As Dart delves deeper, he uncovers a conspiracy that spans decades. Alliances blur, enemies become allies, and the line between reality and illusion fades. With time running out, Dart must confront the ghosts of his past and a future controlled by machines.

The Show Must Go On is a gripping techno-thriller that explores the lengths to which nations will go to maintain power and the human cost of secrets buried deep. Perfect for fans of espionage, artificial intelligence dilemmas, and high-stakes political intrigue.

The Dollhouse

A dark psychological thriller for fans of Pretty Girls and Still Missing.

Alfred collects Dolls. Not the kind found in stores—the kind that breathe. The kind that scream.

Angel and Bud never had a perfect home. Their father is in prison, and their mother barely notices them. Survival has always been up to them. But nothing could have prepared them for what Alfred has planned.

Now, they are Dolls, captives in a place where obedience means survival. Every day is a new game. A new test. A new chance to get it wrong. Recreating old family photos is just the beginning. Alfred’s sense of humor is cruel, and his punishments are deadly.

One second too late, and someone dies. One wrong move, and Alfred makes sure they never move again.

Angel isn’t strong. She isn’t brave. She’s terrified. But if she wants to survive—and save the new child Alfred has chosen—she’ll have to out-think a madman before time runs out.

Peter Baden gave up his career to search for his missing daughter, never giving up hope. He doesn’t know that she’s trapped in the Dollhouse. He doesn’t know a killer is playing with her life. And he doesn’t know that time is running out—not just for her, but for another child Alfred is about to take.

A dark, psychological thriller with relentless tension and a race against time.

For fans of Pretty Girls, Still Missing and The Chain.

“This is easily the best novel I have read all year, hands down! I have never even heard of this author before and all of a sudden kindle is telling me to read this book and I’m blown away!”

“HOLY FREAKING MOLY . This book was so damn good in a dark, disturbing, messed up, spectacular kind of way! This book is like the definition of anxiety.”

“I love books that are dark and disturbing and this one really delivered. The author was great at describing everything, to the point that you often felt like you were right there to personally witness all that went on inside of the dollhouse.”

“There is some bat shit crazy stuff going on in this book and yet it left me crying.

“Heart-stopping intensity.” —San Francisco Chronicle

“Meltzer has come up with a gem of a plot….It breezes along in high gear….[A] highly recommended suspenser.” —Chicago Tribune

In this second novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Brad Meltzer, husband and wife face off in a legal thriller that poses the most chilling question of all: How far would you go to save the one you love?

Sara Tate, a Manhattan assistant DA, is on the brink of losing her job. But then she takes a case that may be able to secure her future. Trouble is, it’s much more complicated—and deadly—than it initially appears. While forces within her own office plot against her, an outside threat takes things to another level: Win the case or her attorney husband, Jared, will die. But Jared has received threats, too. Forced to defend the opposition, he learns that, if he loses the case, Sara will be killed. With everything on the line for both of them, husband and wife battle it out—at court and at home—while maintaining the terrible secret behind their motives. Caught in a struggle of rollercoaster emotions and shocking betrayals, Jared and Sara must face the unthinkable: No matter who wins, one of them may die.

Remembering Demons

A gritty, mind-warping blend of cosmic horror and sci-fantasy noir—perfect for fans of N.K. Jemisin, Tamsyn Muir, and Brian Evenson.

THIS IS HOW THE GOD CYCLE BEGINS… AND ENDS.
WITH DARYL, who wakes with no memory in a crumbling asylum where darkness strains against the mirrors reflecting a past he cannot face.
WITH SUSAN, his therapist—whose quiet influence might be his only hope… or his undoing.
WITH WERNER, a former physicist who speaks of patterns, infinite worlds, and things best left alone.
AND WITH HUBBLE, an invisible gnome who appears when reality cracks—usually with his pet chicken.

This is his reckoning—haunted by a small girl with terrible eyes, Daryl can no longer outrun the noose of a past that will choke the life from him even as it tears him apart.

Either the world is broken, or he is.
The truth may lie just beyond the glass.
