But when he’s sent to investigate the disappearance of Lionel Maudling, the owner of a grand country house whose heir may be accused for his death, he encounters a home that will lead him to nightmares he could have never imagined. Maudling’s estate houses countless books of every sort—histories, dramas, scientific treatises. But none seems to offer Soter any hint to Maudling’s whereabouts, until he’s led to an arcane London bookseller where the reclusive scholar made his last purchase. What Soter finds at the end of a twisted maze of clues is a book like no other, with a legacy that will put everything he knows in danger… An inventive horror novella from internationally bestselling author John Connolly, this is a story of madness, of obsession, and of books’ power to change the world.

The mutilated body provides little in the way of clues - and the college authorities are keen to avoid a scandal - but for Sara and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, things don't add up. Two more suspicious suicides follow, and a young woman is brutally attacked. For Sara, the violence strikes far too close to home. And as Jeffrey pursues the sadistic killer, he discovers that ex-police detective Lena Adams, now a security guard on campus, may be in possession of crucial information. But, bruised and angered by her expulsion from the force, Lena seems to be barely capable of protecting herself, let alone saving the next victim...

  • Karin Slaughter Has Written Two Thrillers Based on the Adventures of Pediatrician and Part-Time Medical Examiner Sara Linton
    Karin Slaughter has written two thrillers based on the adventures of pediatrician and part-time medical examiner Sara Linton. A FAINT COLD FEAR is the third and latest installment in the series, which is set in Grant County, Georgia. In this interview conducted by Bookreporter.com reviewer Bethanne Kelly Patrick, Slaughter talks about the characters in her novels and the relationships among them, her writing routine, and news about a exciting new work of crime fiction due out in May 2004. BRC: Your fictional terrain, Grant County, is based on your real-life turf in Georgia. What are the challenges you've faced in respecting your friends and neighbors while creating this novel? KS: I think that when you're talking about a small town, be it in the American South or Southern Czechoslovakia, you're going to have roughly the same cast of background characters. There's always going to be the town slut, the gossip, the bad families and the good. So, I felt pretty comfortable putting these people into my stories. What you read in my books is stuff I noticed when I was a kid. On the weekends, my dad would take me with him to the hardware store and I'd sit around and listen to the old guys talk. Those old guys are at every hardware store in America. What I hope to bring to these folks is an appreciation for their lives. I also want to honor the South; that's probably the most important thing for me. I don't know when it became unfashionable to be from the South, but I'm extremely proud to be from the same state that gave the world Margaret Mitchell and Flannery O'Connor.

  • Karin Slaughter's Latest Novel, UNDONE, Features Characters from Both Her Grant County and Will Trent/Atlanta Series Who Come Together to Solve a Grisly Murder
    Karin Slaughter's latest novel, UNDONE, features characters from both her Grant County and Will Trent/Atlanta series who come together to solve a grisly murder. In this interview with Bookreporter.com's Joe Hartlaub, Slaughter describes the hardest aspect of this "cross-pollination" and examines the complex relationships shared by the main characters. She also discusses the shocking statistics she uncovered while researching crimes committed against women in the US, reveals her ultimate goal in writing crime fiction, and shares details about her next book, tentatively titled BROKEN. Bookreporter.com: UNDONE, your latest novel, is noteworthy for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that it brings together Dr. Sara Linton from your Grant County series with GBI agents Will Trent and Faith Mitchell from TRIPTYCH and FRACTURED. Your Grant County series had been going for a while when you introduced Trent and Mitchell. Have you been planning to cross-pollinate the two series since you created Trent and Mitchell, or was this an idea that came to you relatively recently? Karin Slaughter: I knew when I was writing INDELIBLE, my fourth Grant County novel, that something big was coming --- a change that would completely shake up the series. At that point, I was thinking about the plot of TRIPTYCH, my first stand-alone. I was trying to get inside Will Trent’s head and figure out what makes him tick, and it occurred to me that I could have him show up in INDELIBLE, but I wasn’t quite ready to put him in that world.

  • Disability, Literature, Genre: Representation and Affect in Contemporary Fiction REPRESENTATIONS: H E a LT H , DI SA BI L I T Y, CULTURE and SOCIETY
    Disability, Literature, Genre: Representation and Affect in Contemporary Fiction REPRESENTATIONS: H E A LT H , DI SA BI L I T Y, CULTURE AND SOCIETY Series Editor Stuart Murray, University of Leeds Robert McRuer, George Washington University This series provides a ground-breaking and innovative selection of titles that showcase the newest interdisciplinary research on the cultural representations of health and disability in the contemporary social world. Bringing together both subjects and working methods from literary studies, film and cultural studies, medicine and sociology, ‘Representations’ is scholarly and accessible, addressed to researchers across a number of academic disciplines, and prac- titioners and members of the public with interests in issues of public health. The key term in the series will be representations. Public interest in ques- tions of health and disability has never been stronger, and as a consequence cultural forms across a range of media currently produce a never-ending stream of narratives and images that both reflect this interest and generate its forms. The crucial value of the series is that it brings the skilled study of cultural narratives and images to bear on such contemporary medical concerns. It offers and responds to new research paradigms that advance understanding at a scholarly level of the interaction between medicine, culture and society; it also has a strong commitment to public concerns surrounding such issues, and maintains a tone and point of address that seek to engage a general audience.

  • Die Schuld Des Blutes Buch
    MARK BILLINGHAM Die Schuld des Blutes Buch Eigentlich sieht es wie ein ganz normaler Mordfall aus – eine Frau wird in ihrer Londoner Wohnung tot aufgefunden. Doch dann fin- det sich der Fetzen eines Röntgenbildes in der geballten Faust der Leiche. Detective Inspector Tom Thorne ermittelt und findet bald heraus, dass die Mutter des Opfers ebenfalls ermordet wurde. De- ren Mord liegt allerdings bereits fünfzehn Jahre zurück. Sie war eines der Opfer des berüchtigten Serienkillers Raymond Garvey. Die Jagd nach Garvey war eine der größten in der Geschichte der Met und endete erst, nachdem sieben Frauen ihren Tod gefunden hatten. Inzwischen ist Garvey allerdings ebenfalls tot, gestorben an einem Hirntumor. Und trotzdem scheint der Mörder von da- mals etwas mit den Morden von heute zu tun zu haben. Weitere Leichen werden gefunden, und jedes Mal findet sich ein weiteres Stück des Röntgenbildes. Thorne fügt das makabre Puzzle zusam- men, bis er das grausame Bild erkennt … Autor Mark Billingham, geboren in Birmingham, ist als Autor von Dreh- büchern und TV-Serien äußerst erfolgreich und wurde bereits mit dem »Royal Television Award« ausgezeichnet. Die Krimi-Serie um den eigenwilligen Detective Inspector Tom Thorne ist inter- national ein großer Erfolg. Neben dem BCA-Award, dem Theaks- ton’s Award für den besten Krimi des Jahres und Nominierungen für den Gold Dagger wurde die Serie um Tom Thorne mit dem Sherlock Award für die beste Detektivfigur im britischen Krimi- nalroman ausgezeichnet. Sie wird außerdem derzeit von der BBC für das englische Fernsehen verfilmt. Mark Billingham lebt mit seiner Frau und seinen zwei Kindern in London.

    Harper UK Adult ­ Fall 2014 Running Wild J. G. Ballard, Adam Phillips Summary A high­security luxury housing estate in the Thames Valley is the setting for a disturbing outbreak of violence in this compelling novella from the acclaimed author of 'Cocaine Nights' and 'Super­Cannes'. Pangbourne Village housing estate is exclusive, expensive and protected from the outside world by the very latest in security systems. It should be the perfect place to bring up a child. So why, in the space of ten minutes early one morning, were the thirty­two adult residents brutally murdered, and all thirteen children abducted? No kidnapper has ever come forward, and the police are mystified. It is only when psychiatrist Richard Greville is called in that the truth behind the massacre gradually becomes clear… Contributor Bio J. G. Ballard was born in 1930 in Shanghai, where his father was a businessman. After internment in a civilian prison camp, he and his family returned to England in 1946. He published his first novel, The Drowned World, in 1961.
