A Prey Novel

Sandford J: Lethal Prey

Lethal Prey

Lucas Davenport tracks a prolific serial killer in this nail-biting #1 New York Times-bestseller from John Sandford. Clayton Deese looks like a small-time criminal, muscle for hire when his loan shark boss needs to teach someone a lesson. Now, seven months after a job that went south and landed him in jail, Deese has skipped out on bail, and the U.S. Marshals come looking for him. They don't much care about a low-level guy--it's his boss they want--but Deese might be their best chance to bring down the whole operation. Then, they step onto a dirt trail behind Deese's rural Louisiana cabin and find a jungle full of graves. Now Lucas Davenport is on the trail of a serial killer who has been operating for years without notice. His quarry is ruthless, and--as Davenport will come to find--full of surprises . . .

Masked Prey

Phryne Fisher

The indefatigable Miss Phryne Fisher returns to solve what may be her most puzzling murder. When Phryne Fisher is invited to Bendigo to witness the investiture of her old friend Lionel, who is being made a Bishop, her expectations of the solemn and dignified ceremony do not include a murder. Phryne is soon working with perspicacious local Constable Watson and eagle-eyed Inspector Mick Kelly to identify the perpetrator. It becomes quickly apparent the murder victim had been an overzealous deacon with a nose for trouble. Nobody seems very inclined to mourn his passing. Applying her quick wits and magnetic charm, Phryne and her expanding team of sleuths discover murky layers of church politics, social scandals and business scams and blackmail. Soon, various suspects begin to form a long list, all with excellent motives for killing the deacon. Could the murderer be his own wife? A visiting dignitary? The mysterious organist? The angelic Brookes? The unemployed teacher? And why is the Bishop's Court being burgled? Meanwhile the clock is ticking ... Will Phryne be able to bring to light the proof she needs before the killer strikes again or disappears completely?

A True Crime Lover's Travel Guide to the Mid-Atlantic States

“Seductive and merciless, The Debtor’s Game turns fae politics into something intimate and dangerous.”—Jean Kwok, New York Times bestselling author “Profoundly dystopian . . . This is fantasy at its most hard-hitting.”—Shalini Abeysekara, author of This Monster of Mine Debtor: One who is owned; a faerie. In the kingdom of Amyria, the High Fae rule all. Faeries are born into servitude to pay off tattooed rings of debt, which can be added to at any time by the mercurial Fae. It is the way of things. Avery serves under Lady Kassandra in the Versara Palace, the pinnacle of high society, where she becomes tangled in a deadly game of politics and power. Avery must help Kassandra escape her violent brother by catching the eye of the soon-to-be-crowned King Maxian. But things go horribly wrong at the coronation, forcing Avery to split her loyalties between Kassandra and Maxian, where one wrong move could cost Avery her family. When Avery discovers earth-shattering secrets about the High Fae, she stops playing fair—for the game is rigged . . . and she just might find the key to freeing them all. “Stunning from beginning to end” (Library Journal, starred review), The Debtor’s Game is a dark fantasy novel of staggering scope and imagination—one that shows the best way to deal with an unjust system is to tear it out by its roots.

In a world where faeries are born with tattoos of debt to the High Fae, one servant must navigate a game of dangerous, sensual court politics between her mistress and the king—the first installment in a dark fantasy series. “Dark, dangerous, and deadly, The Debtor’s Game is a gorgeous treat to read, with sensual and atmospheric prose. I could not put this book down.”—Lindsay Straube, New York Times bestselling author of Kiss of the Basilisk As a palace faerie, Avery is busy preparing Lady Kassandra, a High Fae of the House of Illusion, for the upcoming coronation. Both of their freedoms rely on it: Kassandra, to escape her violent brother, and Avery, to pay off rings of debt tattoos she has inherited from her family, which force her to serve the High Fae. After a series of tragic events, Avery is forced to split her loyalties between Lady Kassandra and the newly crowned King Maxian, an alluring High Fae of staggering power. Avery agrees to spy on the King in exchange for liberating her family from debt, forming a triangle that proves more dangerous by the minute—further complicated by Avery’s warring desire and resentment for both Maxian and Kassandra. But freedom from her debt grows further out of reach when she’s forced to test her loyalties, leading her to uncover secrets about the High Fae with earth-shattering implications. Soon, Avery must find out whether the faeries—and herself—are really as powerless against the High Fae as they seem...or whether she just might hold the key to freeing them all.

"If you've heard this story before, don't stop me, because I'd like to hear it again"Groucho Marx
In this entertaining collection of true stories from the past you will read about several murderers, one who killed in a blind rage, one who was honest, one who thought he was Billy the Kid and one who killed because of a cut on his thumb. You will meet bank robbers, faith healers, a priest who went underground, a mastermind who wasn't and his lawyer who was, a dancing princess, the Davy Crockett aficionado who was kidnapped and a teacher who was not, a pianist in need of a haircut and a guy who was told "you're going to need a bigger boat", and many more. All of them were simply...people. Some heroic, some tragic, some mysterious, some cruel, and some amusing (some intentionally and some not). In short, they were just humans trying to master that most difficult of human endeavours, surviving, some having greater success with it than others. But they were all interesting.And every individual you will meet from "Three-Fingered Louie" to the lady named "Woman of the Falling Snow" did (or do) exist and every story you will read is absolutely true. Keith Black, in his conversational style, will make you laugh and make you cry, but, most of all, you will be entertained. Enjoy!
