Zombies, zombies, zombies! How does it feel to be one of the walking dead? Hunted? Not free? Never allowed to live the life you choose? Charlie Dunlap, newly infected with the zombie virus, fears he is about to find out. Charlie doesn’t want to become one of the mindless corpses at Norwood High School, where his few friends include the zombified Emma Fletcher. In this post-apocalyptic Armageddon, undead hordes are part of the horror of daily life. Just as Charlie is losing hope, though, a mysterious government agent appears at the door, raising questions about the boy’s late mother. How was the vanished scientist connected to the origin of the virus? Why was this terrible plague unleashed on the world? And who is now targeting zombies for persecution? Charlie, recruited to aid in the investigation, faces each new adventure with a dose of gallows humor and fading hope for a cure. But Charlie knows there’s more than his own fate on the line. At stake is the power to control the whole human race. Will Charlie survive? Who can he trust? In a world at war with the living dead, it’s not always easy to tell who the real monsters are. From author Geoff Camphire comes this high-flying, pulse-pounding zombie novel series, a new kind of dystopian science fiction. “CHARLIE DEAD and the So-Called Zombie Apocalypse” is Book 1 of the acclaimed CHARLIE DEAD series. PRAISE FOR ‘CHARLIE DEAD’: ‘I only put it down, temporarily, when absolutely forced to. I’m looking forward to the next installments!’ – Scott Leonard ‘A great read! Geoff Camphire puts a unique spin on the genre with fascinating characters – both of the living and zombie kind. He’s a great storyteller with writing and a plot that keeps you hooked.’ – Mary Tamberrino ‘I am fifteen. I really liked the books. I am ruthless when it comes to reviewing books and movies on my favorite subject. This more than held my interest, and that is no easy feat… I will pass the word on to my friends.’ – L. Hartley ‘In the first of Geoff Camphire’s CHARLIE DEAD young-adult zombie-lit series, life returns to a new kind of normal in a post-apocalyptic world… Camphire’s writing is crisp, and the plot and pacing are fresh and focused… I’m hungry for more!’ – Kevin S. ‘Irresistible. The story flows, the characters are vibrant, and the prose is witty!’ – Sarah ‘Never miss a ‘Walking Dead’ show? Here is the book to tide you over during those long breaks. Camphire pulls you in like the master of ghoul Stephen King and never lets you go.’ – Paula Kay ‘Light-hearted and creepy all at the same time, CHARLIE DEAD weaves through a world where zombies are a way of life, for the living and the non-living. Forget prom dates and pimples, Charlie and his friends have a zombie apocalypse to grow into.’ – Michael T. Gabriele ‘It’s as wonderfully fresh and different from any zombie literature as ‘Shaun of the Dead’ is from any zombie film!’ – T. Riordan ‘Attention YA Librarians: Geoff Camphire has written a YA-Lit book with chops. The main character, Charlie, is nicely ‘fleshed out’ as a teen with both smarts and doubts… reflective, yet quick-acting when needed. The overall scenario in which the teen finds himself is unenviable – infected with a zombie virus, and unsure of who his true allies are. The portrayals of friendships are well-crafted, and the adventures well-paced. Along side the adventures, Camphire interweaves some political and cultural themes within this new zombie world, ranging from the subtle to the profound to the laugh-out-loud-funny. I can see this being a great book-discussion book.’ – Kathryn

In Scarpetta, Patricia Cornwell has a character as strong as any in popular fiction” —Wall Street Journal
New York Times bestselling author Patricia Cornwell delivers the newest engrossing thriller in her high-stakes series starring medical examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta.
Depraved Heart: “Void of social duty and fatally bent on mischief.”
—Mayes v. People, 806 III. 306 (1883)
Dr. Kay Scarpetta is working a suspicious death scene in Cambridge, Massachusetts when an emergency alert sounds on her phone. A video link lands in her text messages and seems to be from her computer genius niece Lucy. But how can it be? It’s clearly a surveillance film of Lucy taken almost twenty years ago.
As Scarpetta watches she begins to learn frightening secrets about her niece, whom she has loved and raised like a daughter. That film clip and then others sent soon after raise dangerous legal implications that increasingly isolate Scarpetta and leave her confused, worried, and not knowing where to turn. She doesn’t know whom she can tell—not her FBI husband Benton Wesley or her investigative partner Pete Marino. Not even Lucy.
In this new novel, Cornwell launches these unforgettable characters on an intensely psychological odyssey that includes the mysterious death of a Hollywood mogul’s daughter, aircraft wreckage on the bottom of the sea in the Bermuda Triangle, a grisly gift left in the back of a crime scene truck, and videos from the past that threaten to destroy Scarpetta’s entire world and everyone she loves. The diabolical presence behind what unfolds seems obvious—but strangely, not to the FBI. Certainly that’s the message they send when they raid Lucy’s estate and begin building a case that could send her to prison for the rest of her life.
In the latest novel in her bestselling series featuring chief medical examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta, Cornwell will captivate readers with the shocking twists, high-wire tension, and cutting-edge forensic detail that she is famous for, proving yet again why she’s the world’s #1 bestselling crime writer.
