JAMES PATTERSON is back wih a chilling story of murder and revenge— in premium size!

“James Patterson knows how to sell thrills and suspense in clear, unwavering prose.” —People

“Patterson’s novels are sleek entertainment machines, the Porsches of commercial fiction, expertly engineered and lightning fast.”

—Publishers Weekly

“The prolific Patterson seems unstoppable.” —USA Today

Some secrets won’t stay buried.No. 7 Ocean Drive is a gorgeous beachfront estate in the Hamptons, where money and privi-lege know no bounds. But its beautiful gothic exterior hides a horrific past: it was the scene of a series of depraved killings that have never been solved. Rumored to be cursed, it’s known as the Murder House, and locals keep their distance. When a Hollywood power broker and his mistress are found dead in the abandoned house, the gruesome crime scene rivals anything Detective Jenna Murphy experienced in Manhattan. As more bodies surface, she must risk her own life to expose the truth—before the Murder House claims another victim.

PRESTON AND CHILD return with the fourth book in their unforgettable Gideon Crew series!

“The always sensational duo is back with a work that is as exciting and intriguing as it is fast-paced, leaving readers wanting more.” —Suspense Magazine

“The eponymous Gideon Crew would be equally comfortable smack in a Ludlum tempest or striding onto the set of the Ocean’s Eleven franchise.” —David Baldacci on Gideon’s Sword

Deep on the ocean floor, everyone is prey.Five years ago, there was an expedition to recover the largest meteorite ever discovered from a remote island off the coast of South America. But it ended in disaster when the cargo ship Rolvaag foundered in a vicious storm in the Antarctic waters and sank, carrying its crew and precious cargo to the ocean floor. But this meteorite is no mere rock. It’s a complex organism from the deep reaches of space—and it’s growing. If it is not destroyed, Earth is doomed. There is only one hope left: Gideon Crew.

On the eve of Russian General Boris Karpov’s wedding, Jason Bourne receives an enigmatic message from his old friend and fellow spymaster. In Moscow, what should be a joyous occasion turns bloody and lethal. Now Bourne is the only one who can decipher Karpov’s cryptogram. He discovers that Karpov was about to warn him of a crippling global disaster. The trail leads Bourne to Cairo and the doorstep of Ivan Borz, the elusive international arms dealer infamous for hiding behind a never-ending series of false identities. In war-torn Syria and then Cyprus, Bourne moves ever closer to discovering the astonishing truth, and ever closer to his own death. The clock is ticking, and Bourne has less than four days to solve Karpov’s riddle and hunt down Borz—if he hopes to prevent a cataclysmic international war.

Violet Parry is living the quintessential life of luxury in the Hollywood Hills with David, her rock-and-roll manager husband, and her darling toddler, Dot. She has the perfect life, except that she’s deeply unhappy. David expects the world of Violet but gives little of himself in return. When she meets Teddy, a roguish, small-time bass player, Violet comes alive. Soon she’s risking everything for the chance to find herself again. Also in the picture are David’s hilariously high-strung sister, Sally, on the prowl for a successful husband, and Jeremy, the ESPN sportscaster savant who falls into her trap. For all their recklessness, Violet and Sally will discover that David and Jeremy have a few surprises of their own. THIS ONE IS MINE is a compassionate and wickedly funny satire about our need for more—and the often disastrous choices we make in the name of happiness.

Adrienne Willis has been divorced for three years, abandoned by her husband for a younger woman. The trials of raising her teenage children and caring for her sick father have worn her down, so, in hopes of respite, she’s gone to the coastal village of Rodanthe, North Carolina, to tend the local inn for the weekend. With a major storm brewing, the time away doesn’t look promising—until a guest named Paul Flanner arrives. Paul is a successful surgeon, but in the previous six months his life has unraveled into something he doesn’t recognize. Estranged from his son and recently divorced, he’s sold his practice and home and has journeyed to this isolated town in hopes of closing a painful chapter in his past. But as the storm brews, what begins between Adrienne and Paul over the weekend will resonate throughout the rest of their lives, intertwining past and future, love and loss.

GRACE BURROWES debuts her new Regency series!

Hamish MacHugh has a fearsome reputation—and rightfully so. No one was fiercer on the battlefield. But when he unexpectedly inherits the title Duke of Murdoch, the thought of a Season among Polite Society in London is more terrifying than anything he had to endure during war. Yet he’ll do whatever it takes to ensure his sisters’ happiness, even if it means learning to waltz. Especially if said waltzing allows him to hold close Lady Megan Windham, the one respite amid all the dark rumors swirling around “the savage Scot.” She’s not the least bit intimidated by him, and yet it’s clear something haunts her. For her, Hamish is willing to play the game. For her, he’ll face down any foe. And for her, he just might lose his heart.
