Barcelona, 1945: A city slowly heals in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, and Daniel, an antiquarian book dealer's son who mourns the loss of his mother, finds solace in a mysterious book entitled The Shadow of the Wind, by one Julián Carax. But when he sets out to find the author's other works, he makes a shocking discovery: someone has been systematically destroying every copy of every book Carax has written. In fact, Daniel may have the last of Carax's books in existence.

Flap Tucker thinks he's got it all worked out. A meditating private eye with curious cosmic talents, Flap prides himself on his ability to step back and put two and two together. But when threatening notes start to turn up at his dear friend Dalliance Oglethorpe's door — along with grisly packages promising worse to come — Flap suddenly finds himself caught up in a personal case he can't step back from. And with Dally acting strangely, Flap soon realizes there is a lot to this world he doesn't know. There's also a lot he needs to find out about himself and the woman he thought he knew best.

A body shows up in the middle of the night and moments later, a man is gunned down right outside the door. Dally assumes Flap has a hand in the murder. And Flap has equal reason to suspect Dally herself. In a frantic quest to resolve their strained relationship, Flap delves wildly into their past in which he recovers old flames, finds new clients and sees through the worst of disguises.

If he and Dally are to make it through the long, dark night, Flap must find the real killer, the real motive, and the real truth behind Dally's lost years. Will he be able to work it out in time before the deadly past catches up with them?

Three o'clock in the morning is no time for a woman to run out into the night alone, but when the dogs in her animal shelter send up a warning, that's just what Taylor Verone does. The thing she sees near the cemetery is like nothing she's ever seen before or ever wants to see again. Her only option is to call on Edson Darby-Deaver, paranormal investigator, always on call, day or night, no matter what kind of horror rises out of the mists. Together they investigate a rash of sightings, while the shopkeepers of downtown Tropical Breeze prepare to capitalize on the alien frenzy while it lasts. Edson does what he can, but within days he's opening ParaCon, the country's largest gathering of psychics, skeptics and fringe scientists.

Hoping that someone at the conference can help, Taylor attends, and what she finds is beyond her expectations: murder — and this time, her lover Michael just may be involved.

In 1914, intrepid American explorer Hiram Bingham III discovers the lost Inca citadel of Macchu Picchu, and in doing so starts a race to discover one of the greatest secrets mankind has ever known …

Present day: Former US Marine and investigative journalist Ethan Warner has shunned civilization after five investigations with the Defense Intelligence Agency. Living alone in the wilderness, he is tracked down by Dr Lucy Morgan, a scientist who once found the seven thousand year-old remains of an extra-terrestrial species entombed deep in the deserts of Israel. She brings ominous news: there are more remains being found, and there are people willing to kill to obtain them.

Hurled into a global conspiracy that will take them from the deep waters of the East China Sea to the sweltering jungles of Cambodia, from the deserts of Egypt to the soaring heights of the Andes mountains, Ethan and Lucy must locate and excavate the remains of ancient people whose DNA carries both a message and a cure for a disease born of a species not of this Earth, and in doing so save the life of one young child and change the course of human history …

If your name translates to "pretty nice" in French, you've probably gotten used to teasing. It doesn't prepare you to find out that your soon-to-be-ex-husband has a gambling problem, raided your assets, and embezzled from his bank. Jolie Gentil moves to Great Aunt Madge's Jersey shore B&B, taking her cat Jazz, and joining Madge's pair of prune-eating dogs. She tells herself it's not a retreat, just a smart change. Jolie rekindles friendships, dodges a low-level wise guy, and tries to figure out her new life. She hasn't seen her high school classmates in ten years, and they weren't all buds. Why care if a couple of them are murder suspects? Because finding a dead body when you're appraising a house grabs your attention.

Jolie balances fear of a smart-mouth wise guy with a belief that her friends are innocent. Her murder suspects include one suspect's ex-wife and beneficiaries of the dead woman's will. Jolie keeps searching, but will someone's plans leave her alive to find the truth?

Famed crime solver Dr. Gideon Fell attends a housewarming party in the English countryside, but a ghost spoils the fun …

The house is called Longwood, and its history is wet with blood. It is closed up for good in 1920, when a massive chandelier falls, crushing an eighty-year-old butler. Oddly enough, the old chandelier was sturdy, and there was no way it could have fallen unless the butler leapt and swung on it. Was he mad? Suicidal? Or was he being pursued by something from beyond the grave?

Seventeen years later, Longwood is purchased by Martin Clarke, a rakish young man with a taste for the supernatural. He invites his friends for a paranormal housewarming, but it is not long before the festivities turn gruesome. Chairs fly, guns fire on their own, and a mysterious fire threatens to engulf the whole mansion in flames. Clarke and his guests came for a ghost hunt — but could it be that the ghost is hunting them?
