Excerpts

The Lady Upstairs

Halley Sutton

"So: the dirty stinking truth."


The Other Emily

Dean Koontz

"Crystal confetti showered on the city, a final celebration of a winter that, on this twenty-fourth day of March, lingered past its official expiration date."


Prefecture D

Hideo Yokoyama

"If memory served, Toshie was around ten years Tomoko’s senior, which would put her in her early fifties."


In the Lion’s Den

Barbara Taylor Bradford

"Detective Inspector Roger Crawford sat at his desk in his office at Scotland Yard, checking off the appointments he had kept that day."


Moonflower Murders

Anthony Horowitz

"The Polydorus is a charming family-run hotel, located a short walk away from the lively town of Agios Nikolaos, one hour from Heraklion."


The Cipher

Isobella Maldonado

"Nina sat on the edge of a stiff vinyl chair in the waiting area outside Special Agent in Charge Tom Ingersoll’s office."


The War of the Poor 

Éric Vuillard

"And so, from the four corners of the empire surged the destitute hordes."


A Galway Epiphany

Ken Bruen

"Danny Doherty called me, said he had news."


Double Agent

Tom Bradby

"Save for a thin skein of mist that curled its way around the dome of the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute on the far side of the Grand Canal, it was a bright, crisp, clear morning in Venice."


“The Unhaunting”

Kevin Nguyen

"After Priscilla died, Carson’s only hope was that he’d be haunted."
