From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The 6:20 Man comes a twisting psychological thriller in which two women—one a former detective, the other a dangerous con artist—go head-to-head in an electrifying game of cat and mouse. Mickey Gibson, single mother and former detective, leads a hectic life similar to that of many moms: juggling the demands of her two small children with the tasks of her job working remotely for ProEye, a global investigation company that hunts down wealthy tax and credit cheats. When Mickey gets a call from a colleague named Arlene Robinson, she thinks nothing of Arlene’s unusual request for her to go inventory the vacant home of an arms dealer who cheated ProEye’s clients and fled. That is, until she arrives at the mansion and discovers a dead body in a secret room—and nothing is as it seems. Not only does the arms dealer not exist, but the murder victim turns out to be Harry Langhorne, a man with mob ties who used to be in Witness Protection. What’s more, no one named Arlene Robinson works at ProEye. In the blink of an eye, Gibson has become a prime suspect in a murder investigation—and now her job is on the line until she proves that she was set up. Before long, Gibson is locked in a battle of wits with a brilliant woman with no name, a hidden past, and unknown motives—whose end game is as mysterious as it is deadly.

A fascinating history of the role of martyrdom in the Muslim faith.

This companion volume to the Player's Handbook is designed especially for the Dungeon Master. It features information on creating and running fantasy adventures and campaigns using the AD&D game system. Presented in full-color.

ARE YOU FOR THE KING OR THE REVOLUTION? It's mid-1780 in the American colonies. Georgia and South Carolina have fallen as the British plan to take the South progresses. Meanwhile, Zebulon Mitchell drives wagons to customers in North Carolina. As a coming of age New Garden Quaker man, he worries about the drama enveloping his stepfather's wainwright business. Will British exports smother it if they win? Against his pacifist creed, Zeb joins the militia with two Moravians, an enslaved man Abraham, and young master George. Zeb's sister Sara aids the troops but they all suffer horrors as the militia defends against Loyalists seeking to ambush Continental ammunition. Along the way, a romance develops between Zeb and a young Moravian named Yohanna. Zeb's fate comes down to the Continental army. Washington's last chance in the South is Maj Gen Nathanael Greene. The august British army weakens from chasing Greene to Virginia, yet insufficient firepower could doom Greene in battle. If the Continentals cede North Carolina, the North may fall. Will Zeb's company of artificers come through with a large store of ammo? Zebulon's Oath introduces compelling characters who draw you into their lives. While historical non-fiction tells, this book tugs at the reader's feelings. This isn't a rehash of the Patriot-Loyalist struggle. It's about how pacifist Quakers and Moravians got caught up in the intrigue. Parallel to Zebulon's story, the true historically accurate skirmishes and timeline of the Revolutionary War in the South lead up to a climatic, full staging of the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. The crucial battles of Camden, Kings Mountain, and Cowpens echo through the book in a prelude to the fall of British power in Americas. Interspersed with maps, chapter notes, and bibliography to enrich your reading experience.
