HIDE AND SEEK
BY CHRIS CARTER
Looking for heart-pounding suspense? Chris Carter’ s Hide and Seek is a masterful, twist-heavy departure from his usual gore. It follows Sam, who adopts a new identity to escape her abusive ex-husband. After receiving a 13-year prison sentence, he leaves her with a chilling threat: he will come for her. With his power and influence, she is forced into a deadly game of hide and seek where nothing is what it seems. While lacking Carter’ s typical stomach-churning set-pieces, this standalone thriller delivers his signature sinuous plots. Stick it out to the end for a rich, surprising twist!
THE MOST DANGEROUS GAMES
BY MRBEAST AND JAMES PATTERSON

The brutal competition begins in Antarctica and rapidly moves through deadly environments like shark-infested Chilean waters and scorching deserts. There is no rescue or second chance. Soon, the harsh terrain stops being the deadliest threat and rival players turn on each other. Trust suddenly becomes a dangerous survival weapon.
THE COUNTRY ROAD MURDERS
BY JAMES PATTERSON AND MIKE LUPICA
Silas Tucker’ s promising career in the NFL is destroyed when his best friend crashes Silas’ s new Porsche, and Silas’ s career with it, on the night of his Midwest town send-off. But Silas survives, and he’ s used to tragedy: his mum died young, and his dad, the town’ s former police chief, was gunned down when Silas was a teenager, with no suspects ever found. He returns from rehab to find the community terrified: several young girls have gone missing, the town’ s schools are riddled with drugs, and the police need help. Time to step up to the plate. This book works on many levels and still manages to hold the tension.
