Trust No One
by James Rollins
The ritualistic murder of a professor at the University of Exeter casts suspicion on his own postgraduate students—scholars of witchcraft, folklore, and spiritualism. Chief among them is Sharyn Karr, an American student entrusted, moments before his death, with a centuries-old encrypted diary attributed to Comte de Saint-Germain—and a chilling warning: trust no one.
Reluctantly teaming up with cryptography prodigy Duncan Maxwell, sixteenth in line to the British throne, Sharyn uncovers the diary’s first line: “Herein lies the secret to my immortality.” Soon they’re fleeing a ruthless cabal and law enforcement alike, racing from the Tower of London to continental strongholds. What they discover could upend history—and redefine the limits of life itself.

The Devil's Bible
by Steve Berry

Teaming with Cassiopeia Vitt, Cotton must rescue the princess, secure the manuscript, and untangle a web of shifting loyalties. Allies turn hostile, enemies become uneasy partners, and ghosts from Cotton’s past resurface.
From Stockholm’s waterways to the Baltic skies and a legendary Swedish warship, the stakes escalate toward a revelation that will change everything.

The Asset
by Mike Lawson
When a homeless veteran is killed in a late-night hit-and-run outside Washington, D.C., the tragedy barely registers. But days later, former Speaker of the House John Mahoney receives explosive intelligence from Diane Lake, a former CIA operative turned political researcher: Lydia Chang, wife of one of Mahoney’s fiercest rivals, may be operating as a covert Chinese agent.
Unwilling to alert the FBI too soon, Mahoney turns to his trusted fixer, Joe DeMarco. As DeMarco digs deeper, he uncovers a web of secret meetings, hidden agendas, and shifting loyalties. The deeper he goes, the clearer it becomes that the alleged espionage, Diane’s motives, and the seemingly random hit-and-run are all connected—and far more dangerous than anyone imagined.
