and Punishment","Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment (1866) is one of the towering achievements of Russian literature — a claustrophobic psychological drama set in the sweltering slums of St. Petersburg.\n\nRodion Raskolnikov, a destitute former student, has convinced himself that certain extraordinary men stand above conventional morality and are permitted to commit crimes in service of a greater good. To test the theory, he murders a rapacious old pawnbroker. But the deed does not liberate him; instead it plunges him into a fever of guilt, paranoia, and self-loathing, hunted less by the police than by his own conscience.\n\nAs the shrewd investigator Porfiry Petrovich circles ever closer and the devout, long-suffering Sonya offers a path toward confession and redemption, Dostoevsky builds an unbearably intimate portrait of a mind at war with itself. A foundational work of psychological fiction, it remains a searching meditation on guilt, free will, suffering, and the possibility of moral rebirth.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjq7sa63n7s9pw8c7r57xavv.jpg","LIM~Lmr@^PkWysS15kr=00wJq]s9",1866,"4.42",6,442,[125],{"id":126,"slug":127,"name":128},"01kjq7sa2qtzn21cnchnhn8yxm","fedor-mixailovic-dostoevskii-xtfh","Fyodor Dostoyevsky",[130,133,137,140,141,145],{"id":122,"name":131,"slug":132,"is_fiction":18},"Mystery","mystery",{"id":134,"name":135,"slug":136,"is_fiction":17},70,"History","history",{"id":84,"name":138,"slug":139,"is_fiction":18},"Literary Fiction","literary-fiction",{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":142,"name":143,"slug":144,"is_fiction":18},58,"Classics","classics",{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":148,"complexity":7,"audience":100,"mood":149,"themes":151,"setting_period":7,"summary":154,"content_warnings":7},"slow",[102,103,150],"thought-provoking",[152,153],"morally-grey","unreliable-narrator","A destitute, brilliant former law student in St. Petersburg murders a pawnbroker to test his theory that extraordinary men are above the moral laws governing ordinary people — and is then consumed by paranoia as he tries to outmaneuver both the police and his own conscience.",{"id":156,"slug":157,"title":158,"description":159,"primary_cover_url":160,"cover_blurhash":161,"first_publish_year":162,"community_rating_avg":11,"community_rating_count":12,"page_count":163,"authors":164,"genres":169,"series":176,"enrichment":177},"01kx2g6095g3x1z2rv38prbbhc","indelible-wka3","Indelible","The internationally bestselling author \"squarely in the ranks of Patricia Cornwell and Kathy Reichs\" (Publishers Weekly) shows off her superb talent with this brilliantly conceived, skillfully executed tale of suspense.In Karin Slaughter's exciting new thriller, an officer is shot point-blank in the Grant County police station and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver is wounded, setting off a terrifying hostage situation with medical examiner Sara Linton at the center.

Friend Dahmer","My Friend Dahmer is Derf Backderf's graphic memoir recounting his teenage friendship with Jeffrey Dahmer before he became one of America's most notorious serial killers. Set in Milwaukee during the 1970s and early '80s, the book follows both boys through Eastview Junior High and Revere High School — a period marked by bullying, isolation, and the slow hardening of Dahmer's pathology. Told in stark black-and-white panels, Backderf reconstructs their shared adolescence: Dahmer's binge drinking, his obsession with roadkill, his desperate need for attention, and the failure of every adult around him to see what was already forming beneath the surface. It is a rare work that forces readers to confront how proximity can mask evil until it is too late.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjv3phk4vy4k33pch421pttw.jpg","L07n5oP:L#56~p~qJC9a00S6~q-7",2012,232,[358],{"id":359,"slug":360,"name":361},"01kjv3phn2cnh3m2jthg4ser3q","derf-backderf-5xgg","Derf Backderf",[363,367,368,372,376,380],{"id":364,"name":365,"slug":366,"is_fiction":17},88,"Biography","biography",{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":18},{"id":369,"name":370,"slug":371,"is_fiction":17},69,"Biography & Memoir","biography-memoir",{"id":373,"name":374,"slug":375,"is_fiction":17},104,"True Crime","true-crime",{"id":377,"name":378,"slug":379,"is_fiction":18},18,"Graphic Novels","graphic-novels",{"id":381,"name":382,"slug":383,"is_fiction":17},83,"Sociology","sociology",[],{"pace":98,"complexity":7,"audience":100,"mood":386,"themes":387,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[102,103],[],{"id":389,"slug":390,"title":391,"description":392,"primary_cover_url":393,"cover_blurhash":394,"first_publish_year":162,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":395,"authors":396,"genres":405,"series":409,"enrichment":410},"01kx2kqabxzr3vcxh6qjas91ep","nighttime-is-my-time-sbll","Nighttime Is My Time","Aus dem Amerikan. von Andreas Gressmann.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2kqacqvyv07hyfh99mswa7.jpg?v=14c6c8fe23","L6B3.,~U004:049bM_?G%eIV%M%M",387,[397,401],{"id":398,"slug":399,"name":400},"01kjsv6zsfth7b798nbnw4thrc","mary-higgins-clark-5wor","Mary Higgins Clark",{"id":402,"slug":403,"name":404},"01kx2kqacfraa83ey19vqjcfza","kate-harper-scyy","Kate Harper",[406,407,408],{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":18},{"id":173,"name":174,"slug":175,"is_fiction":18},{"id":122,"name":131,"slug":132,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":97,"complexity":7,"audience":100,"mood":411,"themes":412,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[103,104],[],{"id":156,"slug":157,"title":158,"description":159,"primary_cover_url":160,"cover_blurhash":161,"first_publish_year":162,"community_rating_avg":11,"community_rating_count":12,"page_count":163,"authors":414,"genres":416,"series":420,"enrichment":421},[415],{"id":166,"slug":167,"name":168},[417,418,419],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":18},{"id":173,"name":174,"slug":175,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":97,"complexity":7,"audience":100,"mood":422,"themes":423,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[102,103],[180],{"id":425,"slug":426,"title":427,"description":428,"primary_cover_url":429,"cover_blurhash":430,"first_publish_year":8,"community_rating_avg":11,"community_rating_count":12,"page_count":431,"authors":432,"genres":437,"series":443,"enrichment":444},"01kx2c7qn4a7jgvdsae68ng0tp","promise-not-to-tell-ikpw","Promise Not to Tell","A school nurse returns home to care for her mother and becomes entangled in an investigation of a local murder that eerily mirrors the unsolved death of her childhood friend, Del Griswold.

Reviewers hail his boundless originality, his art, his unparalleled ability to create highly textured, riveting drama, at once viscerally familiar and utterly unique. Author of one #1 New York Times bestseller after another, Koontz is at the pinnacle of his powers, spinning mysteries and miracles, enthralling tales that speak directly to today’s readers, balm for the heart and fire for the mind. In this stunning new novel, he delivers a tour de force of dark suspense and brilliant revelation that has all the Koontz trademarks: adventure, chills, riddles, humor, heartbreak, an unforgettable cast of characters, and a climax that will leave you clamoring for more. Dylan O’Connor is a gifted young artist just trying to do the right thing in life. He’s on his way to an arts festival in Santa Fe when he stops to get a room for himself and his twenty-year-old autistic brother, Shep. But in a nightmarish instant, Dylan is attacked by a mysterious “doctor,” injected with a strange substance, and told that he is now a carrier of something that will either kill him...or transform his life in the most remarkable way. Then he is told that he must flee--before the doctor’s enemies hunt him down for the secret circulating through his body. No one can help him, the doctor says, not even the police. Stunned, disbelieving, Dylan is turned loose to run for his life...and straight into an adventure that will turn the next twenty-four hours into an odyssey of terror, mystery--and wondrous discovery. It is a journey that begins when Dylan and Shep’s path intersects with that of Jillian Jackson. Before that evening Jilly was a beautiful comedian whose biggest worry was whether she would ever find a decent man. Now she too is a carrier. And even as Dylan tries to convince her that they’ll be safer sticking together, cold-eyed men in a threatening pack of black Suburbans approach, only seconds before Jilly’s classic Coupe DeVille explodes into thin air. Now the three are on the run together, but with no idea whom they’re running from--or why. Meanwhile Shep has begun exhibiting increasingly disturbing behavior. And whatever it is that’s coursing through their bodies seems to have plunged them into one waking nightmare after another. Seized by sinister premonitions, they find themselves inexplicably drawn to crime scenes--just minutes before the crimes take place. What this unfathomable power is, how they can use it to stop the evil erupting all around them, and why they have been chosen are only parts of a puzzle that reaches back into the tragic past and the dark secrets they all share: secrets of madness, pain, and untimely death. Perhaps the answer lies in the eerie, enigmatic messages that Shep, with precious time running out, begins to repeat, about an entity who does his work “by the light of the moon.” **By the Light of the Moon** is a novel of heart-stopping suspense and transcendent beauty, of how evil can destroy us and love can redeem us--a masterwork of the imagination in which the surprises come page after page and the spell of sublime storytelling triumphs throughout.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2s0ek6x7ckvwpqh42zq2sg.jpg?v=3a24c3a5e6","Lw7D%AjaRPkBy;jbR%kBu3j[XQj[",2002,"3.00",460,[481],{"id":460,"slug":461,"name":462},[483,484],{"id":173,"name":174,"slug":175,"is_fiction":18},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":97,"complexity":7,"audience":100,"mood":487,"themes":488,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[103,104],[],{"key":490,"params":491,"works":492},"genre_mood",{"genre":33,"mood":102},[493,507,537,565,588,612],{"id":114,"slug":115,"title":116,"description":117,"primary_cover_url":118,"cover_blurhash":119,"first_publish_year":120,"community_rating_avg":121,"community_rating_count":122,"page_count":123,"authors":494,"genres":496,"series":503,"enrichment":504},[495],{"id":126,"slug":127,"name":128},[497,498,499,500,501,502],{"id":122,"name":131,"slug":132,"is_fiction":18},{"id":134,"name":135,"slug":136,"is_fiction":17},{"id":84,"name":138,"slug":139,"is_fiction":18},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":142,"name":143,"slug":144,"is_fiction":18},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":148,"complexity":7,"audience":100,"mood":505,"themes":506,"setting_period":7,"summary":154,"content_warnings":7},[102,103,150],[152,153],{"id":508,"slug":509,"title":510,"description":511,"primary_cover_url":512,"cover_blurhash":513,"first_publish_year":188,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":514,"authors":515,"genres":520,"series":531,"enrichment":532},"01kx2jwztk7mrm6sgx58dt3eqn","faithful-place-1oyt","Faithful Place","In December 1985, nineteen-year-old Frank Mackey plans to run away with his girlfriend Rosie Daly and escape their bleak Dublin lives.

By turns darkly enthralling and relentlessly surprising, The Keepsake showcases an author at the peak of her storytelling powers. For untold years, the perfectly preserved mummy had lain forgotten in the dusty basement of Boston's Crispin Museum. Now its sudden rediscovery by museum staff is both a major coup and an attention-grabbing mystery. Dubbed \"Madam X,\" the mummy--to all appearances, an ancient Egyptian artifact--seems a ghoulish godsend for the financially struggling institution. But medical examiner Maura Isles soon discovers a macabre message hidden within the corpse--horrifying proof that this \"centuries-old\" relic is instead a modern-day murder victim.To Maura and Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli, the forensic evidence is unmistakable, its implications terrifying. And when the grisly remains of yet another woman are found in the hidden recesses of the museum, it becomes chillingly clear that a maniac is at large--and is now taunting them.Archaeologist Josephine Pulcillo's blood runs cold when the killer's cryptic missives are discovered, and her darkest dread becomes real when the carefully preserved corpse of yet a third victim is left in her car like a gruesome offering--or perhaps a ghastly promise of what's to come.The twisted killer's familiarity with post-mortem rituals suggests to Maura and Jane that he may have scientific expertise in common with Josephine. Only Josephine knows that her stalker shares a knowledge even more personally terrifying: details of a dark secret she had thought forever buried.Now Maura must summon her own dusty knowledge of ancient death traditions to unravel his twisted endgame. And when Josephine vanishes, Maura and Jane have precious little time to derail the Archaeology Killer before he adds another chilling piece to his monstrous collection.From the Hardcover edition.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kwzxb5323j2103bjc5smzjzw.jpg?v=30d2fd03d2","LZJ[5#%LIAM{xrxVt5t6}~IW-pxt",2008,"4.50",2,412,[624,628,632],{"id":625,"slug":626,"name":627},"01kjstpfs1w19ze8dg68dssdgh","tess-gerritsen-cg6a","Tess Gerritsen",{"id":629,"slug":630,"name":631},"01kwzxb4zx6vdwgcv66za3p8g7","alyssa-bresnahan-cme9","Alyssa Bresnahan",{"id":633,"slug":634,"name":635},"01kwzxb504fcn55q6wb4vt12gq","carolyn-mccormick-3581","Carolyn McCormick",[637,638,639,640],{"id":173,"name":174,"slug":175,"is_fiction":18},{"id":122,"name":131,"slug":132,"is_fiction":18},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":78,"name":528,"slug":529,"is_fiction":18},[642],{"id":643,"slug":644,"name":645,"position":646,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjstpfxjcyrz3eesj64t8007","rizzoli-isles-5oqe","Rizzoli & Isles","7.00",{"pace":97,"complexity":7,"audience":100,"mood":648,"themes":649,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[102,103],[180,448,447],{"key":651,"params":652,"works":653},"genre",{"genre":33},[654,673,689,720,744,754],{"id":655,"slug":656,"title":657,"description":658,"primary_cover_url":659,"cover_blurhash":660,"first_publish_year":8,"community_rating_avg":11,"community_rating_count":12,"page_count":231,"authors":661,"genres":666,"series":669,"enrichment":670},"01kx2dw3y2m7zgqxymapkts7z2","flesh-and-bone-qkrl","Flesh and Bone","Dr. Bill Brockton, the founder of the world-famous Body Farm, is hard at work on a troubling new case. A young man's battered body has been found in nearby Chattanooga, and it's up to the talented Dr. Brockton to assemble the pieces of the forensic puzzle. Brockton is brought into the case by the rising star of the state's mechanical examiners, Jess Carter. Just as they're on the verge of breaking the case open, events take a terrifying turn. Brockton has re-created the Chattanooga death scene at the Body Farm, but a killer tampers with it in a shocking way: placing another corpse at the setting, confusing authorities and putting Brockton's career and life in jeopardy.

The story is told from the point of view of 10 year old Sally.  She is the middle child of three girls: Nell (the oldest), Sally, and Troo (the youngest).  Troo and Sally are only a year apart and it is Sally's duty to protect her.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>The year is 1959 and Sally is trying very hard to live up to the promise she made to her dying father: take care of Troo (whose real name is Margaret but nicknamed Real Trooper, Troo for short) and tell her mother that dad forgives her.  She doesn't know what her father forgives her mother for, but she has every intent to make sure her mother knows.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>The summer of 1959 a killer is loose in the usually safe neighborhood in Missouri.  Two girls have been found molested and murdered and there are no leads.  Sally is pretty certain she knows who the killer is and that she is the next victim.  Sally is going to try her hardest to make sure nothing happens to herself and Troo, while also trying to deal with a busy older sister and a very sick mother.  She is determined to get the killer before the killer gets her.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>I thought Troo had a mouth that would make a sailor blush, which I found a bit unrealistic for a child who is a few months away from her 10th birthday in 1959 (2007 sure, but not 1959).  With that being said, I really loved Troo and Sally.  These two girls are all they have.  Their mother is in the hospital, sick with a staph infection (that she got at the hospital after gall bladder surgery).  Their older sister Nell is too busy to ensure their proper care (feeding, bathing, usual child care needs); she's busy with her new boyfriend Eddie and her future as a hairdresser.  So, it is just the two girls.  They stick together, gathering information from neighborhood kids and adults about the murders, as well as popping in at a few households for dinner once Nell stops buying groceries.  Sometimes Sally's train of thought jumped its track, but I think that's what I liked about her.  She was very focused on taking care of Troo, praying for her mother, and trying to convince one of the adults she trusted that she knew who the killer was, and it was all very difficult for her.  I think any child would have a hard time trying to be that responsible while also trying to be a child.  Sally was my favorite character.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>This a first book for Lesley Kagen, and I am looking forward to reading more from her.","none","rv-01kx27axtanp8j31624ktkca5j",[],"2026-07-09T01:19:36.000000Z"]
