PRESTON & CHILD return with their next Pendergast blockbuster— now in premium size!
“Preston and Child have created a terrific mix of mystery and the unexpected that will keep you reading into the late hours of the night. They promise a great read and they have delivered.” —Clive Cussler on White Fire
“[Pendergast is] one of the most memorable detectives in contemporary thrillerdom.”
—Steve Berry, author of The Lincoln Myth
In the quaint seaside village of Exmouth, Massachusetts, a terrible evil lurks. Local legend holds that during the 1692 Salem witch trials, the real witches escaped, fleeing north to Exmouth and settling deep in the surrounding salt marshes, where they continued to practice their wicked arts. Now, centuries later, Agent Pendergast and Constance Greene are investi-gating the theft of a priceless wine collection when they discover something more disturbing: a bricked-up niche in the wine cellar containing a crumbling skeleton. Then a murdered corpse turns up in the marshes with mysterious carvings as the only clue. Could these demonic symbols bear some relation to the ancient witches’ colony, long believed to be abandoned? For Pendergast and Greene, the sins of Exmouth’s grim past are about to come very much alive.

For defense attorney Mickey Haller, the clock is always running. With two ex-wives, four Lincoln Town Cars that he uses as offices, and dozens of guilty clients, he can’t afford to miss a trick. When he gets picked by a Beverly Hills rich boy arrested for assault, Mickey sees a franchise case: a nice, long, expensive trial with maximum billable hours—until it hurtles him into the last place he wants to be. Suddenly hustling, cynical Mickey Haller is confronted with pure evil and someone who may be truly innocent. Now, for a lawyer who has always gone for the easy score, getting justice means taking the deadliest risk of all.

Michelle thought she’d lost everything she cared about when she was 17, the summer her famous father finally summoned her to his ranch in Montana. There, she fell in love with Sam—the man she always dreamed of—until her father found out about their affair, fired Sam, and destroyed his family. Pregnant and heartbroken, Michelle fled to a new life in Seattle. There, she was successful and safe—safe from love, safe from hurt. Now her son is lost to her, a troubled teen on the verge of self-destruction, a boy who blames her for the absence of his father and grandfather. When Michelle’s father calls her to tell her that he will die unless she can help him, she returns to save him, even though she is terrified to face Sam again. Now, she must confront all of the secrets of the past—and find a way to heal the scars and love again.

Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don’t know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by his longing for his mother, he clings to the one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art.
As an adult, Theo moves silkily between the drawing rooms of the rich and the dusty labyrinth of an antiques store where he works. He is alienated and in love—and at the center of a narrowing, ever more dangerous circle.

Reese Crane, CEO of the infamous Crane Hotel, has a reputation for being a hard-nosed, all-business, untouchable billionaire—and it needs softening.
Merina Van Heusen will do anything to keep her parents’ funky and historic boutique hotel in business—even marry cold-as-ice but sexy-as-hell billionaire bachelor Reese Crane to do it. It’s a simple business contract—six months of “marriage,” absolute secrecy, and the Van Heusen is all hers again.
Now married and appearing together publicly, Merina has no problem putting on a show, but what she didn’t expect was to be as wildly attracted to Reese behind closed doors as he is to her.
With sparks flying and tempers flaring, they give in to their volatile attraction more than once, and Merina now finds herself faced with her worst nightmare: falling in love with her husband.

A nameless girl is the lone survivor when her village is massacred by biomancers, mystical servants of the emperor. Named after her lost village, Bleak Hope is secretly trained by a master Vinchen warrior as an instrument of vengeance.
A boy becomes an orphan on the squalid streets of New Laven and is adopted by one of the most notorious women of the criminal underworld, given the name Red, and trained as a thief and con artist.
When a ganglord named Deadface Drem strikes a bargain with the biomancers to consolidate and rule all the slums of New Laven, the worlds of Hope and Red come crashing together, and their unlikely alliance takes them further than either could have dreamed possible.
