Reacher has no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there. One morning, he ends up in a town near Pleasantville, Tennessee. But there’s nothing pleasant about the place. In broad daylight Reacher spots a hapless soul walking into an ambush.
“It was four against one” so Reacher intervenes, with his own trademark brand of conflict resolution. The man he saves is Rusty Rutherford, an unassuming IT manager, recently fired after a cyberattack locked up the town’s data, records, information and secrets. Rutherford wants to stay put, look innocent, and clear his name. Reacher is intrigued because there’s more to the story.
The bad guys who jumped Rutherford are part of something serious and deadly, involving a conspiracy, a coverup, and murder – all centered around a mousy little guy in a coffee-stained shirt who has no idea what he’s up against. Rule one: if you don’t know the trouble you’re in, keep Reacher by your side. James Patterson’s The Sentinel is the newest Jack Reacher book.
Things are about to get serious for Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only professional wizard. However, Harry has faced terrible odds before. He has a long history of fighting enemies above his weight class, the Red Court of vampires, the fallen angels of the Order of the Blackened Denarius, and the Outsiders.
But this time it’s different. A being more powerful and dangerous on an order of magnitude beyond what the world has seen in a millennium is coming, and she’s bringing an army.
The Last Titan has declared war on the city of Chicago, and has come to conquer humanity, obliterating any who stand in her way. Harry’s mission is simple but impossible: Save the city by killing a Titan. The attempt will change Harry’s life, Chicago, and the mortal world forever. Battle Ground is the next entry in the Dresden Files, by Jim Butcher.
All Beth has to do is drive her son to his soccer game, watch him play, and then return home. Just because she knows her ex-best friend lives near the field, that doesn’t mean she has to drive past her house and try to catch a glimpse of her.
Why would Beth do that and risk dredging up painful memories? She hasn’t seen Flora for twelve years. She doesn’t want to see her today – or ever again – but she can’t resist. She parks outside the open gates of Newnham House, watches from across the road as Flora arrives and calls to her children Thomas and Emily to get out of the car.
Except . . . there’s something terribly wrong. Flora looks the same, only older. There’s something peculiar about the children. Twelve years ago, Thomas and Emily were five and three years old.
Today, they look precisely as they did then. They are Thomas and Emily without a doubt, but they haven’t changed at all. They are no taller, no older. Why haven’t they grown? How is it possible that they haven’t grown up? Perfect Little Children is a psychological suspense thriller by Sophie Hannah.
