Excerpts

The Sons

Anton Svensson

"Change. When you can’t run any more, when you don’t make your way home, or even know where it is—sooner or later change is the only road to travel, he was absolutely convinced of that."


Beast in View

Margaret Millar

"She stared at what she had written, subconsciously aware that a mistake had been made but not seeing it at first. It looked so right, somehow: I hope that all is hell with you and Douglas."


Macbeth

Jo Nesbø

"The shiny raindrop fell from the sky, through the darkness, towards the shivering lights of the port below."


The Temptation of Forgiveness

Donna Leon

"On his desk, Brunetti found what he did not want to find, a file that had been accumulating pages ever since its first appearance in the Questura."


The Sandman

Lars Kepler

"A train is thundering through the nocturnal winter landscape. The locomotive is pulling almost three hundred meters of boxcars behind it."


The Winter Station

Jody Shields

"When Andreev said two bodies had been discovered outside the Kharbin train station, the Baron had an image of the dead men sprawled against snow, frozen in positions their bodies couldn’t hold in life."


The Woman in the Window

A.J. Finn

“My French leçon today, and Les Diaboliques tonight. A rat-bastard husband, his “little ruin” of a wife, a mistress, a murder, a vanished corpse.”
