She is an iconic member of the British Royal Family, beloved for her beauty and
charitable
works, resented by her former husband and his mother, the Queen of England. But when
a bomb
explodes aboard her holiday yacht, British intelligence turns to one man to track
down her
killer: legendary spy and assassin Gabriel Allon.
Gabriel's target is Eamon Quinn, a master bomb maker and mercenary of death who
sells his
services to the highest bidder. Fortunately Gabriel does not pursue him alone; at
his side
is Christopher Keller, a British commando turned professional assassin who knows
Quinn's
murderous handiwork all too well. And though Gabriel does not realize it, he is
stalking an
old enemy—a cabal of evil that wants nothing more than to see him dead. Gabriel will
find it
necessary to oblige them, for when a man is out for vengeance, death has its
distinct
advantages. . . .
A masterful, intensely suspenseful novel about a reader whose
obsession with
a reclusive writer goes far too far—a book about the power of storytelling, starring
the
same trio of unlikely and winning heroes King introduced in MR. MERCEDES.
“Wake up, genius.” So begins King’s instantly riveting story about a vengeful
reader. The
genius is John Rothstein, an iconic author who created a famous character, Jimmy
Gold, but
who hasn’t published a book for decades. Morris Bellamy is livid, not just because
Rothstein
has stopped providing books, but because the nonconformist Jimmy Gold has sold out
for a
career in advertising. Morris kills Rothstein and empties his safe of cash, yes, but
the
real treasure is a trove of notebooks containing at least one more Gold novel.
Morris hides the money and the notebooks, and then he is locked away for another
crime.
Decades later, a boy named Pete Saubers finds the treasure, and now it is Pete and
his
family that Bill Hodges, Holly Gibney, and Jerome Robinson must rescue from the
ever-more
deranged and vengeful Morris when he’s released from prison after thirty-five years.
Not since Misery has King played with the notion of a reader whose obsession with a
writer
gets dangerous. Finders Keepers is spectacular, heart- pounding suspense, but it is
also
King writing about how literature shapes a life—for good, for bad, forever.
Cedar Ridge, Colorado, is famous for crisp mountain air, clear blue skies, and pine-
scented
breezes. And it's the last place Lily Danville wants to be. But she needs a job, and
there's
an opening at the hottest resort in her hometown. What has her concerned is the
other hot
property in Cedar Ridge: Aidan Kincaid-firefighter, rescue worker, and heartbreaker.
She
never could resist that devastating smile . . .
The Kincaid brothers are as rough and rugged as the Rocky Mountains they call home.
Aidan
has always done things his own way, by his own rules. And never has he regretted
anything
more than letting Lily walk out of his life ten years ago. If anyone has ever been
in need
of rescuing, she has. What she needs more than anything are long hikes, slow dances,
and
sizzling kisses. But that can only happen if he can get her to give Cedar Ridge-and
this bad
boy-a second chance . .
New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery creates the small-
town destination for romance in charming Fool's Gold, California—where a loner
cowboy finds
the one woman who can capture his heart.
After Phoebe Kitzke's kind heart gets her suspended from her job in LA, she swears
off doing
favors—until her best friend begs for help on the family ranch in Fool's Gold.
Unfortunately, sexy cowboy Zane Nicholson isn't exactly thrilled by the city girl's
arrival.
Thanks to his brother's latest scheme, Zane has been roped into taking tourists on a
cattle
drive. What Phoebe knows about ranching wouldn't fill his hat, but her laughter is
so
captivating that even his animals fall for her. One slip of his legendary control
leads to a
passionate kiss that convinces him she's exactly the kind of woman a single-minded
loner
needs to avoid.
In his arms, Phoebe discovers she's a country girl at heart. Yet no matter how much
the
small town feels like home, she can't stay unless Zane loves her, too-but is this
cowboy
interested in forever?
