It was supposed to be a simple mission.

Air-drop into the hot zone and save the red cross team on humanitarian aid who stumbled upon a sinister plan of terror intended to unleash absolute terror on US soil, the biggest since nine-eleven.

Nighthawk and his SEALs braved storms of gunfire, outwitting the enemy forces that numbered them more than ten to one before finally escaping with their objective. Little did Nighthawk know that this was merely the start to a much more sinister plot that had unfathomable reaches into his organization.

And as the puzzle unraveled into a complex plot of deceit and betrayal, Nighthawk questioned his own resolve and his organization’s integrity. When all else failed, all that is left for Nighthawk to survive this hellish adventure was his ability to think crystal clear under intense stress, his highly trained SEALs and his personal motto of Nobody Gets Left Behind.

Hollywood, 1939. Promising starlet Clara Lockhart disappears from a Beverly Hills party the night before a big audition. Spencer McCoy – L.A.’s finest private detective – is hired to track her down. But what starts as a simple missing persons case unexpectedly escalates into something far more sinister.

Like classic detectives Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe, Spencer McCoy is a decent man in a corrupt city, trying to make Los Angeles a better place, one case at a time. When he clashes with MGM’s notorious publicity boss – a shady executive who wants Clara to be permanently silenced – McCoy becomes a hunted man.

Can he track down Clara before the studio gets to him? Find out in this first instalment of a smart and stylish mystery series featuring the whip-smart McCoy and his wise-cracking associate Rose. If you like Dashiell Hammett’s Thin Man novels, or the kind of screwball comedies where Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn fight like cat and dog, you’ll enjoy watching the sparks fly when these two get to work.

A storm is coming . . .

Locked behind bars for three years, Shadow did his time, quietly waiting for the magic day when he could return to Eagle Point, Indiana. A man no longer scared of what tomorrow might bring, all he wanted was to be with Laura, the wife he deeply loved, and start a new life.

But just days before his release, Laura and Shadow’s best friend are killed in an accident. With his life in pieces and nothing to keep him tethered, Shadow accepts a job from a beguiling stranger he meets on the way home, an enigmatic man who calls himself Mr. Wednesday. A trickster and rogue, Wednesday seems to know more about Shadow than Shadow does himself.

Life as Wednesday’s bodyguard, driver, and errand boy is far more interesting and dangerous than Shadow ever imagined—it is a job that takes him on a dark and strange road trip and introduces him to a host of eccentric characters whose fates are mysteriously intertwined with his own. Along the way Shadow will learn that the past never dies; that everyone, including his beloved Laura, harbors secrets; and that dreams, totems, legends, and myths are more real than we know.

This is an unforgettable romance about what happens when two very different people fall in love.

Anna Cole grew up poor, but her mother’s love made her feel rich every day. Then her mother died, and Anna was sent to a care home. As a teenager, Anna vowed that one day, she would have children of her own, and create the happy, noisy family life she always craved.

Then, one day, Anna meets Theo Montgomery in a lift. Theo has kind eyes, but a sad past. His family were rich, but his childhood was full of neglect. Theo can’t imagine bringing a child into this cruel world, but he does want a soulmate. Someone to love him unconditionally; someone with whom he can share his family’s wealth.

A world without bees would be much less colourful, with fewer plants and flowers. But that’s not all — food would be in much shorter supply, and available in much less variety. While the media focuses on colony-collapse disorder and the threats to honey bees specifically, the real danger is much greater: all bees are at risk. And because of the integral role these insects play in the ecology of our planet, we may be at risk as well.

The life of Laurence Packer, a melittologist at Toronto’s York University, revolves around bees, whether he’s searching for them under leaves in a South American jungle or identifying new species in the desert heat of Arizona. Packer often finds himself in exotic and even dangerous locales, risking snake bites, sunstroke, and even the ire of other scientists. Everywhere he travels, he discovers the same unsettling trend: bees are disappearing.
