'A beautifully constructed tale that grows scarier by the page' Kirkus Reviews

Elise Andioli had the perfect life: She was managing a popular movie theatre, engaged to be married and surrounded by friends. But her world was turned upside down when a terrorist bomb causes her to lose her voice, sight and flancd as well as making her quadriplegic.
At first Elise is trapped by her suffering, but she is intrigued when an odd little girl called Virginie befriends her outside the local supermarket. The girl seems to have strange knowledge of a series of grisly murders that have been haunting the town, and she blames 'Death from the Woods' for snatching a missing boy called Michael. Only hours later, his death is confirmed on the local news. Shortly after, Virginie informs Elise that she is the next target.
Elise learns more and more about the murders from overhearing conversations around her. But how will she make them understand she is next? For Elise, her fight to recover soon becomes a fight to survive as she is targeted by the mystery killer.

Brigitte Aubert's use of the first person not only chills the reader but can be incredibly amusing. Elise's remarkable sense of humour stops you from being overcome with sympathy, but evokes a sort of pride at the way she can poke fun at her condition without depressing. Aubert's writing is easy to follow and grabs the reader's imagination with her amazing use of imagery. Brigitte is extremely popular in France and is widely considered as one of the most talented thriller writers of her time. The novels she published in France have all soared to fame, and it is hoped that her UK debut of Death from the Woods will be as successful.

Tessa Quayle has been horribly murdered on the shores of Lake Turkana in Northern Kenya, the birthplace of mankind. Her putative African lover, a doctor with one of the aid agencies, has disappeared. Her husband, Justin, a career diplomat and amateur gardener at the British High Commission in Nairobi, sets out on a personal odyssey in pursuit of the killers and their motive. His quest takes him to the Foreign Office in London, across Europe and Canada and back to Africa, to the depths of South Sudan, and finally to the very spot where Tessa died. On his way Justin meets terror, violence, laughter, conspiracy and knowledge. But his greatest discovery is the woman he barely had time to love.

Nobody wants to believe that Grace Peltier committed suicide: not Curtis, her father; not former state senator Jack Mercier; and not private detective Charlie `Bird' Parker, who has been hired to investigate the circumstances of her death.
But when a mass grave in northern Maine reveals the final resting place of the Aroostook Baptists, a religious community that disappeared almost forty years earlier, Parker realises that their deaths and the violent passing of Grace Peltier are part of the same mystery, one that has its roots in her family history and in the origins of the shadowy organisation known as the Fellowship.
For before she died, Grace Peltier stole something from the Fellowship, a relic capable of linking it to decades of violence and the slaughter of the Aroostook Baptists, and now someone has been sent to recover it. Lied to, intimidated and haunted by visions of a small, stray boy, Parker's search for the truth behind Grace's death draws him into a series of increasingly violent confrontations with the Fellowship's enforcer, the demonic arachnophile known as Mr Pudd.
Aided and abetted by the genial killers Angel and Louis, Parker must descend into the depths of a honeycomb world populated by dark angels and lost souls, a world where the ghosts of the dead wait for justice and the unwary are prey for the worst kind of creatures.

The Smallwoods are just a middle-class, small-town, regular South Carolina family. But as the Smallwood siblings gather at their dying mother's bedside, they are shocked to discover someone has tampered with her medication. And Georgie Smallwood begins to think the unthinkable - there may be a killer in the family, with a familiar face and unfinished business just to hand. And so begins a lethal dance of musical chairs that will keep the Smallwoods scrambling to see who, if any, are left standing.

Suspenseful, frightening, sometimes howlingly funny, Dreamcatcher is a powerful masterpiece from Stephen King, his first full-length novel in three years.

In Derry, Maine (scene of It and Insomnia) four young boys once stood together and did a brave thing. Something that changed them in ways they hardly understand. A quarter-century later, the boys are men who have gone their separate ways. Though they still get together once a year, to go hunting in the north woods of Maine. But this time a man comes stumbling into their camp, lost, disoriented and muttering about lights in the sky. Before long, these old friends will be plunged into the most remarkable events of their lives as they struggle with a terrible creature from another world. Their only chance of survival is locked in their past... and in the boy they rescued all those years ago.
