Murder. Magic. Mayhem. But keep it in the family. 
 
Shine's life is usually dull: an orphan without magic in a family of powerful mages, she's left to run the family estate with only an eccentric aunt and telepathic cat for company. 
 
But when the family descend on the house for the annual Fertility Festival, a week of drink, drugs and debauchery, Shine is plunged into intrigue: stolen letters, a fugitive spy, and family drama, mixed with murder, sex and secrets. 
 
As the festival draws to a close, Shine is forced to decide both her loyalties and future...

MURDERERS, CONMEN AND THIEVES 
 
A new breed of villain has risen, possessed of extraordinary intellect and violence. Only the brilliant mind and courage of Sexton Blake, scourge of the criminal world, can stop them, in these three classic stories, collected together in one volume for the first time. 
From the streets of London to the catacombs of Paris, join Blake as he pits his wits against banks robbers, impostors and kidnappers, duels with swords, and pursues his foes by any means necessary.

In the final throes of the generations-long war with the alien Felen, smuggler Jereth Keeven's junk freighter breaks down in a strange rift in deep space, with little chance of rescue - until they encounter a science vessel that claims to be from 152 years in the future. Engineer Uma Ozakka has always been fascinated with the past, especially the desperate peace mission that ended the war with the Felen and ushered in a new age of collaboration - a mission Keeven's first mate Leesongronski is supposed to be leading right now. If Ozakka is right, more than the fates of two ships hangs in the balance...

Walter Goodwater

Don't trust the Liar. 
 
Don't go in the River. 
 
Do not cross the King. 
 
In Red Valley, California, you follow the rules if you want to stay alive. But even that isn't enough to protect Sadie now that she's unexpectedly become the Liar: the keeper and maker of Red Valley's many secrets. In a town like this, friendships are hard-won and bad blood lasts generations, and when not everyone in town is exactly human, it isn't a safe place to make enemies. And though the Liar has power-power to remake the world, with just a little blood-what Sadie really needs is answers: Why is the town's sheriff after her? What does the King want from her? And what is the real purpose of the Liar of Red Valley?
