You have to play his game. Participation is involuntary. The only choice you have is the one he chose for you. Few need to die so the city can be reborn. Eight days, eight dead. All high-profile victims (News Anchor, Priest, Terrorist, NYPD chief, Mayor, Lawyer, Rapper, Actor) are murdered on camera after failing in the twisted games of the masked killer. Each victim played a game designed by the masked killer based on the victim’s history of wrongdoings. In this gripping tale, the vigilante boldly confronts the corrupt heart of society, dismantling it with relentless determination. Armed with technology and masked anonymity, he targets wealthy elites and politicians, sparking a frantic pursuit by NYPD detectives. Rich live in fear in their mansions, and the poor rejoice in the street because they were not the targets the first time. The masked killer is in pursuit of making the powerful feel helpless. He is snatching power from a few and distributing it among many. In the ages-long tussle of Few vs. Many, the killer has chosen the side of many. He kills few to save many. The common man sees him as a leveler and the high-class society as a killer. One man’s killer is another man’s savior. This is how much the society is divided. The common man’s rage and frustration are embodied in the masked killer. This is the killer they wished for. Detective Rick of NYPD, a force of law, won’t have his city drowning in the anarchy. He is determined to capture the killer. Killer also sees Rick as the right adversary and challenges him to capture him. As the cat-and-mouse game unfolds, New York City descends into chaos, revealing the high stakes of justice versus power.

Wish You Were Here (Instead of Me) by Frank Tayell Pdf

October 2022, eight weeks after first contact, the people of Earth are handling the news of extra-terrestrial life rather well. Sure, there’d been some petty rioting, light stockpiling, and hasty coups, but not more so than during the pandemic. In Oxfordshire, tourists flock to the exclusion zone set up around the crashed battle-station. Nearby, in the newly named RAF Space Command, Harold Godwin has settled into his new job as a liaison between the British government and the friendly alien federation, known as the Valley. Aside from giving occasional tours to visiting dignitaries, the work isn’t arduous until the search for a missing dog leads to the capture of a hostile alien mercenary. In Ireland, on the outskirts of Cork, an international conference has begun. The diplomats have been tasked with selecting twenty people to represent Earth on a ceremonial trip to Towan III. After two months of bickering, they’re still arguing over the conference’s seating arrangements. Patience among the Valley leadership is wearing thin. In the intergalactic borderlands between the Valley and the remains of the old empire, the Voytay, two fleets are in a stand-off. The Voytay have denied any involvement in the Oxfordshire Incident, but Earth is increasingly looking like the spark that will reignite the century-old conflict. The only hope for peace is to find the remaining enemy agents, both human and alien. That task falls to Sean O’Malley and Greta tol Hakon. Not long into the investigation, a link is found between the recent attack and the discovery of a spaceship on the outskirts of London in 1895, the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and a tunnel beneath the ruins of Nineveh that predates any calendar. Alien anchorites and ancient prophecies collide, on Earth and in the furthest corners of the galaxy, as the race to stop the war continues.

The Killer Whale Who Changed the World by Mark Leiren-Young Pdf

The fascinating and heartbreaking account of the first publicly exhibited captive killer whale — a story that forever changed the way we see orcas and sparked the movement to save them Killer whales had always been seen as bloodthirsty sea monsters. That all changed when a young killer whale was captured off the west coast of North America and displayed to the public in 1964. Moby Doll — as the whale became known — was an instant celebrity, drawing 20,000 visitors on the one and only day he was exhibited. He died within a few months, but his famous gentleness sparked a worldwide crusade that transformed how people understood and appreciated orcas. Because of Moby Doll, we stopped fearing “killers” and grew to love and respect “orcas.”

Wish You Were Here by John Allore,Patricia Pearson Pdf

NATIONAL BESTSELLER As compelling as Michelle McNamara's I'll Be Gone in the Dark or James Ellroy's My Dark Places, this is the story of a brother's lifelong determination to find the truth about his sister's death, a police force that was ignoring the cases of missing and murdered women, and, to the surprise of everyone involved, a previously undiscovered serial killer. In the fall of 1978 teenager Theresa Allore went missing near Sherbrooke, Quebec. She wasn't seen again until the spring thaw revealed her body in a creek only a few kilometers away. Shrugging off her death as a result of 1970s drug culture, police didn't investigate. Patricia Pearson started dating Theresa's brother John during the aftermath of Theresa's death. Though the two teens would go their separate ways, the family's grief, obsession with justice and desire for the truth never left Patricia. Little did she know, the shockwaves of Theresa's death would return to her life repeatedly over the next forty years. In 2001, John had just moved to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, with his wife and young children, when the cops came to the door. They had determined that a young girl had been murdered and buried in the basement. John wondered: If these cops could look for this young girl, why had nobody even tried to find out what happened to Theresa? Unable to rest without closure, he reached out to Patricia, by now an accomplished crime journalist and author, and together they found answers far bigger and more alarming than they could have imagined--and a legacy of violence that refused to end.

Shadows Deceive by S.C. Wynne Pdf

Gay Mystery If I could have put off meeting Thompson’s family forever, I would have. But he made it crystal clear it was important to him, and I got the feeling if I blew it off again, I’d lose him. So, like a good boyfriend, I accompanied him to the rustic city of Big Bear, hoping for the best. I expected awkward moments, and funny looks from his family. What I didn’t see coming was having to hang out with his perfect ex-lover, Alexander, and for dead bodies to start piling up. Working and living together, Thompson and I formed a bond I didn’t think could be broken. But when he starts doubting my abilities, and pulling away, simply because he doesn’t like what I’m saying, I start to realize maybe we were never as tight as I’d thought. Thompson needs to decide if he wants to protect the past, more than he wants to join me in the future. He thinks I’m just scared of commitment, and so I’m causing trouble. But the reality is, Thompson is the person with one foot out the door. This 50,000+ MM romance Mystery is the THIRD book in my Psychic Detective Mysteries Series. You will want to read book one Shadow's Edge and book two Shadow's Return first for optimal enjoyment.

The Killer's Wife by Bill Floyd Pdf

Six years after her courageous testimony helped put her husband on death row for a string of gruesome murders, Leigh Wren has almost succeeded in putting her past to rest. She has moved from the West Coast to North Carolina with her young son, adopting a new name and a new life. But the world that she has created for herself is shattered when the father of one of her ex-husband's victims begins stalking her, then confronts her late one night. In the days that follow, he exposes Leigh, in newspapers and on television, to a startled North Carolina community. And just as her marriage to Randall Mosley, a man who became known to the world as a deviant serial killer, is brought back to light, a more deadly game of cat and mouse ensues. A new killer has emerged, one whose methods are frighteningly similar to those used by Mosley, who is awaiting execution thousands of miles away. Leigh and her son appear to be in the assailant's scope, and it becomes clear that he is more than a copycat killer—his targets are all tied to Leigh's former life. With the clock ticking down and the victims of a new killer mounting, Leigh is forced to probe the darkest corridors of her past to protect her life and her son's. She must also confront her own feelings of responsibility: Leigh has always professed her ignorance, but how complicit was she in her husband's horrific murder spree, as it was taking place? From a major new voice in suspense, The Killer's Wife is a story driven by psychological insight and harrowing revelations, asking how well you can ever really know the person sleeping beside you.
