blurhash":393,"first_publish_year":394,"community_rating_avg":264,"community_rating_count":395,"page_count":396,"authors":397,"genres":402,"series":424,"enrichment":429},"01kk6meeghebxhcza1ezjrpgk1","le-sang-des-anges-vis0","Le sang des anges","Off the port of Toulon, divers recover an ancient Punic urn containing a mysterious substance.

In The Five, historian Hallie Rubenhold refuses that framing and instead reconstructs the full lives of Polly Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly.\n\nDrawing on extensive archival research, Rubenhold traces each woman from birth through the social forces — poverty, industrialization, unstable marriages, addiction, and the near-total lack of options available to working-class women — that led them to the streets of the East End. In doing so she dismantles the long-repeated assumption that all five were prostitutes, and restores to them the dignity of being understood as individuals rather than corpses.\n\nWinner of the Baillie Gifford Prize, The Five is a work of social history and biography that deliberately keeps its gaze away from the killer. It is a moving, meticulously researched portrait of Victorian womanhood and a corrective to one of the most famous true-crime narratives in the world.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfjhvydamqc4kf6cktbzx9b.jpg","LRAo4}V?DOog*0V?Mdt7IAbIoJj[",[757],{"id":758,"slug":759,"name":760},"01kkc81n9r3erfyea2z7aw3d9x","hallie-rubenhold-rew9","Hallie Rubenhold",[762,766,770,774,775,779],{"id":763,"name":764,"slug":765,"is_fiction":19},70,"History","history",{"id":767,"name":768,"slug":769,"is_fiction":19},104,"True Crime","true-crime",{"id":771,"name":772,"slug":773,"is_fiction":19},88,"Biography","biography",{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},{"id":776,"name":777,"slug":778,"is_fiction":19},69,"Biography & Memoir","biography-memoir",{"id":780,"name":781,"slug":782,"is_fiction":19},83,"Sociology","sociology",[],{"pace":89,"complexity":7,"audience":91,"mood":785,"themes":789,"setting_period":7,"summary":790,"content_warnings":7},[786,787,788,251,93],"informative","reflective","melancholic",[],"Historian Hallie Rubenhold reclaims the lives of the five women murdered by Jack the Ripper in 1888 — Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine, and Mary Jane — refusing to center the killer.

Everyone knows the story: her boyfriend, Sal Singh, killed her and then took his own life. The case is closed. But Pippa Fitz-Amobi has never quite believed it. 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{","4.53",[916],{"id":917,"slug":918,"name":919},"01kjq708qaq6gwrvex7vbawj8b","holly-jackson-sfps","Holly Jackson",[921,922,923,924,925,929],{"id":137,"name":138,"slug":139,"is_fiction":20},{"id":120,"name":134,"slug":135,"is_fiction":20},{"id":130,"name":131,"slug":132,"is_fiction":20},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},{"id":926,"name":927,"slug":928,"is_fiction":20},16,"Young Adult","young-adult",{"id":930,"name":931,"slug":932,"is_fiction":20},17,"Children's Books","childrens",[934],{"id":935,"slug":936,"name":910,"position":150,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq708tq2w4nycb8n6dgczx3","a-good-girls-guide-to-murder-m9hd",{"pace":88,"complexity":7,"audience":938,"mood":939,"themes":940,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"young_adult",[153,94,93],[],{"id":942,"slug":943,"title":944,"description":945,"primary_cover_url":946,"cover_blurhash":947,"first_publish_year":948,"community_rating_avg":949,"community_rating_count":950,"page_count":951,"authors":952,"genres":957,"series":964,"enrichment":965},"01kjq7te00e1c1w3h3vj67a7hn","gone-girl-a6u8","Gone Girl","On the morning of their fifth wedding anniversary, Amy Dunne disappears from the Missouri house she shares with her husband, Nick. There are signs of a struggle in the living room, and as the hours pass with no word, the police and a ravenous national media begin to circle. Nick, evasive and strangely composed under the cameras, quickly becomes the prime suspect in his wife's disappearance.\n\nGillian Flynn tells the story in two alternating voices. Nick narrates the investigation from the present as suspicion tightens around him, while Amy's diary traces the couple's courtship and the slow souring of their marriage. The two accounts refuse to line up, and the widening gap between them keeps the reader guessing about who is lying, who is telling the truth, and what really happened on the anniversary.\n\nBeneath the missing-person case, Gone Girl is a caustic anatomy of a modern marriage and the performances it demands. Flynn dissects the roles spouses play for each other and for the outside world, the machinery of a media spectacle, and the resentments that accumulate when two clever, image-conscious people stop being honest with each other. Sharp, cynical, and ruthlessly plotted around a pair of unreliable narrators, it became one of the defining psychological thrillers of its era.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ktkx3dk6k3s6syphedc5mc2x.jpg?v=2f60cfe167","L35;,O~p%#-:MxIUM{Rj029GMxIV",2012,"4.16",15,486,[953],{"id":954,"slug":955,"name":956},"01kjq7te064746m1ayvtbsbyh4","gillian-flynn-liux","Gillian Flynn",[958,959,960,961,962,963],{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},{"id":130,"name":131,"slug":132,"is_fiction":20},{"id":120,"name":134,"slug":135,"is_fiction":20},{"id":137,"name":138,"slug":139,"is_fiction":20},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},{"id":669,"name":670,"slug":671,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":88,"complexity":7,"audience":91,"mood":966,"themes":967,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[93,94],[156,190],{"id":969,"slug":970,"title":971,"description":972,"primary_cover_url":973,"cover_blurhash":974,"first_publish_year":975,"community_rating_avg":976,"community_rating_count":977,"page_count":978,"authors":979,"genres":984,"series":995,"enrichment":1000},"01kjq7nras6zteqkynzng3ffbc","the-da-vinci-code-zcmz","The Da Vinci Code","Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is jolted awake in Paris by a late-night call: the elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum, his body arranged in a strange pose and ringed by baffling ciphers. 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. It is the second novel featuring Robert Langdon and the book that made Dan Brown a global phenomenon.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz6hg4bj85xmzpemc2cswcp.jpg","LCH,^QENxYS4.lWXt6sn9gj[R,WC",2003,"4.31",13,454,[980],{"id":981,"slug":982,"name":983},"01kjq7nrb18rgx9m126z6hryqe","dan-brown-pwui","Dan Brown",[985,986,987,988,989,993,994],{"id":120,"name":134,"slug":135,"is_fiction":20},{"id":130,"name":131,"slug":132,"is_fiction":20},{"id":137,"name":138,"slug":139,"is_fiction":20},{"id":404,"name":405,"slug":406,"is_fiction":20},{"id":990,"name":991,"slug":992,"is_fiction":19},75,"Philosophy & Religion","philosophy-religion",{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},{"id":763,"name":764,"slug":765,"is_fiction":19},[996],{"id":997,"slug":998,"name":999,"position":57,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq7nrssg9jm7at57d8e2wh2","robert-langdon-nnyu","Robert Langdon",{"pace":88,"complexity":7,"audience":91,"mood":1001,"themes":1003,"setting_period":7,"summary":1004,"content_warnings":7},[94,153,1002],"intellectual",[223],"A murder inside the Louvre pulls symbologist Robert Langdon into an overnight chase across Paris and London, chasing a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci.",{"id":1006,"slug":1007,"title":1008,"description":1009,"primary_cover_url":1010,"cover_blurhash":1011,"first_publish_year":394,"community_rating_avg":1012,"community_rating_count":977,"page_count":713,"authors":1013,"genres":1018,"series":1028,"enrichment":1033},"01kjq7pex9g3bnmevvqmdc027f","one-of-us-is-lying-vjiq","One Of Us Is Lying","When five students file into detention at Bayview High — Bronwyn the overachiever, Addy the prom queen, Nate the criminal, Cooper the athlete, and Simon, the outcast who runs the school's notorious gossip app — only four walk out alive. Simon dies from an allergic reaction that looks less and less like an accident, and the police quickly zero in on the four students left in the room: each of them was about to be exposed by one of Simon's next posts, and each had a reason to want him silenced.\n\nAs the investigation drags on and the media descends, the four suspects are forced into uneasy alliance, piecing together what really happened even as the secrets Simon meant to reveal threaten to come out anyway — from each other, if not from him. Told in alternating first-person chapters, One of Us Is Lying is a fast-paced YA mystery about the personas built to survive high school and what happens when they start to crack.\n\nKaren M.

None of them has met their absent host, the elusive U. N. Owen, and as the boat that brought them departs, they settle in for what promises to be an unusual stay. After dinner on the first evening, a recorded voice fills the room, accusing every guest of having caused a death and escaped justice. Soon afterward, one of them dies. As a storm cuts the island off from the mainland, the remaining guests realize their deaths are being staged to mirror the verses of an old nursery rhyme that hangs framed in each bedroom. One by one, the survivors fall, and with no way to summon help and no sign of any other living soul, suspicion turns inward. Each person studies the others, certain that the killer is among them, while the rhyme counts steadily down. Trapped, watched, and unable to trust anyone, they must reckon with the secrets that brought them here even as the circle of the living shrinks. Christie builds a closed, methodical puzzle in which guilt, fear, and isolation press on every character, and the question is not only who will be next but how anyone could orchestrate such a sequence of deaths on a deserted island. It is a tightly constructed account of crime and consequence with no series detective to set things right.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ksy9raxgnkqzkkte10snkk4f.jpg","LGCs{+-TD*bI00NfWDRj.Tt7%Mxu",1951,"4.58",12,187,[1048],{"id":1049,"slug":1050,"name":1051},"01kjq7prh50ekz5eybgdhd9q51","agatha-christie-t6d5","Agatha Christie",[1053,1054,1055,1056,1057,1058],{"id":130,"name":131,"slug":132,"is_fiction":20},{"id":137,"name":138,"slug":139,"is_fiction":20},{"id":501,"name":502,"slug":503,"is_fiction":20},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},{"id":120,"name":134,"slug":135,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":88,"complexity":7,"audience":91,"mood":1061,"themes":1062,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[94,153,93],[1063],"locked-room",[]]
